Windshield Tesla or Pilkington

I put an aftermarket Pilkington windshield in mine and have no problems with it.

I went with Tesla and was glad - they did the camera calibration and mobile tech came out a few days later to fix moisture issue. Also, sounds silly, but installed the windshield straight.

It was $400 installed and its the original Pilkington glass.

My first two windshields were Carlex brand, and they were trash. Both chipped multiple times from minor rock chips that ended up spiderwebbing even after repair. Anything has to be better than Carlex.

My 3rd and current windshield is Pilkington and so far seems great. Shrugged off a pretty nasty rock hit with barely a scuff.

I was able to find a small specialist shop that did mine for $400 flat. Not OEM but Pilkinton. I did not have him do the calibration, he said you don't need it if the install is done correctly. I have had zero issues since.

Replaced with my current glass which is Pilkington and it's been like 7 months without chips or cracks, which is the longest I've had an immaculate windshield in the entire time I've owned the car.

They have to use Tesla OEM so it’s going to be a bit.

it chips just as easy as the paint

I had two windshield cracks before I reached 20k miles.

I definitely have numerous chips. I thought maybe it was the aerodynamics of the Model S, but it might be the glass.
