  One trick that helps is to use 2 alignment rods with different lengths. You make sure the longer one seats in first, then you can lower the car onto the pack and make sure the shorter pin lines up without having to try and get both lined up at the same time.

  First time watching this channel and I have huge respect for people that really drive their cars and get their money out of them.  I am not even a fan of Tesla but I love seeing people really racking up the miles by maintaining them properly.

  Did the video hiccup and play the second step twice?

  I know my Bolt EV isn't as glamorous as a tesla. But it's a 2019 and we have 2 that are used 6 day a week for Uber. We put 300 to 400 miles each daily.  Both cars are at nearly  300k and have no battery degradation.  I am very impressed with the car. And some people are reporting 500 plus miles with no battery degradation.  Both cars look and drive like they did when bought new.

  As others have requested it would be cool to mention the cost of various elements of this replacement. This would help people understand if it's worth the cost or just buy a new car

  Not only did the vehicle show CHILL mode, you remained CHILL through the whole process. You surely display your knowledge and competency. Impressed to say the least.

  This is very exciting for anyone with an earlier S wanting to keep their car for the long haul.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuUG6W2lt4g&amp;t=1840">30:40</a> — this is giving me flashbacks to changing the motherboard in my old pc, and how many settings had to be updated

  A tech/ mechanic&apos;s detailed narration sure beats some influencer&apos;s sales pitch.

  I love watching the progression of people keeping these older electric vehicles alive. If I was still a professional mechanic I would definitely be specializing in EVs.
