I don't think that roof contributes a ton to the total heat. I have had my interior temp up to 130+ on a few sunny days this spring but after putting a reflective screen in the front windshield with nothing extra on the pano roof the car only hit 101.

Thanks - will read it now. Did you end up putting either one on your car (regardless of the discount)? I am very interested, but $4500 is steep. Gaah!
Today the car was reading 124 interior temp with the glass shade and my high quality windshield reflective screen. It's just hot here. Car was reading an exterior temp of 102 when I got in.
Subjectively, the shade does help reduce the glare from the sun and some of the heat on the top of my head. It also shades the black seats keeping them from getting super hot. Previously the black seats were uncomfortable even through my pants. If I was wearing shorts it would be painful.

There's one one-star review saying it there are a few gaps but they are small and seem intentional to me to allow it to be put in place more easily.

I like the roof shade quite a lot, it would be annoying without it. I'm just hoping they make one for the rear glass soon.
Ya I think a windshield shade is the best was to reduce the heat in the car. The pano window tint probably blocks out most of the suns heat. I know good ceramic tint can block like 85% of the heat.
Now that we're getting well into summer, I've been able to see what it's been like with and without the shade. Without it, the top of my head starts to get uncomfortable during a longer drive with the sun overhead. With it, it's a huge difference. The shade still lets enough light through that you don't feel like you're in a regular hard-top car, but it's more comfortable. I haven't done any comparisons parked in the sun, but I already can tell it would hotter without it. I still think this should have been included as part of the PUP.
Does anyone know of a Model 3 solid shield for the sunroof? Looking for one that blocks the sun completely.
Does anyone know of any cheap aftermarket options for both windows. I know I know. Im cheap as hell but I can't see justifying $165 for these. I also live in SF and it doesn't get too hot so its not high on my priority list.
