I am super impressed

i would like to convert a 60's cadillac coupe to ev using a rear tesla suspension&drive unit. tesla is attached with only 4 bolts, correct? would that need a complete new chassis or can an original chassis be used? i dont shy off a newly built one. batteries can be fitted in bonnet and trunk too? to achieve 120-150 kWh with battery=5-600kg equivalent to (engine,gearbox,ear axle+propshaft, tank etc). would that be viable project?

Hi, thank you for your great video! I still have a few questions I can’t find awnsers for on the internet. I would like to repair a salvage Tesla. However, I am from Québec and I discovered that our resalvaging laws appear far more strict than in Ontario (I could be wrong). It requires absurd structure verification welding and documentation, with only official Tesla repair instructions. It seems almost impossible to recertify it unless one is himself a certified Tesla repairman. I hope Ontario won’t fall in the same path. Thus I am trying to find a total loss, but still clean title Tesla for my ambition. My question is: how worried should I be that the car be declared "Unsupported" by Tesla (thus losing access to Superchargers)? Can an "unsupported" car be realistically "resupported" by Tesla if one keeps a title clean (or Rebuilt)? Could I buy, and maintain, autopilot if the Tesla is declared unsupported? Will normal 240volt charging also be cut if I get "unsupported" ? I am young and relatively poor, so fixing a Tesla might be my only way to acquire my dream car. Thank you very much. 100% subscribing to your channel!

This is great!

I've changed my mind about EVs. I think they are a great choice for people who see their car as an appliance (like a toaster or microwave). Actually, a self-driving EV would be ideal.

Can’t wait to see the results

WOW! Fascinating skills. Thanks for the inspiration. P.S.....Early Vettes = GORGEOUS! 😀

There are tons of wrecked Model 3 and Y's out at reasonable prices now. If you could come up with a simple and affordable kit that allows you to shape batteries into different configurations and also change out suspension arms/driveshafts to shorten them to retro-fit older cars, you could make a fortune!

Currently rebuilding a M3 in California . Is there any way I can email you , I have a few questions wondering if maybe you can help ?

Excellent ! This is exactly why I am driving a VW ID 4 for rideshare(uber/lyft) instead of a Tesla. If After warranty I ever have a bad cell I dont need to replace the entire battery like with Tesla(because they are designed not to be serviceable as you stated) I cna buy a used Module for $500 /new for 800 and take it to someeone like 519Kustomz to install(used with similar cell voltages might be best )

Why do they need "reprogramming" Can you explain please ?

TESLA

what Throttle cable did ya use? thanks

awesome!

great work! the chinese ev maker BYD manufacture this car in China. .th-cam.com/video/XQRvZL4WJTI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qzLssm4f_rYOdbRr

Great vid! Was it hard to divorce the penthouse from the pack? Could you keep it all mostly together in a package to place elsewhere in the build?

Ferrari kitcar? I was assuming an AMX.

Currently rebuilding M3 in Ontario (not slavaged). I must say it is much easier to do this now then couple years ago with all the availbility of parts and information online.

Yes, and I remember when a turbocharged musclecar wasn't a real musclecar, but a 6-71 blower made you awesome. Bring on the new technology, and let's go for a ride!

What type of engines are these? ASM, PSM or EESM?

so you turmed a tesla into trash and wasted time and money. cool. can i have my time back pl :D

Get rid of the loud and annoying music! Or at least increase the volume of your narration! Impossible to watch!

As per your salvage Y with 4680 battery, are all software (including FSD) updates and subscriptions available to rebuilt Tesla from salvage title?

Why not use cheap mx5 hubs and wishbone suspension on the front?

Amazing video!!! would you be willing to share the photos of the tesla you bought from the auction because we are thinking of doing the same but I dont want to buy anything which has a structural because I dont have the tools to fix. Dents and changing parts here and there should be ok but no structural damage. Just wondering what do you look for when buying salvage teslas? how do you spot structural damage in Teslas?

When you say "no warranty" do you mean just no warranty on the car or do you also mean no warranty on the battery?

Could you use this base for a van ?

I have built several off-road gas powered race cars through the years. And I would like to try Electric. Can I hire you to build a chassis like this for a Vintage Mustang body

I love kit cars…purist are idiots. Hot Rods have always been “outside of the box”

You're a wizard. Keep it up man!!

Rebuilding a model y tomorrow so this definitely helped! You noted that we don’t like long videos… actually long views do really well and get a shit ton of views. 1-2 long are great.

Tesla

How did you find out which encoder you needed? I bought a similar truck for 500 bucks from my family friend. It has some of the same symptoms except for when you put it in drive it automatically starts to drive away. It would be throttle pedal order a new one of those I haven’t tried it, but I just want to get a few extra parts in case I need to go that route.

I woder what that weighs as is

Have you seen this video? th-cam.com/video/hHhf223jGIE/w-d-xo.html Assuming it's not totally fake (lots of claims online it is), I would love to figure out how he got this to work as the main thing holding me back from getting one is having to stop to charge on long drives. Any idea? Comments online indicate you'd at least need the generator (obvious) but then a separate BMS to manage the charging without triggering the safety that prevents you from driving while charging. Or just a way to bypass that safety feature.

bro just ruined a great american luxury/muscle car and made it electric

The heart and soul gone from a v dub😢

Did you get the post processor figured out, or just write the code in a text file? I just got an Emco 365 with live tooling and sub spindle. Looking at the programming books that came along with the machine definitely different from fanuc programming! Glad to see you hobbing those splines! Keep it up.

imagine you need to weld something deeper down because you see a crack.... you need to disassembly the entire car also you are welding back a none structural part of the entire mold, imagine if you would have something more important broken, would you dare to weld at places where the thickness of the diecast is not 5mm ? Welding cast aluminum with thickness of 20-30mm ?

I love you work and vids

I love you work and vids

Math checks out

It's that that awesome Emco with the 810T ?

Gahh, I wish I owned these tools

How much was the build?

I literally love old cnc machines, I have a 1989 Mikron vf21d tnc 355 at home that I run through a fusion 360, which is interesting because it works perfectly on an unedited 155 post processor one day I will definitely take an old cnc lathe, I just don't know which model, but it must also have a C axis

I enjoyed learning how you made the T clamps and showed how useful they are. Out of curiosity, what was the end product to be used for?

calculation spot on haha

Appreciate the content!!!

The more stuff people can share the better l reckon. Looks like you're going to do something l have been wondering about. Custom battery packs. lt will be really interesting to see how things like performance and range are affected by the reconfiguration. l'm also interested to see how you handle battery box sealing , venting and waterproofing given this is going to be a floor mounted version l'm assuming . Cheers.
