Windshield Damage

[ModelSFL]

While traveling on the interstate, rocks flew up and left a nice crack in my windshield. Has anyone had experience on how noticeable the damage was once repaired?

Wondering if it is worth replacing than repairing.

That's not fixable. Your only option is to replace it.

When the crack goes to the edge, it's done for.

Some insurance policies have $0 deductibles for windshield glass. It may wind up costing you less than you think to replace.

Tesla's windshields are roughly 2K. If you don't have autopilot or a heated windshield there is an aftermarket available for much cheaper... some where in the 600s i think.

I just had mine replaced at my local service center and it was $1250 for an AP1 non heated windshield installed. Insurance covered it 100%.

....Insurance covered it 100%.

Thats cool. What is your insurance company? Perhaps a statewide regulation for free windshield?

I need to check with my insurance company. I got the heated windshield + AP1, and in Cali where little rocks fly with slight rain or wind..., this can happen anytime .

FWIW, we have USAA with comprehensive coverage. They had Safelite order a Tesla windshield and it only took about a week to receive. They installed it in a few hours and it cost us $0. AP1 and no calibration or additional work from Tesla was required. It's OEM too.

Just had mine replaced. It was around $1250 at the Tesla Service Center (autopilot 1, heated windshield).

Thanks for the insight everyone. The good news is I also have a $0 because it is in FL. I did request they replace the windshield but now need to make sure it will work with AP.

Had our AP 1.0 windshield replaced. It was OEM glass. No issues with the camera. Waited over a month for the glass.

 

[ModelSFL]

Who did the replacement?

Glad prices are going down!

Call your insurance company. I'm in Florida too, and I'm pretty sure that there's a state law here requiring the insurance companies to pay for windshield replacement with no detectable, no matter what your regular deductible is. Let us know what you find.

We had ours replaced by Tesla in Orlando after a rock hit it, and yes - with 0 deductible as we are in Florida. Price was somewhere around $1400 and the windshield was OEM Tesla.

This is true, and was a painful "loss" of service i got when I moved to California. Florida is a free windshield state!
