North Carolina Tesla Owners: Windshield Replacement Info You Need to Know

There’s no denying the technological advances of Tesla make it one of the most sought-after vehicles on the market. When we drive our Tesla we feel invincible, but nothing is impenetrable, not even your Tesla. If you’ve recently found a chip or crack in your Tesla’s windshield then you’ve already come to this realization. 

Damaged windshields are a hassle for anyone, not just Tesla owners, but with all the advanced technology, you know you’re windshield isn’t like all the others. That’s why we put together this list of must-know information about windshield replacement for Tesla owners. We believe everyone should go into a situation educated, so we hope this helps. 

Don’t Use Aftermarket Glass When Replacing

While we all like to save money it’s not a great idea to cut corners when it comes to something that guards you like a windshield. Not only that, using glass that is anything other than the original equipment could void the warranty on your Tesla. This is because the ADAS system that’s in your Tesla is unique to it, including the glass. 

Expect ADAS Calibration when Replacing

Many of those special features that make owning a Tesla so unique are embedded directly into the windshield. When replacing the windshield completely, the new glass will have to go through ADAS Calibration after installation. 

Repairing Tesla Windshields is Not Always an Option

Repairing a crack or chip is possible but it all depends on where it is. The windshield of a Tesla is so loaded with ADAS technology, that it’s possible the repair substance can obstruct a sensor, rendering it useless. If this is the case you may need a full replacement. 

You Don’t Have to Go to the Dealership

While you may be tempted to contact the Tesla dealership for a windshield replacement, there are ample auto glass technicians in your area who have experience. When you go to an auto glass expert, you know that they’re focused on the one job that you need, replacing the windshield. 

It May Cost a Bit!

Replacing the windshield on a Tesla isn’t going to be the deal of the century. When you consider that you have to use their glass and all the ADAS technology that needs calibration, that’s a lot of labor and a unique product. But, we don’t own Tesla's because we’re concerned about money. Besides, it’s worth spending money on the things we care about.
