We have our first look at what the electrochromic roof looks like turning from transparent to opaque!

Are they still doing these? Or did they pull it from final production?

Well, then I hope they added a mechanical sunshade. Or mesh, or tint, or something. You can't just have the sun beating down on your passengers with a clear glass. Most will be on their mobile devices for longer trips. The bright sun is not screen friendly.

Agreed. Every JLR SUV has a full glass roof with an electric shade that retracts seamlessly. Living in Texas, the sun gets hot on your head at times but the glare above the rim of your sunglasses is what makes it unbearable

Nope. No sunshade. And no option for a metal roof. And no removable glass. Full exposed glass is the only option for the time being. They’ve said they’ll offer removable panels at a later date, but have stopped talking about electrochromatic altogether. There will likely be aftermarket options for a pop on sunshade. Hopefully they will consider that and put some mount hooks that one could easily connect to.
