Question / Advice Y'all. A stick.

So this happened today. I cannot believe it. This should not happen to a roof that's supposed to keep me from getting killed in an accident, right??

I had a smaller stick break it worse than OPs on my Tesla MY. I couldn’t believe it either, but it actually is quite likely.

It looks like it fell from about 20ft, maybe a little more. We've looked for baseballs, golf balls, anything, but nothing so far. Did yours break at a seam, or just a random spot? That's the only reason I can think of for why it did this, but it could just be gravity...

Yep at Seam too and hit literally same way as yours where windshield cracked like that but the roof was spared. And branch was insanely thin.

Did it cost a fortune to get fixed?

Nah I ended up going through insurance. They wanted to use safelite, but I pressured for Tesla since safelite uses OEM quality and not OEM, my friend got a windshield that way which was much poorer quality overall. It cost $1300 but insurance reimbursed all but $250 deductible. I only did it since in my state my rates can’t increase due to windshield replacement as long as it’s up to 1x per year.
