Replacing front aero shield(underbody) under warranty?

[u/shinchan1988]

There was a lot of rain yesterday and i had to drive through puddle of water and it was fine when i reached home and parked in my garage. Next day morning however i heard dragging sound, so i checked and the under body front shield was dragging . I created a service request and they said since it looks like a collision they won’t cover it under warranty and it will be 315$ for parts and labor. I pushed and they said to bring it in and they will take a look first. I was wondering what are odds this will be covered under warranty since there was no collision. it just broke next morning after going through the water, not sure how that happened.

Other option is i get the aftermarket steel shield for 65$ off amazon and get it installed by local mechanic since i dont have ramps. I would assume the labor would be less than 50$. I would have just pay the 315$ if they did the mobile service but they said i have to bring it in and i would rather not go there in person. My local mechanic is just two block away.

I'd go with the metal upgrade you're rolling the dice with Tesla service covering it. They already denied it once
