I just got the Model 3, the glass roof with this gnarly California sun is bad news, especially with my baby in the back.
Model 3 Glass Roof Sunshade... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QNJR94V?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I ordered this sun shade and it’s AWESOME. just wanted to share in case anyone else needed one.
Thanks for sharing. I have been looking at different brands but it has started to cool down where I’m at so maybe next summer.

I would recommend also this sunshade design not covering the very end part of the rear window,
otherwise you loose a lot of visibility especially at night.

I noticed the following SunShade, and I wonder if the additional Heat Insulation Film is really worthwhile?
In particular how much the Film would block any view of the surrounding.




Did you find any side widow shades especially for the back seat?
It is difficult to find a practical design because of the frame-less side windows.

I am considering the following model, but I wonder how it will stay when opening a door?
May be adding a little clip on the top would keep the sunshade attached to the windows when opening a door.
However, this could be nice to have when waiting at a supercharger on a sunny day.

This particular sunshade I bought leaves the lower rear part of the back window uncovered for visibility purposes, really smart design. As far as the side windows go I got the car tinted soooo dark it almost looks like you’re driving in the evening during the day hahaha, so my only concern was the roof/rear glass.

I bought the TOPlight brand sunshade covers off of Amazon when they were on sale for $35 shipped for both front & back a few months ago. Better price than the $60-ish I see from other sellers.

Mine work great and they block the heat really well. They were a perfect snug fit and there's no sagging at all after 4 months now with a good amount of parking outside under the hot SoCal sun. I'll take them off later this month since I won't need them when it's colder, but for the summertime they're an absolute necessity.
