This whole thing is is upsetting, I need to stop reading this thread. I really just want an answer about the IR properties of the rear piece with no orange. I'd prefer consistency in my roof, however I do not know if I would ask to have it changed if it had good IR protection. it seems like asking for trouble.

glass roof - production change (July 2018)?

Just dropped off my car at Burbank SC for paint issues. I mentioned IR coating on the roof but none of them service rep had any ideas what i was talking about. They asked me to email them some pix and they will help look into this matter. Told them i have small child in the back seat everyday, having the same UV and IR protection for her is paramount.

I'm just upset that when the back window gets wet, a big Tesla logo consisting of orange dots doesn't appear. That'd be cool!
kinda like those coffee mugs that display stuff when warm water is poured in.
We should suggest this to Tesla!

How much UV/IR protection is provided in a convertible with the top down?
How much UV/IR protection is provided as I'm walking down the street towards my Model 3 in bright sunshine?
All of those poor people on the beach laying out in the sun.....and those poor kids playing in the water.
And all of those poor clear window ICE cars with no Red/Orange glow on their windows and sunroofs.
What is the world coming to?
For those that don't know.....I'm being sarcastic...lol

This thread almost made me forget my original reason for getting a Tesla in the first place.
If all cars were Tesla's maybe the ozone would stop being devastated by emissions and there would be no reason to have to block UV and IR. <------our God given OZONE/atmosphere would help do it.
Its not too late.

Quick. Someone crank up the heat to max temp and flow. Let it get nice and toasty then mist it down. Or right before a rainfall.

16 pages as far as I can tell no one has been able to actually measure the difference, if any, in IR transmission? Shouldn't this be easy to measure with an IR thermometer or thermal imaging camera. I'm still waiting for my AWD 3 which will likely have the newer glass configuration. I have friend that has pretty early build so I can make a comparison some day but I would think with all this angst there are two cars close to each and someone with the right tool to measure now.

I said this earlier. Someone in the Bay Area in Fremont reach out or drive to Premier Mobile Group. They have the tools the measure this and probably have tinted more Tesla’s than any other high end shop.
If I lived closer I would drive there myself. Heck I might give them a call or email if no one on this thread lives in the Bay. There has got to be two model 3 owners one with the red coating and one without in the area.

Who really cares to the point where they won't take delivery?
Who won't take delivery based on the color of the glass?

If this was a cost saving measure they started this a long time time back. I have the half red rear window on our VIN 53XX vehicle.

Thanks!
I was actually serious and it should work I think. Either right before it rains or before someone mists down their rear window. Crank up the heat and bring the internal temp up. Make sure window defrosters and such are also on to cause it to be warmer. The cool water/rain should fog up a bit and show it better. I could be wrong though.

When I wash my car, April build 014xxx, I can make waves of orange water flow off the roof because of the coatings!

There's probably a small percentage of buyers that could succumb to their OCD/anal retentiveness.
