Cybertruck window tint
The Cybertruck’s rear glass and roof are already dark from the factory, so the same film looks very different on the front and rear windows. The 3D view lets you set tint for each glass group and look from outside or from the driver’s seat, by day or at night.

How film adds to the glass
A film’s VLT multiplies with the glass it goes on: 30% film on the 72% front glass lets through about 22%, and 50% film on the 23% rear door glass about 12%.
| Glass | 70% film | 50% film | 35% film | 20% film | 5% film |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windshield | 53% | 38% | 27% | 15% | 4% |
| Front doors and front triangles | 50% | 36% | 25% | 14% | 4% |
| Rear doors | 16% | 12% | 8% | 5% | 1% |
| Rear window | 18% | 13% | 9% | 5% | 1% |
| Glass roof | 2% | 2% | 1% | under 1% | under 1% |

Film types
Ceramic, carbon and dyed films reflect about as much light as bare glass, roughly 5 to 9%, so on a truck they differ mostly in darkness 3M Ceramic IR data sheet. Metallized “mirror” film reflects more, about 9 to 18% for SunTek’s InfinityOP SunTek specifications, and some states cap reflectance. The 3D view offers ceramic, carbon, dyed and mirror film, with front doors and front triangles at 70, 50, 35, 30, 20, 15 and 5%, rear doors at 70, 50, 35, 30, 20, 15 and 5%, rear window at 70, 50, 35, 30, 20, 15 and 5%, windshield at 70 and 50% and glass roof at 70, 50, 35 and 20%.
What owners choose
On one Cybertruck Owners Club page, owners reported front side windows at 5% (three owners), 15%, 20% and 35%, and windshields at 70% (two), 50% (two) and 45% Cybertruck Owners Club. A common pattern is 20% on the front doors with 70% film over the factory-dark rear glass Cybertruck Owners Club. One owner went back from 15% to 35% on the fronts after a ticket Cybertruck Owners Club.
Tint laws
Limits for the front side windows run from 70% (California, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island) down to 20% (New Mexico), and New Jersey allows no film on them; most states fall between 25% and 70% Rayno, August 2026. Windshield tint is typically allowed only on the top few inches AAA. Check your state’s current rules before you choose.
What tint costs
One Cybertruck shop lists 3M Ceramic IR packages from $500 T Sportline. A Texas shop charges $399, $499 or $649 depending on the film, with the windshield extra at $180, $250 or $350 Kingdom Window Tint.

For other vehicles, the window tint cost calculator gives typical prices by windows and film (dyed, carbon, ceramic and IR ceramic) from shops’ published price lists, and checks a quote you got.
