Are you sure the rear windows will come tinted? This was something I studied for some time since I also scheduled a window tint for my 4S for next month. From what I could find, there is a Privacy Glass option outside the US to tint the rear windows that the US configurator doesn't offer. I've yet to see any Taycan pictures in the US where the rear windows are darker from the factory, and in other responses in this forum it was mentioned that the Thermally & Noise Insulated Glass option here was observed in person that the rear windows were not any darker than the front windows.Will tint the driver side windows to match the rears.
I took delivery this week of a 4S with insulated glass. No tint on rear windows that I can see. Tinting scheduled for Tuesday...Are you sure the rear windows will come tinted?

You are right - must have been the angle of the pic I was looking at. Definitely will increase the tint of the side windows.Are you sure the rear windows will come tinted?

Might be a noob question but is Xpel a clear wrap for paint protection? Any other benefit? And would someone provide approx cost for the Taycan?
Clear XPEL cover the whole car, but I leave out the windows for now. Need to see how the regular heat and sound insulating glass is performing.
Yes, I did a clear wrap for paint protection. Price in China might be very different...Might be a noob question but is Xpel a clear wrap for paint protection? Any other benefit? And would someone provide approx cost for the Taycan?
XPEL is a brand of paint protection film. Benefits... the main one of course is protection against flying rocks and other actions that would otherwise leave a scratch. I had a 3M PPF installed on the front of my 2009 Acura TSX and after 11 years the paint there still looks solid, no chips. The glossy XPEL PPF also has a top healing coat, so swirls or light scratches that get introduced can come out. XPEL has a matte looking PPF as well (Stealth), which can change the look of your car if you want. I did that on our Model X.Might be a noob question but is Xpel a clear wrap for paint protection?

Cost... I've seen from $5k to $7.5k in the US, give or take. The key thing is to have a skilled and experienced installer. The cost may be higher for a more reputable one. A good installer will wrap the edges of the PPF on a full body install so it doesn't look like stickers were slapped on the car. Wrapping the edges also doesn't leave any transition lines for dirt to accumulate on.
You essentially can treat the PPF like you would with paint. For a glossy PPF you can even put on a ceramic coating on top of it to get the hydrophobic benefits of ceramic and make washing your car easier. For waxing, XPEL's site has an FAQ for their PPF product where they mention "be sure the product you are using doesn’t contain Naphtha or Kerosene in concentrations over 5%, and avoid waxes that contain dyes", and then of course they go on to recommend their own products. For washing, I suppose any PH neutral car soap will do just fine... I happen to use Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash soap.Tks for the infos, as soon as I will have my turbo s, I am putting 3m on all the car. how take care of that product ? Washing ?
