The Front Bumper with Holes for Parking Sensors, identified by part
number 1493736-S0-A, is a specialized exterior component designed
specifically for Tesla Model Y vehicles. This bumper is engineered
to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle’s structure while
accommodating the parking sensor system, playing a key role in both
aesthetics and functionality.
A defining feature of this bumper is the pre-drilled holes designed
to precisely fit the vehicle’s front parking sensors. These holes
are positioned according to Tesla’s specifications, ensuring the
sensors align correctly with the bumper’s surface. This alignment
is critical for the sensors to function optimally—allowing them to
accurately emit and receive ultrasonic signals to detect obstacles
during parking or low-speed maneuvers, thereby supporting the
vehicle’s parking assist system.
As a front bumper, it serves as a protective barrier for the
vehicle’s front end, absorbing impact energy in minor collisions
and shielding underlying components (such as the radiator, engine
bay, and electrical systems) from damage. Additionally, its design
is tailored to complement the Tesla Model Y’s sleek, aerodynamic
profile, maintaining the vehicle’s visual coherence and
contributing to its overall exterior appeal.
This bumper is specifically engineered for the Tesla Model Y, with
dimensions and mounting points that match the vehicle’s front-end
structure. Its design ensures a precise fit, integrating seamlessly
with adjacent body panels (fenders, hood, and grille area) without
gaps, which is essential for maintaining aerodynamic efficiency and
preventing water or debris from entering the undercarriage.
Typically constructed from high-strength, impact-resistant
materials—such as reinforced plastic or composite blends—this
bumper is designed to withstand daily wear and tear, including
exposure to road debris, temperature fluctuations, and UV
radiation. These materials offer a balance of rigidity (for
structural support) and flexibility (to absorb impacts), ensuring
long-term durability and resistance to cracking or warping.
The bumper is designed to mount directly to the Tesla Model Y’s
front chassis using factory-specification hardware and mounting
points. Its pre-drilled sensor holes eliminate the need for
aftermarket modifications, ensuring the parking sensors can be
installed quickly and correctly. Once in place, it works in tandem
with the sensors to enhance driver safety during parking, while
also maintaining the vehicle’s protective and aesthetic integrity.
In summary, the Front Bumper 1493736-S0-A is a vital component that
combines protective functionality, precision engineering for
parking sensors, and seamless integration with the Tesla Model Y’s
design, contributing to both safety and visual appeal.
