Tesla Model 3 / Y Mountain Pass Performance Front Skid Plate

Mountain Pass Performance Aluminium Front Skid Plate For The Tesla Model 3 & Model Y. Protect Your Battery, Drive Unit and Coolant Hosing From Damage

Tesla vehicles are built around advanced engineering and cutting-edge technology, but the underside of your Model 3 or Model Y is vulnerable. The factory plastic undertray offers little resistance against harsh road impacts, which means a stray rock, deep pothole, or steep driveway could damage expensive and critical components.

The Mountain Pass Performance “Smash Me” Front Skid Plate provides a robust solution, replacing the thin OEM tray with a 1/8″ laser-cut aluminum plate designed to take a beating. It shields the high-voltage battery pack edges, front drive unit, wiring, and fragile coolant hoses, all of which are costly and time-consuming to repair if damaged. For drivers of lowered vehicles or those tackling rougher roads, this upgrade is essential.

Despite its strength, the skid plate has been engineered to integrate seamlessly with the Model 3 and Y’s underbody. Its flush design maintains Tesla’s aerodynamic efficiency, avoiding unnecessary drag or range loss. This means you gain superior protection without compromising efficiency or refinement.

Repairing or replacing components such as the battery pack, coolant system, or drive unit can cost thousands. By installing this skid plate, you’re adding a critical layer of defense that ensures your Tesla is protected from unexpected hazards. Whether you’re navigating speed bumps, rough backroads, or simply want peace of mind during daily driving, this upgrade pays for itself in protection.
