Hi all first post as this is the first Tesla I’ve bought.
Just bought a P90D Model S last week and have started stripping it down when it arrived home yesterday (4/7/19).
It has some front damage but fairly high up not affecting the front bumper reinforcement bar or chassis legs. Air bags deployed no surprise. It still turns on and has almost 200 mile of range but will not drive forward or back. I was playing around with the screen yesterday and swapping back and fore between driver settings. Then put it into valet mode and have don’t have the pin to get back out of it, only learning but silly mistake.
The family business is a car dismantlers so have a good knowledge of fixing cars and working on them. This is the first time working on a full electric car (worked on hybrids in the past).
I now have most of the front off and roof bags removed after the first day. I am going to attempt to remove the dash today but I cannot get the glove box opened as it in valet mode. Have both keys but no details of the previous owner which makes me think I have to contact Tesla to get the previous owner details removed and add the car to the app on my iPhone?
Ordered a new dash with airbags, seat belts and airbag module, won’t arrive until next week.
Anyone with any advice on what to check so I can get it driving?
Should have taken better photos before stripping. Other photos show current state when I finished stripping.
Thanks in advance
