Does a Tesla warranty cover the windshield?

I just bought a brand new Tesla. I was driving the other day when I noticed a giant crack in the windshield. No debris hit my car as far as I know, so I’m at a loss. Will the Tesla warranty cover my windshield?

Unfortunately, the Tesla warranty will probably not cover your windshield. Unless you can prove that the damage was from a manufacturer’s defect in the windshield, Tesla will chalk this up to wear and tear.
Replacing a Tesla windshield costs between $1,000 and $2,000, which is far more expensive than a windshield replacement for any other car, so get ready to pinch your pennies.
