Aluminum Alloy Construction: Strength Without the Bulk
The S0-D coating (left) creates a micro-thin protective layer, while the aluminum alloy core (right) balances rigidity (150MPa tensile strength) with lightweight design.
Crafted from high-strength aluminum alloy, this assembly is tailored to Model Y’s performance needs:
Structural safety: The alloy’s high tensile strength reinforces the front side impact zone, absorbing energy in collisions to protect the cabin—critical for meeting Tesla’s strict safety ratings.
Corrosion resistance: The S0-D coating undergoes electrophoretic deposition, forming a uniform barrier against road salt, rain, and UV rays. Tested to 1,200+ hours of salt spray exposure, it prevents rust even in coastal or snowy climates.
Weight efficiency: At 1.8kg, it’s 30% lighter than steel alternatives, contributing to Model Y’s energy efficiency and extended range.
Seamless Installation for Model Y
Installation snapshot: The assembly aligns with pre-drilled holes in the A-pillar and fender mounts, requiring only basic tools (torque wrench, socket set) for a 45-minute fit.
Designed for straightforward replacement:
Direct OEM fit: Precisely engineered to match Model Y’s 2020-2024 chassis, with holes aligned to existing bolts in the A-pillar, fender, and door jamb—no drilling required.
Hardware compatibility: Works with original mounting bolts (recommended torque: 22-25 Nm) for a vibration-free seal.
Paint-ready surface: The S0-D coating acts as a primer, ensuring strong adhesion to Model Y’s factory paint. Professional painting is recommended for a flawless color match.
