The OVMS docs list "factory

The OVMS docs list "factory reset" options here (https://docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/userguide/factory.html?highlight=reboot)

There is a switch on the module motherboard you can use to cause a hardware reset.

You can find the old v2

You can find the old v2 manuals here:

https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/tree/master/docs

and the firmware upgrade guide for v2 here:

https://idleloop.com/tesla/ovms/

There is no specific factory reset function for v2, but you can use the pickit tools to erase the EEPROM area (which contains the configuration). You shouldn't need to adjust the firmware (program) memory. See the idleloop document above for some screenshots of that.

The only other way I can think of is to use a serial laptop connection, put it into setup diagnostics mode, then issue the commands to set parameters / features. Some info on that is available here:

Sorry I can't be of more help, but that module was discontinued so long ago.
