For now, us touring reservation holders have the option to choose or not choose the glass canopy roof.
I suspect GT and Pure folks will eventually have that option too. It might be fun to start a Pro/Con list
Some of this is subjective, some unknown (? mark), and some will become measurable and thus objective when we can compare the same model with or without the glass.
Pro:
Looks cool looking at car from the outside
Looks cool looking outside from within...a panoramic/Lucid or air-like view
On cold days Interior stays warmer when parked outside
Possible accident avoidance because of enhanced view
Get car faster since factory now geared for glass roof installation?
Con:
Cost more, $4500.00 as of today.... maybe more to insure too?
Glare inside cabin
On hot days, interior stays warmer when parked outside
Added weight decreases mileage at least some
Cabin noisier inside?
Slightly less rigid, with compromised handling?
Seal to metal might eventually leak?
Less safe in crash?
Other thoughts???
