Go show some love for our Sponsor AvalonKing avl.kg/bisforbuildmd Huge Memorial Weekend sale ends tonight!
I don't know about everyone else, but I would love a wrecked Tesla. I've wanted a Tesla, but I don't think I'll ever will be able to afford one. The model X is my dream car, but any of them would make my day for sure.
wood stove/pizza oven in the camper 👍

If your camera is a Sony look at turning "product showcase"off - its designed for vloggers sitting in front of camera and "showing" things to the camera but when you're behind the camera it just moves to fast for this sort of work. Great feature, just not for us.
So you cut the body of Tesla 3 to see how faster it is, then latter you will add another body to it to make it slower again..
ok let's go..
Suspension companies don't want you to know this *one easy trick* to massively increase your ride height!
I almost got away from my cardio without needing my inhaler, Jason, now I'm coughing from laughing too hard XD
ROFL
so your saying he could lower it and shave another tenth or so?
Mechanics HATE HIM!! See page 13 to find out why…
Classic Jason, pure Class 4 days!
Take it to the local tesla dealer and ask them to investigate a wind noise 🤣🤣
Please do
Underrated comment😂
Tesla doesn’t have dealers
they'll say within tolerance
@@nukedpancakes3_863yes they do?
I like how in the beginning of this build you were talking about how this is the most technologically advanced car you've ever worked on and you were sure you wouldn't be able to get far in removing stuff before it got mad and stopped working but now you have the entire body off and it just shrugs and keeps going lol
I was shocked that it wasn’t a problem
I’m respecting Teslas more and more as this build goes on
They’re surprisingly workable
@@benjiman7259 teslas get a shit ton of hate just because they are EVs.
@@Nick-hm9rh na was a fan of tesla before. after purchasing i cannot recommend it anymore. way too many defects. service is non existent and overall i should have sticked with a more reliable brand. there's a report from consumer reports which confirmes my anectodical story
"The best part is no part" is apparently not just a SpaceX mindset.
As a fella who may or may not work on these daily, I was very happy to see you and your team taking HV safety seriously. Love watching your stuff.
At 17:23 you turned at waved at us in a white CRV my wife daughter and me, a longtime subscriber and huge fan , 😀😀 so glad the wave made it in the video👍🏻
haha thats so cool!! You got to see a little B is for Build live :p
@@BisforBuild try self-driving on it plz 🙏
@@cabesita99 Wouldnt work. He removed all the sensors and cameras the self driving needs to work
Lol I'm sure they will re mount them on the new body and have a self driving one of one of what ever this is gonna be!... If that wasn't the plan I hope it is now
This is basically an EV Leroy. Hell yeah brother.
Ghehehe cool
Expect Leroy and actually go faster and doest have a limit
E-roy
@@nemesiomartin1135 😂
About the autofocus, if that's one of the new Sony cameras, find the "Product Showcase" feature and disable it to stop focusing on anything getting close to the lens (aka fingers/hands...)
youtube is taking its time processing HD.. give it a min :p
Super sick! Hopefully this allows you to do body swaps on different cars!!
thanks for all the vids you make chris your content is awesome.
Yup, 360p here. EDIT: Now it's fine.
@@noobel9238 that’s the whole purpose of doing this. lol
This is why I upload videos as "private" and then change it to public after processing is finished so HD is available upon release.
Charge to 100 percent and try 0 to 60 again. Higher SOC helps.
If you want to take it over 35 before the body swap, cut some plexiglass and bolt it on the frame behind the dash as a wind deflector, that bit of wind being thrown upwards will deflect the rest over your head. And also the state-of-charge on the original 3.8 run was low compared to it being nearly full this time, so last time it had less voltage and thus less horsepower, so it being a whole second faster was both it being far lighter now but also having a much higher charge level and somewhat higher battery voltage and thus more horsepower. The removal of the body would've had a big effect anyways though, perhaps 3 to 5 tenths I'd guess.
C/D says 3.1s with 0.3s rollout so that makes about 6 tenth difference
For the autofocus, you should be able to adjust it to focus on what's center frame most, that would likely work best for you.
what kind of camera & lens it is? anyone?
@bisforbuild Once I say the autofocus I could not stop seeing it. Maybe you have to stop pointing and use arrows in editing?
...or just use manual focus with 1 push AF so that it stays where you want.
How about changing the wheel and tire size?
thanks for the tips! it really helped! Now if only i could figure out the audio issues. Switching from canon to sony has been rough
Nice shout out for Truckla! Enjoying seeing the process of step by step destruction.
3:05 this must be the RFID reader to (un)lock the car with the keycard.
That must be exactly what it's for. The module seems to run at the NFC frequency (for the card) and also at Wi-Fi frequencies? You can find that information in the Model 3's owner manual (I looked at the online one) under Certification Conformity.
The state of charge of the batter affects the 0-60, that may be why you got a whole second difference. Battery looked low in your 0-60 when the car was whole.
your SOC was lower on the second test, charge to 90% and retest
This is getting a little ridiculous and I LOVE IT !
