I love the glass roof without cross-beams on the Model 3, allowing more headroom and great upper view. I currently have the Pano-roof on my MS but have found I nearly never open the roof (like I did in my old ICE) because I enjoy the Tesla silence too much to deal with the noise intrusion.
Now I am wishing my Pano-roof was simply a solid glass roof and therefore am looking forward to this feature on the Model 3. However, I'm sure there are many who would enjoy opening the roof of their Model 3.
Does anyone think Model 3 will have a roof that opens? I don't see how it would be possible without adding middle cross beam for the hardware.
Maybe Part 2 will "shed some light" on this subject. lol

So that would indicate that panel can move like our Pano roof. Now what I haven't figured out is where the tracks are like in our Pano roofs.
Here is the link:
The video clearly shows 2 cross members as @jordan describes.
Additionally, the missed details video from insideevs at the 3:12 mark has the Tesla rep clearly stating that the 3 will have solid and pano options- which would be this middle panel area. My guess is that Tesla will put the pano actuation in the sides (like on the S), you can kind of see those details in the chassis shots behind EM during the reveal. Glass, metal and pano options are all non structural. My guess is that the metal and pano options will allow roof rack mounting.
I totally understand why you would think that. I just hope you're wrong. I'd like to get the all-glass roof, but still have the option of a roof rack. Maybe the tow hitch option is a better way to go anyways. Then again a pano roof that could open would be cool....
