This does seem pretty obvious. Or at least bend the front edge of the skid up a little. Except for this issue I'd buy one today for my Md Y. Every car eventually grinds over something.
This is a very good thing to have installed for anyone abusing their Tesla even just a little bit. Good idea from MPP and your collaboration with them has been great. Sweet video, Brian.
How about including a strip of aluminium with nuts welded on that can sandwich the plastic section,so you don’t get the splinter back in? It would only need to be 2 or 3 inches wide and span from the 2 widest bolts and incorporate the 2 centre bolts.
We were on the tail end of a 3000 mile road trip, the corner of our Model 3s skid plate tore. I’m assuming high speeds and a loose bolt were to blame. It dragged on the ground and duct tape did not hold long. We pulled over to retape every hour. Tesla replaced it for free and met us at a supercharger same day (which was super cool). This plate is something I’ll have to look at. Click bait click bait!
It is 2020. Nothing special about laser cutting now. I don't off road in my Model 3 Performance - Nevertheless, I hit a ladder in the middle of the interstate at 70 mph when the car was a month old - no chance to avoid it! it resulted in some paint damage and some scrapes underneath. It could have been so much worse. I will look into this product. Thank you
My model 3 has been in the shop two weeks after going over a metal object on the road, which punctured my skid plate and my battery. I have pictures. Battery is being replaced, plus the skid plate, cost $16k.
I knew it was before I watched the video, but still watched till the end. I still would have watched it if the title was "New Skidplate Might Save You $20,000!
Whenever I buy my Tesla... I'll be sure to have these parts waiting at home for an install, along with lifting pucks, maybe the entire low profile portable car hoist, floor mats. This is such cheap insurance for something that could happen at any time. Not gonna chance it. Little extra weight... who really cares? People carry around a few pounds of junk in their car all the time and think nothing of it. We're not in Formula 1... this is just a regular car.
I just ordered one for our model 3, but here is something else. Maybe you should write them about making one for the front undercover that goes up to the bumper. This is the leading edge which is also sloped upward towards the front and is more susceptible to damage and items hitting there.
I have been worried about this with driving over chunks of ice that fall off trucks wheels on the highway. About 20 years ago I had it puncture a stock belly pan on a VW TDI and crack the oil pan. luckily I stopped right away, but I have run over ice chunks to many times to count and the Telsa 3 isn't that tall to safely run over them....
You should think of protecting actual people. High cabin radiation is a concern. Newer Toyota and Lexus hybrids and Nissan electric seem to have a better shield over the electric components keeping cabin radiation low. Audi and Tesla are one of the highest. EV buyers are often health conscious. It is easy to shield with metallic sheets but they won't factory install until it becomes a widespread concern as usual. Maybe you can invent a metallic floor shield to go over the electric cables and over the battery.
@A N Other It's not really built for it, of course can be upgraded like Brian did but at best even he admits it's for 'overlanding' not off road really. Dirt roads.
Good video and idea for it like you every car can use a slight improvement. I do also think the skid plate needs some slight improvement so sticks don't in like that. Overall I would buy one for sure! 👍 #clickbate lol just kidding 😂

Great video. Bad design of the skid plate, IT should go UNDER the front bumper plastic, this should push down any derby. down on my list to do.
2nd that

It keeps customers coming to Tesla to buy parts or a new Tesla that’s why it is designed like that.

Great find, Brian.
It might make sense to insert this skid plate below the plastic to minimize the debris flow in between.
How about including a strip of aluminium with nuts welded on that can sandwich the plastic section,so you don’t get the splinter back in?
It would only need to be 2 or 3 inches wide and span from the 2 widest bolts and incorporate the 2 centre bolts.
Can you create a video about what maintenance/clean up should be done after overlanding?

It's a plate but as shown in this video, it is t a skid plate.
We ma skidplate upfront and then have it overlap this plate
No, "the only good way to jack the car up" is with an ezlift. It will get our Y almost 2 ft high security. Well worth the money
When the CYBERTRUCK comes out. you should get one.
Lol, I remember when he saw it at unveiling and called it a rolling dumpster... He's not real fond of the look I don't think!

insurance covering it?
@@ericy.2108 they are, I’m insured w Tesla Insurance, just paying my deductible
@@TheBfritsch I wish Tesla Insurance was available in more states!
@@ericy.2108 they kinda had to, all the others were ripping us up big time
Did you have a metal skid plate?
I watched to the end....this is Clickbait... .
LOL - great vid Brian!

This is not clickbait, this much clickbait is legal in TH-cam 😂
My Model 3 has been in the shop for over a month because the bumper flew off in a large puddle 😔. Hope they make the rear plate soon.

What is the thickness?

The plate might need a lip on the back to add more protection
Good skid plate how would this affect the crush zone in an accident?
Yesss I want this for the 3 fo sho
I don't understand why this fault skid plate wouldn't be covered under the Lemon Law.
Grassy Tesla
But no definitely not dirtier than me ;)
I'll order 5 skid plates for Ashley's number!
But they Tesla said you breaks your warrantee if you modify this plate yourselves. (Even though theirs really sucks) correct?
No
Good vidéo ! Thanks ! I will looking for that on model 3
is the bolt pattern the same for a model 3 and y?
I watched to the very end and I claimed the $100.00 prize!
^ this comment is clickbait ^
I had to do the same thing for my subaru forrester so this isnt just a tesla thingy
The car can know when the battery coolant is low
6:48 Is this a challenge?
The skid plate is weak and needs to be stronger for off roading....
Elon musk: 🤔Write that down! write that down!
My car actually had the battery struck by road debris causing $25K in damages. Too bad I got this after the matter
Same thing happened to my Model 3
@@Someonegreatca I’m getting a custom skid plate for my 3. Dm me for details
@@calvinwu8722 Please tell me more
Off-road? I can barely get over speed bumps lol
The model y is also in no way whatsoever any type of off-road vehicle. Not even close.
Any carbon fiber option ? - include a nicer looking rear diffuser when you are at it :-) - keep up the good work
This is another design flaw from Tesla.
I don't see you designing anything so yeah STFU
Sold out
fixed
World record clickbait
LANGUAGE!

Off roading in a Tesla?😧
Soon to see lots of it with Cybertruck!

No way to my Tesla. Too bad.
Why are you 4-Wheeling a Tesla?’/?? What’s wrong with you people? Is that stick stuck in your head Brian?
