Front and rear electric engine Skid Plate for Tesla Model 3 (2017-) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Tesla Model 3 (2017-) with Kolchuga® skid plates, available in durable steel (2 mm thick) or lightweight aluminum (AluOx®) (3 mm thick). These premium skid plates act as a shield for your oil pan and electric engine, providing essential mechanical protection against the most common road hazards. Engineered for perfect compatibility, Kolchuga® protection ensures that your vehicle remains safe from impacts and debris.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
This skid plate covers both the front and rear electric engine, ensuring comprehensive protection. The construction features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that maintain optimal airflow for cooling, while service access openings allow for quick oil and filter changes without removing the shield. This design minimizes the risk of overheating and enhances the overall durability of your vehicle.
Kolchuga® protection effectively guards against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the risk of damage to critical components. The installation process is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or additional modifications. This ensures a secure fit while preserving the vehicle's original integrity.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
