I recently bought a 2014 Tesla model s, it drove and charged fine but had a warning light for steering wheel reduced. One day I charged it fully and parked it than the next day it won’t go into gears as well as new warning showed up. I have replaced the LV battery because it was pretty dead thought that would fix it but it didn’t and looked at the HV battery from service mode it show orange color and sometimes show green. I have attached the code PLEASE somebody help I’m losing my mind.

whats under recent alerts?
don't worry about orange/green colors, i think its just a charge level representation...
also, in general its not recommended to let battery sit at 100%

Under recent alerts pretty much the same codes,
And for te full charge I just wanted to see how many miles I will get on full charge.
Also I installed new 12v battery few hours ago and it’s already drained.. I’m thinking I might have a lose cable or something, even I tried updating the software it wouldn’t let me

Contactors will not engage so 12V isn't being supported at this moment and therefore you can't go into D and car is also preventing the update because of this all.
Can you try removing both connectors from steering rack then reboot and try again?

screenshot would be better lol
reason: usually bms f071 is accompanied by other bms errors, which might be in history somewhere...

Remove plastic inner frunk covers and then you will see the steering rack
D008 is talking about shutdown due to high current so guess that error will be gone when those 2 connectors are removed. Not sure if that can trigger f071 so let us know which faults remains
As already directed there might be issue with the steering rack. If you have reached to the unit then worth to check if the wires have not been stripped at some section. Here are the explanations of the first section alerts, support’s what @Gtech and @brainhouston have suggested:

I looked everywhere and the only thing I noticed that there was a wire that was loose, the bolt was not screwed all the way in and the wire was just there so I screwed it back on and nothing changed

Try removing the 2 connectors, change wheel size 19'/21' in MCU this will force deep reset and please share service mode errors after that
Edit, if you have MCU2 that won't work...You could try 12V and fireman's loop

So just to confirm, u want me to remove the 2 connectors leave them unplugged than change the wheel size and it will automatically reset? After that plug back the connectors?

Ahh yea wasn’t sure if the previous codes important. But yes my car is RWD. I’ll do research on battery heater and the LDU. I appreciate your time!
picture of the location? That would help lolpull off the speed sensor from LDU, thats step 1
