Hey guys, just thought I'd put a post out there to see if others noticed...when you wear polarized sunglasses the HUD is completely useless. Not sure if that is something they can address with a software fix (doubt it), but this is the only car I've driven with a HUD that completely vanishes when using polarized sun glasses! Just thought I'd share for my fellow sun glass wearers! Still a great car, just hopinhg for a fantastic deal on a GT to become available at end of year so I can pull the teigger.
 
Screw the stupid HUD...not giving up my RayBan's 😂
lol...jk I skipped the tech pkg when they separated out the power outlets. I found the windshield reflection objectionable and feel the cockpit screen is plenty high up anyhoo and don't give a darn about ambient lighting

Haven't tried it myself, but apparently some brands of polarized glasses have the polarization rotated by 90°, and then they don't block the HUD.

out of curiosity, which cars with a HUD have you driven that you found were compatible with polarized lenses?

this will unfortunately have the side effect of letting more reflective glare through, but maybe it’s a happy medium for those wanting some polarization and some HUD visibility

My Mercedes GLS 450 and Lexus 550h each have HUD that don't disappear. They do fade, but still definitely useable
 
My bmws have all disappeared. Last one was 23 iX.
Just tilt your head slightly, it helps.
I got non polarized sunglasses.
