Did anyone's Tinted windshield of Glass Roof shatter after some time on a hot day or leaving it out in the sun?

I noticed that my previous cars with tinted Paranoramic Moon-Roof and Moonroof both get Atrociously hot to the point you would not want to touch them. They also keep a Hot Air bubble area that is signifcant different from the rest of the car's temperature with the AC

The Panoramic Moon-roof on actually shattered and that's with 3M Crystaline tint.

I am concerned if this problem will occur if I tint the Glass-Canopy or just go with the Lucid Shades?

Does The top of your Tinted Lucid's Glass Canopy stay hot / have a hot bubble with the Tint?
 
Yikes! I would hope that shattering would be a very rare failure. My understanding is that tempered safety glass breaks into small cubes because it's deliberately manufactured with a lot of pent up stress in the glass. Sometimes the manufacturing process puts a bit too much stress in, and the glass shatters unexpectedly. I once had a panel of my glass shower enclosure at home spontaneously shower while no one was in the house, and without any sort of earthquake being registered by the USGS. That occurred a couple of years after the glass was installed. My guess is that you experienced a similar manufacturing defect, and not that the moon roof was't properly engineered for being out in the hot sun.
