Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

[Btr_ftw]

PART THREEEEEEE

Dealing with hecklers, mild racism and a visit from a surprise guest!

 

[ahkahn]

I saw the topic heading "Repairing a flooded Tesla" and I assumed that you'd just cut off the fuel, crank it a few times to burn off some of the excess fuel, and then start her up after some cranking. Goes something like that, right?!?!

latest video is up

Dolores goes to her new owner?

 

[Model S M.D.]

@Btr_ftw LOVE your youtube channel Rich. I actually learn something while watching your videos. I was getting tired of the same reporting of Tesla news on the other channels. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see how your P85D with AP turns out!

By the way, your wife is crazy for even considering keeping that mini van over the Model S

Rich,
I can't tell you how amazing this journey you have been documenting is to me. You are definitely one of a kind, to put this much time and effort into this project. Glad Delores is functional again. Can't wait for the next episode.

When I switched my winter rims and tires to my summer set, I only had to drive about 5 minutes for the reset to work.

The time for calibrating depends on if you have old Baolong (loooong time) or new Continental TPMS (less than 5 min, It takes 1 minute for me). If you are able to read individual tire pressure values on the small display you have the new sensors.

Part Four

Curious, how do you get the front passenger seat out, I can't find the bolts or anything, does it require a special tool?

move seat all the way forward and you'll see two bolts in the rear, slide the seat all the way back and you'll see two plastic covers over the rails, remove those to expose the bolts to remove

Candles being lit and prayers to St Nikola for help in this daunting project. Hey, I fear you'll need all the help you can get--earthly and celestial!

Hey Rich.

I'm considering this incredibly insane process too. If not just to learn. I'm saving up enough to buy two salvages. Ideally one rear ended and one front ended. Anyhow. I digress.

I'm a video professional (I design and animate tv show intros and commercials) and would like to "help" somehow. I know about your patreon and will be donating there once I knock over another liquor store.

Hook me up with your editor if he's in need of help.

I am the editor. pm me.
