Tesla Model Xs panoramic windshield was one of the biggest surpise feature unveiled at the production launch in September last year. In previously unveiled prototypes, the Model X was featuring a normal windshield, but the production version is equipped with a panoramic windshield extending all the way above the driver and front passenger seats.
The feature, combined with the structure of the Falcon Wing doors, makes the Model Xs passenger compartment truly unique, but some are worried about the replacement cost since the windshield is one of the most at risk part of any vehicle and rightfully so it seems

Programmable shade settings would be a cool idea, it could be linked to driver preferences like seat and steering wheel positions.
Likely tint is adjustable electronically. Search engine “SPD Smartglass”. Currently in use on top line Mercedes.
This one has a 360ci V8
AMX-GT?
