Just be aware that UV is not heat
That's ok. IR (infrared) is not heat either.
Thank you kindly.

Just be aware that UV is not heat
I wonder about that. I've been told by dermatologists that they see more skin cancers on the left side of the face in left-hand-drive countries due to greater sun exposure in cars (and how many people really drive with the windows open since the advent of AC?). Although regular glass does cut out most UV I do get a lot of UV fading through the windows in my house. Perhaps cars, especially modern cars, use better UV filtering than double pane house window glass.UV is not a problem for any car...

There is some variation in results from different manufacturers but as an average ..I wonder about that.
Two melanoma surgeries for me — presumably due to my misspent youth growing up on the beaches of Hawai'i (fifth generation kama'aina). So I tend to be concerned about UV, living here at high altitude in Colorado!There is some variation in results from different manufacturers but as an average ..
This is a nice summary from the Cancer Council of Australia:

I have a similar mis-spent youth on the beaches of California, and while I have not grown any melanomas yet the skin damage is apparent and I've also grown my own cataracts.Two melanoma surgeries for me — presumably due to my misspent youth growing up on the beaches of Hawai'i (fifth generation kama'aina).

They can but it is costly. I think electrochromatic, while cool (pun not intended) feature, it's overkill for a car. I can't imagine having to have it replaced if it would get chipped, cracked, or malfunction.Why can't they implement electrochromatic tinting like Lucid Air or S class?
I'm in Houston, and I have the Pano roof (glass with the sunroof). It's not a problem at all. In fact, when I went to get the windows tinted, I had intended to put additional tint on the roof. They guy waived me off it, telling me that Tesla already had it covered. This is a guy that could have just said "yes, sir" and made some real money off the job, but he was being honest.
From my own experience, my Model S does not get nearly as hot as when I would forget to close the (much smaller) moonroof cover in the Lexus I gave up for the MS. With nothing additional on the Pano roof and a high visibility tint on the rest of the glass, it's cooler than the Lexus was with the cover closed.
