    I've been tracking this as the parts have been emerging.
    .
    They missed a lot of things, and got a few bits flat-out wrong.
    They clearly didn't check the manual, or they would have known about
    those infamous level sensors that throw the fuel gauge off for us.
    They missed the yaw sensor. They missed the regen "boost hack" like
    Argonne did. On the bright side, their ability to look up chips
    is probably pretty good since that's all about industry contacts.
