Just noticed today my front window is already cracked. Must just be Colorado driving with sanded roads. Car is not even 1 month old yet.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had replaced their front window and if there was anything special I needed to tell the glass replacement company.
Thanks!
Nick - Mine was exactly as described by many...about 1/3 of the way up the passenger side, curving upwards. I paid out of pocket assuming it was just a pebble that hit me, but I am going to call Tesla today and ask that this be covered by the warranty. My colleague who got his Tesla 3 days before me, just had the same thing happen last night to his.
I can be added to the list of having a cracked windshield, 11 days after delivery.
I just discovered the same crack in my windshield too. (Passenger side, originating from the edge midway up in the shape of a backwards "L"). I've had the car for 6 months with no problem and being in So. Cal. the weather is mild, so no obvious reason for the stress. I'm bummed becuase I had a 3M Winshield Film installed ($500) and I doubt Tesla will reimburse me for that. I'll think twice about having that installed again given this issue with the Model S windshield.
@kelly,
Yup, it's not a matter of if, but when all our MS's windows crack due to excessive rock dings. I actually decided against installing the 3M tint on my windshield because of how many rock dings I currently have after 5500 miles of driving on Los Angeles freeways.
Unfortunately, having amazing aerodynamics is like a magnet for stray rocks flying off of big-rigs.

I've been a reservation holder for over a year and a half and a long-time member of the Tesla forums, so I pretty much knew what to expect when I picked up...
