Sorry about your setback Tom, happens to the best us! Looking forward to seeing how your drive shafts do once its sorted out.

Here's the progress on my end:

Ran first test with car partially disassembled, so far so good. Removed pretty much the whole center console, dash, and airbag system. Quite a few DTCs, but still ran, drove and charged fine.

Managed to get my battery out, ready to start rewiring. I bought an extra set of the brackets / bus bars for the larger 24 module sub-pack, and plan to disassemble all the smaller packs to populate so that I end up with 2 identical 24 module packs. Voltage and BMS connections will still be identical to stock, but two big packs should work better in my car than one big one and a bunch of smaller ones. Still need to take final measurements to confirm, but that's my plan anyway.

Best of luck getting your mount straightened out,
