Or do you wake up at 5am in the summer? --- ### — 2024-01-16T16:03:11+0100 (Jan 16, 2024) > [montyburns1982 said:](/goto/post?id=681160) > > How do you cover the panoramic glass roof? Or do you wake up at 5am in the summer? > > Click to expand... Looks like theres an option: *Darken all windows, including the panoramic roof, with magnetic pleated blinds for pleasant dreams. The ventilation slots on the front doors provide fresh air, even when the windows are closed.* It looks quite attractive tbh, if you want a 5 seater rig that you can sleep in occasionally. I can't see them selling many Caddy Californias when it launches, but that depends on price. --- ### — 2024-01-16T16:43:31+0100 (Jan 16, 2024) Makes sense, hopefully better than the tent arrangement in the Cali SE! --- ### — 2024-01-16T16:58:07+0100 (Jan 16, 2024) Don't these have a button to make the glass opaque? Kinda like those Transitions lenses from the 90's. I know this technology is used on other vehicles coming out now. --- ### — 2024-01-16T17:03:27+0100 (Jan 16, 2024) Can’t sit up in bed either…. --- ### — 2024-01-16T18:41:05+0100 (Jan 16, 2024) > [Corradobrit said:](/goto/post?id=681177) > > Don't these have a button to make the glass opaque?

No mention of that, and I think even when opaque those windows let light through. They are presumably very pricey too - Porsche do a mad one that incrementally turns opaque from front to back with the swipe of a finger. If those ‘magnetic pleated blinds’ have the qualities of the magnetic cab blinds you get with a Cali, they’ll be flawed as a sleeping curtain too. --- ### — 2024-01-16T20:12:33+0100 (Jan 16, 2024) That’s the Beach version. --- ### — 2024-01-16T21:50:44+0100 (Jan 16, 2024) So come spring, you can look at all the bird crap on your roof from below.

At least it wouldn't damage the paintwork on the roof. --- ### — 2024-01-17T00:24:10+0100 (Jan 17, 2024) > [WelshGas said:](/goto/post?id=681271) > > At least it wouldn't damage the paintwork on the roof. > > Click to expand...

Or watch all the condensation build up and drop all over the bed lol --- ### — 2024-01-17T08:45:24+0100 (Jan 17, 2024) > [Corradobrit said:](/goto/post?id=681273) > > But it can etch the glass > > Click to expand... So you check your roof hourly in case a bird has targeted it. At least with a glass roof you can see it without getting out the steps. --- ### — 2024-01-17T08:46:11+0100 (Jan 17, 2024) > [Defender90 said:](/goto/post?id=681285) > > Or watch all the condensation build up and drop all over the bed lol > > Click to expand... Just proves you have inadequate ventilation. --- ### D — 2024-01-19T00:03:51+0100 (Jan 19, 2024) > [WelshGas said:](/goto/post?id=681291) > > Just proves you have inadequate ventilation. > > Click to expand... Mum always told me to leave the heater on --- ### — 2024-03-01T21:42:57+0100 (Mar 1, 2024) I just picked up my new Beach today and was chatting to the staff. One big problem they told me is that it is longer. Maybe not much by a google suggests 25cm? I just parked my new 6.1 back at my flats and it just fits in the parking space. ---
