the control discussion on the comments is exactly what I expected.
Interesting rebuild, if the ability is there, it would be fun to swap that to a different body just for kicks and giggles.

That’s really great, and gives me terrible ideas like Tys. Can you fit the motors under a Fiat 500 chassis? Turn the engine into a mere generator? RWD electric Abarth!?

So he goes through all of the work and effort to rebuild a Tesla, but Telsa disabled the supercharging capabilities. Because they have to approve the “Frankenstein” build first. It seems like electric vehicles will not be able to turn into hot rods like we all hoped.

I wouldn’t want someone rebuilding my electronics, then connecting it to 100W.

With all the genius that guy has, I would have instead dropped that Tesla drivetrain into some other car. Tesla powered MX-5, anyone?
