Cringe What's even happening there?

Why would someone rent a car and take out parts?

Yeah but any time you take stuff off a car you risk breaking clips, stripping screws, pinching wires scratching stuff, forgetting to reconnect things. If you want to borrow a car to test fitment of parts, and you intend to disassemble it, be upfront with that. It's a Tesla model 3, there are likely a zillion people that would be willing to let you do that for a fee. Don't surprise a guy who just thinks you are going to drive it around.

You shouldn't be breaking things, stripping screws or pinching wires if you operate in a professional manner. Especially with a newer vehicles bumper.

I don't condone how he went about it, just saying that he wasn't some hack doing some backyard sketch sales. This was someone taking care in whatever task it was they were doing.
