I had a similar (good) experience replacing my windshield earlier this year. Mine was covered under warranty, as there was no evidence of a stone chip. And trust me, they checked THOROUGHLY. It was winter (in Canada), and I had just had some work done on the frunk actuator, so the jacking, cold/heat was likely the culprit. But great experience though. Mine was done while I waited (about 4 hrs). Used the uber credits to go grab some breakfast. Clean car when it was returned. No complaints!
Great and timely video! My windshield went from a small chip to a monster crack on a hot day that I neglected to vent my windows. Reviewed this vid again and followed the “cult” process. Windshield to be replaced in 1 week with a loaner supplied.
FYI for the future; The windshield chip repair kits sold at Walmart, auto parts stores etc? Work wonders IF you catch the chip early before moisture and dirt gets is. The needle shoots in resin and prevents spreading and almost eliminates visibility of the chip. If you don’t trust your skills, call your insurer as most of them waive your deductible to get it done professionally
I can attest to that. I got a rock on my Lotus Evora ( windshield take 6-8 weeks min to get) in the middle of road trip. Grabbed a kit from Walmart applied it in the parking lot. 10 months out and still looking great!
I just had to replace mine on my Y also. A gigantic stone took caused a 25 inch crack took it to Safelite for replacement Once I was driving at highway speeds I noticed then I was getting wind noise with the new windshield so I had to take it back to Safelite and they put another new windshield in and it sounds just right. Pain in the neck, darn rocks !!
In my Tesla Model S I cracked a windshield... USAA wanted me to use Safelite.. I gave it a week and Safelite never even returned my call. Tesla Service center said that they had the glass in stock and they could get it done the following week and... that ALL glass comes from Tesla. so, I talked to USAA and even though the quote was about $400 more.. (tesla told me that safelite couldn't even get their glass for their cost) USAA approved the Tesla work, and then Tesla actually came in at $200 less than their estimate. I have had nothing but great service from Tesla over my 4 years of ownership
same thing with me. I experienced a windshield crack on my 2020 model y. I had Geico and with my extended warranty with Geico, windshield replacement is only 50 dollars. Extended warranty is only 10 dollars per month, which is a no brainer. Satellite was taking a month to deliver the new windshield as the windshield was brand new at the time. I then got permission for tesla and got it done their for 1350
I, too, live in AZ. I had Blue Chip Auto Glass replace my windshield after having Cactus Tint apply a 70% XPel tint. I had to pay out of pocket for the tint. Windshield cracked again a few months later which is totally normal in the desert. Same scenario, but now the insurance company is covering the cost of the tint because it was previously applied.
Glad you were able to get that done at the Service Center... our SC (Portland, OR) will not do glass, they directed me to Safelite, and I am now waiting for a windshield from Tesla to be delivered to them to do the work... super annoying. Tesla gave 20-25 days as a timeframe.
To work a job 25 years and not have some emergency savings, which you only need to float for 15 days, or just have a credit card is crazy. All those hours of suffering a 9 to 5 for nothing, lol. "Well you should quit", classic.
I had to replace my top glass and windshield at Tesla Service Center at the same time. They did it in one day. I was amazed. I have Geico Insurance with a $50 glass deductible.
Great video as always. Great information about cintacting your insurance first. My agent did the same thing in a non tesla with my 0 deductible gllass.
Great video as always. Just had my first windshield issue on my 2020 S. Insurance works with Safelite so I got a quote for a replacement and scheduled with them - $2400 and 4-6 weeks until they can get the glass. Made a service appt via the Tesla app and glass will be replaced in two weeks for $862. Needless to say I cancelled the Safelite appt. Crazy difference in cost - and even though insurance is covering it all I just couldn’t pull the trigger on that quote - even though it was the preferred, and easier route, with my insurance company.
Don't use Safelite for windshield replacement find a shop that will replace windshield with PPG glass. It is much higher quality and costs the same as Safelite for your insurance company.
Great video Contact it’s a reminder that I need to contact my own insurance to add the windshield replacement with zero deductible the only thing that’s holding me back is I really do wonder when a claim is made do you possibly think that your insurance policy will increase on the next renewal ?
