jeturney: regarding your new X 90D, do you notice any ghosting of distant lights (tail lights, head lights, street lights) at night? Thanks.I just received my X 90D on Wednesday - I'll look for this.
This is not only a Tesla problem. But strangely not all people see it

Blue has the longer wavelength compared with red and blue causes more aberrations due to being refracted more by surfaces that refract light.It's worse than that, it's physics, Jim!!
I am getting the double vision during the day too, with red lights, even in bright sunlight. Makes perfect sense what is going on, it is due to the curvature of the windshield. It is more obvious with the red light, since this region has a longer wavelength. To eliminate this, there would need to be optical coatings applied during the windshield manufacturing process, which of course would make the glass more expensive. I can live with it, just as I lived with the distortions in both front and back glass with my Model S for the past three years. Oh, and the rear glass distortions are still there. It is the price we pay for cutting edge technology. Same as the misalignments in the panels, occasional hiccups with the door actuators etc etc.
Blues are somewhere around 450-500nm, but reds are around 650-700nm. Red wavelengths are longer.Blue has the longer wavelength compared with red and blue causes more aberrations due to being refracted more by surfaces that refract light.
Yes you are right. I goofed. Typed quicker than I was thinking. But blue is refracted more and causes more aberrations. That's the rationale behind "blue blocker" glasses.Blues are somewhere around 450-500nm, but reds are around 650-700nm. Red wavelengths are longer.
Everything's lasers these days.It would be helpful if Tesla built a test harness to validate the windscreen prior to leaving the factory. It could be as simple as shining a laser through the windscreen and monitoring the laser image on the driver's seat.
They could mount the laser on a shark stuffed toy and call the test-rig "Jaws". Fricken lasers!Everything's lasers these days.
I think they could QC them at the Peruvian factory by doing something similar. It could be pretty easily automated if they employed a device that measured the distance between the ghost dots from the laser, and could reject outside of a certain tolerance.
How did your May 3rd windshield replacement go? Is the ghosting remedied?Status update - I have a May 3rd appointment at the service center to have my windshield replaced. The tech said it might take a few days, it sounds like they have not done one before. I'm hoping there will be a reduction in ghosting even if it is not completely eliminated. I just can't imagine that anyone would think the level of ghosting I have is acceptable for a windshield.
