Introduction
Tesla has introduced a game-changing Windshield Protection Plan in June 2025, offering US owners an affordable way to safeguard their vehicles’ front windshields. Priced from $12/month, this subscription addresses a common pain point for Tesla drivers, especially those in urban or highway-heavy areas. While currently US-only, plans for expansion to Canada and Mexico make it a promising option for future European owners.
Plan Overview
The Windshield Protection Plan is available exclusively in the US, with Tesla planning to roll it out to Canada and Mexico soon. Owners must enroll within 30 days of taking delivery of a new or used Tesla or within 30 days of paying for a windshield replacement at a Tesla service center. A complimentary vehicle inspection, expected to start in July 2025, will also qualify vehicles for the plan, broadening eligibility (Windshield Protection).
Subscription Costs
Monthly fees vary by model: $12 for Model 3 and Model Y, $15 for Model S, and $23 for Model X. The Cybertruck is excluded due to its costly windshield replacement, which exceeds $2,300. These prices make the plan accessible for most Tesla owners, offering significant savings compared to out-of-pocket repair costs.
Coverage Benefits
The plan provides comprehensive coverage, including one free front windshield replacement every 12 months using Tesla OEM glass, with no deductible. Additional replacements incur a $100 co-pay, and unlimited chip and minor crack repairs are included. This ensures Autopilot camera calibrations are maintained, preserving Tesla’s advanced safety features, a key concern for owners.
Enrollment Process
Owners can subscribe through the Tesla App by navigating to Upgrades > Service Plans > Windshield Protection. Alternatively, enrollment will be available at Tesla service centers once the complimentary inspection program begins. Timely enrollment is critical, as missing the 30-day window could exclude owners until the inspection option is available.
Owner Benefits
Windshield damage is a frequent issue for Tesla owners, with replacements often costing over $1,000. The plan offers peace of mind, particularly for urban drivers facing road debris or highway commuters prone to cracks. By covering repairs and ensuring OEM quality, it saves money and maintains vehicle functionality, making it a smart choice for US owners and a future boon for Europeans.
Conclusion
Tesla’s Windshield Protection Plan is a cost-effective solution for US owners, with expansion plans promising future benefits for Europeans. Check your eligibility in the Tesla App today—how could this plan simplify your Tesla ownership experience?
