Official Tesla power truck retrofit instructions?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
So long story short Tesla refused for me to purchase the power truck retrofit for my 2018 M3P.
They wouldn't even let me purchase the kit over the counter.
The incompatibility seems to be from the center console can bus connector.
I have upgraded to the 2.0 center console with the blue plug.
Found the official retrofit kit 100% complete, just without an instruction manual, lol, This is a lot of plugs to figure out what goes where 🥴
Would anybody have a TSB/service manual instructions for the official Tesla retrofit kit.
Side note I like how they even include the little drill bit to drill the hole for the button

So I finally got around to installing an OEM power trunk on my 2018
This thing was a bitch to install.
Seriously taking the bumper off and trying to get the wires through these little holes with the rubber gourmet is a pain.
And fishing all these wires.

Needless to say I got everything done except for running ground and running power.

Had a little hiccup when I tried to fish The power wire through one of the little holes and ended up ripping off the crimp.
Any advice on how to get this crimp tab back in could I just solder it back on the wire?
Or would I have to strip whatever wire I have left and redo a crimp?

Also would anybody have any idea on what gauge wire this seems to be for the power and ground I have to add more wire so I can power it to the positive connection on the penthouse and ground to a stud in
the trunk.
