Maybe some can give me some advice as to panoramic roof or not. What’s the deal with the hot hot days and the inside of the car? Some say it stays cool some days the inside is extremely hot..

I haven’t had a problem with it. You can (1) either precool the car or (2) make sure the a/c is on auto and it does a decent job cooling the back. We love our Mach-e.

There will be some heat built up when it sits in the sun all day but the AC cools it down quickly! We had a Pano Roof in our CMax that had a power sunshade but rarely used it.

I’ve had mine just over 2 months and absolutely love it - it is plainly super fun to drive. The tech isn’t perfect but seriously I’m not buying it as device - I’m into the driving and the styling. Good luck!

I think you get more heat coming in from the front side windows than from the roof. I drove across the Mojave desert in 120 degree heat. My head didn't feel the sun but my arms did when the sun was coming in at an angle. I can't wait to get those tinted. But the car stayed cool the whole day.

Not really at all; they did a good job with the coatings. As @Mach-E VLOG said, the sun from the side windows is worse. I actually got the deflectors that go on the top of the windows so I can leave my windows open a crack to let some of the heat out.

Not in NJ. You're not allowed to add any tinting to the windshield or front side windows.

We parked the MME on a shade-less street in Tucson 115F heat while we had lunch in a restaurant. Yes, it got hot inside the car. But frankly who's to say if the roof had any effect on HOW hot? It would have been hot anyway. As others have said, the A/C cooled it right down in no time.

Doesn’t appear to be stopping folks, I see more and more every day in NJ. I even was surprised to see completely blackout windows the other day and it wasn’t even a police car.

I was concerned about the glass roof but it isn’t an issue. The tinting is quite something in how it absorbs the heat. The glass itself can get stovetop hot to the touch - that includes the inside, so beware little fingers - but it doesn’t significantly heat the car, especially if you crack your windows to let some air circulate. Also, the AC is surprisingly excellent for an EV and cools the cabin quickly.

The thermal coating is excellent, I wholly agree with what others have said on this. I have a 2006 Mustang as well, that vehicle gets much hotter on the inside (likely because of the large rear window and huge side windows) - both have the light interiors.
