If anyone wants "Whatever happened to that person" update... -Sold the car in entirety in 2019 (IIRC, this project yielded a net $20k profit or something like that). -Moved to Japan for my Amusement Industry Career designing controls systems for Amusement Rides. -Pandemic was not kind to the...

9 1013184-00-D LH FRT KNUCKLE 1 ea I have one of these sitting around. I bought it to replace the knuckle on my salvage when I was still going to attempt to repair it. Since I've decided to part-out instead, you can have it at the same price I paid for it. Message me for details.

In the past I've been refusing to sell my Salvage Tesla's Drive unit because I had intentions to use it for my own personal project, but have recently decided not to pursue that personal project as my financial priorities have changed. Please message me with an offer if you are interested in...

Sorry for the lack of replies in recent past, I've been in & out of the hospital with surgery scheduled on Jan 25th. So for the better part of the next 5 months I will have no ability to remove parts that aren't already removed.

No.

Available, although I won't be able to pull it until November when I have more free time.

No.

I'm pretty sure the mirrors are not power folding... there was never an opportunity to actually turn on the car to the point that those would be actuated though.

Yes.

Front right is completely undamaged, so gimme a list via PM and I'll see what's there or not.

Driver side: No Passenger side: Yes.

Air.

No. I have one, please send me an offer via private message. I have a LH fog light. I also had the RH fog light, but my mom threw it away on accident. Sent you a price, but until I post otherwise they are still available.

Parting out the infamous car that I attempted to revive. Not Available: Curtain & driver side steering airbag MCU (Remember, I sweated on it and fried it?... Ha ha, good times) Rear View Mirror Available if the price is right: Battery Modules Drive Unit Gen 1 Inverter Available: Passenger...

So I'm back in the US. Selling parts for those who need them. Also, next bad idea: Let's take the battery and drive unit (and other electrical parts) and throw it into my prius! (The prius would likely also need modification to hold everything). Alright, bring on the hate posts.

Wow, you're even able to sell flooded ones!? I'm simply dumbfounded.

After having driven around the countryside of Japan for a couple of weeks... I have lost all interest in a model S. Car is too big to be practical in my opinion. While I have seen 1 model S driving around Tokyo, if I had the money I wouldn't get it. Model 3? Maybe, depends on how Tesla...

Yes the suspension is an issue. As a matter of fact after removing the battery the car now being 1,300 lbs lighter was able to be towed to our car workshop. That said major reason is: Car is getting too expensive to repair for my preferences and threshold. I have a very limited financial...

Removed the battery: Before: After:

Pro tip: Condescension is going to always bring out the worst in negotiations. Google

Why do you keep referring to yourself as your assistant?

I do not have a dual motor, I was just guessing at what might be bent/broken/causing the problem I have not looked yet at the specifics yet. I'll contact you for information if the decision gets reversed, but after having done some math... it's unlikely. I posted like once a month?...

It'd take me some time to look for where the damage occurred, but basically sweat dripped off my arm and short circuited something. On the topic of brake pads rusting to the rotors, we dragged the thing for about like 15 feet or so being towed by tow straps by my dad's truck, the tires just...

Typically, they open up the pack and ship the individual cells. I messaged you with more details.

Absolutely, send me a PM with an offer.

For the time being I am holding on to what airbags I have for the possibility of making a 2nd attempt. Ask me again in about a year.

No upgraded stereo, just the standard stereo... plus the major difference with that is the existance of a subwoofer in the upgraded portion as well as a different MCU, which the MCU is fried. No heated steering wheel. Single gen1 charging module.

So I finished my attempt at a repair of the connector: Unsurprisingly, it didn't work. Shortly thereafter I began to work on getting the car to become towable. Disabled the parking brakes by putting 12V on the necessary pins, and then we attempted to tow it, but the wheels still wouldn't...

Just thinking back to simpler times... and how this adventure has played out thus far.

In other news, my dad bought a salvage KIA and all it needed was a bumper to get working. He replaced the bumper, and my mom has about as much awareness & understanding of cars as roadkill and threw away the broken bumper cover I still needed parts from rather than throwing away the KIA's old...

This be why his shell is an alright idea... saves me the effort of replacing a b-pillar, or front end weld and doing necessary engineering simulation to verify its structural integrity. If the price is right it saves a lot of time and effort although is less educational.

I've told you I'm open to the idea multiple times now, just keep stripping out the car and then send me an offer and we'll negotiate.

Just an entertaining thought: What if I found a Delorean shell, and threw all the tesla guts in there? Finding a stripped out delorean shell would probably be prohibitively expensive, but it certainly would be an amazing novelty electric car. Not to mention getting to 88mph would be...

Why couldn't you have moved the tools and/or why couldn't the shoes have been moved to a different location?

They also typically go on a flat surface with no incline... which isn't very realistic for interstate driving which involves turns & inclines.

Oh, also I modified a power supply to provide more current so I'm not constantly buying and replacing dead 12V batteries: Oh! I discovered the absence of safety cut loop in frunk, so that needs to be replaced too. I feel it would be dishonest if I didn't mention my slither.io addiction...

Stated in the beginning, if people want more frequent updates, the IRC channel is the best source. The, uh, "unique personalities" on this forum aren't really all that encouraging. Revealing that info publicly would be a bad idea for many reasons. --- As requested an update: Mostly been...

Could I have offers on the following: Door Hinges MCU (touch screen) Glass (if intact): Panoramic Roof Stationary Glass Windshield Hatchback Glass Thanks, Satosh

To be clear you mean 9/32" or 7/32" correct? Units would be helpful in establishing clear communication.

No it's not, and I'm not the guy who offered. New, each tire costs around $400 so a total of $800 new + shipping. Your own statement was that there is 7/32 tread left (not a whole lot of usability left it's less than 1/4, little more than 1/5) 7/32 = 0.21875 0.21875 * 800 = $175 I'd say the...

I don't think blowing through a red is classified as lane splitting... he did not stop so he either was in the left lane or blowing a red and as you've indicated going in the left lane is a bad idea with any car being there about ready to go and cutting them off.

Well do you know what exactly caused the self-check fail? I might be interested in repairing this in the distant future (think a year or more from now). If someone doesn't purchase this in the near future (before then) please don't dispose of it. -Satosh

Having driven a working model S... and also having driven a motorcycle... I think both are idiots. The model S driver is dumb because he was paying too much attention to one-upping the motorcycle that he nearly crashed into the other car. Although the other car jumping lanes isn't helpful, he...

And people wonder why I talk about the necessity of an anti-trust lawsuit to get the service/parts monopoly to stop...

Thought I had one already taken, but as it's dark out I'll take another one for you, but the mis-alignment most likely has to do with the control arms not being properly inserted.

So we're looking to move the car into our backyard shed. That's where all the fun tools are at, and also allows me to work on stuff day/night without worry of weather. Then also, there's the lack of a need to use a car cover to keep the car "out of sight" to prevent a particular neighbor from...

I don't live in Connecticut, but I wouldn't support anything unless it requires unrestricted parts sales.

The front of the car is not "official" jack points, but there are significant support members in front that can be used for such purpose.
