Oh no. Sorry to hear that. No deer scenario can be saved by ANY camera. Been hit twice. One was a santa encounter experience free with galloping demon coming from the side onto my Mercedes and going airborne. They have good car tastes. ??
Ouch! Now have speed brake?!When I park in my driveway, I tried to park as close to the fence as possible so that my wife can get her car in and not give me shit about it.
The model s, it's always been pretty easy and I guess I'm not yet used to the truck even though I've had it for a month.
So today, I got a little too close to the fence and boy did it mess up the truck. We're not talking about running into the fence directly but trying to back up and then I got a little too close and then one of the panels got caught in the post and it really messed up the post but it bent as well. Check out the pictures.
Bear in mind that this is parking speeds, very low speed. Judging from the post, that's some serious damage so if this were a person, they'd be pretty messed up.
I tried to bend that panel back with my hands and it's impossible. I tried to pliers and it's impossible.
There's this dude that happens to have a body shop across the street from the co-working space where I go to and I'm going to go and see if he can bend it back in place enough to make it look normal again.
You could park next to something solid like a large metal pole, put a block of wood against the truck and use a hydraulic bottle jack against the pole pushing on the block and try to jack against it to see if that moves it back into position.
Aren't the panels welded onto the frame?
I would suggest taking the panel to a machine shop. They may have bending equipment hefty enough to do the job.When I park in my driveway, I tried to park as close to the fence as possible so that my wife can get her car in and not give me shit about it.

Totally agree this is needed. I have a model S and X and one additional thing I noticed is the front and rear view camera feeds depth perception is not as good. I still don’t truck the rear camera view in the Cybertruck when backing up.
The panels are clipped and glued onto the frame so they're actually reasonably easy to remove, or that's what I've been led to believe. I think the point is that I'm not going to be able to remove it, I'll need somebody who knows what they're doing to remove it but once it's removed, there is the possibility of flattening it out but it's not going to be factory perfect but I'm okay with that. I have a body shop here, that dude loves the cybertruck so I'm going to take it to him and see if he can give it a little more love.
Yes, to be honest with you, I was so carefully backing up and it was that time of the evening where the sun is coming down and so it's easy to not see how close you are and I usually get pretty close to the fence and I'm good but this was that one moment where I got a little too close and it caught and I heard the sound so I immediately stopped and moved but you're right about the torque, you don't have to touch the gas pedal very much for it to move and it really does move and there you have it, and my fence post is a mess.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I have a left fender scrape on my MY left there while backing up and turning left. (Sorry for all the lefts). The fence just didn't budge. So I really feel bad for you.
Machinists don't usually work on sheet metal.
