[Btr_ftw]

Nice yard! Looks like there's plenty of room for a coupla more tezzies.

Thats the plan after divorce paperwork is finalized...

However my living situation will certainly change.

Why would you need a trailer, just set the air suspension to super-tall mode and bolt it below the existing pack.

I totally would

Only thing is that the car has no computers, wiring harness or suspension and the pack is already at my house.

I'm curious - what about the viability of the pack that hasn't been charged for a while? This pack has probably discharged long ago.

Yes. You could be right.

I guess youll have to watch the saga unfold...

Nothing a bicycle pump would not fix.

It will sit for a pretty good amount of time without any problems. Though it's best to charge it to around 75% first if you plan on leaving it disconnected for a long time.

I've revived packs that have been taken down until they disconnect then left to sit for months with no problems or observable degradation.

Is this your way of telling me to get my ass in gear?

If your crap is 1300lbs, at least she can't throw it out the window.

Meanwhile it might work as a kitchen countertop...

UPDATE! DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM ITS EASIER TO POST DAILY THERE...


welp, the Battery is home, woke up early the next morning and had my assistant claim my drive unit. its also a very heavy piece and of course he had zero help, he had to anchor my come along to the trailer and ratchet the drive unit up the ramp (imagine pulling a 500lb object on dollies with plastic wheels up a ramp with holes)

oh well.

Why do you keep referring to yourself as your assistant?

That's his car in the middle picture, but not the same one that went through the tunnel. Somebody just needed a picture of a flooded Model S. Guess which one they picked?

I find Elon's tweet interesting: Elon Musk on Twitter
"Drive units and battery are sealed"

I though there was a breather hole on top of the motor, as mentioned many times on this thread.

I find it more than interesting - it's just crazy. But I can't wait to see the youtube videos of Model S's being used as boats!
