Why Tesla Windshields Are More Vulnerable
Tesla vehicles are known for their advanced design—but that includes large, curved windshields that are:
- More exposed to rocks and road debris
- More expensive to replace (especially with Autopilot cameras)
- Difficult to repair due to sensor alignment
- Frequently out of pocket, since many chips are not covered by warranty
Replacing a Tesla windshield can cost $1,000–$2,000+, depending on model and sensor calibration.

What Is ExoShield Windshield Protection Film?
ExoShield is a transparent, nanoceramic film designed to shield your windshield from impacts. It’s applied directly to the outside of your glass, creating a barrier that:
- Increases impact resistance by up to 6x
- Blocks 99.9% of UV rays
- Offers optical clarity with no haze
- Reduces stone chips, pitting, and scratches
It’s like PPF for your windshield—and it’s ideal for the Tesla’s premium glass panels.

Why ExoShield Is Perfect for Van Nuys Roads
Van Nuys and surrounding areas like Sherman Oaks, Encino, and North Hollywood are filled with:
- Construction zones
- High-speed freeway traffic (101, 405)
- Gravel and debris from side roads
- Hot, dry weather that stresses glass
These local conditions make windshield protection critical—especially on exposed Tesla windshields.
