OK, I feel like an idiot asking a stupid question...but here we go.
I picked up my MX in April 2017. My only windshield complaints were some ghosting at night. I've lived with it.
In August my family took a 4 week road trip across the country and back and the MX sat in our garage the entire time. Upon returning and driving the MX I noticed severe vertical striping on the windshield. I thought it was odd but figured it was just some strange dust or something that had settled.
This week I finally got around to hand washing the car. I took a microfiber rag to the windshield with some Invisible Glass cleaner. The lines WILL NOT come off. Visually they appear to be on the outside. There a few odd things about this:

This week I finally got around to hand washing the car. I took a microfiber rag to the windshield with some Invisible Glass cleaner. The lines WILL NOT come off. Visually they appear to be on the outside. There a few odd things about this:
- I never noticed any lines until the car sat unused for a month in a garage (we have motion detectors in our garage...nothing was in there). I can't fathom why this would just show up after sitting for a month. Unless I simply never noticed it before but that would be really odd since it's extremely obvious and driving me nuts now. I've been driving the car for a year and a half with no issues!
- I'll include some pics I tried to take and you'll see that the lines are perfectly vertical. Like something rolled up and down the windshield. Some are tight lines with defined edges, some are more like smears, but they are all up and down with no curves. If you look closely, some of the smeared ones have strange horizontal marks going across.
- I know you look at the pics and say that I must have dragged something up and over my car but I swear I didn't! I've only ever used completely touch-less car washes. There are no marks on the hood. The last time someone else touched the windshield was in May when Tesla gave me a complimentary detail (long story). But I would have noticed this in May, June, July.
