So the Model S finished up in Sarasota today and it sounds like it's on its way to the museum in California now. But we had to get a shot of a 1.5, a 2.5, a Sport and the Model S together:

Also, my wife wants the Candy Red so I wanted to make sure that the color will look good alongside my Roaster.
"Additionally, we have superior glass on Model S where needed: the Panoramic Roof, for example, will have an innovative infrared coating, reducing incoming solar load to 20% (for similar sedans, this is typically 50%)."
I love it. According to the Q & A on 7-21, Jerome Guillen said this when asked about available options for hot weather:
I would like to see a mesh screen or something similar for those really hot days. It would be really cool (no pun intended!) if they did something like the Mercedes Magic Sky Now, that is something I would be happy to pay extra for!
We used to have a Mercedes B-Class in Germany that had a great panoramic "concertina" (Lamellendach in German) style roof and at one time talking to Tesla they asked me how it would be on the Model S. We all know there's been plenty of design change since the prototype so who knows what it will finally look like; here's a couple of the Mercedes pics which are not panoramic but give you the idea of how it works:

I wouldn't worry about the glass; the prototype was, well, a prototype. None of the mechanical systems were representative of the final product. It only "looks" like a Model S.
I do love the look of the panoramic roof, call me a worry-wort :redface: but I live in a hot climate. Even with the glass treated to minimize incoming solar load, won't it still put greater demands on the air conditioning, and therefore the battery range?
