Windshield Tesla or OEM Hyundai

I got a crack in my windshield on my ‘19 Tucson. Took it to safelite (specialty shop that only does glass repairs) and was charged $700 for the windshield and calibration.

I replaced my windshield a couple months back on my 2022 Hyundai Sonata.

Went with a local auto glass repair shop and they charged $1,500 for the glass and labor fee. They shop needed to special order the glass from Hyundai and took about 1 week.

My model 3 took some serious hits from rocks with no crack.

My CPO had a fairly pitted windshield on delivery. Luckily it was replaced for delamination, the new one is holding up OK.

I bought my venue last Saturday, a week later a tiny pebble hit it on the highway and later noticed a crack. After not too long and it being parked, the crack got noticably longer. I have never in my life had a windshield break like that, ever, let alone for it to just grow.

I noticed this summer when I go over bumps, the windshield makes a creaking noise. It's been getting worse and worse. A technician found that basically the bottom 2/3rds of the windshield isn't actually adhered down to the car anymore. It's being held down by the top 1/3 of adhesive and the molding. This is clearly a manufacturing defect since it's the OEM windshield with no cracks or chips.

Had once replaced the windshield on my previous car (Toyota) during 9 years and 120k miles. But with MY23 it’s already twice in 6 months. Been living in same area with similar driving routes and driving habits. Quality of windshield that tesla is using is certainly questionable.

My venue just took the first ever rock to the windshield ive noticed and it cracked about 5” and was 2ft my the morning. Never had one continue to break that far that fast. Probably shitty quality to keep the prices down on the vehicle

I have been driving since 1997, many different cars and never ever had to replace a windshield. I purchased my 2017 Santa Fe about 2 years ago, and have replaced my windshield twice already.

Mine was less than 4 months old when it developed a craxk starting at the bottom and worked its way up. Not sure why tesla windshields are so easy to crack.
