Wind Shield Cracked while parked

[Pialot]

So has anyone had their Cybertruck wind shield cracked because of heat or stress?? I live in Florida and it was 95 degrees but internal temperature hit 110 degrees. It was parked in my driveway no trees or anything that would fall on it. I was getting ready to go to get a consultation for PPF wrapping when it just cracked. Car wasn’t moving or anything.
Sigh terrible luck seriously

This might get replaced if there is no clear damage, but its not a sure bet. A while back there was a documented case of a Tesla window popping in a garage. Tempered glass is always under tension, thats why its strong, but it can POP under the right conditions.

You can see a video of it breaking on its own in a garage. Look under the driver visor and you can see it break.

That is crazy to see, I saw the one photo of the Cybertruck in Texas hit by the hail storm but all the other cars next to it didn’t have any cracked/shattered wind shields. I booked their service for Monday and they said they will do a tension test to see if that is the case or if it was an impact. But literally it wasn’t moving in my driveway… had it for less than 2 weeks with under 300 miles on it ?. They said it would be $2,600 if it was not under warranty

Sucks that this happened but your insurance should cover it if Tesla doesn't. I have a M3P going in for a new windshield next week. Insurance will reimburse.

Do you have cameras on your house ? What about CT video? This damage looks almost like someone stomped right in the middle.

Keep us updated.

With not that much rain,and clear skys the sun has been sizzling hot In South Florida. Going forward you might lower the inside temp and use a windshield sun shade to deflect some of the heat.

No need for camera I was there when it happened. I was getting in and heard a crack and saw the spider web cracks. You can imagine my disbelief and shock.

Following as I’m also a Floridian and I’m wondering about heat impact.

I was getting ready to post a thread asking Southern owners how the CT fares being parked outside now that we are getting into the heat of the summer. Mine will live outside because the classics are in the garage, plus the CT won’t fit anyway.

My cars outside have windshield sunscreens and are covered. I’m hoping that will be sufficient for the CT.

OP, please keep us updated on the resolution.

I agree the overheat protection system was on but still one shouldn’t need sunshade to keep your wind shield from cracking. *I did order custom sunshade from HeatShield just didn’t arrive yet *

Might want to check your surveillance cam. ?

That sucks big time.

The dashcam will be evidence that nothing impacted the windshield.

Why should he have to invoke insurance and pay the deductible for a manufacturing flaw?
