Don't forget to run the heater and drive around so the squrl remnaments in the ducting dry out before they DK.

What's up with squirrels?!
Last week on a residential street, a squirrel ran to the middle of the road and stopped as I was approaching. So I slowed down in case it darted in front of me. It stayed put until I was even with it, then jumped in through the driver window, ran across and leaped out through the passenger window. Scared the snot out of my wife.

I think EVs are a lot more dangerous to animals because they are quiet. Most of the animals that would get on the road have better hearing than vision (including cats and dogs), so they don't get as much warning as they use to when an EV approaches. I've noticed most "incidents" myself since I got an EV. Fortunately, I've been able to avoid hitting any animals on the road. I always figure they won't move as soon as they use to.

I once hit a raccoon with my BMW M3 about 5-7 years ago. But it survived, it only hit the left side of the bumper so it wasn't a direct impact.
But too bad for the squirrel, it reminds me of my bunnies.

That's because our 'Joizy squirrels can eat your TX mini-squirrel's for lunch!

Teslas are louder than ICE cars, both interior a well as exterior noise.

Awww mannnn...that sux. Sorry to hear.What was the resolution on this OP? I had some road debris do a number to my grill today, looked like a piece of wood that fell off the truck in front of me.

The bumper is really easy to take off. There are videos on YouTube. Be especially careful with the clips under and next to the headlights. Take your sweet time or you will break them. Look up the parts on the catalog, search pics of them on eBay, and study them to see how things are put together so that you don’t have to buy more parts than you need to.
Is that why pedestrians never hear when I'm coming up behind them? I disagree completely.
a cat darted out and hit the side in front of the front wheel last night. It seemed to have survived and ran off. I get that Tesla’s are way quieter than ice cars, but with animals having better senses I’m surprised that road noise alone doesn’t register with them. Perhaps it’s learnt behaviour & they will slowly recalibrate what a car sounds like as more EVs hit the road
