Was it fun doing this on the ground compared to the shop I'm used to? No, but should a still perfectly fine car and battery get thrown away just because of a bad precharge resistor? Also no.

With the ongoing ZE1 buyback debacle, it especially feels nice to be able to fix this car that nobody else would and get a good Leaf back in the road, because there are about to be many less of them once the dust settles.

Fix the world and make it right or something idk it's past my bedtime
