Model S Panoramic Sunroof: Gone

[tinm]

I'd heard rumors that if you called Tesla Inside Sales it was still possible to order a Model S with a pano sunroof, a feature that's been gone from the design studio on the website for quite a while.

Well out of curiosity I called Tesla and they told me nope, sunroof is gone, and the ability to secretly order it over the phone is no longer available.

That's a huge bummer. I love my 2013 Model S sunroof. I can't imagine buying a new Tesla without one. And right now, there is no new Tesla that offers one. I guess it will be a while before I buy a new Tesla.

I asked at a Tesla store yesterday, just for giggles. And they confirmed the same.

Even though I don't know the take rate and would not have ordered it myself (I'm too cheap and don't use it), I have a hard time imagining Tesla to permanently remove this feature for a car in that class. It may well re-appear in much improved form when the refreshed Model S enters the market.

At the same time, if you look at the pictures at lucidmotors.com, it seems there is no option to open the glass roof, either. Maybe it is a feature that customers order less and less, and the warranty risks don't make it worth offering for these manufacturers.

I was at a Tesla store today which had on the floor a 2019 Model S 100D with a panoramic roof. I asked and was told it is an "off the menu" option, but still can be ordered.

And I was told a Saturday 4/27 that the roof rack cover piece is discontinued. There’s now an insert that supposedly replaces it but I didn’t get the part number or cost.

I have asked over the last week (July 4, 2019) three different Tesla showrooms and all said the offmenu sunroof is gone

Error, design changed, my part was still available and replaced <$10

I have the pano and am afraid to use it too much because of the expense to repair when it goes "ping" and stops moving. What I enjoy is the glass / light up there... which is what the glass roof provides. I would have taken glass roof over pano if it was an option when I ordered.
