Hi all. Today was a sad day for me. I hit a piece of ... something ... laying on the highway, while changing lanes (at roughly 85km/h - slow speed zone).
The impact was very loud, with the sound coming from the underbody and the car felt like "jumping" a little.
This is the metallic piece in question (as captured by the cameras - I cannot attach mp4 files apparently):
This is the aftermath (I documented everything so I can present the case to Tesla service and the insurance).
Any opinions regarding what am I looking at in terms of service/replacement ? I have the summer vacation coming up in 6 weeks or so ... would be a bummer to have to rent a car.
Is it safe to drive it like this until the service visit if it did not burned up so far ?
