Well, this happened…

I was doing a delivery and had just turned around the corner.

I saw a construction barrier and noticed space after it, so I pulled in to park.

I DID NOT see the second barrier, which was laying on its side, partially on the curb with its sharp legs sticking out.

My guess is somebody drove into it and knocked it over, bending one of the legs. And someone else moved it to the curb, but leaving it sticking out instead of completely (safely) on the sidewalk. While I can’t fault them for leaving it sticking out instead of blocking the sidewalk, I wish they had moved it right next to the other barrier so it would be much harder to hit it. Unless it was intentional.

Could have been worse i guess but still not great.
New bumper and new rim, places like autorimshop/wheel collision have the MYP wheels for like 299 shipped & i recall someone here saying you can get a painted bumper from tesla but another said they are cracking down on that

Good luck!

I had something simular with my 20" induction rims. Just after 3 days of owning the car... that did hurt lol.

Spot repair did the trick Costed me around 100 euro's. Cant see a thing anymore,

No way in the world i'm replacing the rim for that. Touch it up and you'll forget about it until you scratch the rims at some other point in time

I have repaired the rims on our car a number of times. Fine files, wet sand, mix correct color..no that hard. ( depending on background I suppose. Furniture maker, colorist, etc. for many years. But I figure if I can do it, anyone can..)

I bought a Zink rim repair kit for the wheels, since I curbed another two wheels a while back, so I'll likely do all three wheels at the same time.

As for the bumper... not sure what to do about it... maybe just sand it flat and use some touch up paint to hide it as best I can... though it does look like I pushed pretty hard against the metal to make a depression, so we'll see.

If I'm not feeling lazy as I usually am.
