Cayenne Coupe- no sun screen for glass roof?

[ocflyer]

I would like to order a coupe- but live in sunny, Southern California. From the configurator, it appears the Cayenne Coupe does not have a retractable sun shade (like we have in our Macan 4s). I know Porsche claims UV filters reflect heat, but sunlight still comes through, and I would be quite certain parking the car in the sun would result in a very warm cabin.

Of course, an option would mitigate this problem (for $3,400- the electrochromatic sunroof), but I had this on a BMW iX and it didn't work all that well, and a rock on the highway chipping that roof resulted in a $10k repair. So I'm not keen on this expensive, half-solution. Anyone have any info on this? Thank you.

The electrochromatic roof is sadly without any practical function. It doesn’t reduce any heat or UV-radiation and is only for show. Might reduce a little glare but nothing else related to heat.

But, the positive thing is that it is nothing to worry about. We’ve had 35-40 degrees Celsius for a while and it didn’t make any difference in our Cayenne EV in comparison to our old Macan EV or any Cayenne e-hybrid we’ve driven with the sun protector. However, I’ve optioned for full thermal heat and insulated glass, so it might make a difference as well because of that.

For what it’s worth, it can be mitigated just as easily by turning on the cooling from the app before you leave, it works really fast and takes maximum 5 minutes.

I am most concerned about protecting my head and face from sunlight. People familiar with mohs might empathize (-:

And the configurator says thermal glass doesn't affect the sunroof, only the... "Windshield, front and rear side windows, rear quarter windows and rear windshield with thermally and noise insulated glass for increased comfort..."
