Thanks so much for this. My plug was clogged and the module was sitting in an inch of water. This tutorial saved me tons of time and money. You'd help so many people if you continued doing these videos for the usual gremlins. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for the positive feedback, that is exactly why I started doing these in the first place. The broken foot has slowed down work and production, but I am on the recovery side now, so hopefully back to them soon!

Does the software redeploy eliminate the need to use the toolbox software?

[@lawrencekendrick6440]

All ports are motorized? WiFi needed for software redeploy?

You make it look easy 😅 always takes me 3 or 4x as long to do any work like this, if I am even able to complete it. But at least 3rd parties or tinkering types can fix and maintain their older out of warranty teslas

Hey thank you, even made it look easy with the broken foot!?! I can really work some editing magic! Thanks, glad to provide content to make the cars less scary!

Kinda sad a sub made Tesla not work on it. But glad you could help.
