Is Safelite not doing them yet? My understanding is that Tesla doesn't take insurance (which just seems idiotic to me and one of those things that Elon could fix easily and increase street cred for people considering a Tesla). You have to pay the whole nut and file with insurance afterwards. . . .
So, Safelite where you are is $650, but Safelite in San Francisco where @dho112 is $2000 ish? ( post #12 in this thread). I know there are regional differences, but wow that is a huge difference.Safelite can do them cheaper than Tesla (650 vs 1000)… but they have to wait for the glass to arrive. I was quoted 4 months and went with Tesla.
That’s over a hundred miles away from San Francisco so that price curve makes sense I’d drive that to save that much, but what if it was a shattered windshield?Tesla estimate as of yesterday.
Parts (Windshield, sealant, etc.): $759.18
Labor: $301.00
Subtotal: $1060.18
Tax: $55.06
Total: $1,115.24
Actually safelight where I am is over $2,000 not including tax, the Tesla cost was $300 less not including tax as told to me on a phone quote from my local showroom. I’m not sure if he might have gotten it wrong, but that Safelight quote came right from their website for my zipcode *shrug* and the email they sent me. There was no mention of delay times though, that’s a big consideration.So, Safelite where you are is $650, but Safelite in San Francisco where @dho112 is $2000 ish? ( post #12 in this thread).

Yep weird. The quote received was through my insurance company (USAA) as Safelite manages it for them. Maybe Safelight does a cost break for USAA? When Safelite told me it was going to be months to replace (due to glass avail) I told them Tesla had it in stock and would do it for a grand… they said ok and USAA paid it.So, Safelite where you are is $650, but Safelite in San Francisco where @dho112 is $2000 ish?

I know! The funniest thing is that I don't even NEED a windshield LoL! The subject came up because my car was going in because the trunk wasn't "pulling down" when it latched; that motor whine sound as the trunk initially clicks closed and then it gets momentarily pulled down tighter. Mine just goes *clunk* and doesn't get cinched down tighter after that like I see every other Tesla doing. Plus it's pretty badly misaligned. After several back and forths in the chatting feature of the app I just asked if I could call because it was easier to explain things.Safelite where I am, at last check, won't even do Teslas.
Anyway- the weirdest part of your 2k story is you got someone on the phone at Tesla. It's frequently reported that's not a thing that happens but I suppose YMMV by location.
Put in a service request via the app and see what you get back- it was under 1k for me (though not in CA obviously)
It's Safelite, not Safelight. Safelite is the biggest of the chain windshield repair shops, though there are smaller chains also. Other than the small number of chains, there are dealers or manufacturer affiliated shops (some of whom contract the work out) and numerous small local shops (some of whose shops are just one van or truck advertising their service at low cost).That's when I went to the Safelight website (It's the only name I know for windshield stuff )
Ooops! Yes, Safelite. I googled safelight auto glass and Safelite comes up as the top choice. I guess they figure a lot of people other than me would make that bonehead mistake LoL!It's Safelite, not Safelight.

In terms of quality... the glass itself can be OEM, aftermarket from the OEM supplier, or aftermarket from a different supplier. The last of these is the riskiest in terms of poor fit. Installation labor quality can vary with any kind of shop.
