When I am looking for the sunroof sunshade for my S,share to you at the same time.

The good kind of fat
The top glass is just darkened, it does not include UV protection. Get a tint put on it, you'll block UV and it'll feel cooler.
I just ordered a set from Tesla yesterday "for the pano-roof". I will pass on how well they work out, what type of quality "or lack of" etc. There is no lack of hardcore sunshine here in south east AZ. lol!!

And they work like a charm. I use them every summer and remove in the cooler months. I use two pano roof and one rear hatch. However, I have not had to use them this summer. I has been a bit cooler.
Thought about doing that when I get the side windows "and hatch glass" tinted, but on cooler days, evenings, or through the winter months, etc. I usually enjoy the warmth and light as well as the view of the sky in the cabin. If the sunshades don't cut it for some reason then yes, some level of tint will be needed. If you have done so, how dark did you go? something like "limo tint"? I really don't care about UV blocking as much as I do reducing the thermal load. Thoughts?

That is not what I understood. When glass roof came out, I saw several quotes like this:
"Tesla says their new tinted glass will block 98% of UV rays and 81% of heat, so the car’s interior won’t become a sweltering oven with all that exposure to the sun"
Those numbers look both pretty high and pretty exact (like they were measured or something!)

It really isn't. I never feel heat on my head when driving. The tint works quite well. I got the shades mainly because of my OCD about heat and getting into a hot car. Simply cannot stand it. What I find to be amazing is that I can turn my A/C on from my phone perhaps 2-3 minutes before I get to the car and she is completely comfortable. As a matter of fact, I got home tonight and pulled in my garage, with climate set at 65, which is my preferred setting. I came out 15 minutes later, opened the door to pull my briefcase out and the car actually felt cold inside after being off for that long in an approx 90 degree garage (not too hot today). Pretty neat.

You have all that humidity, which is insufferable. I was just in the Emirates and it was 114 deg F and 95% humidity. Yikes! Thank goodness I live on California Coast. 65F and no humidity. Ha!
