Remember that AP cars have an electric brake booster and in any cases, I'm pretty sure the booster pump is a vacuum pump...

Parts not being sold is a HUGE detriment to innovation, so absolutely not. You guys need to realize the seriousness of your actions and the consequences they've laid.
If you are blaming "the community" as the reason why Tesla is not selling parts to anyone except for certified Tesla shops, I'm afraid that you've got your logic completely backwards.

Funny, I can buy any parts for an ICE and no one has ever cared how I used them or how I took out the old part. I've even seriously injured myself doing stupid things when working on ICE's. Again, no OEM or parts supplier ever cared. Of course I understand that Tesla is in a more tenuous situation than long standing OEM's, especially as a new company in this litigious society, with real, powerful forces aligned against them and actively wanting them to fail, but, this is the environment they are selling into and they had to know people will tear apart and rebuild their products. It's simply part of doing business, and their refusal to sell parts will not stop people from being stupid. Without clear repair manuals they can almost assure that people will be more stupid than necessary.
Even if you change the thread title to "Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-NOT-TO", there are still some great lessons to be learned from this thread.
Between OP's willingness to take the financial hit, positive attitude and sharing his exeperiences, and some of the other experts responding with useful data as well, there is tons of knowledge being shared.
So, Btr_ftw, thank you for creating this thread, many of us are watching this thread with much interest, just make sure you protect yourself (including eyes!).

you can pay him and have it done "properly"
or you can watch me ruin everything (as well as Tesla owners reputation), for free!

UPDATE
Here are some more photos of the modules that went haywire.
All of the modules are reading at zero volts (shocking)
stay tuned for a video of me scraping off the contamination with a butter knife.
Please, please, please don't use a butter knife.
( a plasma cutter or a chainsaw will get you far more YouTube hits ; ) )

UPDATE
Here is a crude microsoft paint drawing of what I have uncovered so far. Top module in the pack is working and reading 22.1V, everything with a green background is good (BMS, pack fuse, contactors etc)
