August 2025 CC: Joseph M. Harary Well, I don't know if you remember, but even the CEO of Ford got on CNBC and said that the SPD SmartGlass roof was definitely going to be in the Continental and then it wasn't. So I don't want to go into too much details, but it didn't have anything to do with us or the supply chain. I think it had more to do with the car itself and you don't see the Continental on the road anymore. But we do have relationships with Ford. There's some projects going on there. And also, I may say that Gauzy has publicly stated that they have good relations with Ford and projects going on. So I think it's just these things have to percolate into cars on the road. Art Brady You think that will happen in the next 12 to 18 months? Joseph M. Harary I don't want to put a time frame. It could happen sooner. It could take longer. I would have thought when they announced it -- when the CEO announced that we were going to be in the car that it would have happened in the next week, but it didn't and this was their CEO not me.

<<Part of the Panoramic Vista Roof®: The electrochromic feature is integrated into the larger Panoramic Vista Roof®, which also includes a power sunshade for added control.>> Why would a roof with SPD need a power sunshade? That lessens head room, and adds more weight to the car. Sounds to me like it's PDLC. But I guess we'll see when it comes out.

Don't hold your breath. I phoned a friend who works at Ford's Product Development Center; he told me that the car is already out but NO smart glass as far as he knows. He will check next week to make sure. I also asked GROK to find anything related to this, here is its answer: The 2026 Lincoln Navigator features a standard panoramic glass sunroof, specifically described as an "Express Open/Close Sliding And Tilting Glass Panoramic Vista Roof" covering the first and second rows, with a power sunshade. caranddriver.com This is consistent across trims like the Reserve 4x4, based on detailed specifications from automotive review sources.However,I could not find confirmed evidence of a "smart glass" sunroof (e.g., with electrochromic or adjustable tinting capabilities) for this model. One dealership blog post from July 2025 speculates about the introduction of a "Smart Glass Sunroof" with adjustable tinting as part of the 2026 refresh, but it explicitly frames this as an anticipated feature based on early reports, not an official announcement. markfickenlincoln.com No official Lincoln sources, recent X posts, or other reputable outlets (like Car and Driver) mention or confirm smart glass technology for the 2026 Navigator's sunroof. If this is a rumored upgrade, it may not have been finalized or announced as of October 2025.
