Cyber truck, Large windshield, Large amount of heat from Sun into cabin

[Ridgeline]

I have concern that the extra large, nearly horizontal windshield will let in too much heat in these hot 100 degrF heat summer days. Anyone else concerned about this

Just like with my Model 3 and my Sprinter RV, just remember to point the tail of the vehicle towards the sun when parking

The heat rejection layer on the windshield of my Model X does a very good job where it's applied. It's only where the headliner would traditionally go, and I usually only notice radiant sun from the side windows since I'm not often driving into the setting/rising sun. It doesn't seem like the Model 3 has the same heat rejection, as I'm seeing lots of posts commenting about it being only privacy and asking for recommendations on heat rejection tint. For cost savings, I could see the Cybertruck going this route too, so you might want to start looking into heat rejection film.

No concerns. A/C is great in my MY so assume same for CT.

Funny, when we lived in Vegas our rule was just the opposite — point directly into the sun because our reflective silver solar shade did a better job of keeping out the radiant heat than the rear window did.

A little, yes.
I live in NE, so my level of concern is way lower than yours.
Either way, there is nothing we can do about it.
Tesla is obsessed with glass roofs, for whatever reason. If you truly want a metal roof for proper sound and heat insulation, look into Rivian or Lucid.

Get it tinted.
I used to be anti windshield tinting... but gotta say, on the Model X, it's a night and day difference.
