Hey I’m not rotten! Just unlucky.
lol funny enough this is much more expensive to service then my Ferrari
A tiny idiotic rock chip has turned into an absolute nightmare.
I took a rock chip coming back from Porsche Palooza '23 - my dealer told me it would be over 11K to repair so I said screw it, I'll live with the star.
A month or two ago, the star spread into a full blown crack. My insurance company has only paid for a fraction of the repair and (so far) has refused to adjudicate the remainder of the claim (which is now 14K!)
My insurance company sucks, but honestly this is straight stupid. There is no planet where it should cost this much to replace a piece of glass.
Meanwhile my car has been in the shop for two weeks and hasn't even been looked at.
The whole thing has me so sour on Taycan in general, my insurance company, and the world.

Maybe I am misrembering, but I thought there was a flurry of posts about glass roofs cracking spontaneously, some soon after delivery. Something about uneven pressure being exerted on the glass from the fit or the installation. And the cost is higher with the adjustable tint glass.
I visit CA every few years to meet up with friends. The traffic, crazy prices and oh yea, the traffic are reasons enough for me to look forward to leaving. My home state has comparable weather and beaches so CA holds no allure there. I do wish I lived in CA once a year, for ComicCon but, I get over it.
The solid roof tends to be structurally weaker than most glass roofs. The actual metal roof is a thin sheet of aluminum, with some soft padding for heat and noise insulation. You do get some support ribs, but no "solid armor" as you'd imagine. When Tesla switched from solid roofs to all glass, they published a bunch of regulatory tests showing the crushing tests of both, with glass being significantly stronger against crushing (took significantly higher pressure to crush the car).
You could save yourself a lot of time / money by just coming down to Austin as the Californians eventually do. ?

That says nothing about glass roof being covered.This sounds like a real pain....
I hastily checked my insurance small print and found I'm quite clearly covered.
Please stop with this. I'm leaving Texas and I'm never moving back.
It's just people trying to derail this thread into a political debate, and I'm not taking the bait.
