Any Tesla owners out there who've bought a solar shade for the glass roof to try and reduce the solar heat gain during the summer?
I've found this on the Tesla store but it's pretty spendy for what it is. Any decent knock-off alternatives that might be cheaper but still fit and do the same thing?

Re: Solar gain with glass roofs
Not bought em, just looked, they are all simple clip held, no need for pant's down spank me prices...
When parked at home (not perfect) we have stuck large cheap windscreen foils over the most exposed side of the car, most of the roof & sidse covered that way, stitching in place to utilise the hangar hooks inside for quick set up, back trapped in the boot.
The claims for chinese models cooling ability are typical BS based on already having got through the glass, I can only say that "partially shaded externally" we dropped 4 degrees of direct heat whilst venting the car.
Make of that what you will.
I need to measure up a frunk based fold out reflective tip to tail set up with semi rigid thin sections that allows for the useless cameras & crap sensors & hooks without obscuring pillars etc (because all the covers I have seen are pricey and mostly shonky as hell for camera & sensor placement so to my minds eye a stowed under the bonnet (clipped into the underside, & fold out sections might have possibilities) ..ala portable solar.
