- RHEL fit some used Tesla Model 3 Performance Discs, calibers and Carbotech XP8 Pads to my Tesla Model 3 Long Range to make it stop better after fitting the Ingenext Boost 50 last episode which made it quicker.
At the start of 2021 I created Chargeheads to ELECTRIFY petrolheads essentially get more car enthusiasts into electric cars. An Electric Petrolhead if you like....A CHARGEHEAD!!!!
To start I decided to do an EV conversion and went on an amazing journey visiting many of the big companies in this field.
I selected the not so well known TVR Tasmin 350i, AKA the Wedge (#tvrwedgee ) to electrify after careful consideration of other cars. As I already had a TVR Griffith which I enjoyed driving and with my passion for raw, powerful, tail happy cars with no driver aids TVR was the obvious choice when selecting a car to electrify.
The 2nd build is the #SpecialTrikee project a 1970's BSA Aerial 3 Tricycle Scooter that me and my mate Vinny have turned into a e-Trike. I use this for local trips and it's a load of fun. Mrs Chargehead calls it my special scooter.....that originally had a 50cc two stroke motor and has a 250 watt motor in it, of course.
The Latest project is Rustee #RusteeTesla the Tesla build to make a Model 3 Long Range....well.....better! Better in looks, handling and performance while keeping her a monster mile daily and the efficiency intact. Focusing again on modifying with used parts to keep it green, where possible.
I hope to not only entertain with ChargeheadsUK Channel and the #TVRWedgee, #SpecialTrikee and #RusteeTesla builds, but also to inspire watchers to create their own greener transport.
With the help of leaders in their field like Ralph Hosier (Engineer, designer, builder of special vehicles, teacher, writer, TV presenter and trouble maker.
Ralph teaches Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Training (IMI Techsafe), builds some amazing one off projects and most of all is a top bloke!
He's the engineer behind #TVRWedgee the Electric TVR.
So let the fun begin......safely in a controlled environment using the right EV safety equipment! ;0)
Did I mention myself and Ralph have also done an EV Conversion safety video as well.
Welcome to the Modified EV revolution!

So, let me get this straight. The M3P brake calipers and pads will fit on a non-M3P and brake rotors provided you remove the brake shields? Did I get that right?
@@KP-xi4bj correct
@@chargeheadsuk Awesome! 😃
Just getting used to 1 pedal driving so hopefully won't need to replace my brakes for a while 😅
@@PropertyAtAuction i love one pedal driving 💯
So apparently the highland suspension is a direct bolt into the older model 3s…. I feel this upgrade could be ideal here in the uk….. future content video?
@@stevemann6110 worth looking into 💯
Nice upgrade.
I'm still not sure what the brakes are like on my M3P as I've only used them few times 😅
In 40000km.....
@@Rabs73 its transformed the braking, which in my opinion as a Petrolhead / Chargehead needed more bite!
@chargeheadsuk Teslas are a bit under-braked from factory, which for 99% of public road driving, is perfectly fine with the excellent regen braking. Anything more spirited or track driving, certainly requires a brake upgrade.
I do tell a slight lie when I say I don't know what my brakes are like as the occasional spirited section on a winding road shows the bigger M3P brakes are not bad. We also have a M3LR and this definitely is less inspiring. 😃
Most of our kms are in rural Australia so long drives in autopilot dominate the driving. But we also have some lovely winding roads nearby - Thunderbolts Way, Oxley Highway, Waterfall Way etc.
Love your content
@@Rabs73 completely agree, standard brakes are perfect for "Normal" people...not Chargeheads 😉
Did you consider changing the brake fluid to DOT 5 or fitting some stainless steel braided hoses? Fantastic upgrade.👍
Always read that the standard 18" wheels wouldnt fit over the performance brakes 🤔🤔🤔 are these the standard 18" wheels from Tesla?
@@G3RTH yep standard 18's. ChargeheadsUK dispelling myths 💪💪💪
😁 handy to know as now I might get some standard 18" for my M3P I know they will fit 🙌👏👏👏
@@G3RTH my mate Clive runs 18's. Go back to my older vids its in there.
Will do thanks! Keep up the great content 👌😁
@@G3RTH thanks 🙏
what spacer was that
@@TheNurvcom I want to say 15mm at the front and 25mm at the back, not 100% though. Its the recommended sizes on the forums.
