I'm not sure the glass roof will be standard. Did Musk address that?

I'm also not sure how I feel about the Prius-esque IP. I get the rationale for it, but I'm not sold on the idea that a speed display in the corner of that screen is enough. A HUD wouldn't surprise me, though.

Overall? I'd say it meets or exceeds what I was expecting in most respects. I don't think anything I've seen is a deal breaker. We'll see how it develops.
I never heard any talk of the glass being optional. He went on about how it gives a spacious "feeling" numerous times.

This car looks to have a much higher roof profile than the mS. Outside of real estate agents, how many people actually put adults in the backseat anyway.

You mean the slidey things for the shoulder belt height? Don't all (newish) cars have those?
