I really recommend deer whistles. CHP said they had an 80% less incident rate.

This has been studied a bunch of times: they don't work. Easy to find citations on this.

Tesla hasn't yet enabled a "carve mode" for the BAW.

Pretty sure that comes factory.. those front corners have already carved me a couple time washing it, at speed that deer should be sliced and ready for eatin.

Your picture writing this message… or maybe it was not you, but written by your four year old…

I had a similar deer hit.. It took six weeks to get repaired and cost Insurance company 11k... Frunk is still not 100% right. Good Luck!

Will let you know how it goes… I was told all damaged parts will be replaced… not fixed

@fdonatti Did you get any sort of collision warning? You shouldn’t, in my opinion. It’s more dangerous to take evasive action than to sacrifice the animal.

Zero. Actually the poor thing hit me coming on a diagonal to my front left side… I saw it at the same time I heard the noise

Believe me, this is a good thing. You might have run off the road and ended up in a ditch had you been warned.

As of last night I've been added to the deer hit list. Not as bad as the OPs situation. I was going down the highway between 60-65 and braked at the last minute. Go figure late last night FSD 13 became available for download.... would have been a good test. I was not using FSD as 12 hasn't been as reliable as I'd like. My experience so far with deer and FSD hasn't been good either so I don't think it would have braked any sooner (if at all).

I need to find out what bonding material they use for the steel to stainless steel as that is the only frunk damage and if I can get that "re-glued" then thats what I'd prefer to do.
Headlights all work but will have to be replaced as they are broken and pushed back in on it.
Not sure the drivers side fender actually took any damage or if the plastic on the inside just detached. The plastic fender cover may just need to be pulled off and reattached as well.
Some small plastic pieces are broken as well.

Spoiler: Here are the videos if you care, don't unhide them unless you want to see them.
