Just sharing some pictures of the gravel damage to my Model X from our winter trip up through Bend OR. The damage is to the lower black plastic trim just in front of both rear tires. Strange, I thought there would be more damage just behind the rear or front tires but those areas look ok. Luckily I had PPF and even though it's pretty torn up it doesn't look like it went through to the paint.
It's been a long while since I drove in winter conditions and noticed the gravel is now crushed red lava rock. The pieces are small and very jagged/sharp. Maybe that's why it tears through the plastic instead of bouncing off with a smooth impression.
