TESLA VLOG: TEAR DOWN WEEK: DAY 1: ZOMBIE CAR

EV Channels Review

This vlog documents a day of salvaging parts from a severely damaged Tesla Model S, referred to as 'Dolores'. The primary goal was to extract specific components like pillars, trim panels, and seats to aid in repairing another vehicle. A significant portion of the video focuses on the challenges of working with a flooded and damaged car, including safety concerns due to broken glass and water ingress. Unexpectedly, the "zombie car" (another Tesla Model S) surprisingly powers up, revealing it has only 2,000 miles and functional features like AC, much to the vlogger's astonishment. While the day was intended for part removal, the vlogger admits to accomplishing little due to distractions and helping a friend load a car onto a trailer. The video highlights the difficulties and unexpected outcomes of working with salvaged EVs, emphasizing the need for caution and proper procedures, especially concerning high-voltage systems.
