Great photo Max!
I agree it looks dark like that but a slight bit brighter as the eye can adjust. The dark tint on all the windows in the 2nd and 3rd row seat area cause a dark view through the rear window. As I drive the cars are visible in the darkness, but don't expect to enjoy the view of the landscape through the rear window. Use the rear screen camera if you need a better view of traffic.
The question was asked at the Tesla Forum and someone posted a link to another photo and it's just as dark: https://www.flickr.com/photos/60130513@N07/
Did you notice one of the neatest features of the Model X Signature? The windshield air vents are covered with the grill. No reflections of plastic vents to mar the view through the huge windshield. That makes me very happy since I have enjoyed that feature for over 3 years with Model S Signature. (I have no idea if the production models will be the same.)
Makes Max's six seater the logical choice for a clearer view, however you can fold down the rear headrests as the original thread indicates: Visibility from side and rear mirrors | Forums | Tesla Motors
update: Silly me, folding down the rear seat headrests doesn't help with that 2nd row. Maybe if Tesla could make the seats fold? Now that's a good idea. :smile:

Thanks for the help! We've decided to go with the 6 seater for best visibility. We were originally US # 19,0XX so we expect to be configuring shortly.

The pictures with the view from the driving position were very helpful. This is what convinced me to go ahead and submit my order (Production 17XXX), rather than waiting for a test drive. I'm 6'8" and have avoided the S due primarily to this issue (despite fitting reasonably well in the car, the view was a bit borderline...I could probably live with it, but not happily).
