How many windshields have you replaced on your Tesla?

[PMFTanx]

Going on 4 windshields on my MY in 15 months. Curious to know how everyone else is faring?

What the heck?! I have replaced 0 so I cannot vote. 50k miles on my Model 3 (now sold) 24k miles on my Model Y, and 6k miles on my Model X. The Ford Focus I had before, doing the same commute as the 3 and Y, had 1 windshield replaced in ~80k miles.

0 windshield replaced in 14 months on my MY

Once or twice seemed like bad luck, but by number 4 it got me wondering....

Came here to say the same: Why isn't ZERO (0) an option ? A poll needs to handle all possibilities. I had mine fixed once, but not replaced

Great point! I can't seem to figure out how to edit the dang thing.

Two Teslas, no windshielet’s. Definitely holding up better than the BMWs we had.

0 windshields in 3 years

 

[GWord]

0 windshields over the course of ~200,000mi driven in 11 years of combined ownership (we've been a 2 Tesla household since ~2017). I attribute to setting large following distances on open highway and immediately inspecting for and repairing chips after suspected impacts. I stash a chip repair kit in the car for this purpose.

...knock on wood

Is it possible it’s where and how you drive? Maintaining a 10’ space to another car has its negatives. 0 for me in 2 years.

I've had one broken in exactly 3 years. And when you live in an area with as prolific gravel mining as I do....that is going pretty darn good.

I suspect this plays a big part. Areas with a real winter and prolific use of road gravel come to mind.

3 Teslas over 9 years - 0 windshield replacements

(moderator note) you cant change it, but I added a "none" choice since it sounded like you wanted one.

========================================

I have replaced 1 on my model 3 (4 years ownership), and none on my wifes model Y (5 months ownership)

REMEMBER: No mudflaps = x5 the following distance, switch lanes ASAP.

Program your brain to always look at the rear wheels of any vehicle above the sedan category,
especially pickup trucks with micropenile midget liftkits, they are real windshield killers
in addition to coal rolling EV drivers whom they perceive as an existential threat, as many of these
xxxxers live off the oil and coal industry, through jobs or mineral rights leases here in Appalachia.

OK to drive with a tiny chip, but ASAP replace the windshield if it cracks, even a few inches,
because this will breach its ability to withstand impact and protect you in an accident.

2 years, zero windshield however 2 rear side windows broke. One with a rock that his the small passenger side window and one that just shattered while sitting in a hot parking lot.

 

[draggy118]

zero but only because Telsa can't ever get it in stock and safelite in my area won't work on Tesla glass anymore - crack getting larger and more creative with how it spreads

 

[whisperingshad]

1 last week(random stress crack) I made Tesla replace under warranty as no damage.
I did have a hit on windshield that made a crack that i fixed rather than replaced in the past.

 

[VICE]

The very first Model S 2012 and 2013 had problems with the windshield cracking under normal road stress. I remember mine cracked over a small bump at highway speed. The guy that came out to replace it said Tesla was quietly replacing them with a slightly thicker version, (a sort of hush hush recall). The replacement has been good for 9 years now. Model S turns 10 years old in 7 days.

Mine cracked yesterday, and I have an appt next week at the local SC to get it replaced. Every now and then I'd hear a loud "pop" from the windshield while driving. Did anyone who had a stress crack ever experience that?

Mien cracked from the top center edge of the windshield, down the middle of the front cameras. For some reason the crack is being interpreted as rain/bad weather, so it's kicking my wiper blades on when they're set to auto mode - and of course, it's bright sunny skies for the rest of the week, with no need for wipers.
