Hope it works - think Porsche missed a trip by not having an electric shade like the Audi.
It's available now via shade mode on variable light control pano glass.

Thing is the variable light control pano glass roof doesn't offer real quality shade, it just turns the glass from transparent to opaque diffused light. If the liquid crystals actually blocked out the light more fully as well as made the glass opaque that would be awesome

Agreed - what i meant was there is no proper soft electric shade in front of the glass. I know about the variable light control but to be honest it’s expensive and not that much of an issue in the UK.

If I lived somewhere that was constantly overcast and seeing the sun was a special treat then I wouldn't have as much an issue, but living in this part of California it's the opposite issue and we get un ending glaring sun like 90% of the year. The residents here who lovebakint in the sun and getting skin cancer, it's great for them. But many of us don't feel the same way.

I don't have excessive heat issues with Taycan glass roof here in sunny hot S. Florida. My 2 Tesla model 3: different story. I could feel the heat on my head all the time.

Different human beings have differing tolerances to sunlight and glare, it's weird but unfortunate truth.

Bumping the thread to see if anyone recently got the Groovy Shade?
I ordered the last one per salesperson there.
I am betting big on this one as VLC was a non-starter for me.
At a total cost of $210 this is not a big deal to use it or lose it.
Still do not have the car but anticipating this would be similar to Cayenne OEM rear window removable shades that are supreme quality. I did not want to get the automatic kind to disrupt the door leather upper portion for the look.

Best sun/shield from OEM. Saved me from buying a model S.

Please clarify, you got the Groovy or Porsche sells the OEM rear window.

There's also smart tint that can be installed, similar to Porsche's option.

I wonder what is the smart tint? My PPF shop only does XPEL.
