I pulled the 3 out to wash it before watching the event on autonomy this afternoon and the dang windshield cracked when I sprayed it with water...
Has this happened to anyone else?

There is pollen on the car so it may look like chips. There does look like one at the top of the crack though.I've had this happen to my Land Rover. Washed the car in the hot sun and windshield cracked. Took it in to the dealer and they pointed out a small chip in the windshield on the crack.
Looks like your windshield has three or four chips. One of them is on the crack. All it takes is a small chip to weaken the glass then some stress like temperature change from washing.
I think only the side windows are tempered. Tempered glass cracks into a million pieces so it wouldn't be safe for a windshield. The windshield is laminate (it has a plastic layer in between two layers of glass.)All windshield are tempered and under stress. If you get a tiny impact that can become a point to release all that tension and crack.
Most common instigator of crack will be a car under stress where the frame torques or hitting a hot windshield in the sun with cold water.
This not just a Tesla thing, but common with all cars.

Waiting for Tesla to make a real off road vehicle... Or the Bollinger B1.A Land Rover?
That's the official opposite of a Tesla. LOL
This one was built Aug 2018, but the windshield was replaced already due to Tesla contracted body shop damage in October.For those with the Crack windshields, what were the build dates? Hoping they figured this problem already at the plant already.
It did not make it into this 3, but yes I heard that too.I thought that "Tesla glass" was suppose to be virtually indestructible. Is that only for the Tesla Semi?
That's the solar roof.I thought that "Tesla glass" was suppose to be virtually indestructible. Is that only for the Tesla Semi?
That's the solar roof.
Only if Tesla improves their reliability. I would say a Toyota Land Cruiser is the opposite of a Tesla.A Land Rover?

Op- so sorry to hear that.
Confession: in college I threw a water balloon at a car and it cracked the windshield. .. I was arrested... I learned right then and there the physics behind hot windshields and cold impact.. shhhh.. never told my mom..
