Tesla S Windshield Replacement Cost
Auto Glass Estimator’s latest Tesla S windshield quotes ran $501–$571 across 9 windshield quotes (September 2026). The highest quote was a 2018 Tesla S 4 Door Hatchback at $571; the lowest was a 2017 Tesla S 4 Door Hatchback at $501. Newer Teslas carry Tesla Autopilot; its camera sits in the windshield and needs recalibration after replacement, so they price higher. Updated September 2026.

What changes the price for a Tesla S
- Driver-assist 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; on a S that means the Tesla Autopilot camera is reset after the new glass is bonded in.
- Age of the car. Older S models (2013–2015) average $581 in our table against $568 for 2021–2023.
- Separate calibration fee. If your S has a windshield camera, the recalibration is a line of its own; this guide gives typical prices.

Tesla S: 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 S qualifies for.
Does insurance cover a Tesla S windshield?
Whether insurance covers your Tesla S 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.
