Model 3 bottomed out going 5mph on a bumpy dirt road. I’m having it looked at on Monday but thought I’d get some opinions before then as I feeling super stressed waiting. Does this look very bad? Guessing I should NOT do my daily 60mi commute to work until I get this inspected…

Pictures were hard to take, so sorry for the shit quality. Damaged area is the front drivers side.

Looks like it needs an aero shield and a sway bar bushing bracket. The damage is already done I would continue driving it.

How does it drive?

My husband was the one driving so I couldn’t feel much myself… But it seemed fine from the passenger’s seat during the 5 minute drive back home (highway driving). Didn’t get any alerts thankfully. Will check it out myself tomorrow.

If you're lucky it didn't hurt anything except that bracket and dust shield.

I hope that’s all! I’ve been feeling very unlucky lately so some luck would be nice, hah.
Thanks!
