Orange terminal covers for Tesla battery module terminals.
An exposed module terminal is a short waiting to happen. During a build, modules sit on benches and get moved around with their terminals bare, and anything metal dropped across a pair of them is a dead short from a source with effectively no internal resistance. That is a genuinely dangerous event, not an inconvenience.
Covering the terminals removes that for the whole time a module is out of a pack, which on most builds is weeks rather than hours.
Orange is the high voltage convention, so a covered terminal is also a marked one: anyone who opens the pack later can see what they are looking at.

Compatibility
For Tesla battery module terminals.
Check which module you have. Tesla used more than one module type and terminal geometry differs. Tell us which modules you are working with and we will confirm.
A cover is not isolation. It stops an accidental short and it marks the terminal. It does not make a live module safe to work around, and the module is always live.
In the box