Great video. I just move my two vehicles to State Farm. I will be receiving my MYP ON 5/21. I signed up for Tesla insurance. But I will be adding it to State Farm in about a month later. Thanks for explaining how Tesla and your insurance company procedures are. When getting a windshield replaced.
Gjeebs, I have a 2022 Model Y do you notice the Internal car temperature gets really hot? I'm in Ontario Canada and my app constantly tells me it's over 40 degrees C (104F) do you run the Cabin Overheat Protection? Thanks for your reply. Currently I am running it but it does silly to be running my AC when I'm not in the car. I look forward to your response.
For what it's worth, I have lived in Ontario and now Phoenix and I always run the Cabin Overheat protection. Just seems like a smart play to help protect the interior, dash, etc.
You previously said there is a lot of debris on Arizona roads. The only cracked windshield I have had in 50+ years of driving was while I was stationed in Tucson.
Hey make sure that the Macan has had the transfer case replaced. They are known to fail I worked at Porsche for about a year when the Macans were coming out and updated btw.
Uber credits don’t work for people that live a little outside the major metropolitan areas. I live 35 miles outside the Nashville Metropolitan area and the odds of getting a pickup where I live is about 5% at best.
The Uber bucks don’t work when they give them to you .. you eventually have to pay 💰 your Uber out of packet , Plus those Uber bucks they Disappear as soon as you get to your destination ,. I have been to that Tesla repair center in Tempe AZ. They have great service there, and they got nothing to do with your Uber Backs if they work or not. But I would recommend anyone with a Tesla to got to Tempe to get their Tesla fix with any issues, you will be pleased 😄
If you get your windshield tinted at Hyer Quality Detail, they will replace your windshield and re-tint your car for free if you replace the windshield thru your insurance company with them.
Seems Tesla having very cheap windshield glass. This is my 2nd Tesla and this is my 3rd time windshield cracking with tiny rock. I had been driving Honda and toyta for 10+ years prior to getting Teslas and never had to replace windshield. Seems cheap material from China may have been used. Tesla should disclose how many people came to them for windshielf replacements
Gjeebs, cult member! Cute dog. Not sure if I will go with Tesla insurance. Probably not, but it would be nice to know what it is like. Cost, service, do they admit being in a cult?
I just got my windshield replaced on a model 3. Mesa Tesla location, $845. They scratched my vinyl. They're covering the replacement vinyl thankfully it was diy and not really expensive. However without the vinyl they would have scratched the paint. Originally Safelite was going to do it but after 10 days they called saying they have to order a new one and would take another 4-6 weeks.
The people handling your claim sounded like idiots. The first one telling you Tesla is like a cult....well first off, depending on the context of your conversation, that's unprofessional and she sounded jealous. The second comment about not being able to pay out of pocket sounds like she needs to build up her savings. I'm not rich but if I had to I could pay out of pocket. My 2013 Kia Optima needed a door lock actuator and I could have ordered the part and replaced it myself but since the car was in the shop for something else anyway I just had the mechanic give me a quote and I paid for it. Owning any car, like owning a house, means you're going to eventually have to pay for stuff when it's either not covered or you don't have a warranty so you better be prepared.
Also, my dad has been a State Farm insurance agent in north Scottsdale for 30 years, he can afford to drive a premium fuel chugging Lexus LS 460 land yacht 1.5 hrs to and from work every day, but he claims Teslas are too expensive.
Everything that you’re saying is absolutely true about the windshield.. but the crazy thing is when a car insurance agent that is in charge of windshield coverage ask for pictures of your cracked 😂 windshield.. they want so many damn pictures, and they sound like they don’t believe you you have a cracked 😂 windshield.. then you think to yourself I’m just lying to pay 💰 for windshield to get it replaced and then get the reimbursement 2 week later 😂 Insuranse agents will never change !
Love my tesla but 1300 is stupid plus the fact they had it a day is unacceptable. I've been able to wait for every windshield I've had done on other vehicles and never paid more than half what this one cost. The still have things to get much much better at.
"Coming in for a quick cult meeting and we'll be good to go." Never change.
Dear Viewer, for viewing royalties use tag to apply
Guess I have to get used to this. In the past a technician came to my home and replace my windshields in an hour and half. No loaner needed.
That’s even better !
Agree. It will get to that

