US man who installed solar film onto roof of his Tesla Model 3 shares how useful they've been one month in

Key Points:

• An American YouTuber, Mostly Offgrid, installed the Ecoflow Heatguard Solar Film kit on his Tesla Model 3 roof and shared a positive update after one month of use, noting the film's durability and efficiency at high speeds.
• The solar film, costing around $450, adheres with strong 3M VHB tape and does not cause wind noise or reduce the car's efficiency, although it blocks the panoramic sunroof view.
• Despite limited sun on the test day, the solar film generated 138 watts, with estimates of up to 250 watts on sunny days, making it a valuable addition for energy generation, especially for camping and off-grid living.
• Solar-powered vehicles are gaining traction as an eco-friendly option, with innovations from individual enthusiasts to companies like Solarky and Toyota, which is exploring new patents to address challenges in solar car technology.
• The use of solar film represents a practical alternative to traditional solar panels, enhancing electric vehicles' energy self-sufficiency without significant compromises in vehicle performance or noise.
