At the top of the range was a 2023 Tesla 3 4 Door Sedan ($596); at the bottom, a 2024 Tesla 3 4 Door Sedan ($516).

What changes the price for a Tesla 3
- Tesla Autopilot camera. Tesla’s manual says the camera calibration must be cleared and re-run after a windshield replacement and recommends Tesla Service for the job, so plan on a calibration line item for a 3 with a forward camera cluster mounted behind the windshield.
- Age of the car. Older 3 models (2017–2019) average $597 in our table against $526 for 2023–2025.
- Separate calibration fee. If your 3 has a windshield camera, the recalibration is a line of its own; this guide gives typical prices.

Tesla 3: repair or replace?
A chip smaller than a quarter or a crack shorter than about three inches can usually be repaired — faster and far cheaper than a full replacement. Replacement is the safer choice when the damage is longer than a dollar bill, sits in the driver’s line of sight, reaches the edge of the glass (which weakens the whole windshield), or goes through both layers. A qualified shop can confirm which option your Tesla 3 qualifies for.
Does insurance cover a Tesla 3 windshield?
Whether insurance covers your Tesla 3 windshield depends on your comprehensive coverage and deductible. A few states require insurers to waive the glass deductible entirely, and some insurers waive it for small chip repairs. See our guides to states with zero deductible for comprehensive glass claims and states with glass endorsement coverage to check the rules in your state.
