Question Regarding... Driving Over a Curb

[ACRei]

Hello,

I have my brakes set to creep. I thought I gave the Model 3 enough time to stop in a parking slot, but in the end, no. It went over a curb (slightly).

Worry wort me, I wanted to see if there was any damage.
From the front, you can see that the bumper itself didn't make any contact;

It was just the aeroshield in the front.

The curb was white, and it looks like the paint it left on the aeroshield is the same:

May I please ask - is there any threat or harm when it comes to an experience like this, namely driving over a curb? I see the perforations on the aeroshield, I'm assuming that's the external speaker. Would the aeroshield protect the gear & the technology it's in front of, even on a slight impact like this? Would you suggest bringing it to Tesla for an inspection?

Thank you all for your patience

Looks fine to me. I think you're OK.

Looks fine to me. I think you're OK.

Thanks, @Soul Surfer . I think it is to. This is more for due diligence, but I appreciate your reassurance.

By chance, does anyone have a diagram, or video of what the '22 M3 looks like behind those speaker grill perforations? I think those are for the pedestrian warning system, but that really is my biggest concern - whether the tech behind that part of the aeroshield could be harmed by this type of experience.

Probably fine but a SC visit to confirm wouldn't hurt.

You're fine, the cars are not made of fine china.

I'd say the curb suffered a worse fate than your car
