THIS IS BY NO MEANS A TESLA ISSUE!
Hi Folks!
Winter Season here in Colorado and we got the DREADED windshield chip! 4k miles on it.
No matter what we do each winter it happens. This one was something I didn't want to happen but, as always, it does in the winter! It happens to our other vehicles but it is something we deal with each and every year unfortunately.
So when my wife was on the way to work on the highway this morning.....BANG! Yup it happened. Something hit the hood with PPF, then the windshield. PPF damaged but apparently not the hood paint!
Not a big deal and thankfully it wasn't a fracture/spiderweb but about the size of pea. However, it is deep. Kind of like a BB gun hit if that makes sense.
What I do want to say is that chips like these NEED to be fixed as soon as possible...ESPECIALLY in cold climates!
I have been through this over several decades and want to pass on some info. GET THIS FIXED ASAP!
We will be having snow, again, and sub zero Fahrenheit temps starting tomorrow night.
Do yourselves a favor and get a chip fixed as soon as you can! You never know if the fluids you toss onto the windshield (along with debris/chemicals from the road) get into the minor imperfections from that rock/screw/bolt/cel phone/etc that hit your windshield may have caused!
Thankfully we have a trusted glass person living close to us and will fix it tomorrow before the snow and sub-zero temps hit!
The Questions arise each year is it better to call insurance or do it out of pocket?
That is up to you to figure out. Either way, someone is paying for it. I would rather go with a trusted glass person than involve insurance. For $50 bucks and get it done ASAP and not involve insurance....that works for US! Less hassle for all parties involved.
Just figured I would toss that out!
