I have an old MG and that is exactly what the dots mean. But I saw a picture of another windshield with more than 4 dots.Perhaps 1/4 and year. 4th quarter of 2015 would be "....15", second quarter of 2016 would be ".. 16"

I was contacted by my DS today to find out how I like my MX (I love it!) I mentioned the double vision issue and he said it was the first he had heard of it... sigh.. I sent him 5 articles about it and a link to this thread. I pasted his reply below. He mentions contacting the Rocklin SC, which I already have done and they also said they know nothing about it. Sometimes I don't think the right hand knows what the left hand is doing in the Tesla chain of communication.
Thank you for enlightening me on this issue. I’ve already begun forwarding these links to people in the company. I also contacted the service department who told me that the problem is almost certainly in the design of the windshield itself and we are currently looking at getting replacements from our supplier. I would still reach out to Rocklin service but I wanted to give you what information I can find.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance,

The thing that drives me nuts is that this seems so easily solved with software. Here's the status, here's what we now know. Push changes to all customer-facing personnel. When they show up at work, they update themselves on what's new since yesterday. Am I oversimplifying?Sometimes I don't think the right hand knows what the left hand is doing in the Tesla chain of communication.
They don't even need to write new software. Just set www.teslamotorsclub.com as their homepage, and they'll be pretty much up to date.The thing that drives me nuts is that this seems so easily solved with software.

Good code breaking! I think we are getting somewhere, now if we could get some more MX owners to post their windshield numbers, we may be able to narrow down the production batch. When you post your windshield number, please indicate whether you have double imaging or not.
I have ghosting . Birthdate 1/7/16
I also have 1/16, letter A only. I have ghosting.Ghosting exists on 1/16, letter A only
Same here on all counts.I also have 1/16, letter A only. I have ghosting.
Drove it tonight and have the ghosts...
Interesting, you have the similar numbers as someone else who reported no ghosting. When you look at the string of letters (a b c d etc.) to the right of the Tesla "T" which letter is the last letter in the string?
OK, so we now know there are "bad" windshields with some sort of manufacturing defect. If there's some imprecision in the lamination process, it would be very easy to get much worse ghosting than expected. We wouldn't expect this to be consistent from one windshield to the next off the line, since it's actually a manufacturing issue. Perhaps a random X% are sufficiently out-of-spec to cause the problem. Obviously Tesla needs to get its supplier to improve QC on their production line. :-(Tesla replaced my windshield as a goodwill gesture 10 days ago. The double /triple vision and ghosting effects did not vanish, what was noticeable was the fact that I didn't experience distraction/ headaches/ daytime glare and night time magnified scattering of the light that I had to deal with while driving the car. Also the break lights of other cars at night are not as disturbing as it used to be. Other than my personal experience, I couldn't find any tangable characteristic difference between the two windshields until an accidental discovery recently. With the original windshield the effect was at all angles and distances from the dashboard. One could put one's head on the dash and the problem persisted. With the new windshield, it stops at a foot or so above the dashboard (tint level). No ghosting of any kind occurs at that level. The new windshield is a HUGE improvement compared to the original one, it just takes a bit of getting used. I drove it last night on a two lane windy road with no problem at all. I now understand why some owners won't notice it. Again, the 'ghosting" effect is not gone, but there is very little distraction. I get why it is what others call the new "normal" and I am Ok with it.
