Thanks to you both for your responses. I think I'm getting a better understanding and as such it may be a good time for me to ask more targeted questions under a different topic. I'm sure everyone here is all aquiver!

I find it useful to analogize an EV set up to a gas set up.
- A Tesla drive unit is your engine, transmission, differential, ECU, and fuel pressure regulator rolled into one
-the power cables are your fuel lines
-the battery is the fuel tank and fuel pump
-contactors and fuses are fuel shutoffs ...

Well, if I missed someone important let me know! I signed up on both the above links.

I really appreciate you both.

I'd like to donate but want to make sure I'm covering the correct people. I know of Johannes & Damien (hopefully the attached links are correct) but is there anyone else who created/supports/develops this project?

Great stuff, thanks to all of you for your posts. I'll certainly check out the resources each of you mentioned.

Is it safe to say that it's not a matter of "if" but "when" will the Model 3 be controllable via an open source Tesla board?

Thanks for your reply.

How is charging of the Leaf batteries typically handled in this situation? Or more basically, what are the generalized connections to the various components of a Tesla Nissan combo?

I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the information here but... it's awesome!

My question: Is it possible to use the community edition Tesla SDU board (with Tesla SDU of course) but utilize Leaf batteries? Any builds where people have done this I can check out?
