Does Tesla's Roof Glass Block UV Rays?
2 Answers
Tesla's roof glass blocks UV rays and can effectively reduce heat. Body Materials: Tesla's body structure adopts a steel-aluminum hybrid material. High-strength steel offers advantages such as long fatigue life, high collision absorption capacity, high strength, and large elastic deformation area. Aluminum material has better metal ductility, with energy absorption capacity surpassing traditional steel, while also ensuring body vibration damping and heat dissipation performance. UV-Blocking Glass: UV-blocking glass is a type of performance glass capable of preventing (reflecting or absorbing) UV rays from passing through. If the Model 3 is equipped with UV-blocking glass, it can protect the owner from UV damage.
As a Tesla Model 3 owner, I specifically researched this issue after purchasing the car. The roof glass does indeed have UV protection functionality, which is clearly stated on Tesla's official website. It uses a special coating to block up to 99% of UV rays, protecting passengers from sunburn. After driving for over a year, including frequent long trips in summer, my skin doesn't turn red or sting when directly exposed to sunlight through the glass, and the interior shows no signs of fading. This is a thoughtful design that also helps with heat insulation, making it more energy-efficient when used with air conditioning. I recommend owners regularly check the glass cleanliness to ensure the coating's effectiveness. For extra protection, you could apply additional UV-blocking film, though the factory design is already quite reliable. Overall, the experience is comfortable and safe. Before buying, you can check the vehicle manual for details - it's a good investment.
