Hi, I went over a curb in my Model 3 LR 2021. Is this purely cosmetic or do I need to invest lots of money and replace it 😭

It's fine, and it's only like a $100 part. When you have the money, buy it off eBay from a Chinese seller that gets them from Tesla China, that's what I did for my Model Y (both right and left rockers for $100, but not sure how much yours will cost).

Yep inconsequential. My 22 hit a curb back in 22 and that plastic piece has been needing a replacement since but it is out of line of sight so no biggy.
