COMP - Front End Carrier for Tesla Model S (2021-) | 1608181-00-B (CFN Brand)
1. Basic Information
Item
Details
Product Name
CFN Brand Front End Carrier (Complete Assembly)
Part Number
1608181-00-B
Compatible Vehicles
Tesla Model S (all trims, 2021 and later model years; fits both single-motor and dual-motor configurations)
Core Function
Serves as the main structural "frame" for the front-end system; secures key components including the front bumper, radiator, A/C condenser, front radar, and headlight mounting brackets; maintains component alignment for optimal performance (e.g., radar accuracy, cooling efficiency); absorbs minor front impact force to protect under-hood parts.
Material
Multi-material composite structure: ① High-strength glass fiber-reinforced PP (main body, lightweight yet rigid); ② Galvanized steel reinforcement plates (stress points like bumper attachment areas, tensile strength ≥380MPa); ③ Anti-vibration rubber gaskets (component mounting points, reduces noise).
Packaging
1 complete assembly per pack (wrapped in thick foam + hard corrugated carton with anti-collision buffers); 2 assemblies per box (bulk pack for body shops, repair centers)
2. Core Selling Points
OEM-Level Complete Assembly: Pre-integrated with all factory-matching components—reinforcement plates, rubber gaskets, and pre-installed mounting clips. No need to purchase or assemble separate parts (e.g., standalone brackets, gaskets), cutting installation time by 60% compared to non-assembled carriers.
Structural Rigidity & Lightweight Balance: Glass fiber-reinforced PP (20% glass fiber content) reduces weight by 30% vs. all-steel carriers (meets Tesla’s lightweight design goals) while maintaining load-bearing capacity (supports up to 80kg, matching OEM specs for radiator + condenser + bumper weight). Steel reinforcement plates at stress points prevent deformation under impact.
Precise Component Alignment: Laser-scanned to match Tesla’s original front-end layout—mounting holes for radar, radiator, and headlights are positioned with ±0.5mm accuracy. Ensures radar calibration accuracy (critical for Autopilot) and proper cooling airflow (avoids overheating of the EV powertrain).
All-Weather Durability: The PP main body is UV-stabilized and water-resistant; galvanized steel plates resist rust (passes 720-hour salt spray tests per ASTM B117); rubber gaskets are weatherproof (-40°C to 90°C). Suitable for long-term use in extreme climates (snowy, coastal, high-temperature regions).
3. Key Specs & Installation Tips
Key Specifications: Material: 20% glass fiber-reinforced PP + galvanized steel + EPDM rubber; Dimensions: 1,450mm (length) × 680mm (width) × 320mm (height); Load-bearing capacity: ≥80kg; Temperature resistance: -40°C to 120°C; Service life: ≥10 years (under normal use).
Installation Steps: 1. Lift the vehicle and secure with jack stands; remove the front bumper, radiator, and front radar (follow Tesla’s service manual to avoid component damage); 2. Detach 8 factory bolts (10mm/13mm sockets) to remove the old carrier; 3. Clean the front frame mounting surface; 4. Align the CFN carrier with the frame, secure bolts to 15±1 Nm (per Tesla torque specs); 5. Reinstall radiator, radar, and bumper, then verify radar calibration and cooling system functionality.
Critical Note: Exclusive to 2021+ Model S—pre-2021 Model S has a different front-end component layout (e.g., smaller radiator, different radar position) and uses incompatible carriers. Professional radar calibration (via Tesla-approved tools) is required post-installation to ensure Autopilot functionality.
4. After-Sales & Bulk Support
Warranty: 4-year warranty (covers manufacturing defects such as cracked PP body, rusted steel plates, or misaligned mounting holes; excludes damage from front collisions, improper component installation, or overloading).
Bulk Offers: Orders of ≥2 assemblies enjoy 25% discount; bulk buyers (e.g., repair chains, dealerships) receive free technical support (installation video, radar calibration guidelines) and priority delivery for urgent repair needs.
Maintenance Tip: Inspect the carrier quarterly for loose bolts or cracked rubber gaskets—tighten bolts promptly if loose; replace gaskets if hardened (to avoid vibration noise); clean debris from the radiator mounting area to maintain cooling efficiency.
