   Tesla has introduced a monthly windshield protection subscription plan in the US market in June 2025. 

   This service operates independently from the Extended Service Agreement, focusing specifically on windshield damage risks that are typically excluded from traditional insurance and warranty coverage.

1. Service Coverage and Details

   The subscription covers the front windshield exclusively and remains active throughout the subscription period. Here's what's included:

Coverage Type Details
Windshield Repair Unlimited repairs for chips or minor cracks
Windshield Replacement One free replacement every 12-month period from enrollment date
Additional Replacements $100 deductible per incident

2. Subscription Pricing

   Monthly fees vary by Tesla model:

Vehicle Model Monthly Fee (USD)
Model 3 $12.00
Model Y $12.00
Model S $15.00
Model X $23.00

3. Enrollment Process

Core Enrollment Window:

  • New and used Tesla owners must subscribe within 30 days of vehicle delivery through the Tesla App.

Simple 5-Step Subscription Process:

  1. Open the Tesla app
  2. Navigate to 'Upgrades' > 'Service Plans' > 'Windshield Protection'
  3. Review coverage terms and pricing
  4. Tap 'Subscribe'
  5. Confirm payment information

Late Enrollment Options (Available from July 2025):

  • Complete a complimentary inspection at a Tesla service center
  • Subscribe within 30 days after a paid windshield replacement at Tesla
Currently available in the US market, with planned expansion to Canada and Mexico.

4. Technical Complexity

   Tesla windshields serve advanced functions beyond traditional purposes. The official repair guide defines three controlled zones:

Restricted Zones (Red Areas):

  • The Frit area (painted edges)
  • Camera FOV plus 25mm surrounding area
  • Passenger side windshield

Limited Repair Zones (Green/Blue Areas):

  • Repairs allowed only for specific outer glass damage:
    • Cracks less than 50mm in length
    • Debris damage under 25mm in diameter
  • Replacement required if:
    • Inner glass layer is damaged
    • Single glass accumulates 3 repairs

5. Decision-Making Guide

Best Value for:

1. Model S/X Owners:

  • Optimal cost-benefit ratio due to higher replacement costs

2. Frequent Rough Road Drivers:

  • Unlimited minor repair benefits offset frequent stone chip damage

   For other owners, consider long-term ownership costs against potential risks. Tesla's productization of this high-frequency service need awaits market validation for balancing user costs with business efficiency.
