Right around August of last year, I purchased the donor car for the swap. I bought a 2019 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD from Copart. I was hoping it might have the 980 motor, but I didn't luck out, I have the 990. Either way, the plan is to use the entire battery pack and both motors for the swap ...

One of the first steps was to 3D scan the underside for a first check to see what kind of room I have under there, so that I know what I could use for batteries/motors.
My goal here is to put the batteries where the chassis goes, between the wheels, like in a modern EV for weight distribution ...

Yes, there is absolutely interest in the build, please post a build thread in Projects


that's a lot of reverse engineering work! Thanks for it and for sharing!
Now link us to your Project Thread (https://openinverter.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=11) so we can follow along :)

Alright, I posted a ...

Hello all! I'll post my build thread here, so people can follow along. I bought this car about a year ago, for the purpose of converting it to an EV, and I've been making slow progress on it ever since. I'll split this into a few posts, hopefully I catch up pretty quick here. My build goals are not ...

As part of the initial teardown stages, I took off the rear subframe and the suspension arms and 3D scanned / reverse engineered them in an assembly. I posted the results on Reddit ...
