Glad you found out about the scam. Dashub is the worse broker to deal with to buy a Salvage Title car! If someone has good experience with other broker, please feel free to share as mine was also a disaster with them....

great job, love it !

Hey UCF, I also bought a car from copart in Miami with Dashub and same nightmare with them. I bought the car on Nov 22 and I still don't have the title. this company is just a mess ! let's tchat to share our experience with Dashub....

Next buy of carguru

still alive?

congratulation ! amazing progress in less than 1 month and a half !

any update ? no combustion yet :-)

You will need to find a body shop that is capable of working on aluminum car body like jaguar ... you can find them but expensive. Look at one of my past post I was looking the buy a car like yours with B pillar damage. I showed pictures around including Tesla body shop which told me that they...

a Tesla certified body shop will not touch a salvage Tesla, they are not allowed to do so... I already asked them....

confirm that the B pillar might be a major issue to fix .... good luck and keep us posted with the progresss

congratulation !!!! glad to see and follow your progress

Thank you for the details love it !! I am in a miami, once your car is up and running that should be your first road trip :-)

Hello have you made any progress with your flooded Tesla? Keep us posted :)

Thank you !!! So early December inspection? What else do you need in order to be ready for your road trip to Miami?

Thank you for the update and great video ! In the video, you mentioned that after talking to engineer you were actually not supposed to remove the black plastic cover. So what’s supposed to be the right process to replace the airbag module then? Thank you

is this the part ? Tesla S SRS Airbag Control Module Sensor Part #1032224-00-A - Airbag Reset & Seat Belt Pretensioner Repair - MyAirbags

can you teach me what do you actually needs to do with the Airbags module? So you replaced all of the airbags and you also need to replace a devices? Also would you need any reprogramming for this new part? Any pictures of this airbags module? thanks !

could you elaborate? that would be great ....

Great progress !! Proud of you :-) Question: you scheduled for Dec 11th, is it because there is a long waiting list? Fog lights: don't you think they will want to have them in place for the inspection? From 1 to 10 how difficult was it to install the front bumper and headlight? As you will need...

So what did you do to be able to charge at 48A? Tks

how can you check if it's first time or not? So at the end did you find one that you have been able to repair?

I heard that a owner with a non Salvage VIN could order this part from Teska under his name for him.... is that true?

so charging ;)?

This is what I thought and the reason I did not buy it. I was not comfortable since I do not know a good body shop to perform the repair yet.. also I was not sure of how much I would need to pay to find the B pillar and rear fender. The car got sold for $38,500, maybe the people you bought it...

great info so far, thank you Desoukya for sharing your progress.... ;) I am looking forward to see if the car charges at least on the 110v. keep us posted of the progress

to be more precise before starting to touch the body, where will you find the parts to replace airbags, seatbelts and airbag control module etc.?

Cool keep us posted if it charges ! How do you feel about getting all the remaining parts you need ? Do you know at the end why it was totaled? Did you check if any structural damages ?

So how is the battery holding the charge ? Have you made any more progress ?

So at what price point this project really make sense. A p90 CPO runs about $60k

I went and checked it out in person, what do you all think? The pre bids are at $27k right now ....

Nobody has thoughts about the Tesla I posted ?

What’s your next steps ?

So the car can drive just by replacing the pyrofuse and not the airbags itself aswell?

Congratulation! Could you share with us the remote diagnostic you got from engineer ?

I am planning to repair it...

From underneath the car :

Hello Roger, After spending 2h in order to find out how I could get inside iaai, I successfully fond a dealer who allowed me to be his "guest" and I paid the $75 (ouchh) guest fee to iaai to check the car. I took few pictures without the doors panels, what do you think of this? From my...

will be great if you can then share the diagnostic with us :-)

this one is located in Miami so I can go and check it in person. However I think it is still expensive (asking price) $38,500 for the needed repairs... 2016 TESLA MODEL S, 20496011 | IAA-Insurance Auto Auctions

Hello does anyone in the Miami area has experiences is rebuilding a salvage Tesla ? I want to start the project and if someone in Miami with experience wants to join me in this process that would be great ! Just PM me

@Ingineer, thank you for sharing your thoughts, which I believe are right ! Could you please elaborate more of what he needed from you and what you could do remote to help him. I would have been interested from him to share his experience on the body shop work and on your side if you can share...

rear quarter panels (welded, extremely expensive and unpurchasable unless you're a body shop) based upon this comment, it would be better to buy a front damage like in this post.

What do you thing is better / cheaper to repair for a salvage Tesla. Front or rear collision ?

also , once you repaired your salvage car, where do you go for services or mechanical repairs as Telsa won't service it and If I am not mistaken there is no independent shop to work on them?

how did you move the car in your garage? Were you able to move it? Also does the uship carrier pick it up easily or it was a nightmare from them?

From who did you get these repairs estimate?

Thank you for your reply! I am looking forward to read your progress. May I ask you how much you bought the salvage Tesla for? Including auction fee and transportation?

Too bad he never followed-up on this, it would have been great for the community
