Washed my car and the windshield cracked?

I made sure to get glass coverage on my tesla since there is so much glass. Then it's only like $100 to repair.
I have $500 comprehensive, better than $1200 if that's is the typical charge but still not great.

Most insurances offer a separate glass policy. It's usually a very inexpensive option.

I’m curious how good glass coverage would be via Tesla-branded auto insurance. This will definitely play a large factor when considering insurance options.
It would be hard for Tesla to compete when bundling auto & home with other insurers.
Tesla needs to come out with ludicrous polycarbonate windshield with some bulletproof qualities. I’d be up for that upgrade.

This same thing happened to me...thought I was the only unlucky one. Which body shop performed the repair work?
I just got my windows replaced last week - windshield is set to get replaced next Friday.
I have Allstate. They said all I could do was lower comprehensive to $0 deductible for I think around $60 every 6 months (2 vehicles with comp on my policy). Allstate's rates went up over $200 (for 6 months) on the Model 3 for my next renewal saying they found the car costs more to repair than they previously estimated now that they have more data. Guess it's time to shop around because they were already higher than others before the price hike.

Update :
I found a company who just received a few windshields for the M3. They say that they order always more than they need since it is common to receive a few broken one !
Anyhow, i am very lucky since it will be replaced tomorrow morning, and i found out about the crack yesterday. It is good that I didn't have to wait for Montreal service center to help me.
500$ deductible for me. 1835 cad plus tax. total

It looks like Tesla sent a few. We are lucky...
I am just wondering. I notice that the impact on my windshield is right at the top. There are no protection at this place. I looked at other cars, and some have some rubber protection at the same spot. I wonder if it makes a difference ?
Anybody knows ?

Or maybe not. I just noticed the other day that my roof cracked but clearly something hit it and not on the edge. I’m going to see if it’s repairable. Probably not going to replace it if it’s not.
Took the car to service today. They said even though the pit was less than 1mm, since it was inline with the crack, that is what they assume is the root cause, so I gotta hand them a grand when I pick it up tomorrow. Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence particularly driving on the interstate.
