Following the recent reveal of the Solar Roof tiles, Tesla has now revealed a new 2016 Tesla Model S Glass Roof Option. The upgrade was included in Tesla's Model S Design Studio last Thursday. Elon Musk also announced alongside the reveal, that the company has now discontinued its earlier P90D model.
Elon Musk earlier also tweeted about the new upgrade in the 2016 Tesla Model S Glass Roof Version. Development of the new glass roof has reportedly been a difficult task for the company, however, the new addition does make the interior look quite amazing.
2016 Tesla Model S Glass Roof: Is It Really Worth The Price?
The new all-glass roof and the sun roof have a price tag of $1,500 and $2,000 respectively. Revealed pictures of the new addition show a one-piece-glass on the roof just like the roof featured in the earlier Model 3 prototype, during the March 31 event.
Tesla believes that the new 2016 Tesla Model S Glass Roof will provide an open and expansive cabin feels to the passengers. While the Model S earlier featured a motorized panoramic roof option, the new glass roof is made up of a single continuous glass piece, providing an experience similar to the expansive Model X panoramic windshield.
2016 Tesla Model S Glass Roof: Improved Safety Features
During a Tesla-SolarCity related conference call, Elon Musk stated that the upcoming Model 3 will feature the same glass technology as that used in Tesla's solar roof tiles. So, it is expected that the new 2016 Tesla Model S Glass Roof will also have the same shatter-resistant glass material.
Musk also recently said that Tesla has reinforced the Model S Body for improved safety features. While it isn't likely that the Model S glass roof will have any additional defrosting features, we may still see it amongst the best Tesla Upgrades.
Tesla has not yet announced any official details about the new 2016 Tesla Model S Glass Roof, however, we can speculate that the all-glass roof could feature some kind of micro-louver to allow it to change viewing appearance based on the viewer's angles. It's also highly expected that the higher iterations of the glass roof design will be capable of solar electricity production.
Taking into consideration, what the new Glass Sun Roof may offer, the price tag is really worth Tesla's offerings. Stay Tuned To SWR For more recent releases and updates on the new 2016 Tesla Model S Glass Roof.
