Its in storage right now. Will get photos for you though.

My wife REFUSES to have it in the house. She thinks its a giant hoverboard and will catch fire to the house

I dont think this happened anywhere near saltwater, I believe its fresh. My only worry are the amount it codes it threw before it went to sleep.

Even if freshwater, if water got in the cabin you won't get it running as a car anymore, anything like economically. If the cabin wasn't affected by more than an inch or so there's hope. Most of the exterior electronics are sealed.

As to codes, multiple codes can be thrown from one fault. First thing I'd do is disconnect 3G, so Tesla can't murder it prematurely.

You can sell the powertrain, and open up the battery pack (CAREFUL - Dangerous voltage) and sell the modules that aren't affected, on eBat.

If saltwater, in some places you may find white deposits where water has evaporated. Wash off quick and sell the body parts. Don't impose anything else on other souls.

You have a right to that manual under law. PM me if you want it.

You're in MA, you should leverage the right to repair law you guys have and work with a third party shop to force Tesla to provide the tools to fix it!

this.

I don't think it is a very good paperweight; how do you get it into your desk?

Gotta think outside the box - it could be the desk.

yeah, so I decided to donate it to the greater good of my rear end in the drivers seat, I made a thread about it, not sure if you guys have seen it yet.

I think it's pretty safe to say everyone has seen it.

A flood car can't be repaired and very little can be salvaged, might get some money out of scrap metal aluminum. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Give this guy another shirt
