RIP Panoramic Roof... :(

[jeffro01]

Not sure why Tesla would do this to the Model S but... Loved this in my Model S... Such is life...

It's been an option. I'm sure they know how many they sold.

My friend loves his all glass roof. More glass space than the pano roof.

I like my pano sunroof, but honestly, I don't open it often.

Yet another reason to keep our car rather than trade it for a new 100D.

I love my 2015 more and more: pano roof, yacht floor, huge frunk, piano black interior - all gone now. I'll stay with my split screen v8.1 with 3-minute nag interval as long as I can, too.

And here I was holding out for a model 3 pano roof... use mine almost daily

More information here... https://electrek.co/2018/11/10/tesla-model-s-model-x-option-price-changes/

• Rear-facing Child seats are gone: Tesla will instead recommend buyers with large families to get a Model X
• 21″ Black Arachnid Wheels are not in the config anymore. They will be an aftermarket product only.
• Panoramic Sunroof is gone. Like Model 3, only the glass roof is now available.
• 72 amp onboard charger: now only available in single phase markets. Other markets will only have the 48 amp charger.
• Carbon fiber spoiler has been made standard on all the Model S P100D

I am pretty sure Model S is ready for some sort of major refresh in early 2019. Pretty much all features (besides seat color option) are currently standard with the price.

I got Pano, but I recently took a loaner with full glass roof, and if I had a choice, I’d take an all glass roof.

I’rarely open my sunroof anyways and all glass roof looks better and is probably less likely to leak air or water, break or need maintenance than a moving roof.

Would be nice to give the customer the choice though

Looks like carbon fiber trim is gone too.

Maybe as parts get used up in the assembly line, they are being removed as options?

Doesn’t bode well for the availability or replacement parts but it has been well established Tesla doesn’t care about replacement parts availability. Sales über alles.

P models still have carbon.

At that price point, they should be giving the customer the choice.

Tesla has temporarily removed options before - so it's possible the option will come back.

It was one of the differentiators between the S and the 3/X - a feature we included in our 2012 S P85 and 2017 S 100D.

If enough people ask for it - and competitors with the new long range EVs also offer it - it's possible it will come back. I'd probably like to have the option when we replace our 2017 S 100D...

Who cares about pano roof. But carbon trim and 11kW charger instead of 16.5kW? There are EVs coming with 22kW onboard chargers. Does Tesla really need give me even more reasons to go with the oncoming competition?

I got the gen. 1 panorama roof in order to get the satellite radio (let's not talk about that). As a benefit it offers more headroom and brings light into the cabin. As a drawback it leaked, it makes all kinds of noises, wind, clanking, knocking, it lets road noise in, and it lets cold air in that is very unpleasant to my sinuses. Countless trips to service have been mostly futile after replacing the frame and glass, and pouring in sealants and making adjustments. I do not open the roof, even to vent as it tends to make the issues worse.

All that said (yes, I feel better now, thanks) the solution should have been solving the issues and keeping the pano roof as an option. A new Model S coming out eventually does not preclude the desire for a working pano roof.

I love my pano sunroof on my Model S but I don’t open it as often but nice to know I can open on a nice Miami day , it will probably come back when stable with production

 

[CarlK]

One benefit of pano roof over solid roof was the added head room. That is not a factor now. That said I love it that I could open it on a nice day.

To answer your first rhetorical question, I care. When I told my wife just now, she said "I guess we'll have to buy used then."
To answer the second, it does kind of seem like they're almost intentionally driving on-the-fence customers away.

 

[Maximilien]

I definitely love the panoramic sunroof. It is not like convertible car but very close to it when you open it 100%.

For weird reason, when I have a headache, I always open it and has therapeutic effect on me. Works 80%+ of times.

At least for now, there appears to be a good supply of new inventory with the sunroof. Once word gets out they may not last long.

11 kW charger is just pathetic. Why nerf that even when waiting for this mysterious 2019 refresh?
