We've seen it on new vehicles, polishing it should remove it. Definitely not the shops fault.

If you look at your 1st photo, u can see the XR Black and CS Black are both charcoal when compared to the XR Plus. It still might have hint of blue but not very noticeable. Same way F1 Pinnacle has a hint of green the last time I checked which you did not notice. CS is a basic dyed film, heat rejection is minor.

XR Black in the middle is going to be the normal charcoal color similar to Llumar/F1.

If it does not have to be adhered by adhesive, you can try static cling. I do this for my driving pass. Add sticker to the cling and the cling will hold onto the the tint and still be easily removable if needed. Of coarse, assuming the sticker will stick to the static cling.

There is no such thing. Window film naturally looks clearer/lighter when looking out versus outside looking inside. However, the darker the film, the less visibility you will have looking out. Looking at one of his videos, the side window looks pretty clear because it is a sunny day, which allows it to look lighter since there is more light outside of the vehicle. The same way you can do 15% on your home but at night with interior lights, it looks like there is virtually no tint. Also, when looking at his video, you can easily see the side windows are much darker than the windshield when he pans around the interior. So no magic, no new technology, just a sales gimmick for an Amazon-quality film with some idiots believing you can install a 5% film but have 90% clarity looking out. Regarding Carbon Ceramic, I do not know of a quality brand that makes it. Many cheaper films add Carbon to their Ceramic films to make them color-stable. Adding Carbon is much cheaper for small manufacturers to make a color-stable film versus the standard dyed process. Only the big boys (Eastman/Garware/3M) have the money and technology to use the dyed method to make a truly color-stable film. If these small manufacturers tried this, their films would turn purple and fade quickly.

The film should be on the inside, so your windshield is probably just dirty. If the film didn't crunch when you rolled the side window down, it's probably OK too. Might want to just wipe it lightly to see if it's just dirty on the surface.

1984 called and they're asking what's wrong with that! 

Check out this mobile tint job we are replacing! Apparently, this was the tinter's 5th attempt on the job.

From "Peel"...can't make that stuff up.
 
Law sounds a bit like whatever they want it to be tho. Poor guy probably has to fill up the school cars and got yanked doing his job.

Never had it on a Tesla but we did have it in the same spot on a couple of G37s. The bottom rubber is most likely hitting the edge of the film and peeling it up. If cutting the film right at the rubber guide, what Dano said will most likely be the solution. Only other option is to tuck more film behind the rubber.

If XR Black, IRX has a higher IR heat rejection. If XR Plus, it has a higher IR heat rejection. However, focus on which shop you feel will do the better job. Reviews are a great starting point, but stopping by the shop to see some vehicles in the parking lot is better. Also, see which shop seems more confident about their work.

I've not had that issue. Are you pulling the sweep out?
 
If not maybe round the corner a little more, put a bit more pressure on a blue conqueror and leave a triangle in there with a paper towel to soak up moisture. I usually do the doors first and leave the door locks rolled until I finish the rest of the job. 
 
That's my best guesses and remedies.

Unfortunately, I would take it to a regular shop. Maybe they will have mercy and win a customer for life if they can get it right.
 
Check the reviews and go look at their work on site around mid day. They should have a few fresh installs out in the lot. 
 
If you have questions about their products post em up before you go for the installation. Someone here will try to help out I'm sure.

We used to use it on the film once we completed a job. It gives it an extremely smooth feel when you glide your hand across it. So would help with friction. You just wipe it on like a glass cleaner.

Roll down the window and spray the gasket. Just using it to reduce friction, not polish.

Thx. My preferred shop was a Llumar dealer before he switched to Xpel.
 
I know there has been lotsa talk about 3M for the front WS and it's performance vs other brands if I recall when I brought up the LAH thing
 
It's been eon's since I've used 3M was I was never a fan of the coloration on them.
 

I had a Jeep Compass that metered 30% on the privacy glass. I was in disbelief it was so light.

Simply put: Where the greater light source is, is where one can see to better.

On a side note, this reminded me of when Photosync came out with transitional automotive film around 2012. Everyone was talking about it on forums like it was some magical film. Of course, they ditched that technology sometime before 2020 because it was all hype with a limited transition lifespan. CoolVu came out with their transitional film around that time with much wider transitions. This post made me look them up, and within a few years, it seems they are no longer offering it for automotive applications, only flat glass. Plus, opening franchises instead of pushing for more dealers.

I assume it has more to do with the factory privacy glass since you added a 70% over it. Most 70% films are going to have a bluish hue but are so light, it is barely noticeable. Some of the Global tinters can chime in on the color but knowing year/make/model vehicle might help.
 
I would take it back to the tinter to redo it for the light gap or at least to stick the edge down better. The longer you wait, the harder to remove if getting redone and the adhesive will dry up from that lifted section.
