vs
Windshield Tesla or OEM BMW
If you are paying out of pocket, you should insist on an OEM windshield. Otherwise, the HUD may not be clear or focused.
Pros: clear HUD, focused HUD
Vehicle:
BMW
528i xdrive 2014 here ..just experienced my 1st full replacement at 115k miles...just for a good reference
Pros: long lasting, good durability
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 185074 km
Switched to original BMW and it was perfect again
Pros: perfect HUD clarity
Vehicle:
BMW
It is just a bad hit. Tesla glass is not garbage compared to other cars. My Infiniti glass was cracked at 17k miles with city driving, while my Model 3 only got its first crack at 60k miles with heavy freeway driving and got hit countless of times.
Pros: Tesla glass is not garbage
Cons: Infiniti glass cracked early
Mileage: 60000 km
2021 Model Y with 70,000 miles. One windshield replaced about 6 months ago. Encountered random rock on I-75 in Florida.
Cons: windshield replaced
Mileage: 70000 km
1 month of owning 2024 MY, 2 cracks on windshield. Went to repair shop 5 other model Y in shop getting repaired.
Cons: two cracks in 1 month
I have never in my life gotten a chip or crack in my windshield. I’ve had my model Y for 10 days and I have TWO chips!! What the heck?? It’s a used 2021 and it’s not covered under warranty apparently
Cons: two chips in 10 days
2024 X5, yes same issue. Replaced due to a rock from a truck that was at least 5 - 7 car lengths ahead of me in the right lane. As soon as I got it back after full replacement it was hit again and cracked on the bottom passenger side. Hard to see since so low. The. My husband drove this past week and also endured a chip. I don’t believe the windshields on these are very durable. I’ve owned many cars/SUVs (we lease and trade regularly every 2-3 years). This has by far been the worst.
Cons: not durable, cracked easily, chipped easily, worst experience
Vehicle:
BMW X5
I have a 2023 BMW X3 M40i and have the exact same issue. The windshield cracked overnight after only having the car 6 months from new, no stone chip visible. Had it replaced with OEM glass and the replacement windshield cracked in the same place 4 months later. No sign of chip. Looks just like your photo.
Cons: windshield cracked overnight
Vehicle:
BMW X3
I’m going to say yes. Had my 05 Lexus is300 for almost 20 years. 2 chips and one window replacement. I have had my 23 M3P for 8 months. One chip and then had a rock hit my window - started as another chip then within 24 hours became an 18 inch crack. Had to have it replaced.
Pros: rock hit window
Cons: window cracked quickly
