Salvage model 3, misc parts for sale

[brur]

I'm going to open a thread for anyone needing parts, parts for sale, discussions on how or vent.
I've been bothering the Model S forum and used up all their goodwill.

I picked up a 3 on auction. All I wanted was the battery. I've been stripping it down. It was an odd total, every bag blew but the seat bolsters. The front bumper, a fender and a broken wishbone on one side. Somebody made off with both tail lights.

Seems a shame, the frame is nearly untouched.

Has anyone successfully DIYd a battery replacement yet?

What are you doing with the battery? DIY powerwall?

I don't know, a replacement ought to be simple. Relatively. Jack Rickard has pulled a battery out and gives a pretty good summation. He was pulling it to see how it was built. I hope he builds a controller for the 3 battery. As for a how-to on getting it out, I'll give it a shot in about a month. I need to sell the seats and doors first.

Sort of hoping this becomes a knowledge base for guys parting or building 3s.

I'm hoping JR builds a controller for the 3 and then I'd have a diy powerbank

My understanding is that the Model S was able to be reverse engineered easily since it used off the shelf parts for its battery management. Is the Model 3 the same or is it custom?

The 3 is a different animal. Different cards. Tesla changed the shape and location of everything.

Doesn't seem like rocket science at all... main difficulty comes from its bulk. Otherwise it seems fairly straightforward, unlike rebuilding an engine.

Second roadblock might be the software. I couldn't even get a damn HomeLink module off of eBay because it was "VIN locked" to the car it came from. Wouldn't be surprised if the battery is the same story.

Speaking of pyro fuses. Here is a little video of a guy pulling the penthouse on a 3. No idea who they are.

Sent you a PM, but I'm interested in the right rear interior door panel if it's a white interior car. I put a nice gash in mine loading a mini fridge in the back seat last summer. I'm in Phoenix.

The last post in this thread before you was a year and a half ago. I suspect the color is "crushed up and melted down at the scrap yard" now.
