What is this part called, anyone know how to remove it?
One picture is to show you where on the car I am looking the other is a close-up of the part.

Jack up the car(put it in jack mode first), pull the lug nut caps, remove the five lug nuts, and the wheel comes right off.

Ha... Not the wheel, the painted part in front of the wheel.

Not sure what it’s called but mine popped off when I hit a pothole in my alley. Snapped back in pretty easily.

Funny.
BTW. what are we looking at.

That's the "Accelerator Wing".

When you step on the throttle it opens up and begins flapping very fast. This is why the S acccelerates so quickly.

Ok, I'm sorry that I fooled you Rdr4evr69.

 

[Rdr4evr69]

Ha!

Removable trim so it doesn't get dinged by a jack?

Should be able to locate it in the parts catalog: https://epc.teslamotors.com/#/login

I don't think I've ever noticed that on our MS.

Don't know. Don't have one of those. I would guess that is a small aerodynamic piece to deflect air away from the rear tire, similar to the air dams on the in front of the front tires, and it looks easily replaceable as it will chip up from rocks frequently so you don't have to replace the whole side. How thoughtful of Tesla. Just guessing though.
