18TM3LR Missing small circular piece underneath fog lamp. Is it a USS parking sensor?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I hit a branch on the road and my park assist feature got disabled. Upon checking, I noticed a small circular piece on the lower right side of the bumper is missing. I have of course been googling (and youtubing), and looking at schematics trying to find what this piece is called so I can order a replacement. But so far I have only come accross the USS parking sensor.

From most sites and videos, the parking sensors are only shown to be the 2 middle ones close to the tag. The missing pice on mine is underneath the fog lamp. Can anyone help me identify this please? Thank you.

Yes that is your parking sensor that has likely fallen in (mine did as well).

I removed my frunk and reached in there and ended up using gorilla glue to put it back in. It is kind of a pain to do, but can be done. If you plan on doing it yourself (and not having Tesla do it), I suggest you use a mixture of hot glue and some silicone (hot glue to hold it temporarily while the silicone dries).

This is the video I used to help me get it done.
 
Thank you AS9.9., for confirming that it is also a parking sensor.
I did actually watch that video plus a couple others before I asked here. Those videos only showed repairs on the middle parking sensors, and I could not find references to the front-side part like I showed in my picture.
