R1S - Panoramic Roof

Is anyone able to provide additional information on the Panoramic Roof for the R1S? Will there be a shade/cover to pull and block the sun? Or is it always going to be open/exposed to the sun?

Thanks JimmyEV - I noticed they did not highlight the 'electrochromic' feature on the specs for the roof, just 'panoramic', and was looking for confirmation.

I just called the support line and asked - Electrochromic is NOT part of the Launch offer, just a tinted glass. I asked how much tint and if they could compare it to another window on the vehicle and she could not. Just said to wait for the configurator to see pics.

This is interesting and not something I considered being a thing until now. I love the idea of the Panoramic roof but I live in the South and typically travel further south more often than anywhere else. That means the sun will beat the crap out of the interior and road trips will have the sun beaming in the entire time. Parking outside?- you are coming back to an extremely hot interior with direct sunlight on everything. Want to park and wait while your car charges??? Not if you have to sit in the sun the entire time. Weird thing to think about dealing with...Anyone have an idea of how strong the tint is?

I'm good with the panoramic roof being a tinted glass. I just hope I can insert a sunshade of some kind to block out the sun on road trips or parking in direct sunlight. In my limited research I've seen a sunshade Tesla owners can pop in relatively easy (tabs of the sunshade insert in between the edges where glass meets roof) and that seems to work fine...but I've had zero experience with these. Looking forward to the test drive to get an idea of what it's like.
