1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2025

Windshield cracked due to defrosting; yes available for inspection upon request. If the windshield shatters due to defrosting this is serious safety risk and what can happen while driving is limited less. Vehicle was inspected by Tesla located in peabody, massachusetts and the representative stated they are aware, and this is why they tell customers to warm the vehicle up before turning on defrosting, in all the vehicles I've owned windshield cracking from defroster being on has never happened or been an issue. Also through research I found other Tesla owners have experienced similar. No there were no warnings of this happening outside of reading other Tesla owners experiencing this similar situation.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/17/2021

There is a windshield defect on my vehicle but check the boards, it is a common problem. The windshield has a mottling defect which is not obvious in normal light but - drive into the sun and suddenly you are blinded. It must be a known situation as the boards report this on many different models. We have owned a prior Tesla x so it is not us getting used to the car, it is a defect.
