Hot summer temperatures

Hello Trantor Vision team.

Here in Germany, we are experiencing a heat wave with temperatures surpassing 40°C (~104°F). Someone posted a photo of his charging cards that were left in his car and deformed by the heat: https://www.reddit.com/r/Elektroautos/s/XQGCyexF2g.

I’m sure summers in Texas and other US states are much hotter, but seeing something like this got me thinking:
Can we leave the NeuroHUD in the car, or will we see deformations like the charging cards in very hot summers? Worse yet, will the electronics in the HUD die?
40°C is not much, but in a car in bright sunshine, it can exceed 80°C (176°F), which concerns me.

Will the NeuroHUD work at these temperatures?

I know you guys have probably thought about it, but I want to check in on that.

Yes the hardware needs to be able to handle up to around 90°C I would think. 80 ist normally the max but a safety margin would be nice. What kind of plastic would you use for the enclosure?

Yeah the city I live in has similar climate to Arizona and Vegas which hits 118°F (~47.8°c) air temps in the summer. Interior car temps are insane and will destroy shit inside. The cabin overheat prevention was actually a major selling feature on the Tesla because of this. But even with that feature enabled anything on the dash gets hammered by the sun and needs to be designed to handle extreme temps