See, this is the humor I expect from Gjeebs. Keep this humor up. Recently, you've left out your dry humor and I missed that on your channel.

Great video of having your front windshield replaced. Congrats on the move!

The Smell test @ 5:28 took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣 not Elon’s underwear 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I totally dig your sense of humor.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ! 🙏. This will drastically reduce the stress when this inevitably happens to me !

Hey make sure that the Macan has had the transfer case replaced. They are known to fail I worked at Porsche for about a year when the Macans were coming out and updated btw.
Yea I noticed that in my research. The one I am looking at hasn’t had it replaced and it’s a 15. What does it cost to replace?
Uber credits don’t work for people that live a little outside the major metropolitan areas. I live 35 miles outside the Nashville Metropolitan area and the odds of getting a pickup where I live is about 5% at best.
That’s a good point! So in your case you would need to plan a little more and make sure they get you a rental car
@@Gjeebs agreed so if they can’t do a service at need at my home, then I make sure rental is included.
No way to get your insurance to pay for the tint added to the windshield? In AZ, it seems like I have to replace my windshield 1x each year....
Best line ever…smells like Elon’s underwear! Lol
This was hilarious, "You should quit" lol

The bad part is that the windshield counts as a claim against us. I had a similar experience
very helpful & funny thank you

hey jeebs! what spoiler did you get? recommend it?
It’s from Tesla so yes I recommend it. Not sure if you can still order them
Seems Tesla having very cheap windshield glass. This is my 2nd Tesla and this is my 3rd time windshield cracking with tiny rock.

How’s Jamie doing? Trust she is okay and that her pregnancy is progressing well. Cheers from AKL, NZL.
Good
Why not join tesla insurance? They have it available in AZ
I will
How do you know it’s Elons underwear? 😂😂
Because it smells like rocket fuel...
The problem with the Uber credits is it doesn’t cover tip
Why tip?
@@maxflight777 It’s common courtesy, but of course not required if you don’t desire to.
Gjeebs, cult member! Cute dog. Not sure if I will go with Tesla insurance. Probably not, but it would be nice to know what it is like. Cost, service, do they admit being in a cult?
Love it :)
My brain immediately went to Uber Eats too!
Do you get to keep the Uber Credits?
No it clears after you get your car back
Crazy, ours broke last week.
“Good morning pigs”
I have a Tesla and the windshield crack a lot
Macan GTS.?.? Not a X3M/ comp?
🤦♂️😜
Shut your mouth and stay in line. Bang! Haha
Ahh A poodle owner -- figures your are so witty and highly-intelligent. 🐩
You’re hilarious
How about safelite
I just got my windshield replaced on a model 3. Mesa Tesla location, $845. They scratched my vinyl. They're covering the replacement vinyl thankfully it was diy and not really expensive. However without the vinyl they would have scratched the paint. Originally Safelite was going to do it but after 10 days they called saying they have to order a new one and would take another 4-6 weeks.
I will be switching to Tesla insurance. It looks to be a lot cheaper once the score drops
The people handling your claim sounded like idiots. The first one telling you Tesla is like a cult....well first off, depending on the context of your conversation, that's unprofessional and she sounded jealous.
The second comment about not being able to pay out of pocket sounds like she needs to build up her savings. I'm not rich but if I had to I could pay out of pocket.
My 2013 Kia Optima needed a door lock actuator and I could have ordered the part and replaced it myself but since the car was in the shop for something else anyway I just had the mechanic give me a quote and I paid for it.
Owning any car, like owning a house, means you're going to eventually have to pay for stuff when it's either not covered or you don't have a warranty so you better be prepared.
The Cult wins again🤣
Went through the exact same process. Took State Farm 5 weeks to get me my check for my windshield. White privilege is real.
I did get a loaner though. So we’ll call that affirmative action on behalf of Tesla.
Also, my dad has been a State Farm insurance agent in north Scottsdale for 30 years, he can afford to drive a premium fuel chugging Lexus LS 460 land yacht 1.5 hrs to and from work every day, but he claims Teslas are too expensive.
Yea I told them I was white so try that next time. I’ll back you up

Guess that's another good reason not to get a Tesla the cost of a windshield. I replaced one on my Ford it was $450 out the door.
Mine cost $0 I guess you didn’t hear that
