When it comes to Tesla vehicles, OEM replacement glass is recommended. Using any aftermarket glass will void your vehicle’s warranty.

If a technician determines your windshield chip or crack is beyond repair, you’ll need to buy an OEM windshield directly from Tesla. Replacing a Tesla windshield is not cheap. Due to the embedded safety and driver assistance technology integrated into the windshield, costs can reach up to $800 depending on the model, plus additional installation fees. For minor chips or cracks, repairs can be made at a lower cost, but the location of the damage is critical. If it interferes with the advanced systems in the glass, replacement may be required.

Tesla windshields often feature specialized technology, such as acoustic sensors, rain sensors, or cameras. Ensuring a replacement windshield meets Tesla’s specifications is crucial to maintaining these features.

Additionally, after a windshield replacement, calibration of the advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) is necessary to ensure Autopilot, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, and other features function properly. Insurance coverage may apply for windshield repairs or replacement, so it’s important to check with your provider. Lastly, regular maintenance and protection of your windshield, including addressing small chips quickly, can help prevent costly repairs.
