Look up Rich Rebuilds on YouTube. He built himself a really cheap Tesla Model S
by buying one that was in a flood and another that was rolled. Stripped the
flooded one of nearly everything, put the electrics and electronics from the
rolled one into it, then sold a bunch of leftover parts. Now he's fixing up a
flood damaged Model X, which has been built with a much higher degree of water
resistance. Nearly every electronics box on the Model S had been full of water.
The battery had water in it. The motors, inverters, and gearboxes were full of
water. The Model S, if it could be IP rated at all, would be at the lowest
rating. See a clogged storm drain making a pond at an intersection? Don't go
through it to have splashy fun with a Model S. Could get water into a motor
and/or inverter.
During the Model X teardown, Rich has been finding there isn't much needing
replacing with the electronics due to much better sealing of the boxes and
connectors have better gaskets. The charge regulator on the X, mounted inside
behind the right rear wheel, was totally dry inside despite being almost
completely submerged. The one on the S was full of water. Apparently Tesla has
learned what IP65 means, which is what everything on an electric car that runs
on electricity ought to be, especially the parts outside the cabin.

OK,
Buy a new "cheap" Tesla - about $35,800 right now.
Remove the battery pack.... ;-)
You guys on the west coast make it sound like you have Tesla's sitting
on the side of the road with "$500 or best offer" sale signs.
We now have 11 supercharger stations in the state of Indiana.
If Tesla's burned coal or biowaste we would be all set. :-/
What is is a "cheap" Tesla going for in places where they are popular?
