When I finally got to reinstalling the battery in the Tesla, I accidentally had the Low Voltage RapidMate connector mis-aligned and IT BROKE! Fortunately, I was able to get replacement parts pretty quickly at the closest Tesla Service Center.

Once I fixed the LV RapidMate connector, I was able to put the battery back in the car, bolt it in place, and have it back on the road!

I tested both home charging AND Tesla Supercharging, and both worked great.

The original problem with the car was a BMS_f107 error, which prevented the car from driving. I cleared the error using Tesla’s Toolbox software, just before I originally removed the pack. (I had a month-long paid subscription that was just about to run out!)

Once I got the battery fixed and reinstalled, I did not get any new errors.
The car has been driving great for the last few hundred miles, including some heavy towing!
