Front Bumper Energy Absorber Foam
Tesla OE: 1104669-00-F
Aftermarket, direct-fit front bumper energy absorber for the 2017–2023 Tesla Model 3 — the molded foam block that sits between the front bumper fascia and the reinforcement beam and absorbs low-speed impact energy. Cross-referenced to Tesla OE 1104669-00-F. It is almost always crushed or deformed in a front-end collision, so it is a standard replace-with item whenever the front fascia or bumper beam is renewed — it lets the new fascia sit flush and restores the bumper's designed impact performance. Aftermarket replacement, locally stocked in Greater Vancouver.

Frequently asked
What does this foam actually do?
It sits behind the front bumper fascia, in front of the reinforcement beam, and absorbs low-speed impact energy — protecting the beam and body and helping the bumper meet its designed impact performance.
Do I need to replace it after a front bumper hit?
Usually yes. The foam is designed to crush on impact, so once it has taken a hit it no longer absorbs energy properly. Collision estimators list it as the energy absorber and typically renew it whenever the fascia or beam is replaced.
Will it fit my Model 3?
It fits the 2017–2023 Model 3. Confirm OE 1104669-00-F against your VIN or original part before ordering.
Is this an original Tesla part?
No — it is an aftermarket replacement cross-referenced to Tesla OE 1104669-00-F.
