I’ve owned three cars with glass roofs and I’ve appreciated it zero times. They’re dumb and they’re hot/cold, and they’re noisy. Give us back real roofs.

@snazzyq We’ve got one on my wife’s Mach-E. I rarely notice now that you mention it. I suspect the kids might like it, once they’re car seats are forward facing 🤔

I wanted the panoramic roof on my Lightning, but it wasn’t available in my trim level 🤷🏻‍♂️

@snazzyq 100% agreed here! They seem to only please the kids though 🤷🏼‍♂️

@snazzyq cannot agree. I love the light entering the car and the open space feeling

@Nenewapte And the sound of the open road.

@snazzyq can you please tell me the 3 cars you had?

@Nenewapte I lied. 4. Tesla Model 3. Tesla Model Y. Genesis GV80. Rivian R1T.

@snazzyq @Nenewapte the sound of the open road is something I rarely hear when there are kids in the car. :)

@snazzyq big same. A sun roof is fine but these all glass roofs are awful.

@snazzyq this! I do not even like sun roofs
Show threaddonkeyFeb 25, 2023
@snazzyq They do look cool but I suspect I’d prefer a sunroof in the end. Or a folding hard top convertible so you can just do both properly. None of this half way stuff.

@snazzyq I have one on the id.4 and I love it. It’s the first car I’ve had with a pano roof and I never want to go back. Different strokes I suppose.

@snazzyq they are a liability

@snazzyq I have a sunroof in my car that I almost never open the shade to. I much rather have a soild roof.

@snazzyq They also add a lot to both the weight and I suspect must be a reason for higher insurance premiums.

@snazzyq love the glass roof in my ID.4 and loved it in my model 3. I think what you mean to ask for is options, since your opinion is not the consensus.

@snazzyq try a soft top wrangler for comparison on the noise front 😂

@snazzyq you like those slick tops.

@snazzyq Our Escape Plug In has a glass roof and a power shade. Thought we’d appreciate the glass roof. We live in FL. Shade is nearly always closed.

@snazzyq to each their own I suppose. I love it
Show threadkurtshFeb 26, 2023
@snazzyq Nope. Love our sunroofs. Sucker is open 3 out of 5 days I drive. Helps that I drive a Pacific Coast Highway & along the Santa Monica/Malibu coast in 72F weather but hey, life is beautiful. Only thing better is my other car which is a convertible.

@snazzyq maybe you bought the wrong cars :)

@snazzyq My current daily driver is a 2009 Smart 451 and it has the thinnest glass roof in the world. It's like a piece of paper. Really, every time I get in the car I think about it skinning me alive if it shatters 😬
