UPDATE
Now here is a closer look with the front end all cleared up without the front cradle. if you look at the passenger
side framerail its not really "that" bad considering it was hit at 45 mph.
And guess what? the AC system is still intact, still holding pressure, no holes in the lines
or AC condensor, what the hell am I doing you ask? removing the front wiring harness...
Lets get the AC system out of the way
Ok, getting dark, time for some aux lighting

I see your ploy, you are going to take the entire wrecked Model S home, one trunk full at a time....

Only if you consider his time is worth something. And maybe he wants the excuse to be away from the wife and kids.

Ex got M3 in the divorce, waiting for EU Model Y!
yea, I definitely need a 3rd vehicle. Sometimes you just want to go to home depot and pickup some grass seed and fertilizer and perhaps stick an ENTIRE FREAKING TESLA MODEL S FRONT CRADLE AND SUSPENSION somewhere in there

Negative, Battery is just floating below the car and the drive unit is tucked next to it under a tarp. I was planning on renting a big trailer and bringing those two big items with me but that was going to be toward the end. So far I've only brought things home that can fit in my truck bed.
