With Tesla, you can turn a $2,442 windshield installation into a $3,174 windshield installation through the power of interest.
This is being reported by the Teslasphere as an “excellent option” to restore affordability to a car market that desperately needs more affordability.
Only, neither of those numbers is even in the same ballpark as affordable.
get insurance that covers windshield replacement
it’s money very well spent
Insurance premiums for Teslas have been skyrocketing because of this.
another reason it’s not worth buying a Tesla
They would have been decent EVs had they not put all that stupid proprietary tech in it. They essentially enshitified cars.
Drive to your local LKQ distribution center with stock and an extra $100. You won’t make it past the 3rd installer you see show up in a van before someone will take your $100 with a new windshield installed within 30 minutes. Never buy a car unless LKQ makes reproduction parts. That is where 90% of auto body repair parts come from in the USA. Anyone can walk in and pay cash too.
idk … i can get the auto glass people to come to me and I don’t pay anything, it’s covered by insurance
I’ve had to replace 2 windshields in the last 5 years
Florida mandates windshield replacement from any insurance coverage, and they can’t raise your rates for that repair. We sorely need more of that kinda thing.
