Taptes Tesla Model Y Roof Sunshade BLOCKS Heat!

[@brg2290]

Question - have you experienced any problems with the electrostatic shade coming loose overnight when temperatures are cooler?

[@Digital-Dan]

The windshield and rear window also absorb energy. I've got a car umbrella on order that should protect the entire vehicle and not take too long to deploy. WIll report.

I still prefer the two piece design with the clips. I can do it myself in a few mins and have the option to remove half of it if I want to let some of the light in. Plus no washing required. 😊

[@TeslaTipsTrips]

Understandable. But wow 40 degree difference is huge!

[@ArthurRondeau-me1sb]

Good question! If it was a “styling” decision I think there should have been an option to delete it. (Like sunroofs on just about any other car on the market)

I wished you would have mentioned it ships from China. Does not stick at all. Return is very involved with no return shipping and 20% restocking fee. The size and color match is terrible. The electrostatic stickers are a mess to clean off the glass. This was $100 wasted. Customer service was notified that it didn’t stick and they responded with the original installation instructions. I don’t recommend.

[@TeslaTipsTrips]

Thanks for sharing your experience for others. Ours is still sticking just fine. I will forward your comment to my contact at Taptes. I only share products that I've used, believe in and continue to use daily, and not just for a quick, small commission, like other KZbinrs. Update: I have sent an email to Taptes, along with your comments. I have also unlisted this video to the public. A side note: they don't pay their commissions either.

I am going to pass due to the GAP

[@TeslaTipsTrips]

Fair enough. Thanks for watching

Many people don't want the glass roof at all. A hardtop with nice cloth headliner is preferred. Glass allows sunlight and IR to heat up your scalp in the summer. Why doesn't Tesla offer a metal hard top?

[@pk-76]

If I’m not mistaken, the original “$35K” version Model 3 was supposed to have a metal roof to save costs.

Warm day... 115 in Phoenix 🤣

Why not just get the electric sunshade or tint the glass with heat protection? This one seems be too troublesome needing 2 people in sync to get this thing put up.

[@TeslaTipsTrips]

I'm guessing the electric one is far more complicated. Tint helps, but not quite as effective.

[@Shaverlakecabinwildlife]

Too expensive

[@screamingiraffe]

@@TeslaTipsTrips ceramic tint dissipates up to 95% of the heat, but I read/heard that it 'might' cause the roof window to crack.. unconfirmed. cost is about $300 for the top or $600 for all of the windows on a tesla model y (excluding the Windshield). I had my old Nissan Rogue Sport done with ceramic tint and thinking of doing it to the MY.

[@TeslaTipsTrips]

I’ve got ceramic tint on the roof of my 3. It does help, but the glass still gets really hot. No cracks in 5 years. That urban legend started with lazy tint shops I think.

[@gravediggermordekai7032]

Seems like too much work. Two people needed isn’t helpful for this kind of product that you want to be able to take up and down. Thanks for the review.

[@TeslaTipsTrips]

40 degree difference is worth a little extra effort.
