Tesla Model 3 Highland Window Tint | Santana Nano-Ceramic Tint in Duluth, GA
Tesla Model 3 Highland window tint completed with GLASSTINT® Santana Nano-Ceramic Film at Centum Glasstint in Duluth, GA. Featuring Santana 50% on the windshield, Santana 12% on the sides and rear, and precision Pico-Edge Shaving for a clean factory-like finish.
Why Window Tint Makes Such a Big Difference in a Tesla Model 3 Highland
The Tesla Model 3 Highland is designed with a clean, modern interior and a large amount of glass surrounding the cabin. While this creates an open and spacious feeling, it also allows a significant amount of sunlight and heat to enter the vehicle.
For this Model 3 Highland, we installed GLASSTINT® Santana Nano-Ceramic Window Film to improve heat control, comfort, privacy, and UV protection.
After the installation, the customer described the difference as being like “night and day.”
Before the tint was installed, the customer frequently felt uncomfortable from the sunlight coming through the windows. She was also concerned about prolonged sun exposure because she regularly experienced uneven skin tone, dark spots, and skin irritation.
After completing the full window tint installation, she immediately noticed that the cabin felt more comfortable and that the direct sunlight against her skin felt significantly reduced.
Premium window tint is not a medical treatment and cannot replace proper skincare or sunscreen. However, a high-quality film that blocks ultraviolet radiation can help reduce the amount of UV exposure received while driving.
For customers who spend a lot of time commuting around Duluth, Suwanee, Johns Creek, Buford, or the greater Atlanta area, this added protection can make an especially noticeable difference.
GLASSTINT® Santana Nano-Ceramic Film for Heat and UV Protection
For this Tesla Model 3 Highland, the customer selected GLASSTINT® Santana, a premium nano-ceramic window film designed to provide strong heat rejection without relying on a heavily reflective appearance.
The installation specifications were:
- Windshield: Santana 50%
- Front side windows: Santana 12%
- Rear side windows: Santana 12%
- Rear windshield: Santana 12%
The 50% shade on the windshield maintains a relatively clear and natural appearance while helping reduce solar heat and glare entering through the large front glass.
For the sides and rear, the customer selected Santana 12% to create a darker, more private appearance. This shade works especially well for Tesla owners who prefer stronger privacy and a more unified exterior look.
Santana Nano-Ceramic Film also provides a clean black appearance that complements the simple and modern design of the Model 3 Highland.
Unlike low-quality dyed films that may fade, discolor, or lose performance over time, premium nano-ceramic tint is designed to deliver more consistent heat rejection, UV protection, optical clarity, and long-term durability.
Choosing Between Santana 12% and 20% Window Tint
Window tint shade is not a one-size-fits-all decision. The best percentage depends on the customer’s privacy preference, driving habits, interior color, and desired appearance.
For this vehicle, the customer chose Santana 12% on the side and rear windows.
Santana 12% is a great choice for drivers who want:
- Increased privacy
- A darker and more aggressive exterior appearance
- Reduced visibility into the cabin
- Stronger relief from bright sunlight
- A balanced look across the side and rear glass
However, some customers prefer a lighter shade, especially if they frequently drive at night or do not want the windows to appear too dark.
In that case, Santana 20% may be a better option.
Santana 20% still provides noticeable privacy and heat control, but it offers a slightly brighter interior view compared to 12%. It can be a comfortable middle ground for customers who want protection and style without choosing the darkest available option.
At Centum Glasstint, we do not simply apply the same shade to every vehicle. We discuss the customer’s preferences, driving environment, interior color, and desired level of privacy before recommending a film percentage.
The goal is not just to make the vehicle darker. The goal is to create the right balance of comfort, visibility, appearance, and protection for each individual customer.
Pico-Edge Shaving for a Clean, Factory-Like Tesla Finish
A premium film alone does not guarantee a premium result.
The final appearance depends heavily on how the film is measured, installed, trimmed, and finished around the glass.
The Tesla Model 3 Highland uses frameless door windows. When the door opens, the glass lowers slightly, exposing the upper edge of the window. Because of this design, even a small gap between the film and the edge of the glass can become clearly visible.
At Centum Glasstint, we complete Tesla frameless windows using our precision Pico-Edge Shaving technique.
Instead of leaving a noticeable untinted gap along the top edge, the film is carefully finished extremely close to the glass edge. This creates a smooth, consistent appearance that looks far more integrated with the vehicle.
The result is:
- Minimal visible film gap
- Clean upper glass edges
- A refined factory-like appearance
- Consistent alignment across every window
- Higher overall installation quality
This detail may seem small, but it is one of the first things that separates an average tint installation from a truly premium one.
Tesla owners often pay close attention to clean body lines, flush surfaces, and minimalist design. The window tint should follow that same design philosophy.
Our Pico-Edge Shaving process allows the film to look like it belongs on the vehicle rather than appearing like an aftermarket layer placed on top of the glass.

For this Tesla Model 3 Highland, the combination of GLASSTINT® Santana Nano-Ceramic Film, Santana 50% on the windshield, Santana 12% on the sides and rear, and precision Pico-Edge Shaving created a complete transformation.
