Model 3 glass roof broken

Should this incident be reported to some UK/EU testing standard?

I’m sure that if any such standards exist the roof will have been required to meet them before importing.

I’d be very surprised if the roof isn’t laminated glass like the windscreen. If so it will crack but not shatter. The glass cover in any normal insurance policy will cover replacement - although my LV policy had a £190 excess when I had to replace my windscreen.

The windscreen/roof panel is laminated. I'm not sure about the rear section but having seen pictures of fault cracks I would have thought the whole thing would have exploded if it wasn't laminated.

My mate's a glazer and he says that they are laminated and toughened glass. Similar to what you have in your house windows.

Most house windows are now toughened (by law if below a certain height I think. For safety) but are not typically laminated

The rear glass is laminated. Mine cracked and the damage could only be felt on one side and stopped at half thickness.

some more details about the actual damage might help for people to give advice, perhaps pictures also

I used to run a football club and many a standard ICE car windscreen would be smashed in from errant shots. My son broke a girl's arm with an errant shot straight to her arm.
