# Tesla Introduces Affordable Windshield Protection Plan in the U.S.

> Tesla has launched a Windshield Protection Plan for U.S. owners, starting at $12/month for Model 3 and Model Y. The plan covers unlimited chip and crack repairs and one full windshield replacement annually. Additional replacements are available for a $100 deductible. Model S and Model X plans are priced at $15 and $23/month, respectively. New vehicle owners can enroll within 30 days of delivery, while existing owners can join starting July 20, 2025, after a vehicle inspection. This plan offers significant savings compared to the high replacement costs of Tesla windshields.

Tesla owners in the U.S. now have a new option to protect their vehicles from costly glass damage with the launch of the company’s new Windshield Protection Plan. Available directly through the Tesla app, the monthly subscription starts at just US$12 for Model 3 and Model Y owners and offers comprehensive coverage for an expensive part to replace on a Tesla.

The Windshield Protection Plan has yet to appear for Canadian owners, and follows the launch of another program exclusive to the U.S. – a monthly Extended Service Agreement (ESA).

According to Tesla, the new plan covers unlimited chip and crack repairs, and includes one full windshield replacement per year at no extra cost. For drivers who encounter more frequent damage, additional replacements are available for a US$100 deductible per incident. Pricing varies depending on the vehicle, with Model S coverage set at US$15/month and Model X at US$23/month.

The subscription is currently available for new vehicles within 30 days of delivery. Existing owners will have the chance to enroll starting July 20, 2025, though a vehicle inspection will be required to qualify.

Tesla has integrated the enrollment process into the Tesla mobile app. Users can simply update to the latest version of the app to view eligibility and subscribe directly from their phone.

At just $12 per month for the Model 3 and Model Y, the Tesla windshield protection plan will be a good deal for many owners, especially those who do a lot of driving in areas prone to rock damage. For example, at a cost of just US$144 per year, it would take more than 6 years of coverage to cover the cost of one windshield replacement, which on a Model 3 or Model Y can cost around US$900 for the part alone. Model S and Model X replacements are even more expensive, priced at US$1,238 and US$1,248 respectively—before labour and calibration fees are factored in.

For owners of newer Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, the plan is a cost-effective way to guard against unexpected expenses and avoid out-of-pocket costs that can easily exceed the annual subscription fee.
