Windshield OEM Toyota or Tesla

We had Tesla do it on our Y and it went well.

I replaced a windshield in my 2023 Camry this year and it was $800. The Toyota dealerships near me do not replace windshields and told me to go with a local windshield replacement business. The business brought my car to the Toyota dealership after installing the new windshield to have everything calibrated.

If you have the rain-sensing wipers, you will need OEM toyota glass because the rain sensor depends on the optical characteristics of the windscreen. My local Safelite assured me their glass would work, but it didn't (the wipers would run on random but frequent intervals), so they put in a second third-party windscreen, and it didn't work either. So I had them put in a third windscreen (they went with OEM), and everything was fine after that. OEM is an extra-cost option on the first install but it costs 40% more.

Got a rock chip 13 days into my MYLR7 ownership which developed into a 20" crack right across the driver's side. Had it replaced next day at the Service Center for my $100 deductible. Great deal I thought... Until I picked up the car and heard wind noise throughout the driver's side. They had to put in another windshield.

2021 Model Y with 70,000 miles. One windshield replaced about 6 months ago. Encountered random rock on I-75 in Florida.

1 month of owning 2024 MY, 2 cracks on windshield. Went to repair shop 5 other model Y in shop getting repaired.

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

21 tundra 1974 edition here and can confirm that its the worst quality glass ive ever owned. I live in florida and have more nicks and scratches then can count. Im amazed it hasnt fully cracked even tho theres a small crack from one of the chips

I feel like the Toyota windshield’s are shit. It was chipped and repaired 3 times before. Then a 4th rock hit it and cracked the whole thing by several feet.

What kind of cheap glass did Toyota use on these 2019+ RAV4?? I keep seeing them cracked.
