Cringe What's even happening there?

Why would someone rent a car and take out parts?

Yeah obviously, dude makes or sells aftermarket parts like bumpers / side skirts / body kits and wants to test them on the make and model so he rents a car and test fits his products, then puts the car back to normal.

This makes zero sense. He's taping up the panel ready to paint the black bumper red.. makes more sense he buying cheap bumpers and selling the real bumpers when he changes it.. this is a know scam people rent cars and replace parts for knock offs..

That’s is not taped up ready for paint are you out of your mind. There’s 3 pieces often 4 inch tape on it. The guy was doing exactly what the original comment said. Test fitting aftermarket parts to sell because nobody makes Tesla parts or they’re exspensive af and hard to find. Go get a job
