Owner's description

While vehicle was driving on FSD at approximately 75 mph on freeway, the vehicle in front of me kicked up a small piece of tire trend. the piece of tire hit the headlight and shattered the glass on the headlight assembly, while not damaging any other part of the car. I have owned quiet a few cars from all makes including another Tesla however it seems this cannot be normal for the headlight assembly to shatter with such a small piece of rubber. I have tried to reach out to Tesla but they of course refuse any possibility of defect with Model Y headlight assembly so I wanted to submit this incident in hope that if enough people have experienced similar incident with their headlight assembly it would be recalled
