Tesla recently introduced a new subscription-based Windshield Protection plan for U.S. owners, offering a cost-effective solution for front windshield repairs and replacements. This plan is particularly beneficial for vehicles equipped with Tesla’s camera and sensor-packed windshields.
The subscription pricing varies by model:
– Model 3/Y: $12/month
– Model S: $15/month
– Model X: $23/month
Owners must subscribe to the Windshield Protection plan within 30 days of taking delivery of a new or used Tesla vehicle. There is no long-term commitment required, and owners can cancel anytime.
The plan includes one free front windshield replacement every 12 months, based on the enrollment date. Unlimited chip and minor crack repairs are covered, with a $100 deductible per incident for additional full windshield replacements. The coverage extends to OEM Tesla glass and includes the recalibration of the vehicle’s built-in camera systems, essential for maintaining features like Autopilot and Full Self-Driving.
To subscribe, owners can simply open the Tesla app, tap on Upgrades > Service Plans > Windshield Protection, review the terms, and tap Subscribe. The coverage is limited to the front windshield and excludes damage caused by vandalism, collisions, or natural disasters. Pricing and terms are subject to change.
For owners who have surpassed the 30-day window, they can still subscribe to the Windshield Protection plan after completing a complimentary windshield inspection at a Tesla Service Center or by having their front windshield replaced by Tesla.
Tesla also recently launched monthly subscriptions for its Extended Service warranty. More information on the Windshield Protection plan can be found on Tesla’s official support page. While there is no confirmation on when monthly Windshield Protection subscriptions will be available in Canada or other markets, owners are advised to stay tuned for updates.
