No car roof-line I've had before, would block the view of a stoplight above. It's just that the MX sunshade comes to a lower point that could/would.

Because "Captain Kitty" has a nice ring to it!
I wonder if I can customize mine with Elon's face.

Just got a push notification that a software update is available for my Tesla but it is at the SC
That will almost always happen, as they update it to the latest whenever it's in the shop. It'll be installed when you get it back.
How does that compare with you're X windshield? We're pretty sun adverse too, and after test-driving the pano Model S, opted for the solid roof.
Just slightly better since it is a bit more darker and it is directly over your head instead of face but I still don't like it.
The weather is 95 outside currently so this is an extreme test. I am not even driving the S as a result

I have a 2013 85 with the panoramic roof and I hate it. I don't know if it lets more heat in than the X or if it's just because it's closer to my head, but with the 100+ heat here in central California, it's annoying at best!
Also, this is my first real experience with a Model S and I have to say I love the Model X MUCH BETTER. Now I realize this is a 2013, but I can't imagine there are that many ergonomic changes since then that will change my opinion.
Yea for some reason this loaner S feels like crap even though it is the P85 the new S's at the Tesla store and my X is much nicer.

Got my X yesterday. Got the sunshade. Feel silly/dumb, but can't figure it out. Is it for the top of the windshield while driving to reduce heat from the roof or for when the car is parked for the front to block sun? It doesn't fit well for either application? I would imagine tesla would have a perfect fit/alignment for the sunshade.
Figured there's nobody better to ask then the captain!

I'm not the captain -- but my Norwegian grandfather captained several Merchant Marines cargo vessels.
It is for the top of the windshield to reduce light and heat from the roof - not for the front when parked. For that application, a 3rd party company makes sunscreens that block out 100% of the light and UV for the front, top, FWD tops, side windows, etc. They can be purchased as a set or individually. Two options are available: silver or gold mylar(?) film on the exterior.
Here's photos of the new sunshade my neighbor received today with her factory delivery center X 90D:
Model X Sunshade!

Tesla sunshade fits nice and is easy to take up/down, and I welcome not blocking 100%. I leave mine in unless I get to the mountains or somewhere we wanna be looking up and around.
