Anyone else with glass defect?

@Jokester46 You should contact your service center and tell them about it. My pano roof developed stress cracks that are now about 2 1/2 feet long. Tesla had me go to the service center. The tech looked at it and told me that it's covered by warranty. I have no idea how long until the part will be delivered, but at least it will be covered by Tesla.
BTW.. I think there may be a process problem with how much adhesive is being used. I've seen other owners say that they have had the same issue as me. This leads me to believe that it's a factory assembly issue rather than a glass part issue.

Hope everything goes well with your car. I’m bringing mine in on Monday with a crack pano roof. Luckily my tint guy is willing reapply my nano ceramic tint for free.
I took delivery of my Model 3 on Friday... it's an awesome car and I absolutely love it!
I noticed the next day after I drove it home (~3 hours from the service center) that I also have quite a bit of distortion in my rear window, mostly in the lower center part. Mobile service is coming out at some point to fix a dent in one of my panels, so I'm going to ask them to take a look at the window.
Has anyone had their rear glass replaced and had the distortion fixed? From what jasonmason was saying, it sounds like maybe I should just ask them to document the problem and add it to my "due bill."

I too have noticed rear window distortion seemingly related to the defrost wires. I will mention it to the service center if I have a reason to go to one.... Otherwise no other issues to mention. Can we call Tesla and get the issue on record in the event that you don't go in for a long time? It's a little bothersome but not killing me.
I have distortion in my rear window as well due to the defroster element lines. I took it in and they replaced the rear glass for me but the new glass only slightly improved the distortion. I went back to the service center and had one of the techs come out and look at it. He called me a few days later saying that my window has the same amount of distortion as the other Model 3's he compared it to. So he now opened an engineering inquiry for my issue. It's been a few weeks and I haven't heard anything back on that.
I've been waiting to get all my windows tinted until I'm happy with the rear glass but now I'm kinda stuck. I'm not too happy about the distortion but I guess I'll have to live with it for now. It's not overly noticeable if there is a car close behind you, but when there's no one behind you for a ways then it's very noticeable.

Not noticed any distortion in my replacement, where as I did notice it with the previous one that cracked.
I figure I should share my experience here since I ran into this problem as well with my Model 3.
I took delivery of a Model 3 on 6/7 and after I drove off the lot I immediately noticed ripples/distortions in the front and rear windshields. There were 3 areas:
1) Front driver side - small line across the center of the windshield.
2) Front passenger side - large patch of glass ripples when driving past something.
3) Rear middle where the rectangular defroster wire is - small patch probably about 3x4 inches
I took the car for service immediately and one of the techs that drove the car said they'd replace the glass and that it'd take about a week. I was given a loaner left thinking they would actually fix it. A few days later they called me in to pick up the car and said they actually didn't replace anything and that another service technician tested the glass and found it to be within "specs". They pretty much just made a note on my account and told them they'll reach out to me when there is a solution... I guess mine is bad but not bad enough to actually replace? They made it sound like I was crazy for noticing the poor quality of their glass.
