Does the Lightning have acoustic (laminated) glass?

[vandy1981]

Does anyone know if the Lightning has acoustic glass in the windshield, sunroof and side windows? If so, what trims have it? I haven't been able to find this answer on any of the order guides or the ICE forums.

Wind noise tends to be a lot more noticeable in EVs because they're quieter than ICE vehicles in nearly other way so acoustic glass is nice to have. It also makes the vehicle more resistant to smash and grab thefts because it's harder to break through laminated glass.

Update: the Platinum has acoustic glass on the side windows per CarBuzz but I'm especially interested in whether the Lariat gets it as well.

The F-150 windshield has carried their trademark "Soundscreen" for years - I believe it is laminated glass of sorts. I don't know what current ICE trucks have for side windows, but I expect the Lighting to be the same, I doubt it is anything different.

I do know that Ford has traditionally done a good job - my 2014 Lariat was a nice quiet ride and I've heard they continue to make improvements overall.

Haven't looked, but I would expect that the glass would at least match the ICE F-150s, by trim.

All windshields in the US are laminated safety glass. I cannot speak to the other glass.

Should all be the same, the ICE was the quietest vehicle I ever owned, I have owned a couple of Acura’s, Lexus and Infinity. It was significantly quieter than the Model 3.

The Powerboost I drove last November was quieter at speed (>50 mph) than my Model S which is still pretty decent. The Lightning should be incredibly quiet.

The real question is whether the pro gets em!

Confirmed Lariat comes with the acoustic laminated glass on the front driver and passenger windows. All windows aft of that and the sunroof are tempered.

Car and driver measured that Lightning at 1dB louder than a Mercedes S-class at highway speeds. I'm expecting it to be super quiet.

On my ‘22 Lariat passenger window:

Only 854 miles on our Lariat, but Serenity is the word I would describe it.
