The infographic titled "Tesla Windshield Repair: What You Need to Know" outlines essential considerations for Tesla owners facing windshield damage. It emphasizes the importance of using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement glass, as utilizing aftermarket alternatives can void the vehicle's warranty. Tesla windshields often incorporate advanced technologies, such as acoustic sensors, rain sensors, and cameras, integral to the vehicle's safety and driver-assistance systems.

 

Therefore, ensuring any replacement meets Tesla's exact specifications is crucial to maintain these functionalities.​ The infographic also highlights the financial aspect, noting that replacing a Tesla windshield can be costly, with prices reaching up to $800, depending on the model and additional installation fees. Minor chips or cracks may be repairable at a lower cost; however, if the damage interferes with embedded systems, a full replacement might be necessary.

 

Post-replacement, recalibration of the Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) is essential to ensure features like Autopilot and Traffic-Aware Cruise Control function correctly. Additionally, it advises Tesla owners to consult their insurance providers, as coverage for windshield repairs or replacements may vary. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to minor damages are recommended to prevent more extensive and costly repairs in the future.
