The work on the salvage Tesla Model 3
After a long multi-post journey working on the salvage EV Tesla, Ivan of the Niko Brothers finalized his rebuild.
He’d been transferring parts from old to new bumpers, assembling the door panels, and fixing faults before a test drive.
Despite being fully charged, a technical fault limited the EV’s speed to 6mph, however, Ivan reconnected everything and read theerror codes to fix it.
Following a few initial adjustments, including alignment, subframe work, and checking the suspension after lowering the car, Ivan takes it for a test drive.
While he’d worried that a few more tweaks were needed, the salvage Tesla performed well – and Ivan was finally ready for the big EV surprise.
The surprise
He announced that the reason behind the project was to surprise his wife.
To set up the big reveal, he ensured that his lucky wife was at a friend’s house when he brought the Tesla Model 3 over.
Ivan’s wife was shocked and excited when she saw the Tesla, struggling to believe that it’s really hers.
As she gets behind the wheel of the electric car, having previously driven a minivan, she is confused as to how you start an electric car.
“What do I even do? Where are the buttons? Where’s the key?” she asked in disbelief.
To help it sink in, the couple takes the Tesla for a test drive, with Ivan’s wife in ‘complete shock’.
What a lovely surprise!
