Tesla Launches Economical Windshield Insurance Policy within American Territory
The American electric vehicle giant, Tesla, has introduced a new Windshield Protection Plan for its Model 3 and Model Y owners in the United States. The plan, which went live in June 2025, offers cost-effective protection for those who do a lot of driving in areas prone to rock damage.
The monthly subscription for Model 3 and Model Y owners is set at an affordable $12 USD, providing coverage for unlimited chip and crack repairs and one full windshield replacement per year at no additional cost. This comprehensive coverage makes the plan an attractive option for new vehicle owners, especially those who wish to guard against unexpected expenses and avoid out-of-pocket costs.
Existing Tesla owners can enroll in the plan starting July 20, 2025, with a vehicle inspection required to qualify. However, Canadian Tesla owners are yet to benefit from this plan, as it has not been launched in Canada. There is no official release date announced yet, and the plan has not appeared on Canadian Tesla accounts or apps as of mid-2025.
The pricing for the plan varies depending on the vehicle, with Model S coverage priced at $15/month and Model X at $23/month. Compared to the cost of a windshield replacement for Model S and Model X, which is priced at $1,238 and $1,248 respectively (before labor and calibration fees are factored in), the annual subscription fee of $144 for Model 3 and Model Y owners is significantly lower.
Tesla has integrated the enrollment process for the Windshield Protection Plan into the Tesla mobile app, making it easy for U.S. owners to subscribe directly from their phones. For Canadian Tesla owners interested in this plan, it is advisable to monitor Tesla updates and the Tesla app for any announcements regarding the Canadian rollout in the future.
In summary, the Tesla Windshield Protection Plan is now available for U.S. owners, offering comprehensive coverage for windshield damage at an affordable price. However, Canadian Tesla owners will have to wait for an official announcement regarding the launch of this plan in their region.
