"A woman recently tinted the windows on her Tesla and believes this means she can't open the door for the next four days. Is she being a responsible car owner or overdoing it? TikTok creator Rachel Hughes (@heyrachelhughes) posted a video with her Tesla conundrum over the weekend. The video shows Hughes in her Tesla looking resigned to the next four days of limited freedom."
"In the comments section, viewers let Hughes know that she isn't actually forbidden from opening her Tesla doors for that long. I also drive a Tesla with tinted windows and it's totally OK to open the door while it's curing, wrote one viewer. They only roll down a tiny bit. A second person said, I've forgotten and rolled a window down too early every single time (probably 20+ cars) and it's never been an issue. Find a different tint shop."
"In general, it takes up to five days for a newly tinted window to fully cure. Until that time, your tinted windows are vulnerable to bubbling or peeling. That's why Hughes was likely told by the technician who did her window tint to refrain from opening the doors on her Tesla for a four-day period. But the drivers in the comments section who said they skirted the rules without consequence aren't exactly alone."
Rachel Hughes posted a TikTok showing reluctance to open her Tesla driver's side door for four days after window tinting. Viewers replied that many Tesla owners open doors during curing without problems and reported no issues after slight window movement. New tint film can take up to five days to fully cure, and premature window movement can risk bubbling or peeling. Technicians often advise avoiding door openings that send windows down fully during that curing period. Some tint shops specifically worry about windows going all the way down, while other drivers report successfully ignoring the restriction.
