In a heavy rainstorm the other night, with poor visibility, I managed to make the bonehead move of running my 2023 Model Y up onto a concrete median. Fortunately, it wasn't very high and had sloped edges, but I did hear and feel a substantial thud. Inspecting the undercarriage the next day, I noticed I had ripped out a jagged piece (about 2 x 6 inches) of the central plastic undercarriage cover, right about where it meets up with the front plastic cover, along the centerline of the vehicle. A steel tubular bar that was under the cover was scratched. I assume that bar is there to protect the battery from idiots like me and did its job accordingly. My question is, how important is that plastic undercarriage cover? Do I need to have the whole thing replaced, have a patch put over the hole, or just leave it like it is? My thinking is that it's there to prevent road debris from reaching the battery and the hole should at least be patched. I made an appointment with a local Tesla certified collision shop so they can take a look at it, but they can't get me in until the end of February. I'll be fretting over it until then and will probably at least cover the hole with some duct tape for my own peace of mind. Any thoughts, other than about my bad driving? I have attached a couple of pictures. They're not great, but it was the best I could do without putting the vehicle on a lift.
