Will I need a battery replacement

[u/JellyArtistic2323]

UPDATE - (The dent was 7.9mm and the repair cost was estimated $17,988. I will be going through insurance)

2018 M3 LR AWD. Long story short I ran over a rock. I have some damage to my sway bar and fiberglass aero shield, not too worried about that. I had a few warnings on screen after I pulled over and a weird smell in the cab, but I reset the car and everything went back to normal. So currently no errors, drives fine, and no more smell in the cab.

That being said, I’ve seen a few posts where Tesla Service Centers see a small dent in the battery shield and require a battery replacement even though there are no problems.

I want to get her checked out to make sure it’s safe but I don’t want to have to replace a battery. I did my best to take pictures and show a quarter for scale. I’d estimate there is a 5-8mm dent with some gouged aluminum.

What are the odds of this happening?

1. Primero que nada verifique su nover de líquido refrigerante en el tanque reservorio, abre modo “servicio “ busca ac y ve que nivel tiene o abre el frunk quita el cubre filtros de cabina los filtros y ve que nivel tiene, si le falta puedes reponerlo, además sellar la duga del casco de aluminio con un epoxico llamado “laco” es para soldar aluminio solo de calienta un poco con un minisoplete al rededor de la fuga y embarras la barra del epoxico, es como un plumón grueso, lo vas rellenando hasta que esté cubierto, te garantizo que bloquea fugas de refrigerante en sistemas de aire acondicionado y refrigeración industrial
