It’s very tinted. No worries about the sun. I suppose there must still be at least some greenhouse effect but from living in the Northeast, I’ve never noticed any heat from the sun through the roof.

Compared to my Subaru’s sun roof, which has dark tinting but lets in a lot of heat, the Tesla glass roof tinting is much darker and doesn’t

It may also help the perception of heat that I usually have cabin overheat protection turned on. After my car has been parked out in the hot sun, even if I forget to turn on climate control ahead of time, the cabin is never over 100° when I get in, and cools quickly

We could probably make it work with the newer ceramic tint. It's meant to be much better than regular. I definitely feel a difference in my car now that it's ceramic tinted.

Not only Teslas, it's an industry wide trend, specially for EVs, but combustion card also have it.

Heavy tint, optionally a shade and A/C. It's pretty comfortable even in full July sun.

Get hot, enjoy extra cancer in the future maybe?

My car has an acrylic roof and never had an issue other than it gets hot in there. I put ceramic tint on all the windows this year and a cover for the top, helps so much when it's 100+ outside with no clouds anywhere!
