Model 3 LR cracked glass, defective?

[Beerbaron105]

Front windshield and noticed a large crack running up from the very bottom of the pane in front of the driver.

It was extremely cold today and preconditioned then I noticed after clearing the window.

Tesla doesn't want to cover it? Is this normal? On a four month old vehicle?

I found a crack that spans bottom of the window (not in the visible area). I haven't looked into "fixing" it as it's not visible while driving and doesn't appear to affect anything.

I don't think it's normal... this is the first vehicle I've owned that's had any glass damage of any kind.

I'm going to go out in the daylight and get a better look at it

Upon closure inspection in the day there is a tiny rock impact at the bottom and looks like it took a cold day to split

We had roof glass damage on delivery in 2018 and Tesla did replace the panel free of charge. However, we did get a star crack from a rock in the front windshield. I’ve filled it with the hope that we’ll get a few more seasons before it gets bad enough to require a replacement.

The problem with the replacement glass is that it’s $1,400. Our previous Mazda cost us $400. That’s a big bump.

I looked closer, on the passenger side, appears to be a point of impact. Crack goes along the black area all the way across to the drivers side.

I had a rock from a dump truck in front of me while driving on the hwy chip my front windshield Last year. The crack grew about 1” everyday. I slowed it down by putting some crazy glue on it but eventually gave up and let it continue to crack the length of the entire windshield while I waited 2 months for Tesla authorized body shop get in a windshield. Even creating a service ticket with Tesla didn’t help. They replied by text and said windshields come up from USA and average wait time is 1-2 months. They told me don’t worry, the front windshield has anti-shatter coating unlike the side windows.

I have an appointment this Thursday for my glass issue which my PPF installer pointed out to me last month. He says it's a stress fracture, let's see what Tesla tells me. They are getting worse and worse for taking responsibility for any defects.

Tesla pushed back, saying it was a stone chip. I explained my situation to the president of our local Tesla owner's club and he managed to convince Tesla to replace it under warranty.
