Those extra wires that attach to the tow hitch cover are for the emergency frunk release. If your 12v battery is totally dead and you can’t get into the car you can take that cap off and touch those two wires to a 12v battery and it’ll pop the frunk. From there you can jump the 12v battery to get access to the car.

Thank you for the help. We are still learning a lot about this car

[@Jimsathome]

Good to see you got it almost all put back together. I didn't realize Tyler was old enough to drive. Maybe they just start earlier in Louisiana than here in Canada. I'm looking forward to your final wrap up on the Tesla. Thanks.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

He is only 14. They can get a permit at 15. We were just in subdivision. Not on main roads.

[@TeslaRebuilders]

Oh cool glad you guys got it finished. You will enjoy it, drive it daily and save money on fuel cost. Do the CCS retrofit as it will be super convenient for you guys at the Mall Electrify America charger. I mean you will mostly charge at home 95% time but if you need a quick boost it's a option. Yea you may get a error if it's still needs a front end alignment, Mr Robert will get you fixed up a Tesla Service NO. Those guys are great schedule a time and they can get it done in about a hour. Take it easy! Casey

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank you. We really appreciate the support.

[@alexgreen4831]

You're an awesome encouraging dad and Tyler's a great kid 👍

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank you so much

Old school alignment trick they probably still do at the race track. Take two finishing nails and some string. Secure the string to one nail and poke the nail just a touch into the tread of the rearward point of the tread on the back tire. Then poke second nail into the forward most part of the front tires tread. You'll notice the string barely touches the outside of the rear tire, and the it should be the same way on the front. If not make adjust as needed. I'm sure someone has a video about it lol. Almost forgot to mention. String test works best while tires are on the ground because independent suspension could effect it off the ground

[@SwampBoysGarage]

We did some similar tricks like that and we have it very close. Was hoping to get it perfect but may just go with what we have.

[@kirkacola7942]

The Tesla looks almost like new and can't wait to see your next video guys!🤠🍻

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank you. We are very happy with it.

[@darryladey2811]

Tesla model 3 is looking really cool now you guys are super class when it comes to vehicle repairs. excellent good to see how young Tyler has progressed.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank You!

[@DachsAutos]

Nice job on getting the alignment fixed! This is a sweet ride. You're getting a fleet of white vehicles!

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Haha. Yes the Camry, Denali, and Tesla all white. Will have to change it up next time.

[@WinstonsGarage]

Great work you guys! Also, your car has a feature enabled called full self driving beta. This means the car can fully drive itself (With your supervision) from point A To B. Go into the Autopilot menu and toggle full self driving beta on. it should work now you have all the sensors installed.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank you, We saw that on the screen. Just been waiting until everything was finished. Will give it a try soon.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Have you tried Firestone for the alignment?

[@SwampBoysGarage]

I called our local one and they said no. The firestones in California do them all the time. I guess it’s the price we pay living in south Louisiana

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

@@SwampBoysGarage well dang. You guys did a great job on her!

[@dworsak79]

You just about have to go to school to learn how to work all the technology in those cars. The Tesla looks great guys! Great job!

[@SwampBoysGarage]

It was a lot to learn but not as hard as you would think.

[@resurrectionmotors2421]

Looks great guys

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank you

[@stevespawn1]

So how much was fix up and cost of car and did you make any money when selling it?

[@sophiel7638]

[@SwampBoysGarage]

[@1SmittysGarage]

Great work guys! Been a tricky build but y'all did it! Always looking forward to what's next. Blessings and respect to the grind and hustle!

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank you so much for the support. Reminds me I need to get caught up with y’all’s channel.

[@shirmworm]

Looks good!!!

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Thank you

[@DB1Journeys]

You guys need to put a set of Flowmasters on that girl, I can hardly hear it! 😂

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Haha. The air conditioner is the loudest thing on that car.

[@bungeycord5971]

Very nice its almost done! Why dont they like doing alignments on Teslas?

[@SwampBoysGarage]

All the local shops around us are too scared to touch a Tesla. Not sure why. They are so simple to work on.

[@bungeycord5971]

@@SwampBoysGarage After watching this series it seems relatively easy. I guess the difficult part is finding all the parts.

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Yeah just have to watch eBay. There are several people parting them out now. The actual car is very simple.

[@benc1927]

Where did you get those Wheel liners from China? Alibaba?

[@SwampBoysGarage]

Someone in China was parting out a car and got from them.

[@bradmay1566]

Do you know if they ship bumpers?

[@SwampBoysGarage]
