It's great that you post the video when it didn't came out good, because I'd probably do the same mistake, thank you very much., A pice of carboard on the freeway slamed my '17 Model S bumper and 10 seconds later I start getting 2 warnings, one on parking sensor and another in autopilot, I just disabled the emergency autobrake to avoid the to stop for no reason and cause an accident., and the service is not just expensive, the app sheduled me for about 40 days from today.
Some sheet metal flew out of a pickup and while it caused only minor scratches, it did dislodge the front sensor. I'm not a car buff but your video was super helpful, as well as the list of materials you provided. Fingers crossed!
seriously simple. cars aren't rocket science. they are just a bunch of parts and these parts aren't hard to get to or compromise your safety. You got this!
Wow I have the exact same car as you with the same front right sensor dislodged. I’m going to follow your lead on this one. This video was very helpful. My only question , do you think you could get away using VHB high bond tape to hold the tab on. Automotive grade. That could be a quick solution with little wait time. Once again I appreciate it and thank you very much for a great video.
Vhb is good stuff. I think that if your bumper is not going to press against it, it may be ok. The first time you scrape over a parking bumper, it may dislodge it again. The grinding made way better clearance. Let us know how it works for you.
Good deal, I did the job in 10 minutes after watching your video last night. I only took out the center cover panel , the right side bolt on top of it and the torx screw in the wheel well. Then just pryd it open and removed that mounting plate. Applied two big strips of VHB and reset it. Had it all back together in a few minutes. Turned out to be a huge help. I got a previous quote from Tesla and it was several thousand dollars. Once again I appreciate it.

Nice car and a nice job!
Thanks Herbert. I'm very impressed. Cheers!

Thank you for this video. It has given me the confidence to try the repair on my own.
You are welcome! Good luck!

If I saved you thousands of dollars, I think we had a success. Cheers! @@Gregorlione
I was watching and said that you should have put it all in at one time.
Yup. Learning as you go sometimes takes a bit longer. Cheers.
