For a hood or front-end panel damaged in a frontal collision or by debris — a direct-fit replacement matched to the factory mounting points.

Active hood hinge, left-hand side, for the pre-Highland Model 3. Tesla builds this car with TWO different hood hinges in this position: a standard hinge and this ACTIVE hinge, which belongs to the active-hood pedestrian-protection system. They are NOT interchangeable. Check the number stamped on your original hinge before ordering -- the active version is OE 1643845-00-A; the standard version is a different part number and is listed separately. Genuine Tesla OEM. Stocked in BC and shipped to every province in Canada.
Fits Tesla Model 3 (2021 – Dec 2023).
Tesla revises the suffix on this number over time — 1643845 is the base number and identifies the part position; the trailing letters are Tesla's own revision level. We carry it as 1643845-00-A. If your estimate shows a different suffix on base number 1643845, send us the number and we will confirm the revision before shipping.

Frequently asked
How do I know if my car takes the active hinge?
Read the part number stamped on the hinge you are replacing. Tesla fits either a standard hinge or this ACTIVE hinge (1643845-00-A) in the same position on the same model year, so the year alone does not tell you -- only the number on the original does.
What is different about an active hinge?
It is the hinge used with the active-hood pedestrian-protection system, and Tesla assigns it its own part number. It does not substitute for the standard hinge, and the standard hinge does not substitute for it.
Is this an original Tesla part?
Yes - genuine Tesla OEM, OE 1643845-00-A.
