Model S now has glass roof option..

[professionalr]

I wonder if that roof extension will make it more likely to get rock chips or cracks. I found the Model X windshield was surprisingly affordable so maybe it will not be thousands to fix.

Will make hail damage repair easy for the roof. Drive-in movies would be nice (do they still exist?)

Surprisingly affordable eh? Exactly how much is that Model X windshield to replace or repair?

About $880.

When do we get the embedded solar cells in the glass roof option?

By my calculations it would take 81 days to charge my tesla with a roof solar cell.

About $880.

My mustang's windshield was about $350 including the horse design on it, $250 without the horse, so $880 seems expensive, I don't think there is 3 times the glass to make up the cost difference either.

The number of Model X being manufactured is a small fraction of the number of Ford Mustangs. That is a major factor in understanding why X party's like a windshield are more costly, in addition to the fact that the X windshield is one of the largest car windshields every made.

I agree that it makes sense that it is more expensive than a mustang window for various reasons, but I don't consider $880 cheap is all I'm saying.

A thread was started 3 weeks ago to discuss the new Model S glass roof option, see Model S now has glass roof option..

Ah, sorry. I did do a search but that thread did not come up. I have put in it a reference to this thread since it includes photos.

Looks great. Thanks for sharing the pic. Congrats! (I'd trade my pano roof for the all glass roof!)

Does the all glass roof extend an inch or two closer to the doors and the front windshield than the pano roof? It certainly seems that way when you don't need the mechanism for the sunroof taking up room. Have you compared the two? This is the way I would go since I have opened my sunroof maybe 4 times since I bought my car. ( plus of course100 kw battery, auto pilot 2.0, led lights, new nose,etc etc)

I had pano before as well. I used or just a few times, and was surprised I didn't use it more. The all glass sounds more air tight (obviously). It is close to edges of body. I'll take more pics.

Nice! Looking forward to ours, though we don't get as many blue skies as you.

I'll take more pics.

Eager to see your pics. Mine will arrive next month and I'm not entirely sure what to expect. Question: are there lights on the sides or anywhere for the back seats?
