Ha, and I'd pay $1-2K to only get the glass roof.

There's a solid brace between the front and back glass. Having one piece would be impractical. Offering two for that price? Probably the right solution.Great, a sunshade that covers a fraction of the total amount of glass on the top of the car?
I have a slightly different view.Correct, just demonstrating many automakers make you pay extra for things that common sense say should come standard for the price, like cargo cover in a hatchback, or rearview camera in a BMW 340i. And Tesla is no dummy or saint, they will extract the appropriate amount out of your wallet.

I see 2 benefits of covering the glass roof. One is when it's super hot. Two is if you ever want to camp out in your car.
I was thinking more for insulation than for others looking in.But people can't see in through the roof glass regardless.

Yep if you want to sleep in the car. For example lets say you go camping and decide to sleep in the car. It would be better to insulate all the glass with some kind of shade. It should make it so it's a less strain on the HVAC system.So for insulation at night when sleeping in the car? I wasn't clear earlier, but I'm specifically referring to sleeping in the car.
Couldn't you just install an opaque wrap for a fraction of that?
I don't even think it is overpriced. I bought the Tesla ones for my S and love them. They protect against excessive wind when the sunroof is open, let some light through but almost no glare. Such products have never been standard equipment in any of my cars, so I even bought tonneau covers for my Morgan +8 and a Porsche 964 convertible, among others. The price for the Model 3 screen is pretty cheap when considering the spring loading and fabric mesh is has (I'm assuming it si similar to the ones for the S). I'll buy this when the time comes and think it will be a bargain.
So I must be slow because I can't figure it out, but do we only need 1 of these? I am trying to find pictures of the glass roof and from what I remember its split into two sections, so I assumed you would need 2? Or am I mistaken? It does say "1 x front glass roof sunshade" on it not back glass.
Would purchasing two solve the problem? I am curious if it can be used on the front and read glass roof.
My thoughts exactly, and just for display purposes, you can see in the image below the section it would cover, right above the heads of the driver and passenger. That still leaves obviously the back portion which is a completely different size but will still take in a decent amount of sun and heat.
I believe it's too narrow. X is wider.Could the rear portion just be a Model X windshield in reverse? Could I use a Model X sunshade?
