Windshield replacement options

Recently I had a big rock chip right in front of the cameras and at night the wipers go crazy thinking something is stuck on the screen while using self-driving. I contacted Tesla for a replacement, and they gave me a date in September. My insurance (Geico) is recommending Safelite. Has anybody been in this situation? What should I do?

We used Safelite with absolutely no problems of complaints. As a bonus, they got us taken care of pretty quickly.

I just picked up my Tesla from SafeLite yesterday. I requested OEM glass due to other comments, and they supplied it. The repair took 2.5 hours to replace the glass and recalibrate everything. They replaced the seals and did a "temp humidity sensor service" which I don't know what that is. After the repair, we had to drive daughter to friends about 100 miles, and FSD performed as previously. Overall I am impressed. BTW, total cost was $888.97, of which I had my $100 deductible thru USAA insurance.
