The one thing you can count on with Tesla is that they will safety test the hell out of everything they do, and if the results are the best possible they will redesign. However, I don't think it will be necessary as they are adopting some things from the Model S. Here http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/08/20/tesla-model-s-crash-test/2678557/
the S & X have factory tinted glass. There have been some posts from current owners who who feel it is an acceptable amount of shade. I also watched a Model X video a while back from an Arizona owner, and they had added tint in addition to help with the AZ sun. Probably not an issue for most, but those in desert areas could do this. I believe there are also after market attachable shades you can add.

As others have mentioned. Tesla does a lot of safety tests an the like.
The probability of a roll over in most EVs is very very low. The placement of battery packs in the skateboard lowers the center of gravity and acts to anchor the car more firmly to the ground.
The somewhat equal distribution of weight by the same pack also provides these vehicles with exceptional handling.
My worry with the single pane of glass is a rock-chip on the front windshield and what would that cost be?
In the early days, Model S windshields were $2,100. Down to around $850. I don't know what a Model X windshield costs, but with that curve for the panoramic windshield, expect it to be pricey.
Now one piece of glass to cover the front and back. That looks expensive.