The more ridiculous the better
@Fred Stewart yes very much
What's next? A body swap? That would be insanity.
@@jwalster9412 maybe a mustang body 😂
@@geoffrey6000 that would be sacrilege!
love that you are doing this, I was planning to do the same as I want to transport as much of the guts of a Copart bought tesla wreck into a 74 BMW 2002 as possible.
Some might recommend a Dr. for this comment...I say hell yeah brother!
Can’t wait till we find out the rest of this build. Ready to see the camper build done. I would like either one!!! Love the videos!!!
You should have it in a higher state of charge (like >80%) to improve the 0-60 time, looked like it wasn't that high when you got 3.8s before removing the body @ 20:15
Cool project BTW :)
This. The SoC looked like 30% or less in the first run, and that will give you drastically slower times. Still, taking the stock 3.1 (with 1 ft roll-out) down to 2.8 without a roll-out is a nice improvement.
@@misaacson also not entirely sure the measuring speed from the dash is super accurate. but at least it's consistent in both measurements. because if different charge, there is no strict reference point but it's still clearly way quicker than any stock M3P without weight reduction
💯 as a M3P owner they are all pretty spot on for accel times. State of charge needs to be 80% or higher for those times.
@@geemy9675 Tesla has very accurate speedometers but you're right, they did this entire thing pretty casually.
I think you should re-body it as a Chrysler K-car. Wood paneling and all. Would be awesome!
I was thinking AMC Pacer or Gremlin.
You just wait to see what they are doing 😂😂
I’m guessing he’s going to put a delorean body on it
@@isaactrockman4417 just make sure not to make it look like any movie cars lol
@@isaactrockman4417 Delorean actually would kind of make sense
make it an Exocet with a tube chassis and itll be fast AF and stiff and handle like a legit go kart
427 Cobra replica body??
I really want to see that, that sounds like a project car for me one day. A rebuilt title M3P is around 15 - 20k I wanna say ? Would be worth fr
I'm willing to bet that a decent portion of the 0-60 time improvement was due to the battery charge. The first 0-60 run was done with what looks like 40% or so battery charge, and the second run looked like it was at least 80% battery charge. The overall battery charge makes quite a big difference on the power output capability of the battery.
That's only really true at low temperatures. The Model 3 in NCA and LFP chemistry is about equally fast down to 30% SoC as long as it's not freezing outside, then performance is impacted. For LFP it can get really bad.
@@tomsixsix What is NCA and LFP chemistry and do you know when it went into production? I have a 22 M3P and I swear I can feel a difference below about 60-65% SOC. Not sure which battery chemistry mine has, it was ordered in Feb '22 and delivered May 24, '22.
@@mholmes9262 If your car was made in the USA it has an NCA battery. If it is European/China in origin and is standard range it is LFP.
I suspect that tho the 0- 60 might increase a lot, the range and top speed may decrease due to aerodynamics.. would be really neat to see them tested at a race track!! 😉
But again, awesome video Chris!! 👍
putting back the hood and front bumper would help with the drag without too much weight penalty
Also lower frontal area might balance out the drag coefficient, and anyway top speed could also be not horsepower limited in which case it could get to the same top speed, just a bit quicker or slower depending on the drag
@@geemy9675 Going to need a full helmet or going to do a Jeremy Clarkson with the wind 😅
Really looking forward to the reveal of the new body for the Tesla..!😊
So early i can only watch in 360p :p
Why is this 🤔
That´s how it was in the old days, when TH-cam still had the slogan "Broadcast yourself", when the word "TH-camr" didn´t even exist :P This is just an old video from the future. The Tesla was so quick he unintentionally invented time travel
the pixels are a badge of honour!
@@PSwayBeats TH-cam is still processing the video so the max resolution for now is 360p until the processing is done and higher res is available. Should take 10-15 minutes :)
@@jostv.2726 makes perfect sense. Embarrassed I didn't think of that
10:00 when you get to this point you realize how similar the base structure of all cars is regardless of the body structure. It makes it look like you could pretty much body swap anything as long as you build a roll cage but like all things with cars it's much easier said than done
Though the base design is quite universal, there's a lot to consider and act accordingly, like exact length, exact width, wheels, dash and fuel tank positions on the three axis, really much easier said than done as you said. Body swapping unibody vehicles is something I'll gladly leave to whoever has the knowledge to do it lol. Not any professional can do that.
Just seeing when our next update might be coming. I am eagerly waiting to see if you are successful in doing a body swap!
What was the battery state of charge? You should try again at 90%
Nah thats extra weight
@@simonh2734 the amount of weight a battery adds to a car whenever it is charged v uncharged is very small. it would make no difference
@@holiday4404 its a joke
Found you guys couple years back. And y’all have yet to disappoint.
as long as you don't yearn for boat content 😂
@@HighPr00f funny enough I had forgotten about the boat till it was mentioned at the end. I had been waiting for the truck to get used.
the gray 'thing' inside the side pillars --> antenna + receiver for the card key.
