Scratches/marks on the underside, 2023 M3RWD

[Dannon319]

Hi folks
I happened to be looking under my M3RWD earlier and noticed (what look like) scratches/marks on the underside. Vehicle is 2 weeks old with approx 500miles on the clock.

Screencaps below, these are adjacent to the drivers side (UK) front suspension. Any thoughts on whether a service visit is required? As an aside, when I approach 70MPH there is a ‘flapping’ noise coming from what sounds like the drivers wheel well or close by. Might be unrelated.

Forgot to mention, the car hasn’t had any scrapes or scuffs since I picked it up so I’m guessing these were pre-collection.

500miles is a lot of miles and 2 weeks is pretty far beyond delivery for reporting delivery issues. Tesla generally covers delivery issues if car has under 100 miles and reported within a few days of delivery.

Can't really tell from your pictures, but if they are only on the aero shields, then that is all just cosmetic and won't affect anything, given those plastic shields are only there to direct air. If it's on the battery pack metal shell, if it's shallow, it would also be cosmetic. If the dent is very deep, then it might be a cause for concern. From the pictures the markings look quite shallow and might even just be paint or some staining material that can be washed off.

That doesn't even look like scratches, looks like some splashes of dried dirt lol.

Just give the area a pressure wash and get on with your day. Even if they're scratches it doesn't affect anything.
