Consumer Description

Distortion within windshield. Appears to be manufactured this way. Employee within service center is a typical problem. Upon check-in the service writer even noticed it. I got a message from service later advising vehicle is ready to be picked up and the windshield is within Tesla specs. How can something that distracts a driver within the windshield be within specs and how is Tesla not liable if it causes driver distraction or even a collision and they refuse to fix?
