So after just getting the model 3 back from the SC on Wednesday after they had it three days to replace a faulty charge door, now our windshield has cracked all the way across the driver side. It had a rock chip which was filled by safelite about 8-9 months ago and I think the extreme heat of 116 degrees in vegas this week caused it to crack across. A few questions:
1) Tesla states on the app they can get it in Tuesday morning for the windshield.....but last time we dropped our car off Monday and they didn't touch it until Wednesday. Do the service centers have special technicians that can get this done on time? We leave on a trip Saturday next week and need it fixed by then.
2) we made an appt as of right now with safelite as we've seen on here that they have the same tesla glass. They quoted us $1060 with tax which I believe is $600 less than what I've seen tesla is charging. Will the car recalibrate itself or do we then need to take it to tesla? Is there a special setting for that in the menu? (And just in time for our trip the following day )
We are now also contemplating maybe trading it in for a new model 3 or y just to avoid further issues as they usually come in threes.....
Any experiences with windshield replacements for SC's or safelite? Thanks for the input!
