    4-6 weeks for replacement glass??

    I recently purchased a pre-owned 2020 M3 from a non-Tesla dealership. The car was in good shape other than a broken windshield and top glass piece. The dealership had to take the car to Tesla SC for replacement of both. I have been told that Tesla quoted 4-6 weeks to complete the job. This...

    Not sure when exactly it happened, some time between 11pm and 7am. It was 33-deg F outside and I had turned on the defrost at around 6:45am, where my Long range MY was parked. As you can see, there is ice from the previous days snow storm (not sure if it’s related to the breakage). You’ll also...

    Strange HVAC issue since windshield replacement

    Here's a new one for me. I had my MY windshield replaced this past Tuesday (OEM glass, 3rd party installer) and when I was driving to work on Wednesday morning the AC, which I always keep on "auto" at 68°, decided that it only wanted the air to come out of the windshield and foot vents. It...

    Windshield Replacement Experiences

    Last week, a previously repaired rock chip turned into a full-blown crack making its way across my windshield. I called around and the local Safelite won't deal with Tesla any more, and the glass place I finally found has told me to expect a 4-6 week wait for a new windshield. I'm wondering...
