(This isn't a discussion about insurance.)
Ugh...road chip, dime sized, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER!!! Safelite website wasn't helpful, doesn't list any Tesla, and my VIN wasn't "recognized." Couldn't find a phone number for my local Safelite dealer for a quick drive-up repair, everything is done through the website.
I decided to take the car to Auto Glass Now. $50. Done. 30 minute repair.
I asked the repair tech about replacing a Tesla windshield. He looked at my OEM installed windshield, said it was no different than any other car, very simple, in fact. Probably around $250-300.
I mentioned Tesla was charging (according to posts here) around $1300, because the cameras would require recalibration.
Sez he: "There's no need to recalibrate. The assembly is hung on the windshield. You lift it off, no need to unplug it, and slide it back on. Nothing changes in the calibration."
This makes sense to me. Thoughts, please, from the tech folk here, as to whether or not this is true?
