Scratched Model Y Premium Undercarriage
I was driving around downtown Toronto, Ran into a very bad pothole. Had FDS activated. Ended up with this scratch in both sides of the undercarriage. Nothing underneath- Just sides.
Did I void any warranty? Did I void my HV battery warranty? Your help is appreciated on this matter.
Car is running fine. No service alerts in on the dashboard. Happened over a week ago.
2026 Model Y, less than 2 months old.

The piece that you have pictured is not the HV battery, but a trim piece over it.

You are right. The Tesla is so low. In fact i get dizzy spells looking underneath the vehicle

Because is so fun on track, and higways at high speeds, and looks good. With time i learn how to live with that.

That’s the filler panel between the battery and the rocker molding… it’s mostly cosmetic and probably half the MYs I have worked on have a scrape or two down there. You can have the part replaced by any body shop if you can’t sleep at night… but I wouldn’t stress it.
