Our Mission: Connect the black BMW "Safety Box" to the Lexus Inverter
... using the stock OEM connectors as much as possible turns out the BMW connection from it's Safety Box to the orange external plug on the OEM battery box is very modular and I luv that |

So everything below this plate is always live and lethal, 351 volts just waiting to make it a bad hair day, anything above this plate is only live and lethal when we turn on the truck to drive it or are charging the battery

that black box is arguably the most important component in this entire operation, I say arguably because some would say without the aftermarket open source VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) you can't drive the car, but in terms of safety without that black Safety Box your truck goes BOOM! and makes black smoke

Top Tip: always try and buy as much OEM stuff as you can, ask for pig tails, ask for cables, as you wheel and deal, and the seller is firm on the price, say something like: "that sounds good, but will you throw in the cables?" and 86.54% of the time they might

those eagle eyed amongst you may notice the front two 7/16" studs are missing their acorn nuts, well, the struggle is real, take a look below at what my local ACE Hardware store carries (or should I say does NOT carry), they seriously jump from 3/8" to 1/2" you can't make this stuff up folks:

in keeping up with the current social media trends I now break my silence on the water pump installation
one or two of the many part numbers PN: 6008047-00-E, 1035348-00-G What will this pump cool?
FYI the Chevy Volt DC DC Converter (aka alternator) is air cooled and does not require the water pump action |

so I call this the Tesla Model S water pump but I think someone else makes it for them and the only thing that makes it Tesla is this neat rubber bracket
