Also please don’t eviscerate me for accidentally using MYP in the title for a Premium and not a Performance.

Are you glad you installed it and have you had any issues with screen responsiveness, bubbles, etc.?

Tesla recommends strongly against them. A screen protector can interfere with the touch screen reliability. I don’t have the manual page handy, but it’s definitely in the owner manual.

The one I bought came with like a template to make sure it installed properly. And yes I am because 2 days after I bought it, my wife was taking her MacBook out of the car and slapped the corner of the screen. Screen protector shattered but screen was safe and sound. Almost didn’t have a wife if the screen also shattered

Super.
Perhaps you can share your anecdotal experience with Tesla’s engineering, marketing, support, and legal departments.
Currently, here’s what the owner manual cautions regarding [screen protectors](https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-518C51C1-E9AC-4A68-AE12-07F4FF8C881E.html#:~:text=The%20Controls%20%3Cem%3Escreen%3C%2Fem%3E%20appears%20over%20the%20map):
CAUTION
Do not apply a screen protector on the touchscreen. Doing so can result in unintended inputs to the touchscreen (phantom inputs), delayed response or unresponsiveness to touches, electrostatic discharge which can damage the touchscreen, etc. Any damage caused by installing a screen protector is not covered by the warranty.

I prefer using the satin protectors. Less reflection, less finger prints, easier to clean, feels better to touch.

That's just them covering their asses as some screen protectors can be bad and they don't want to deal with issues because of that; I understand that. But that doesn't mean that every screen protector is bad. A good one can be very beneficial, eg. the screen is no longer a fingerprint magnet.

I have spigen almost since day 0. No issues whatsoever and the screen isn't a fingeprint magnet plus there's some extra layer of protection.
One word of advice for installation - be really sure there are no dust particles left on the screen.

I made a thread about this a couple of days ago. No one has reported any of the doom and gloom issues Tesla warns against. The Tesla touchscreen is not magical nor does it contain any kind of magical fairy dust. It's no different than an iPad/tablet/laptop touchscreen. I put a protector on the front and rear touchscreens and have not had a single issue.
Just be aware that there are two different sizes for the '26 models, a 15.4" and a 16". Make sure you order the right one. The 16" protectors are harder to find right now, probably because that size is a recent addition.

Spigen hasn’t launched a 16” screen protector, yet afaik.

I only do it for the rear screen because I got 5 and 2 year old boys. But for the front… nah don’t do it

I had a 2023 MY with a Spigen matte protector. I really hated the matte so I replaced it with a Spigen glossy screen protector. Zero issues with bubbling or touch or anything else. It works flawlessly. It also helps somewhat prevent fingerprints.
6 months ago I got my 2026 MY and I never got around to getting a screen protector. I haven’t noticed the difference. At this point I’m not even going to bother. Your screen is not going to get scratched.

You do not need it. It's not like your phone screen that gets stuck in a pocket or bag scraping alongside metal keys. There were concerns about phantom touches.

Just a CYA from them in case someone messes up their screen while putting on the protector or something stupid like that. But most protectors come with an installation frame or way to align it so it's pretty idiot-proof.
I'm sure somewhere, someone has tried attaching a screen protector with super glue or some other stupid idea.

I think my concern was more around fingerprints and glare. When shopping, I was looking at a lot of used ones online and photos with screens so dirty you could hardly read whatever display they were trying to show me.

I bet you’re fun af at parties. Good lord man. The screen protector works just fine in the 2+ years I’ve had it on my screen. No issues.

Had the Spigen one installed. Removed after one month
It is super easy to install and went on cleanly, however, I wasn't a fan of the overall look and how it changed the clarity (this may be subjective and others wouldnt notice), secondly, I have polarized sunglasses and it made the screen colors look terrible....lots of purples and pinks.
I also didnt notice a reduction in fingerprints but it did help to not make them so obvious.

Why would you want one? Its not scratch sensitive at all.

Screen protectors are more prone. The proper solution is to wipe the screen with a microfiber cloth.
However if you insist go ahead and buy.
