Ready for paint | USA Teslata, Ep. 3

Import repair

Episode 3: the new fender, bumper and headlight are fitted, but a wrong beam and bolts that did not fit made the repair take longer while we waited for the correct part. The software is ready, the modules have been replaced, and the car is ready for paint.

Episode 3 is about getting the front end together.

At the start I show the current state: the software is ready and the modules have been replaced. There is also a short update about USATeslata.com and the accessories section.

Then we fit the outer parts — the new fender, bumper and headlight. An intermediate check found the wrong beam and bolts that did not fit, so the repair took longer while we waited for the correct part to arrive. We also fitted the frunk locking mechanism and the headlight power module.

After the final check, the front end was fitted and the car was ready for paint. The paint itself and the full repair bill are not in this video yet. Confirmed costs stay in the diary.
