Windshield Tesla or OEM Hyundai
2022 Luxury edition Plugin hybrid. 100k kms no issues at all. Only the regular maintenance. Changed the windshield a couple of times due to small rocks thrown by the other cars.
I have the windshield policy on my new Juniper Model Y. Wife caught a rock 1 month into owning it....got windshield replaced with Tesla glass not Safelite standard glass. Its definitely different between the 2.
Live in Mass had my juniper a month and caught a rock, rather pay 12$ than $1700 to get a OEM windshield.
Had the Tesla for 3 months and I had to replace my windshield already. I’d say it’s worth it.
I had my 2025 m3 just a couple of weeks, got two Rick chips, went to Tesla to have them fixed. Instead of fixing them, they just replaced the whole damn windshield.
I've had a nasty stone chip that cracked in my windshield and it had to be replaced. My insurance covered the replacement, and I could choose a Tesla certified repair shop near me. The repair shop I chose ordered a new windshield from Tesla itself, on VIN number.
After receiving the car back, everything worked as it should. Until the temperature dropped below 5 degrees C outside. The front camera would fill with condensation. Autopilot/automatic windshield wipers and the safety systems stopped working because of this. This happens no matter if I pre heat the car or not, it happens after driving 10 minutes and remains for the rest of the journey.
I went back to the shop, they replaced the module that powers the window heating in front of the camera. This did not fix the issue.
Upon closer inspection, I found out that the windshield that was placed had different heating wire patten, just 4 vertical ones with 3 or 4 cm unheated glass in between, instead of the 9 horizontal ones like it used to have. After some more digging, I found out that the placed windshield is a highland unit, with the 'notch' for HW4. Mine is an 01-2019 with HW2.5.
I can see that the heating is working. With snow on the car, it nicely melted all the snow around the camera with sentry mode on. When it fogs up, there is no condensation close to the heating wires. It just seems like the distance between the wires is too big on the new windshield.
This is the only windshield that can be supplied for this car by Tesla, the damage repair shop checked.
The glass on the Tesla Model three seems to be incredibly prone to cracking. My M3P from 2020 has a crack in the rear passenger roof glass and the windshield. I drive a lot of miles admittedly but this will be my third windshield once I replace it.
I just dropped 1500 bucks on a new windshield. 18k miles on car. Painful. Get the protection.
First impressions though is the HUD is massively different even with OEM. The position is off, and currently I am maxing the height of the HUD and the corrective tilt to get it to appear not blurred. Really strange. Will definitely be calling them back to take a look.
I did confirm the glass is OEM though, and I can see the HUD endorsement next to the Hyundai logo. Really hope this is an easy fix because the HUD right now is not good.
My MY 2024 also has it and has been very annoying.
