This is impressive since the panoramic sunroof, even at 80% open, is much larger than most sunroofs. The wind noise that occurs is what I’d expect based on my experience with other cars. You can also combine this with turning on the A/C to really maximize your pre-cooling efforts. The Visible Tesla app will allow you to open and close the sunroof to any setting you want directly from your computer. This could be useful if you’re about to leave work and want to let some heat out of the car before getting in. The Tesla mobile app gives owners the ability to vent or close the sunroof remotely, but not open it. So usually you just double tap the scroll wheel if you’re looking for a quick vent or close the vent operation. Select the sunroof setting and begin scrolling int the direction you want the panoramic roof to slide. A second press on the scroll wheel will close or open it without you needing to scroll. In addition to the controls on the large touchscreen, you can also control the sunroof through use of the right scroll wheel on your steering wheel. 100% open is ok if you’re sunbathing or parked but it makes a lot more noise than the 80% position when you’re driving. Generally you end up using only positions 1-3. There are 4 key positions for the sunroof but you can also open to any setting you want: ![]() Everyone always thinks its cool to be able to drag your finger and watch the progress while the mechanics are also taking place. As the roof opens, the picture moves along with it and shows progress. ![]() From there you can open the sunroof by dragging on the roof itself in the picture or by sliding the blue control to the desired setting. There’s a separate section of your Model S controls dedicated to the sunroof. The reality is that the sunroof is so dark and so great at blocking out light that it meets my needs (more room, some outside light, openness) as well as my wife’s needs of having no glare. This is the first car I’ve owned where we’re both happy with the sunroof. Knowing this, I expected her to have dissatisfaction with the Model S panoramic sunroof since it does not include a pullover shade, but surprisingly she has never complained about it. She dislikes the glare of the sun on her and the feeling of openness. If she gets a car with a sunroof for some reason (“loaded” ones that have everything on them) then she pulls the shade over it to pretend it doesn’t exist. If it’s for me I get the sunroof, but if it’s for her we try not to. ![]() It’s always a discussion point when I’m buying a car. Tesla claims it blocks 98% of ultraviolet light and 81% of solar heat. The Panoramic sunroof is a $2,500 option on the Model S and for me represents approximately 2.5% of my total vehicle cost.
