* If the glazing has any crown to it, accumulated water will be dispersed tangentially away from the center, where the 'overshoot' would occur.

That is what happens in a typical light rain like we get here in the PNW. A typical afternoon summer thunderstorm in the Southeast can be sheets of rain.
In general it is a poor design but hopefully a learning experience. Maybe Tesla has a better rain simulation machine now.
