awesome stuff.....i need that here in SA

 

We recently conducted a test to see how hot the Tesla Model S gets in the rear. There is a general consensus among Tesla owners regarding too much heat build up. For the rear hatch of the Tesla Model S, there is an option for rear facing seats for children. Owners of the Model S have been complaining and executives at Tesla even know of this issue. With that said, we decided to conduct a test to measure the ambient air temperature of the rear hatch. Tesla's rear hatch glass is a laminated glass that has a metallic coating to it to reject some heat; however, even this is not enough from our findings.

Though this is not a 991, we believe it is necessary to show the efficacy of every product we carry at Premier. Below is our test:

Test Subjects - 2 Tesla Model S
Tesla 1 - factory laminated OEM Glass with metallic coating
Tesla 2 - Spectra PhotoSync 45 installed to the side glasses + rear hatch

30 Minute Test in the Rear Hatch with both vehicles side by side
Duration: 30 Minutes
Time of Test: 3:35 pm
Exterior Temperature: 88 degrees
Purpose: Compare air temperatures inside hatch between vehicle with no window film and the other with Spectra PhotoSync installed

Here are the two test mules:


Test Vehicle 1 - No Film
Start off at 84 degrees


In just 3 minutes the temperature rose to 92 degrees


Close to 7 minutes, the air temperature rises to 105 degrees


At the 15 minute marker, temperature is at an unbearable 123 degrees


26 Minutes - Temperature now reads 136 degrees


At the end of the 30 minute test, it is a scalding 140 degrees, which is the reason why leaving children in a vehicle can be a fatal mistake.

 

Test Vehicle 2 with Spectra PhotoSync 45 installed to the side and rear hatch.

Test starts at 85 degrees



At the 15 minute marker, it is 96 degrees compared to Vehicle 1 at 123 degrees.



At the completion of the test at 31 Minutes, the Tesla Model S with Sepctra PhotoSync is at 104 degrees compared to 140 degrees in the other Tesla. This is a 36 degree differential!

We are now carrying a new ceramic line, CeraLuxe Quantum Ceramic, made by Prestige Film Technologies - same company that manufactures Spectra PhotoSync. Performance is ahead of all ceramic tints on the market and also above ALL 3M tints, this is one spectacular film. It also does not affect radio or e-signals and does not have a reflective look. Luxury window film producing high heat rejection without compromise. On the pricing end, it does cost about 20%-25% less than Spectra PhotoSync!

Comes in the following shades: 73%, 45%, 33%, and 20% (By comparison PhotoSync comes in the following shades: 75%, 65%, 55%, 45%, 35%)

Here is our BTU (british thermal unit) video test of CeraLuxe Quantum Ceramic compared to others:

CeraLuxe labeled as "CLX"

On this BTU meter test, we put 3 different films to test against CeraLuxe 73% - which is rated at 53% Total Solar Energy Rejection + an IRR (infrared rejection) rating of 88%. In the line up of other films, we used a 3% metallic limo tint, 35% hybrid nano-carbon film, and a 50% popular ceramic. The results for CLX are impressive.
