I had this issue as well. Luckily my service guy covered it under good will. I think the problem was it was wet, and then I may have hit a ball. I don't know. repair was super simple, and they did it at my place.

I just had mine fixed under warranty. The tech said he'd check to see if it was impact damage to determine if warranty covers. He couldn't find impact dmg, replaced both front and mid aero shields no charge.I had this issue as well. Luckily my service guy covered it under good will.

I just discovered this undercarriage fabric tear yesterday. Have you guys heard any updates from Tesla to fix the flaw of chosen material? I wouldn't even use this fabric to line a trunk interior nevertheless have it exposed to the harsh elements via the undercarriage.

Same thing happened to me on Sunday morning.
Searched and found this huge thread.
Got a mobile appointment on Wed
Part Replacement is M3 MID AERO, LWRT(1104313-00-A) - $200
Labour - $105
Will reference the Service bulletin as this is clearly a design flaw and should be covered by warranty.
I was quoted $165 for the part, $35 for labor, 12.7 for tax, 212.7 total. I'm trying to fight for a warranty repair as well. I know two other ppl in CT that got this done under warranty.
Interesting to note my part # quoted is a -B and not the -A you mention above.
yeah if they make me pay for this I’m taping it with gorilla tapeI also got quoted 200 for this but they also said, really no need to get it done lol
funny thing is that's exactly what the mechanic said he would do if it was his car, and that's exactly what I did, lolyeah if they make me pay for this I’m taping it with gorilla tape
I've only had the car just over a month, and I also have this issue. We had a bad rain storm a few weeks ago, and after driving through a few "rivers" near my house I heard a light scraping sound. I thought maybe a branch was caught under the car, but when I looked under the car I saw this piece hanging. I scheduled a service appointment (which was today), and while the guy they sent was nice he said Tesla wouldn't cover it under warranty. I explained how I've never had another car do this before; how it's a month old, etc. He agreed with me that it was dumb; and while I mentioned the service bulletin that was put out for 17-18 models that didn't sway his opinion. I shook his hand and told him I wasn't going to pay $212 to replace it. So I guess I can't drive my tesla in the rain. Can't wait to see what happens in the snow (another reason I didn't pay to fix it). Clearly this issue wasn't resolved as I have a 2019 model. Good luck out there everyone.View attachment 471205

Update: New part as indeed B and got replaced under warranty. Had to show the TSB and had 2 managers look into it before proceeding with the repair.
New part is dated June 2019.. while mine was March 2018.
It seems to be more rigid and thicker from what I can tell.

Already in the works. Just expensive to produce on your own. Maybe by next year it'll happen.Looks only slightly better, still basically compressed fabric.
Considering the response, I'm surprised no one has come out with aftermarket replacements in plastic or titanium.
I think it's time to page @EVTuning EVannex RPM Tesla etc
