Its like a covered cooking pot. Can’t imagine how hot it would be in there
Did they have tempered glass back then?
Anybody have any stats on how many people were decapitated by these before we stopped making them?
Reminds me of the AMC Pacer my family had. Everyone compared it to a fish bowl
Rode in a car with a full tinted glass roof once. Everybody’s brains were boiling.
Looking at that picture, all I see is sunburn, heatstroke, and headache.
Pretty sure you can’t get a sunburn through glass. Cancer, yes, but not a sunburn.

Funny you should mention that. The dapper gentleman in the front passenger seat was my grandfather. Back in the 40s, buying a new car was a very big deal, so he brought his friend from work and each of their mistresses. My grandmother didn’t find out about her until about a year later after all four of them had developed melanoma and naw I’m just fuckin’ with ya I dunno who they are.
Your link disagrees with you. Hoping nobody pays attention? Hoping for up votes?
False fact post, bad faith actor, or llm. All 3?
From your link: “You can still get burned with long enough exposure.”
Lazy me, best I can find is with typical automotive glass a sunburn starts in several hours versus about 15 minutes with no sunscreen.
So for the most part no. But it’s possible.
Some, but not all glass has a coating that blocks ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths. The technology was introduced in the 1980’s.
Depends on the glass. Normal glass has zero UV protection. In cars the front window usually has it, while the side windows don’t. Although I read that years ago, no idea what the current status is.
It’s very tinted. No worries about the sun. I suppose there must still be at least some greenhouse effect but from living in the Northeast, I’ve never noticed any heat from the sun through the roof.
Compared to my Subaru’s sun roof, which has dark tinting but lets in a lot of heat, the Tesla glass roof tinting is much darker and doesn’t
It may also help the perception of heat that I usually have cabin overheat protection turned on. After my car has been parked out in the hot sun, even if I forget to turn on climate control ahead of time, the cabin is never over 100° when I get in, and cools quickly
