RESTORING A FLOOD SALVAGE TESLA MODEL X PART 1

EV Channels Review

This video documents the initial stages of restoring a flood-damaged Tesla Model X. The presenter, Rich, emphasizes a return to "old school" repair methods, focusing on hands-on diagnostics and disassembly rather than elaborate explanations. The initial assessment reveals significant water damage, particularly evident in the rear carpeting and the body control module, which is confirmed to be non-functional. Despite the extensive damage, there's a glimmer of hope that the vehicle might be made road-legal. The presenter plans to continue the restoration in subsequent episodes, focusing on the removal of the MCU, heater, remaining carpeting, and potentially the high-voltage battery. The video also includes a brief update on the "Electrified Garage" campaign, thanking donors and announcing the upcoming construction of the repair shop.
