Windshield Tesla or OEM Volvo

saved my wallet so i\u2019ll never get rid of it. got mine in july and signed up for the windshield insurance on the last possible day and chipped my windshield not even a week later, which turned into a long ass crack before i even actually put the claim in

Just had mine replaced under the plan, 2022 model Y performance. I had paid three months of premiums and was quoted right around $1500 for a small Chip that had started to spread.

Still an amazing deal for me given that I live in Texas and am insured through GEICO.

In the first month that I got my 2025 M3P the windshield got hit by a rock that flew off of a truck going the opposite direction. The windshield had to be replaced.

my 2018 M3P had this too when i took delivery, i asked them and they cleaned it for me, i'm sure it's still there but like you said, the light has to hit it just right to see it, so doesn't really bother me anymore. i'm pretty sure all tesla windshield are like this, don't know why.

I just noticed this on my Model Y Juniper last week, and no matter how hard i Try I cannot get it cleaned off!! I hate having perfectly clean glass and seeing these!

I’ve got a Tesla Model Y built in **November 2024**. Recently it was in a Tesla Approved Body Shop to repair some paint damage. After the repair, I noticed something strange on my **front windshield**: there are tiny **metallic / glitter-like dots**spread across the entire glass.

You only see them when driving **directly into the sun**, when the sunlight shines strongly into the cabin. Under normal conditions or on cloudy days, they’re basically invisible. You **can’t feel them** from inside or outside and you **can’t wipe them off** – they seem to be **inside the glass layer** itself.

At first, the shop and I thought it might be overspray or paint mist from the repair. They even cleaned the windshield with thinner, but nothing changed. During that process someone actually scratched the glass in my field of view, so they replaced the whole windshield with a **brand new Tesla OEM windshield**.

The weird part:

The **new windshield has exactly the same effect** – tiny glitter-like particles across the whole surface, only visible when the sun hits it directly, again not feelable and clearly **inside the glass**.

Because I was pretty annoyed and curious, I started comparing with other cars in my family:

* **Model 3 (2022)**, first factory windshield, never repainted → has the **same dots**.

* **Model Y (Sept 2024)**, first factory windshield, never repainted → also has the **same dots**.

The body shop also checked a few other Teslas they had in for repair (both Model 3 and Model Y, different years). They looked at **five cars** and all five windshields showed these same glitter-like points in the glass.

So at this point I’m convinced it’s **not paint overspray**, because several untouched cars with original glass show the exact same thing.

The wife has been trying to coerce me into a truck and we’ve driven the cyber truck. Honestly, coming off my model 3 i was sorely disappointed in it. Admittedly the test drive experience was soured by the filthy truck, shitty parking lot, and unhelpful test drive supervisor. But the thing just wasn’t as easy to see out of as say a silverado ev and the minimalist design that works in a sedan feels less good in a truck. Especially when you have so much dashboard and giant windshield. You also run into the issue that if you need to open the back up, you lose your rearview mirror entirely. Weird they wouldn’t make the thing a screen to the camera like most trucks do now.

I had same experience… a small rock chip expanded into a foot long crack in under a week.

Just got a chip in my windshield ???? gotta love AZ
