    Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

    This guy is so dang resourceful though. I would be amazed if this wasn't something he took on to learn from and repair. Which probably involves welding aluminum. And his wife is probably imagining all the ways she could have died. RIP Rich's marriage.

    Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

    Been watching copart and nothing is coming in under 18k for a really bad car. Flooded cars have gone for 20+ on copart. What's happening here? Found 2 shells without glass for 10k and 12k. At this point, CPO Or just 3rd party and fix as I go seems to be the most prudent path.

    This is the point where you buy a front end wreck on copart and give criswell the part you cut out of it. If Tesla has a problem with that..... seriously, what do they expect you to do? The great part is that people ARE buying these cars wrecked and parting the heck out of them.

    How soon will the next Model 3 be delivered?

    I also wonder how much of those 30 deliveries were a rev 0.99 so that any more kinks could be worked out before release into the Wild. They were all to employees.

    Bare Aluminum Structure? Why No Protective Coatings?

    Of all the dumb things I've seen done to a MS, why hasn't anyone brushed a finished Tesla to show off that aluminum?

    Gas Station Car Washes?

    I seem to have noticed KMan on YouTube mentioning he uses brushless car washes. Okay. Well. Then he mentions that he has water inside his hatch and frunk. Hmmmm. Okay. So from what I know about brushless washes they shoot high pressure jets of water at the vehicle. Wouldn't that cause water to...

    Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

    Hey Rich. I'm considering this incredibly insane process too. If not just to learn. I'm saving up enough to buy two salvages. Ideally one rear ended and one front ended. Anyhow. I digress. I'm a video professional (I design and animate tv show intros and commercials) and would like to "help"...
