What happens if you smash the screen of a Tesla Model 3 while driving?
The answer to this depends on the extent of damage and whether it was caused by an accident or vandalism.
If it is just a crack in the screen, there is a chance that it can be repaired without having to replace the entire display panel.
This would involve removing the broken pieces of glass and installing a new one. However, if it has been shattered or smashed beyond repair,
then you will have to replace the whole unit which could cost upwards of $2,000.
Moreover, a damaged screen could make it difficult for the driver to operate some functions such as media controls and autopilot. Even worse,
driving with no visual input at all can put both you and other drivers at risk. Therefore, it's best to get the display panel replaced as soon as possible.
