I recommend Maui Jims for polarized sun glasses because because I get less of an effect compared to Oakley and other glasses because they use a different style or polarization. I will say this being my second screen protector from Spigen, one for my model y and one for my model 3 I hardly notice the rainbow effect. I have noticed that the matte with sometimes wash out the screen if the sun hits it just right. I still recommend this screen protector to anyone who has a model y
What about if you had tinted windows on your Tesla? then you would not have as much light coming into the car and therefore the Matte Screen Protector might be to dark and you would be better off with the Glossy Screen Protector, IMO.
Are you doing a video about why you traded in 3 for Y? My main concern about the Y is the ride quality ( endlessly mentioned in UK reviews). How are you finding it compared to the 3?
The ride quality is super nice. Got my MY two months ago. I really don’t get all the talk and complaining about the ride quality. It’s firm and sporty. Just put the 20” summer wheels on and it’s the same as the 19” winter tiers.
@@BenVallack I have been on a few trips and drove the car through Europe and I have to say it highly depends where you live/drive. On uneven or bumpy roads the car seems to find it difficult to settle. This introduces a slight lack of confidence in the grip and handling at times. Another thing I noticed while driving on Czech highways is that even the concrete blocks are covered with a layer of asphalt they are still resulting in a shaking sensation in the car. For instance other cars are neutralizing the bump and you can barely hear that you are driving over an unevenness on the road. In the MY you cannot rest your head on the headrest unless you like being punched in the back of the head all the time. On top of that it seems the suspension goes into something like a resonance which makes it feel like you are constantly accelerating between bumps and decelerating while driving over the bump. This was extremely noticeable on the bike rack I was towing. I had to jiggle a bit with the speed of the cruise control until I found out that 107 km/h seemed to be the best speed. I was otherwise driving with 125 km/h and anything above that made it worse while setting it down made it better. 107 ended up being the sweet spot in terms of carrying some speed while minimizing the mentioned effect.
I have a 2018 Subaru Outback, also with a touchscreen, though all vital driving functions do not require/use it, thankfully. It doubles as the display for the backup camera. I sincerely wish it had a hood like the older style dashboard interface that shades from the sun: the backup camera (I was using to know curb alignment on a busy Redmond, WA street) is of limited value when the sun shines in and you can’t see anything clearly on the screen as a result. The same screen is also used for built-in navigation and Apple CarPlay, Android Auto. The thought there would be a reason to BE a market for screen protectors for something on a car’s dashboard is a design flaw as I see it. Other than the problem I’d have to deal with of living in an apartment with NO WAY to recharge a BEV, I’m not persuaded a huge touchscreen tablet for the user interface is a wise design choice inside a car for its dashboard/controls, and as you demonstrated in the video, it absolutely has issues with being used in the sun or particular light conditions for glare: I never had concerns like this for any car I had before my current car. I’ve contemplated 3D printing a touchscreen display hood/shroud that mounts in place of the CD player (almost had the car 5 years, that’s a feature I’ve never tested! The head unit takes USB thumb drives or smartphones or Bluetooth, so why would I carry CDs with me???) for that purpose. Touchscreens have their place, but so do things that are not touchscreens that are tactile and not prone to problems in their expected environments/use-cases.
An interface like that on a car just seems insane to me. Low contrast interface elements with small text and no tactility. Scrolling screens and menus. Don’t get me wrong the interfaces in many other new cars are also terrible, but I just don’t understand why anyone would prefer to poke about at an iPad while driving instead of pressing physical buttons and having clear legible accessible gauges and indicators that are always available in the same location. I could understand something like what Tesla has implemented as a good secondary interface, limited to navigation and configuration, with primary functions and systems having their own dedicated interfaces, but as the only interface it just makes no sense to me, and frankly based on the experiences I’ve had, as a driver and as a pedestrian in an urban environment, in and around cars with touch based interfaces that replace accessible mechanical interfaces for primary functions, I’m strongly inclined to support regulation limiting their use across all manufacturers.
Think of it as a setup device. 99% of the interaction with it is done while parked. You use it to read your speed when driving and monitoring blind spots but the rest of the interactive interface is actually done on the steering wheel.

Thank you very much, I have bought the Matt one…am a little nervous about the quality of the fonts etc.

Um... a display has a backlight, so even if the interior of the car is dark, the screen would be visible because that's just how a screen works
@@quazimoto5241But it would still be dulled by a Matt Screen protector. That's like watching TV while wearing dark sunglasses...

Yep detailed comparison on the way. Ride quality issue is nonsense. It rides like a dream!

Hi I was looking on getting the matte one myself but wasn’t sure how it would react with the screen look/ feel
In direct comparison the picture is a bit washy, but you won‘t recognize it after a while.
The screen feels amazing, very smooth, no fingerprints.
Great vids

It's so much plastic trash for these application kits.
Agree - be good to see them make it out card or something - must be possible.
