Ghosting windscreen model 3
- Thread starter Willem-Jan
- Start date
I have the same problem. Especially at night with led lights. But once you notice it, you can also see it in daytime. Lights, traffic lights, matrix signs are doubled. Even hoods of cars sometimes. Hope they make new batch of windows which does not have the problem. Tesla replacing the screens is a good thing though, although no solution apparantly.
Hi Jorik, Can you please tell me the last 4 or 6 numbers from your VIN number? Tesla Duiven want's that I collect info from other model 3's. I have a friend with a M3 Perfromance who has the same problem and an other friend with M3 standard range which doesn't have this issue.
Yes, i will. The glass is this. Vin follows.

I have the same problem after having my windshield replaced, is ghosting the technical term? I have lifetime warranty on the replacement (for defects), so I could have it redone I guess.
I did not have the problem with my window in my Volvo v70. So i think it has something to do with the production of the window.
Yeah, its the cheap glass they use. What I've learned in my short time owning this car is that its not anywhere near the quality of any reputable european brand.
Can confirm. My VW Golf R was built much more carefully and with much higher standards than my Model 3.
No, with all the others cars I had I didn't had this issue. (even my 1925 Ford Model T doesn't have it ;-) It is just a cheap piece of glass.
Yes the technical term is "Ghosting" the mechanic from Tesla told me this. And when you Google it you will find more of those issues especially at older Tesla Models S and X.
Could you please send me the last 6 numbers from your VIN code, i'm in contact with the local Tesla SC for a solution.
I had problems with my wipers skipping off the glass and it turns out there was something contaminating the outside glass. I don’t know if it was clear coat overspray, fallout or something , but I polished it with orange pad on DA polisher and it solved the problem. This could be similar condition where something is on the glass causing these symptoms.

My windshield was replaced though, I don't remember my original window having this issue? Do you still want the vin? Should I call my insurance company to have it replaced again? I'm afraid the new window will have the same issue.
I wonder if it's related to the angle of the windshield? Although @Jorik said his Volvo didn't have this problem which appears to have a similar windshield angle.
Just based on reading much about photography lenses I can see how this can occur on a steeper angle like the Model 3's windshield (and basically every other car I've routinely driven).
Anyhow, I hope the best for everyone with this problem that I didn't know was a problem!
Yes please send me the VIN. I advise you to wait with ordering a new window because my experience is they all have the same problem.
