Is that a slight curvature from left to right I see in the windshield?
Reminds me of the Jay Leno show when Elon complained the huge flat windshield was actually difficult to see out of.
I'm loving the greehouse roof and how the yoke steering looks.
(Though with all that glass I wonder how loud it will be inside during a heavy rain?)
