    For the cybertruck? The design of the others are mostly reasonable, I would assume every replacement part for the cybertruck is much more expensive since it’s so fucking ridiculous. I’ve never had to replace a windshield fortunately so I don’t know how much they normally cost.

      ‘mostly reasonable’ they integrate into the roof glass and their shape makes them 10x the price of a new windshield

      I can get a replacement for a 2010 Ford for about 200$

        You might have misread, nothing about the cybertruck is reasonable, the other models are mostly reasonable. $200? Good to know.

            Ah ok, maybe I’m misreading then. Are you saying the roof glass for the other models is very expensive? The windshield on the other models seems pretty generic.

              Yes, the design in the model X, Y, and S are all unnecessarily fancy and expensive, coupled with slow production and supply chains.

              The cyber truck is just taking those problems and exacerbating them

                Yeah the roof glass probably should have been optional. The X is pretty silly, after the cybertruck I think the X is the next most ridiculous. Your only SUV is the only car you make that isn’t compatible with a roof rack? Really? I like the S, it’s fancy and expensive but it’s a luxury sedan and is absurdly fast, it’s allowed to be fancy. The Y and the 3 are mostly the same car. The glass roof is neat but unnecessary and should have been an option. Also, I’m not sure which years/models have it but I think most/all if the newer models have that double wall glass to keep noise down. Not sure how much cost that adds but that could have been an option too.
