Default Window tint fellow Texans ?

Or similar summer bake states ;-)

All my previous cars have been four door sedans with as a result, large acres of glass to further heat up the inside when it's 105F out. I've always gone with a pinnacle ceramic tint up to the legal limit to take the strain off the A/C.

I was originally thinking of doing the same with my coupe but when I look at the square footage of glass, it really doesn't seem that much (apart from the windscreen). So fellow coupe owners, apart from a cosmetic decision, have you found the need to tint to survive our summer months ? Mine does have the pano roof option which looks already tinted, and I know 3M now do a clear film for the windscreen which is heat rejecting to a similar level as optical tint. Maybe I choose to just do that big piece of glass ?

Comments from coupe owners who have already made it through a summer month or three welcomed :-)

This might be helpful - supposedly new (2017 and later) windshields are heat reflecting. They are also causing issues with toll transponders...
