Also had a pretty incredible restoration of the wheels. Front two were charred. Will swap these for 21" turbines, but the blue car's wheels look like new.

My P100D transplant alive and running! Amazing engineering job by Tesla, that battery and rear motor survived this inferno, with almost no damage.

Rich Rebuilds figured out a way to get supercharging working again!

Rear motor & battery working perfectly! Have video but it's not letting me embed here.

But inside looks great. Couple small spots on plastic cell cover turned opaque from heat. Gonna test this module before reassembling. Heat shield on top really did its job.

Couple spots on front top definitely got hot for a few minutes.

Small update. Car's in Ukraine and in process of transferring parts to my 75D for the upgrade. We opened battery up, and thankfully it looks perfect inside. No water damage, nothing melted in the forward section of the pack (not even plastic coolant tubes or fuse). Will update, but if this...

There was no thermal runaway. Again, I think the damage was much less thanks to it being a frozen pack, rather than the same fire happening in 100F ambient weather. Thermal runaway from heat (as opposed to cells being crushed from impact) occurrs when the shell is heated to about 200C...

Thanks, hopefully the foreward most modules in the pack will be in good shape. Here are a couple photos.

Also - I build custom high-performance e-bikes and battery packs for them, so studied a lot about li-ion cell temps and related info. Found some great scientific articles testing cells at extreme high temps, for anyone who might be interested. The Cliffs Notes version is that you don't want...

Thanks David. If you can contact the owner I do have a few specific questions I'd like to ask. I was able to locate the owner, and have reached out to him to learn a little bit more info on the car, but have not heard back yet. Hopefully I will hear back. I've repaired about 7 salvage Teslas...
