Driving on back roads today a truck launched a rock into my windshield, leaving a generous chip. Ugh.
Curious, did you ask for OEM glass from Safelite? How does new windshield look? Recalibration go uneventfully?
Thx.

Safelite called today and told me that the windshields for the model X are too large to transport from Scottsdale, Arizona to Prescott, Arizona. The only Safelite facility in Arizona that installs model X windshields is in Scottsdale. So they gave me a new appointment for next Friday in Scottsdale. They get the windshields directly from Tesla.
New service center had a grand opening in Richmond TX last weekend. They offered a service tour. Back in the area where glass repair is done was all different cradles of windshield for various models. What I found intriguing was the area where the cameras goes on each windshield was already adhered like a tray inside to the glass. Some appeared to have small fans attached and some had other wires running from it. So, if it's a glass that is coming form Tesla, I think the camera mount will snap into the correct location, especially on a MX. The recalibration option under service should work the same as if the car was new.

My insurance is always trying to get me to have Safelite do the windshield and I'm like no you clowns Safelite CAN'T do it because the camera needs to be recalibrated. So then I go to Tesla and it's like $1600 out the door and they get pissy but they always pay anyway. On the older cars like mine the AP camera needs to look at a specific QR code looking thing from specific distance and such, Safelite ain't about that life 
That's weird since Safelite says they say they do calibration...My insurance is always trying to get me to have Safelite do the windshield and I'm like no you clowns Safelite CAN'T do it because the camera needs to be recalibrated.

I do believe I said old cars. AP1 is superior in driving but it can't calibrate itself like the new cars do.
McDonald's has served billions of burgers that doesn't make them good. Safelite is trash

I had mine replaced (MY) through Tesla by Safelite. Dropped the car at Tesla; Watched Safelite complete the change out in the parking lot; calibrated the camera; Easy peasy.
Definitely your opinion, but lots of people use Safelite and millions of people pay McDonalds for their burgers.
