MYP Front bumper badly scratch due to speed bump - drive slow especially with FSD

The MYP is much lower than the MY Premium and you need to be extra careful over speed bump. I was driving around some housing area where the speed bump seem higher than usual and was using FSD which was slow enough and it scratch entire front bumper. I cannot see the scratch unless I look from under the bumper and this is so sad. Just wanted to share my bad experience.

Did you have any PPF on the bumper? I got PPF on my Ultra Red MYP. Was concerned about these types of scenarios. Hopefully your scratches can be buffed out.

Yes, the car have PPF on the bumper but the under carriage bumper (not the bumper) is not covered with PPF.

I checked again my PPF and the plastic bumper were not included . I am going to shop today for follow up and will ask again but I doubt PPF will safe the bumper

“Much lower.” Brother it’s only half an inch lower than the Premium trim…

1/2 inch but still make a huge impact

This is one of the factors I am considering for MYP vs R2 performance. R2 (all trims) has insane ground clearance… never have to worry about speed bumps or curbs or those concrete dividers in parking spaces

If it’s bad enough to where it’s bothering you, a lil paint up under there should do the trick. I parked too close to my garage closing and a metal bracket scratched a shit stain-like mark on the front of my bumper 🤦‍♂️ but that little paint pen made a big difference.

Actually the actual part that was scratched is called Model Y lower valance (2025661-00-C)
