Tesla's website (Model Y information page) no longer refers to IR protection. Now it says "An expansive Glass Roof provides more headroom and UV protection".The order page on Tesla’s website gives details on what’s included for the interior. It says “Tinted glass roof with ultraviolet and infrared protection”. It doesn’t say how much protection but it’s apparently included. Some people will still tint the roof further to help with more heat rejection.

The glass roof on MY absolutely has infrared heat rejection. It may not provide the highest heat rejection available; however, it's present. Without infrared heat rejection properties, the solar energy - heat you actually feel on your skin - would be intense in temperatures above ~90°F.AFAIK, the roof glass on the Y does NOT have IR/heat protection. Many of the members here tint their roof with 30% or greater UV/IR blocking film. I, on the other hand, have the roof shade from Tesmanian (v2 with magnets). It works wonders against scorching CA sun. I am very comfortable in 100 degree weather running the AC at 70 degrees. I take the shade down in the none-summer months tho starting in October to about end of May to enjoy the skies.

I have a UVB meter, will try it tomorrow.UVA penetrates the skin and is responsible for premature aging, UVB causes sunburn and skin cancer. Any uncoated glass transparent to light in the visible spectrum blocks all UVB and a minority of UVA. Tesla’s nonmetallic coating doesn’t interfere with wireless signals, unlike metallic coatings used on the windshield (only) by some other manufacturers.
That YouTube video covers the IR, very impressive.
UVB meter through glass roof in direct sun.I have a UVB meter, will try it tomorrow.
Can you do the side windows (front and back since the front has an acoustic layer) and windshield as well? It'd be awesome to see what the sun is currently measuring without the roof too.UVB meter through glass roof in direct sun.View attachment 719237
Will do. I also did the windshield and the drivers side window, then the clouds came. Windshield was 0.0, drivers side flickered between 0.0 and 0.1, occasionally 0.2 but 70% of the time was 0.0. My Y was delivered 06/2020 so I don’t have the same drivers glass as you, yours should be even better.Can you do the side windows (front and back since the front has an acoustic layer) and windshield as well?

Much thanks, objective data is fantastic.Will do. I also did the windshield and the drivers side window, then the clouds came.
