@EV-lutioin, I am so sorry to hear about the new windshield.
Basically, from what we have heard on this forum, almost 100% of the windshields have the ghosting effects, and a smaller number have it at such higher levels that are just unsafe (personal experience). Until the issue is resolved at the manufacturing level, if you requests a new windshield there are only 2 outcomes: if you are lucky, your new windshield will have the same ghosting effect as your original windshield. However, if unlucky, you may get a defective one. The decision is a simple one for the time being, is it annoying or does it interfere with you ability to drive safely?
In my case there was no hesitation, it was unsafe. Not only there was no risk, on the contrary, odds were in my favor. My new windshield has the same level of ghosting that others have reported as annoying. Took many calls and face to face discussion with the local SC supervisor and manager. I also was very satisfied with the level of service they personally provided.
As for actual ghost free windshields, I expect the redesign- market lifecycle to take up to 6 months (or longer), so I wouldn't expect any improved windshields to be available before Oct (a few of us reported defective ones in early April). Obviously, the assumptions are, Tesla 1)- would work out where the prosses needed fixing and 2)- how to detect a defective windshield at the manufacturing site or at the factory, or during their final QC process on site.
