Windshield Tesla or OEM KIA

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

For me it is incredibly durable. There are hundred of chips on my Model 3 windshield with 53k miles due to freeway driving most of the time, but it is still not cracked yet.

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.

They replaced my windshield in early January, one-day job, had an appointment to take it back Febuary 1st because of wind noise coming in thru the windshield and it’s been there since.

Oem glass is crap tho. Lots of people changed it multiple times.

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.

I’ve had my 2022 Telluride for 10 months and have replaced the windshield twice already due to the cracks that quickly turn to very long cracks stretching across my windshield. I’ve never had to replace a windshield in any of my cars prior to this car, and having gone through 3 windshields (including the original) within 10 months has been annoying.

My 2023 Rio had some little chips brand new had them fix em on the spot

I’m already on my second replaced windshield with a crack already in it. Kia glass is weak as shit. 2 weeks ago I barely heard a rock tink off my glass and it cracked ( I was able to get it filled before it spread) but I’ve already got another from earlier this winter.

Same thing happened on my 2023 Soul. Now the issue is waiting for a windshield. The 2022 is slightly different and 2023 windshields just don’t seem to exist. It’s been awhile and safelite can’t seem to get Kia to send one.
