Model Y cracked rear reflector.

[10pc Nuggets]

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can order a rear bumper reflector? For whatever reason, it cracked and I can't seem to find out how it happened.

Thanks in advance!

My daughter hit mine with a shovel and cracked it. You can go in through the Tesla app and chose other service. Then tell them the part that you need and they will look it up for you. Including a picture helps. It was pretty cheap and mobile service popped it in for me while I was at work.

Thank you so much for the info! Hopefully she doesnt take a shovel near the car anymore haha. So the Model Y rear reflector is just popped in? They don't need to remove the bumper?

Thanks again!

I was so happy she only hit the reflector. Yeah it just pops right in. It took the service tech less than a minute to do it and most of that time was him opening the package.

Same issue here. My wife just backed into something and broke the rear deflector.
Got I quote from Tesla today: part $30, mobile service labor $168 total $200.70.
Seems a bit expensive, now that I read that it will only take them a minute to install.

Not really. Labor includes time travel between SC and your location. And any warranty, and cost of equipment, etc. Sounds reasonable if you are the service person, assuming you want to be paid a living wage.

Ended up just ordering the part through the service center, picked it up and installed it myself. Once you break the red reflector piece the black bracket holding it can be bend and comes out rather easy. Replacement pops right in.

Someone just hit the bumper and broke the reflector on left side. It seems easy to replace, Can I order the left reflector from Tesla and how long will it take?

Post #2, post #8...both answer your question.

Is Tesla Y reflector same as Tesla 3?

How do you order the part from the service center? We have one in Buenapark, CA.

How far are you from a SC? I find that a personal visit is quicker and more reliable than online communication with Tesla.

Thanks so much for your replied. I am not to far away, I can swing by tomorrow to one of the SC in Costa Mesa.

I'm thinking of replacing that reflector with the lights.

Well that WOULD be expensive!

Agreed. $200.70 to replace the reflector is very expensive. It is a minute job to snap the reflector back.

Weird, they didn't charge me anything to install mine. I had it delivered to my house and I happened to be outside they he pulled up. He offered to throw it in for me.
It's really easy to do, so you could just request the part to be delivered.

Based on the photo, I'd be tempted to ignore it. It's down so low, you don't see it every time you walk up to the car.

I know, but I have my OCD every time I look at it.
