I have another one coming for Ron Burgundy, and I have to fix the brake regen button on Turtle's shifter, it's not working.
Yeah, it was terrible! If I had to do it again, I'd just make extensions for the wires coming off the shift knob, rather than fiddling with spade connectors with one hand underneath the plastic housing over the shifter area. In my fiddling, I broke the solder connecting one of the wires to one of the switches, and had to resolder it in-place in the car.

I took it for a test drive, and found my left hand reaching for my old regen switch! I'm going to have to re-muscle-memorize my switches!
