The highest quote was a 2018 Tesla Model S 4 Door Hatchback at $571; the lowest was a 2017 Tesla Model S 4 Door Hatchback at $501.

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