Dash speaker grill reflection on the windshield as a grid-like pattern - all I see is a reflection of a bunch of dots

[kevinMXY]

Is anyone with 2021-2022 Model X experiencing a grid-like pattern reflected on the windshield result of the sun hitting on the dash speaker? That part seems fairly reflective and you can in fact see it while driving in the sun. It's incredibly bad glare all across the windshield. On the top of the dashboard just reflects those little holes from the dash speaker onto the windshield so all I see is a reflection of a bunch of dots. Does this bother anyone else?

I know there are 3 solutions to this ( polarized sunglass, dash mat, paint the grill black), however, it seems not everyone gets this issue. Now I suspect it might be due to faulty glass for the windshield or the supplier's paint issue for the speaker grill. Tesla uses multiple vendors for their parts to avoid parts constraintss. Sometimes these vendors may produce parts with quality issues.

Anyone have insight on this?

I have the same issue depends what part of the day when the sun hits. For me I just ignore it but I’m sure there is a correction techniqu.

i didn't notice it until a couple days ago. It definitely depends on the angle of the sun. It's not defective, just unfortunate.

I did and it’s pretty ugly. Use a dash mat on a 150k car looks like a grandma ‘s underwear

If I wasn't such and old fart I could do so. I'm pretty sure it's there on Amazon or try Evannex.

I've only found them for the older X. Nothing for the new one yet.

There's one on Amazon for $28, if it doesn't fit or it's not to your liking, there is Free Returns. Shows fit up to 2022

Submit a question to double check? Or try Evannex. Or there are other dashboard cover makers out there.

I bought a extended long mouse pad and painted with Matte black. Works better than a dash mat

No smell when it heats up in the sun?
