I called a local shop that was recommended to me and had a high rating on google reviews. I asked for just the passenger and driver windows to be tinted. He said Tesla’s have issues with moisture in the doors and he won’t touch them.

In to another shop.

So there is another thread with the same issue.

Bottom line:

The shop you called and that the first reply went to are subpar amateur tint shops. A quality shop that knows what they are doing will neither refuse the CT/CB nor will there be tons of moisture throughout the car.

You can watch a ton of videos from OCDetailing in the San Francisco Bay Area (East/South Bay) on YouTube and they tint every piece of glass in the CT/CB all the time and nobody seems to be complaining of this issue.

It seems to be an issue with lower quality tinters that don't have the skill set to deal with the larger panes of glass.

Find a shop that has done a bunch of CTs/CBs and ask for customer references to see if they had issues. I am sure you can find a shop that knows what they are doing.

FWIW.

Cheers

This is the drawback of being an early CT owner. It’ll take time for every shop to have sufficient experience with these as low production as they are, in comparison to everything else.
