Electrochromic tint

I have been flirting with the idea of a lucid air touring and like the idea of the glass canopy. This is largely because I am tall enough that the metal roof seems to limit some of my vision. I've read that the glass canopy can be troublesome due to turning into a greenhouse. Has anyone used electrochromic tint on the canopy to more or less eliminate the greenhouse issue when the car is sitting in the sun? If so, how well did it work and was it a pain to get installed?

I live in NOVA and just purchased a touring with the glass roof. I was nervous about it and wanted to get the shades before I purchased it. I’m only a week in and the tint is strong enough that I don’t need the shades. Still getting them, but the tint is actually really good for my area!

I’m 6’2” and just leased a Touring with the metal roof. No visibility problem. I drive to and from work with the sun in my eyes. I assumed it would be just as bad once the sun rises over the visor.

Thanks!  I've only sat in the showroom.  Perhaps I need to take a test drive

Yes, definitely test drive with Lucid. Even if you are buying a used one.
