Could be. Seagulls are known to try and steal stuff like bags and purses. Could have picked up something and dropped it when it was overhead

It's probably going to cost around $2k. It's of course much thicker than the windshield. The crack is not that noticeable unless I look up 🤣I'll probably get it changed next month

Funny, you beat me to it. I was going to say the same thing. I actually love my sun shade for my pano roof and will probably keep it on in the winter here.

I don't have an Arizona sun or harsh summers here, so I'm good

Man I have to say, all this maintenance on my Tesla's is taking a toll

So I just found out if you tap your phone just under the pilar camera (same place you tap your key card), the car will unlock. Tap it again and car will lock. If you tap it on the charging pad (2024 Model 3 and on), you can "start" the car. I'm guessing it's using NFC as occasionally a BT connection will fail and you have to restart BT on your phone. I verified this by turning BT completely off

Try it. Turn off BT on your watch and see if it works

Make sure the screen is on. It doesn't have to be unlocked. That's my case at least. Check NFC is on

will try one more time, but maybe it's different for the fruit phone vs your android.
