"Why would Tesla design and manufacture an entirely new headliner to cover up the glass roof that it could have simply removed? The new part uses more material than it already had, and it frankly sounds like it could be more expensive, not cheaper, unless Tesla has made it cost less somehow. Furthermore, a glass roof is more expensive than a simple metal roof or one"
"made out of fiberglass (which is what some rumors suggested it was going to be). You can see the new roofliner 27 seconds into this promo video. As you would expect, it only makes the car look cheaper from the inside, while from the outside it still has the same glass roof through which you presumably now see the back side of the newly added sound-insulating material."
The Model Y Standard retains the same full-length glass roof used on the Model Y Premium but adds a newly designed headliner that fully covers the glazing and blocks the interior view. The covered glass appears to add material and complexity rather than remove the expensive glass, raising questions about cost, manufacturing choices, and design rationale. The cheaper Model 3 Standard keeps its glass roof visible, creating a surprising product difference between models. Video footage and publications show the interior looks cheaper while the exterior continues to display a glass roof, revealing the added insulation backing.
