Best roof/windshield shade?

[jsanford]

Today Eloise went to work. I didn’t park in the shade, and a couple of hours before leaving, checked the app to find it was 147 degrees in there.

Anyone recommend a sun shade that helps at all for long time parking? I cooled her off with the A/C before heading home (took about 10 minutes, perhaps less).

What software version are you on? Cabin overheat protection is imminent.

This is what I got for the windshield and it works great!: https://evtuningsolutions.com/products/tesla-model-3-ultimate-reflector

I also have this roof shade that I bought from Tesla but I've never used it since the factory tint works great as is.

Definitely agree with the EV Tuning Solutions windshield shade. Perfect fit, and it folds neatly into its own carrying case.

@Jartinez77, where do you put it when not in use? I'm used to using the circular shades that fold up and slide between the seat and center console.

It fits in the wedge between the seat and the console

Have you had any issues with scratching or scuffing the dashboard as you install or remove that folding "Ultimate Reflector" shade?

I have one and no issues scuffing at all. I lay it on top of the center screen to fold/unfold it and that works well. I also have the Tesla roof shade but by far the best heat protection was doing the windshield in 3M Crystalline. Most days I really don't need the sunshade or roof shade and I'm in Southern AZ so there are not too many places hotter.

I agree with @3V Pilot. I've used on numerous occasions and no issues. I too rest the shade on top of the center screen as I unfold it. I also slowly and gently move the whole shade into position and toward the front edge of the windshield. Note that the whole front area below the front edge of the windshield is made of speaker grill cover material and it does give or move a little bit as you touch it so that is why I take it slow. The fit is good overall.

Note that others sell a roll up shade instead of a folding shade but my own experience with those is that they tend to curve a bit so I would have to reverse roll them to straighten them out. They do work but I like the folding type more...just personal preference.

Summer is approaching. And the heat and sun shine start becomes quite noticeable. I will be in Phoenix a bit soon too. Anyone got any recommendations besides the oem one from Tesla?

I bought a 4-piece set from Evanex - front side windows (have never used them though), and mid- and rear roof sectionsc. Reflective gold-color on one side, black on inside. Roll up. Held in place with suction cups (except windscreen).

Found the same front screen shade on Amazon for 1/2 the price.

Any glass roof sun shades recommend?
