2022 M3 LR Windshield Crack

[Titek1985]

So I've heard of door windows just randomly shattering while driving or parked, has anyone heard of any issues like that with the windshield?

We just purchased our 2022 LR M3 and literally not even an hour after pulling out of the dealer parking lot, no cars around, going over a small bump my windshield just cracked from the edge, midway up on the driver side, about 10 in long....wth? Warranty?

if there are no impact points you could possibly claim warranty since you literally just got the car. Can't say I've seen many threads about stress cracked windshields here.

Got an appointment after new years.... Good thing Florida statue prevents insurance companies from applying the deductible to glass repair/replacement. Either way it looks like a free repair...at this point.

If there is no chip evident in the crack, you may be able to get it covered under warranty as a stress crack. But as mentioned, haven't heard of windshields failing from stress cracks, it seems to happen mainly on the rear window.

That's lucky, I've never lived in a place with zero deductible for glass!

Yup, just called progressive to verify, definitely made me happy! For those that are interested and who live in Florida:

This includes repair or replacements.

Yes, I’ve had two windshields replaced due to rock damage while driving. Insurance covers it 100% in Florida. My insurance rate did go up afterward, though, so I changed companies.

The coverage isn't going to be "free" so to speak. Gauranteed, insurance companies have adjusted their rates to account for the Florida code. Insurance companies will find a way to pass the cost off to the consumer somehow. I'd go the direction of warranty with Tesla before insurance first.
