One last question before I buy a 2025 Touring

[Rhinoww]

Car is out of state. Everything checks out so far. I asked for a FaceTime to see the undercarriage to confirm the car had not bottomed out a lot and that there were no cracks in the battery compartment. That part looked great.
Immediately underneath the front bumper there were some gouges in the plastic plate - seemingly from parking hitting a curb or driving up a steep driveway. Other than factoring in this part of the car as less than perfect (accommodated for elsewhere on the overall purchase on cosmetics) is there any functional issue I should be concerned about?

It seems there is quite a bit of electronics around the perimeter of the car - anything immediately underneath the front bumper that I should test before purchase?

Regrettably I did not take a picture of that area while on FaceTime.

Nothing really comes to mind. I've scraped the underneath of my car so many times......many times hard enough to feel a real big clunk. It's never led to any problems with any sensors or anything else for me.

Same on ‘23 AT. Had a look when it was up on a lift for tire rotation. Just scratched, no real damage. None of the fasteners were even broken! The underside is probably one of the most robust out there.
