Exactly!
That's why I'm looking for a second source. Remember Joe didn't see it at night.
There are stories I’ve found all over referring to the Polestar 2 as smart glass, but not in the website in those terms.

Gentex has been making electrochromatic windows for the Boeing "Dreamliner" and this article from CES 2020 mentions crossing over to panoramic glass roofs for vehicles. Perhaps our MME's may be one of their first ventures?

This sort of material has come a long way since the onset of the original transition type lenses from years ago. My personal opinion is the roof Joe saw is what was intended to be in the MME unless the testing showed problems with it. I think what you linked to is what we're likely to get.

I've been known to be wrong though.

My guess is that if we have an active, or “smart roof” if you prefer, is that it will be identical in nature to transition lenses in the sense there’ll be no control, that is the amount of sunlight determines its shade.

Just my opinion though.
