EV Channels Review

This video, the third in a series on repairing a flooded Tesla Model S, details the author's encounter with a stranded Tesla owner named Phil and the subsequent collaborative repair efforts. The narrative shifts from a personal story about helping Phil and his friend to a technical examination of the Tesla's battery pack after submersion in saltwater. The author highlights the severe damage caused by saltwater, with several battery modules disintegrating. Despite the extensive corrosion and the author's reluctance to tackle the complex wiring harnesses, a significant portion of the battery modules (12 out of 16) were found to be salvageable. The video also touches upon the challenges of sourcing parts for Teslas due to serialization and the author's contemplation of acquiring a donor vehicle. The episode concludes with the author preparing to delve deeper into the repair process in the next installment, emphasizing the pervasive salt damage throughout the vehicle.
