UPDATED: 360 miles on OD front windshield already cracked 🤦‍♂️

[Flex3269]

Is it me or does the glass on the cybertruck seem fragile? No idea how this happened but I just got the truck a few weeks ago. I doubt Tesla will cover it. Anyone have any experience with a windshield replacement? Safelight is quoting $1350 but I’m sure Tesla would be at least 2k. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

UPDATE:
So I took my cyber truck in for service so they could determine what they could do for the windshield. They came to the conclusion that the chip was caused by a rock hit and it would not be covered under warranty. They wanted about $2600 including labor and tax to total replace the windshield. I opted to try to get my windshield crack filled in by a local windshield repair and that cost me about $120. I wasn’t expecting the crack to be totally fixed. I really just wanted it to be stopped from cracking even further. And being that it’s up in the top right hand corner of the glass. I can’t see it at all while I’m driving, so it’s not a huge deal. I was also trying to figure out a way to protect the larger chip from expansion from any possible water that might get in in expand when it gets freezing outside, you might laugh, but I thought about putting a tempered glass screen protector over the biggest part of the crack. I had a tempered glass screen protector for one of my phones just laying around so I use that I don’t think it looks half bad and it actually kind of blends in with the windshield. I really kind of wish somebody would make a full windshield tempered glass protector. It would still be less than replacing the whole windshield. Here are some before and after pictures also.

10,880 mi so far and zero issues. Have had rocks bounce right off, even had a soccer balls bounce right off that where kicked hard

I would only let the Tesla SC change it. I would be concerned of a third party damaging the windshield trim. I have put pressure on the windshield with my hand while cleaning and never questioned the integrity of the material.

I would totally run it through Tesla first. Perhaps it was -ahem- faulty install?

Safelight was actually a higher estimate on replacing my MY windshield so I stayed with Tesla. They were perfect and I was completely satisfied.

A crack that doesn't have a source is definitely a warranty issue. Defects in pressure-treated glass are difficult to detect so some will get through.

Mine was my fault and $2600.

I contacted SafeLight 2 months ago. They still don’t have a replacement windshield. Go with SC.

?‍ ouch, that’s gonna hurt if I have to pay that.

Safelite was going to replace roof glass on my Model 3, but when I arrived they refused. They said the glass was too large. I’d go with the service center and check how much your insurance would cover.

Report it to Tesla, 10,000 on my CT, My Windshield on day 1 was delaminating from the inside.

They had to replace it 2x...as the replacement windscreen was bad from the factory.

I've posted that story with photos on this forum.

Good Luck...

I remember seeing a couple YouTubers walking in it..

Is the aftermarket CT windshield manufactured with normal soda lime like virtually all windshields or borosilicate like the OG Cybertruck windshield?

There are no aftermarket Cybertruck windshields yet. They are all borosilicate glass (AKA gorilla glass).

I had a similar experience. And the SC cracked my roof glass in the process, so that also needed replaced. And then I had increased wind noise and could not get the headliner to stop rattling like a baby’s rattle. And then I sold it to Texas auto value and bought another with free supercharging. So all good.
