Having been in a couple of Tesla's I find them quite fascinating, a car re-imagined with new Tech.

There are some odd things about these cars, one of them being when they get badly damaged they are not allowed to be repaired, or at least not outside the Tesla network.

These USA videos have some non Telsa network salvage dudes buying damaged Teslas, taking them apart and try to get them back on the road:

Note, some of the parts are not available to buy or even repair (so they say).
Apparently salvage prices of damaged ones have gone a bit crazy maybe in part due to them not wanting them to be released to the wider spares/salvage sector?

these clips relate to a flood damaged Tesla:
