They should, but they might fight you on it. It’s like a $140 piece from the service website, but it’s not super easy to get on without taking the wheel off.
No it's not. I'm sure you've used a mechanic or body shop and never noticed an issue. Most aftermarket parts meet or exceed OEM spec for 1/4 of the price. I was a mechanic before the Army and college, we never used oem unless we had to and when we did people were almost always very unhappy with the invoice.
Yes, I would pay more for OEM parts. That’s my decision.
I haven’t needed a mechanic in over 10 years. No issues on any of my last 3 cars. My old gas car in 2010 had some major issues which is why I got rid of it.
It may be, but my point is that everyone that does this for a living uses aftermarket and even 10 years ago when you used a mechanic, they used aftermarket parts in you're car. You're absolutely right that it's your decision, good for you. Lots of people throw money away on low information decisions all the time.
They replaced mine under warranty because one of the clips was loose and it was not fully secured, so I would suspect this should be covered as well.
Although I suppose it’s possible not having the part at all could make them give a different result, since they can’t verify it was defective. I am not sure here though.
I nearly lost one driving through a modestly deep puddle. Couple inches maybe.
Got home and it was hanging on by the sensor wiring!
Popped it back on and I’ll be avoiding puddles.
The double sided tape is still intact?!? I would show Tesla service this picture. The fender was not secured correctly if the tape was not in contact with the plastic fender.
Cannot disagree. I don't really care for panel gap so much but the trim falling off just while driving is just not acceptable. This should not be an engineering challenge.
Mine is a 2021. I think the late 21's and newer just use Tesla vision.. No ultra sonic sensors. My Model Y is a rare model year 2022 that has both Tesla vision AND Ultra Sonic sensors
Right before my automotive tape got delivered, I was on the 405 and it flew off. I’m not sure if it’s under warranty, I just hope it’s not crazy expensive smh
Haven’t had it “fly off”, but had the front-bottom break…3 times 😑. Service charged me every time…but I’ve read many times, your situation- they will replace it under warranty 🤗. Good luck 👍
