That sucks but speculation on here isn’t going to help. Go through your sentry recordings and see if you kind find something or ask people in the area if they have cameras

How is that “insulting”? Because YOU applied a tone on a post that didn’t need to be made?

This is definitely an impact, my guess would be a mower or weed whacker threw a pebble or rock and it hit your glass since you’re parked on the street.
Do you know if your complex uses a company to do their landscaping or anything like that? When this happened to me they had insurance to cover this and took liability for it.

Background looks like hedges and some landscaping at a townhouse/condo so I'd assume a landscaper hit a pebble with a weed eater.

I mean it’s clear they are not being respectful, you can jump though all the mental hoops you want to justify it.

The initial post is dumb, what do you think aimless speculation achieves? More importantly, why do you think how YOU apply the tone of a word is the correct one?
ScottRoberts79
2026-03-07 20:15
Someone hit your window. You’re lucky they stopped when they did.
Last I checked it’s a <$200 window if you DIY and it’s not that hard to do. I’ve done it.
Breezgoat
2026-03-07 20:16
So a dumb posts to some people deserves rude and disrespectful comments? No
I would hope the mod teams reads it and delete it as it clearly a violation of a rule one.

Yeah most def! Unfortunately the only recording is my self walking up to it and seeing the damage 🤣

Definitely an impact from an object from outside the car. Is there anything on the ground near the side of the car? This is something that would be covered by your insurance
the_fonzz_61
2026-03-07 20:25
Oh that’s badass! Maybe I can go that route I parked in front of another apartment complex. The weird thing is I parked it there at night. 9pm and came To my car at 9am in the morning. So I’m doubtful it was a landscapers because the grass isn’t freshly cut.

I interpret your posts as rude and disrespectful. They are clearly disrespectful to a helpful Redditor. It's also clear sarcasm and lighthearted humor is illegal and shouldn't be allowed here.

Can’t you hook up the usb to see the recordings where it didn’t detect someone? I believe it has a 12-24 hour buffer but I could be wrong on that, the clips you see is what it detects for motion but I don’t know how sentry pro works.

Look at the bright side, better your window than denting your door! A much cheaper and easier fix.
Sorry this happened to you!!

You don’t know that. Like others have said, it could have been a rock from a lawnmower or weed eater.

Hater or bad parenting? Looks like there are multiple hits. Agree very possible it was done purposely with bb gun sling shot etc.
ScottRoberts79
2026-03-07 20:35
Two hits right by each other? Physics and probability says it wasn’t a weed wacker. That pattern would be horizontal not vertical.
Plus those laminated windows are pretty tough. It takes quite the localized impact to do damage.

You can take out the usb stick and plug it in to your computer to see full footage. It’s always recording if sentry is on

2026-03-07 21:15
If I was to guess, someone tried to break into your car using one of these. Luckily for you, you have laminated dual layer front windows so they likely gave up after it didn't fall to pieces as they expected.
It only takes a second to hit it with this and I have had sentry fail to record events so possible this person was fast enough it didn't record anything.

OP stated they parked it at night in a comment. No one is mowing or weed eating over night.

I see. No one ever mows their lawn before 9am where you’re from?

That’s not laminated though. And once tempered breaks, the second hit would make the whole thing crumble.

It is laminated glass. They changed the Model 3 front windows to use laminated glass with the 2020 cars built after October and front and back windows on 2024+ refreshed models.
Based on this cars black window trim and door handle it is at least built after October 2020.
Guess you forgot to learn that.
It is listed on the emergency response guide: [https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/Model\_3\_Emergency\_Response\_Guide\_en.pdf](https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/Model_3_Emergency_Response_Guide_en.pdf)

Did you have anything of value visible in your car? I had someone break my car window and it took them like 5 times smashing it with a brick to get in. Then they jump kicked it 2-3 more times. When they threw the brick the first time and it didn't break, they paused like wtf.

Doesn't the picture showing the shatter pattern and impact point basically imply with zero uncertainty that the glass is both tempered and laminated?
audacs189
2026-03-08 15:13
I found one of my old cars like that. The culprit was a tiny rock projected by an edge trimmer from a guy who was doing lawn works in the proximity. Is there anyone with fresh cut grass around the car?
skippyjifluvr
2026-03-08 18:14
To the layman perhaps. Tempered laminated is extremely expensive and generally only used in areas where you want the glass to be extremely strong (tempered) but also to not crumble apart if it does break (laminated.) Tempered laminated is commonly used in frameless handrails like [this.](https://szdragonglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Aluminum-Glass-Balustrade-Systems-U-Channel-Frameless-Glass-Railing.jpg)
More than likely, this car is old enough that it has tempered door glass, but also has an aftermarket tint film. The film is helping the glass hold its shape.
the_fonzz_61
2026-03-09 20:15
No :( I kinda wish there was freshly cut grass so I could just say yes lol. But where I parked the grass has not been mowed for like at least a week.

ELITE COMMS CHAT! Thanks!! my car is currently at Tesla getting repaired for roughly 5 days. Once I get it back I’ll plug it in asap! I didn’t know it records the entirety of it. Sucks how I can’t access that unless I plug it into a computer
the_fonzz_61
2026-03-09 20:28
Yeah 100% the tint was holding it all together! As I was driving it to Tesla to get it replaced every hard bump for the 20 min drive I would hear the glass fall down into the door card. 🤣
InternationalAsk9845
2026-03-09 20:29
Has sentry been on while being repaired? I believe due to the size of usb storage it only store a finite amount of minutes of recording, so it may have overwritten if it’s been on
the_fonzz_61
