Woah double the awesomeness per week!
im literally dumbfounded that they didn't seal the inside. Like it works on stock teslas because tesla has sealed the frunk so when it rains you don't get alot of water in your frunk. However when you cut open the hood and expose all the wiring you would assume the "submarine mode" doesn't work anymore.

I wonder if you held the throttle in a constant position slowly if it would grab the brakes applying power to the wheels with the most traction. I know in my h3t even without the lockers engaged if you slowly press the gas and just maintain constant throttle pressure it would act as a positive.

I roughed a heated seat and t-shirt system into my e-scooter running off of the 12v system and using a buck converter to get the voltage just where I like it. Luckily it uses common off the shelf cheap fuses you can grab at any electronics store. Went from a 2a fuse to 5a and no more dying scooter, now with a built in heating system.

FYI There is a page on the touchscreen to put the car in "Tow Mode" which will release the park brake. I would not recommend going through more than a foot of water for any length of time due to the pak flood ports being so low. The flood port sensors likely are the reason the computer shut the car down. Always enjoy the videos. So much to learn so little time. Thanks

Next time you want to hard reset the vehicle without cutting the first responder loop, take ground off 12v battery, and then disconnect the grey logic connector on the penthouse under the back seat on the passenger side. The grey logic connector (HVC) connector will open the power switches (contactors) and do a full 12v reset. You'll hear a clunk noise, that is the power switches opening. Then your first responder loop doesn't have to be messed with.
69% battery. the nicest battery percentage.

Is this the model 3 or model Y? It looks like a model 3, which would not had been most peoples first choice for this. This video looks so much fun and i have taken a couple of my Tesla’s off roading. They claim all wheel drive. My model S proved it could do just about anything and when I hit a pot hole too hard, they told me this car must have been off road at some point and they had to reattach some wires on it’s side. 😂 It was so much fun.
