Is there a way to completely turn off (or close to off) the interior screens so that they dont reflect in the glass roof? I'd love to make the cabin as dark as possible without any reflections for the kids to admire the sky at night.

Anyway to turn the inside completely dark at night?

I turn the brightness all the way down and then put the screen in screen cleaning mode. There's a way, too, to set the browser to full screen and navigate to one of the "all black" web pages that various people have created for that purpose. Neither are a perfect solution, but it's close.

Even for night driving, it's too dang bright. There should be a black out mode that blacks everything, leaving only a small red speedometer.

They still haven't gotten around to setting the suspension to high in park... maybe Jason could hack one together?
All I need late at night is a speedo. Everything else can fall away. Bring it back with a touch to the screen.

Maybe do something low-tech and try covering the CID with a (big) piece of cardboard? Not sure I'd want to do that with the IC but that might work too.

Realistically here's how I'd fix it:
Right Scroll wheel, press, brings up menu list. Last option: "Dark Mode: On"
Press it, and the center screen goes OFF.
Driver Display goes dark, with only speedometer numeric, in red. (best color for night vision).
And miles or % remaining.
that's IT. that's All I need at night. Volume should still work, track next should work. etc.

For watching the city lights or the grunion races while parked, I’ve found that placing dark cloths over the 17” and IC is helpful. I typically have microfiber towels in the car.
Low tech, but works 100% of the time.
Waiting for the car to shut off after 30 minutes is not helpful, and screen cleaning mode only affects the 17” iirc.
While driving, I’ve found that dimming the 17” is sufficient, but passengers would still get reflections from the roof.

No matter how dark you get the interior, you're still going to have to contend with a tinted glass roof. I'm sorry, but you're not going to see much.

LMAO! Yes!!
I use that reference all the time with a couple buds of mine, and everyone else looks at us like we're crazy!
