Rock flew up today and put a 15" crack across my windshield. Called insurance and they will cover the whole thing. I told them I wanted Tesla to do it because with the autopilot (appears they will need to re-calibrate it anyway), a camera, rain sensors, etc., I'm not sure I trust someone else. Insurance tried calling the Tesla SC near me to give them the work order and agree on a price, but they were closed.
They told me that I can go myself and they emailed the Tesla SC the claim #, etc. but the price needs to be what Safelite states is "reasonable and customary". That price is $759.09, but reading the forums, most folks say this repair runs $900-$1,100. I will have to pay out of pocket for anything above the $759.09.
Does anybody have any experiences with replacing windshields on these cars? Anybody use Safelite? Did they know what they were doing? Did you still have to go then to Tesla to get EAP re-calibrated? Any other windshield replacement outfits in Southern California that do a good job with Teslas? I obviously want the job done right, but I also don't want to get it done outside of Tesla only to have to go to them to get things re-calibrated, etc. afterward Also don't want to have to pay anything myself. Any help and advice is appreciated. Thanks.
