I would gladly pay $500 - $1,000 more for a new Tesla with a windshield that would be much harder to crack I love the quality of the Tesla, and the engineering behind the Model 3 is quite ingenous, but isn't there a higher quality, high-impact resistant tempered glass that Tesla could use for all their Tesla's windshields? So that was 3 customers in the Tesla service center, all 3 replacing expensive windshields! Interestingly, while I was paying for the windshield, there were 2 other customers waiting for their Tesla service to complete, and both of them also had to replace a cracked windshield. This expense was pretty irritating after having this Model 3 just a little over 3 months.

So I made an appointment at the local Tesla Service Center, and they were able to replace the windshield in about 5 hours, but for a cost of $900, as the windshield, tires, and at least one other thing was not covered under warranty :-( Middle starting to creep down the windshield. Initially I did not see any small hole in the windshield or anything at all, but about 2 days later, I saw a crack in the windshield from the top Unfortunately the other day as I was driving around 60 mph on the highway, I heard a tink sound on the windshield.

I'd like to start by saying we love our 2022 Model 3, which we picked up new just before the end of 2021.
