Windshield Tesla or OEM Subaru

My friend just cracked his Model Y Performance windshield and was quoted $1530ish to get it replaced by Tesla. There's tons of rocks on the roads here in Las Vegas and I drive a lot, so this is a no-brainer for me.

Concerns are kind of valid but in my case, I have 60k km on my 2021 Outback and have not even a nick and my other two Subarus had busted windshields within the first year. The touchscreen might not be the fastest in the industry but it's not horrible day to day and I use it a ton with Android Auto.

I just got my Impreza done a few months ago and it was about a $1k total for glass, install, and calibration, although I used aftermarket glass which fits a bit different.

I had one not a week after I bought my 2022 - it seems like Subaru's windshields like to crack and I don't want to be constantly replacing windshields.

I’ve had my 2015 for just under a year and I’ve had a chip filled and then the whole windshield replaced due to another unrelated crack I got driving on a freeway on ramp

Got four chips in the first two weeks of owning it. Thankfully insurance covers it, but it blows my mind that it happened so easily. I keep a good distance from cars ahead of me, especially since I live in Nashville.

After replacing my windshield twice within 5 years, I tends to believe the angle of 2019 Forester windshield makes it prone to chipping, following or not following the vehicles in the front.

Yeah Subaru windshields are crap.

We get new windshields every year here in northern BC.

Mine barely lasts a few months before a new crack appears.
