Prior to performing the electrical isolation, I decided to empty the dehumidifier I put in the front seat of the car. Welp. I've been running it constantly the last few nights and I've dumped about 10 of these so far. So yeah, she's got water in her.
pull out the frunk box and you might be able to tell how high the water actually went?
super quick to do
Ok Good News! IS Good News! Filter Dry... Nice....
BTW, are those the optional chrome pieces to the left and right of the Frunk Lock?
Well, that's a relatively good news! So the flood to the car was at a level that did not reach the air filter.
I would suggest that you remove the liners around the frunk so you can check the various items there, which includes
the 12V battery and the air suspension pump, among other things.

Just for reference to BTR_FTW, this thread gives very good indications on how to remove the frunk box:

Hope this helps,

Those chrome pieces with the vertical lines were standard on early VIN cars.
My car has them, they are black in my wife's car.
Guys, the chrome insterts in the Frunk are a $200 option in the Tesla Motors Accessories page. You can now add them to any Model S if you so desire.There are also similar chrome pieces in the rear trunk on early VIN cars. Mine has chrome in front and back in back -- basically an early enough VIN to have chrome in front, but after they ran out of the rear chrome inserts! My VIN is in the low 11,000s...
I'm thinking you're probably going to need to find another salvage car that is in really bad shape body-wise but has most of the electronics intact and use it as a parts donor.
you never did give out the VIN did you? I wonder if someone could find out exactly what happened with that info?
not sure if you want to give out that info or not?
is the DC/DC behind the frunk(from the last post I assume it is) or behind the front right wheel? early cars had it behind the wheel
not that it really makes a difference for you
I think you could charge a buck a month to a blog with audio/video progress and fund your rebuild project from the revenue. Keep it up!
You should reach out to the Jalopnik guys and see if they'd be interested in having you write a column or series of columns on this project.
