Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

[Mike K]

If it breaks down this easily from salt water what about very dense salt air over a longer period of time?

Or even just existing in the rust belt states.

I'm not sure if this is the same car.. but this was in NJ.

Ouch. I was thinking the same thing.

Stop by service for the 75k mile reglue?

I think Ill glue this one back together myself. Ill have some cool pics of just how thick the frame of this car is. The channels that the coolant lines and HV lines pass through are something else.

It definitely is. The previous owner chimed in. How did you get this pic?

Im starting to think the previous owner attempted to drive the car through the water (not judging) but the positioning of the vehicle that Ive seen so far makes for a very odd parking job.

My brother took this picture last October. This is the first time I've seen this thread otherwise I would have posted it sooner!

Update: My brother didn't take the picture, someone where he lives did. It was in Sea Isle City, NJ.

Now, its around here where I asked myself. "What am I even doing?"

These pictures are just crazy, do you serious think you're able to put them back together??
When I took apart my toys when I was a kid, this is the point I give up and threw everything into a trash can.

Ya know, pulling out the wiring harness to replace it doesn't really look that bad...

wiring harness is connected to about 500 different things, that is the real problem here.

He got photographic memory, and if not the smartphone is on his belt.

Jokes aside, I feel for you OP, this is a job, if you pull it through it should be posted everywhere
and Elon should let you ride the inaugural Hyperloop from Vienna to Budapest.

 

[Spiderz]

I think He can pull it off. We all are with you OP

 

[beeeerock]

I think if he buys a continuity tester from Radio Shack he should be good to go...

 

[Electricfan]

I think he might also need a roll of electrical tape, but other than that....

... and a bottle of good scotch.

Hopefully he doesn't have the problem that kills me and wiring... Colorblind.

You can do this!

Me rolling around on a creeper underneath the car

Pretty sure it was never discussed: am I spying an SRT-8 Cherokee?

So, what are the odds that the OP is left with that one screw that you never know where it came from when done with this?
