How common is ghosting?

I would suggest you park your X and the loaner facing each other but some distance apart, then ask your service advisor to seat in each - if he would still tell you that it's "within specs" then you try with another service advisor.
I was afraid of this. Perhaps I'll just wait until I get a chip in windshield then.
Just had my windshield replaced because of a crack from a rock hit. I'd tried to get Tesla to replace the windshield because of ghosting and even worse distortion directly in my line of sight with no luck. A week later, a rock broke it. Parts and labor was $1,187.00 before tax. Unfortunately, NC isn't a $0 deductible for glass state, so I paid my $500 deductible.
Original windshield was 1034385-01-H, replacement was 1105964-00-B. No ghosting at all on new windshield and none of the visual defects that annoyed me with the original.
I received a 4995 mile - odometer Model X - 5 seater loaner for a few days, when my S was in the service department. Windshield was a 1034385-01-H and the night ghosting was horrible. The secondary ghosting wasn't so bad,but that tertiary image was just unnerving, when driving non a 6 lane divide highway (narrow esplanade),with several oposing cars on the opposite side approaching the subject. A sea of dancing and jogging lights, with what looked at times like a series of off road vehicles, with the lights atop the upper crossmember.

Not sure if the AP1 fixed part number made it to this thread too, so a shameless self-plug:
Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

Yeah, it was much cheaper than I expected. Just a little over half what my X6M windshield cost. No HUD in the a Model X reduces the cost considerably.
Or (c) Drive a winter on Norwegian highways and a rock will at some point smash your window. Get a new windshield on insurance for $300.

I got denied a replacement because they said the ghosting was within specs
I see the ghosting of headlights above the actual headlights..... but what can I do, right?

Any recommmendations? I would think they have it in record that I’m consistentjly bringing up the issue. Thanks in advanced for the help!
I was charging at West Palm Beach service center today. I asked three technicians about the ghosting windshield. To my surprise, all three claimed that they had never heard about the complaint. I can't believe it given it seems to be a pretty busy service center.
I got a new 1105964-00-B yesterday. I haven't had a chance to drive very far and check it out, but ghosting seems to be much improved.
In dusk lighting, I could just make out some slight ghosting when concentrating really hard. I would say the ghosting is reduced by something like 90%, and was quite acceptable. I'll try it out a bit more when it's dark, but I don't expect my conclusion to change.

Let's get this discussion back up and running. I read this entire thread. Took delivery of my X75D in August 2016.
My windshield is 1066747 01-B and has terrible ghosting. It is an AP1. So when I read that some people thought this batch was the solution, I was like....uh...no.
Is it true that the "known" fix of replacing with the 1105964-00-B part will not work for AP1 cars? Nobody has really confirmed this.
Has anybody with an AP1 car that has ghosting gotten a replacement windshield that solved the ghosting issue? And if so, what part number worked for you?

The "B" windshield has a much more fun effect than ghosting. Spotlights shine from headlights at certain angles. It's either straight up into the sky or horizontal across the windshield. Hard to get the right angle, but happens with certain hues of light at the right height in the windshield. No ghosting though, so I supthats an improvement.
