How common is ghosting?

It does eist, though much less pronounced, unless you look to your right while driving and then it's real pronounced. in my real old S loaner, anyway.
it's the rear window on the S it squishes everything out of proportion.
Well that I remember seeing too.
My X100D was build mid May, delivery in factory at end of May. No ghosting whatsoever. And I do know exactly what to look for. Even very bright point sources of light have no reflections. I've changed my position up/down/left/right. No change. I cannot see any reflections. I don't understand this. If it is an intrinsic problem with the glass (thickness and angle related), every windshield should have it. If it has to do with coatings or multiple layers, why is there such a large difference between windshields?
I'm also very impressed with the IR rejection. Even in full sun, I barely feel the sun beating down on me. Much better than my previous Lexus RX.

It is not impossible Tesla could make a new revision / fix this at some point, of course.
I for one certainly can consider your data point (and I do). A later build in May possibly having a better revision and you saying you know the issue intimately, I mean it could fit a better unit...
Have you looked at oncoming headlights at night?
Have you seen the size of that windshield? Trying to sandwich multiple layers and at the same time trying to keep a constant uniform stress over the whole windshield throughout the process (especially while it cools) is a big challenge.
Oh yes. Those are ""very bright point sources" I mentioned
I know what a challenge it is to make those windshields. In a former job, I worked on uniformity control of the plastic layers in car safety glass.
So after replacement my windshield is worse. Separation is about the same but brightness of rereflections is somewhat higher so I now see whole cars rereflections, not just bright sun reflection.
I wonder if we @Dirk you can see when was your windshield made (passenger side lower corner should have that though I am not sure how to interpret it.)
Here's a copy of my info for the new windshield (did not think about taking a picture of the original one and now it's too late.)
Would be interesting to see if there's a pattern of good and not so good parts wrt serial numbers.
Interesting that on the repair invoice the replacement windshield listed as qty 2 (consistent with SC report that the first replacement windshield was MUCH worse than the original one and them ordering a yet another one) but also bizzarely they list that the whole triple camera assembly was replaced too "ASY,HRN,MDLX,ALL,OHC,TRIPLE-CAM 1 (1082391-00-B)"

I wish to change my vote!!
Very clear ghosting worse with multiple oncoming lights at night. Makes driving impossible.
Rear/tail lights all show ghosts.
Poor glass coupled with the high angle are leading to this.
They need to add anti-reflectivity to the glass to improve the prism refractivity issues!.
Only problem I have had so far, but it is a huge problem!!!!

Hm, your part number is completely different! I have 1034385-01-H and you have 1105964-00-B
I got some prescription polarized sunglasses today. I don't usually use sunglasses, because it's a hassle to switch between regular glasses and sunglasses, but I decided it would be nice to have with the huge windscreen.
Well, I haven't tried them very much, but my initial impression is that it helped quite a lot with the ghosting. What would have been very apparent ghosting appeared more like a slight glare. I have asked the service center to take a look at the ghosting when they enable the high amperage charger that should have been activated when I got the car, but if they say it's normal, I think I'll be perfectly alright with just using sunglasses.
