Default CF roof Heat

Okay, I have a Cloudburst Grey 23 Dynamic Package (Carbon Fiber Roof). And every window is ceramic tinted, including the windshield.

I also, have a GS 350 in black - same tine job

I also, have a 2500HD Sierra Dark blue - same tint job.

I swear my Lexus in the Grey is significantly hotter than my Dark Blue truck or my black car.

I think it is the carbon fiber roof. Maybe it allows the God Forbidden Alabama heat to soak through. I mean heat index is over 120, thanks to humidity at 80-100% all the swamp time.

Any thoughts on heat and CF Roof? Or cold for the Yankee folks?

I have a CF roof and I’m in FL. I have definitely noticed that my car feels like the fire and brimstone of Hades when getting inside. I actually touched the ceiling today and it was not that hot (unlike my Jeep ceiling that burns my hand). Anyways…

Perhaps it’s just the LC sitting so low to the ground and so much metal density, that the heat is radiating into the cabin, versus a vehicle with more clearance and airflow underneath? Just a thought

i don't think it's the cf roof. i think it's just a small space inside!
and my lc doesn't get hotter than my suv in hot florida sun.

I don't find my LC gets that hot under the FL sun either. In fact, I find that my M5 gets hotter than the LC - most likely due to its underwhelming HVAC system compared to that of the LC's.

I have the '22 Inspiration coupe with the glass roof and that glass is scorching'ly hot. I was surprised at the amount of heat it holds when sitting stationary in the hot FL sun.

idk. I'm in Phoenix with a CF roof and car is always hot when I leave it outside. I don't think it makes a difference but I can't imagine a sunroof would be any better.
