Will it be a problem if the Tesla chassis gets hit?

If the car is fine, there's no need to worry. Here are the relevant details: Impact resistance: During the design phase, the car's chassis is built with a certain level of impact resistance. Drive the car to a repair shop and have the chassis thoroughly inspected. If the pipes are undamaged and only the steel plate has minor scratches, applying some paint to prevent rust will suffice. Chassis impact: As long as the speed during the impact was low and the scraping sound wasn't loud, the issue is generally minor and unlikely to cause significant problems. However, if there was a loud "bang," it might have dented or even punctured the oil pan. The oil pan holds the engine oil, and if all the oil leaks out, the engine, lacking lubrication, could suffer from cylinder scuffing. Symptoms of cylinder scuffing include: the vehicle struggling to move and difficulty accelerating; the engine's water temperature rising, unstable operation speed, accompanied by signs of stalling.
