Over the past 6 years, I've had many vehicles with large panoramic roofs: Subaru Outback, Audi e-tron, Ford Edge ST, VW ID.4, Ford Mach-E, Rivian R1T and now Tesla Model Y. I rarely see posts about shops advertising this phenomena to customers, because business-is-business, unfortunately. I, personally, can't stand it, and found it to be a visibility limitation. Some can live with the low-angle haze, or may count it as a compromise for needing the MOST IR rejection product, due to their climate/locale. I've seen this exist on these films: Llumar NXT (still in production), FormulaOne Stratos, and SunTek Evolve. The haziness is exhibited due to the adhesive layer between the layers of window film during production. This is caused by the top-end films being a double-layer product - the film manufacturer layers two ceramic films together, to create a single bonded film for superior heat rejection. If you've ever had a high-performance window film installed and noticed a hazy appearance from the inside-looking-out, in sunny conditions, you've experienced low angle haze. HIGH PERFORMANCE CERAMIC WINDOW FILM - LOW ANGLE HAZE I prefer 50% for the additional heat rejection, as the windshield is a huge entry point for IR energy. I've used both 80% and 50% for windshields and I've never had a vision issue at night with a 50% film, even in the darkest areas. It creates a fantastic heat rejecting envelope, while maintaining nighttime vision and clarity and aesthetics, which is a huge requirement for me. I follow this "heat rejection recommendation" for all of my vehicles.