Yes send working on this in the background of the truck bid
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TY
NOW, DO THIS to a Tesla model S plaid! Like if if you want him to do it for our entertainment!
Maybe if he could find a wrecked one, but it's a 130-150,000 dollar car. Also on a prepped track the plaid launches to 60 mph at just under 2 seconds at 1.98, I doubt there would be any improvement, the body is ultra lightweight already because the Plaid is a much more high performance oriented vehicle. With a potential for a 200 mph top speed after a software update, the launch max speed was 160, if you spoil the aero I think the car will just be made worse in every way I don't think it has the bulky extra weight the model 3 has. And with 1,000 hp it's not noticing the weight as much as the model 3, and having less weight may just mean less grip for all that power. At certain points in the launch it is pulling more than 1g which seems almost impossible so the room for improvement is absolutely razor thin. And if you added a roll cage it would probably weigh more than the removed parts.
Well he might go back in time, got to be careful
For the focussing problem.. I would put the apperture of the camera a bit higher like F/4 or F/6.3 maybe even F/8 if its bright enough
It will make the background less blurry and have more things in focus. Also it wont jump as crazy as it does now;)
I've been wanting someone to do a body swap for a while so I'm super excited to see this project!
I’ve been loving the intros to this series. Hilarious!
Definitely should take it to a tesla dealership for service.
I’m actually pretty curious about what y’alls auto insurance is like lol
Yeah, I was thinking "how does your carpool group feel about the new mods"?
Excited to continue watching this build!
For the Focus on the camera. You can set it so that the speed it focuses is slower to react to changes. this way when you move your hand in front of the lens it wont auto focus right away and will focus only after the its in the location for a set time. you can also have it slowly change instead of snap focusing. hope that helps. New camera looks great.
With all structure gone how strong is the skateboard part? I'd worry about it bending or tweaking if pushed hard. it's good to know it's strong enough to handle a max acceleration test. Anyway very cool build and I'm amazed how much work you get accomplished each video.
He loves cutting bodies off cars without bracing them first. I'm sure that thing is a prezel
The floor is almost entirely battery and that section is super reinforced from factory
reinforced to protect the battery aginst getting punctured from the bottom if you hit something or protected from the sides in case of an accident. there is no way the chassis hasn't lost 80% of it's rigidity. the roof and the pillars are also super reinforced to provide the best protectio' against rollover despite the glass roof so it all contributes to the rigidity, with half the unibody gone it has to be flexy like a car from the 1950's...Tesla is much too concerned about weight to make a skateboard that stays rigid without the roof
Imagine speeding through a traffic camera with this
In my whiteytighties and shaved hairless to save weight
Wow, these results are mind-blowing!
Your new shop is less than 5 min from me! Good to have you in the neighborhood.
"It's insured and registered, I can drive it using hand signals" I think maybe that applies when there is a full car 😂 hahaha
State of charge could have something to do with the difference. Awesome project!
I've been anxiously anticipating more videos on this tesla but just keep waiting. Hope you can make this a priority
that intro gives me joy i love it
I remember 10+ years ago when HotRod did this with a C4. If i recall the car got slower at a point due to the geometry of the suspension when all the weight was removed.
Sport Compact Car did it with a Sentra, too
with AWD and heaviest component being the battery and located between the wheels, weight distribution shouldn't be too bad
@@geemy9675 It's not the distribution of the weight but the amount of it. Remember that as the suspension loads and unloads camber increases and decreases. so removing 25% of the weight will have the tires rolled under slightly so your really only gripping with the outer portion of the tread.
It would be interesting to see how the weight cut affects the range of the Tesla :)
Great video^^
Should go further?
Good Idea, in theory it would go further but if it was me driving id be launching it at every set of lights to feel the 3.8seconds 0-60
not as much as aerodynamic efficency. Not even close actually.
@@mitchelldzodz8708 2.8 you mean?
@@TheXshot Yes your right i mean 2.8 lol
The little electronic device on the side pillars below the camera is for when you swipe your key card in it, unlocks the door
did not expect that much of a difference! insane build xD
What if you put a cool bkdy on top of it like an e46
That Lamborghini Countach body is going to look insane. I didn't think Casey would sell it, but he did.
What makes you think its a countach?
Yeah he bought a Delorean for body swap months ago
I am so glad your healthy is good. You look chipper.. All the best we here for you and the crew.. Hat's off.
The aluminum panel module on the pillar underneath the camera is the RFID chip reader to unlock the car with the card.
I hope you're putting the delorian on this. It's gonna be sweet.
Makes sense. All aluminum.
the fries in the frosty was so weird to me
I feel like whatever is chassis is going under is going to break the internet and I’m here for it💯🔥
I’m so excited for all of the new surprises:) pretty sure I know what the surprise build is if had anything to do with your insta story a while back! Also if you did a Tesla give away that would be epic!
I'm surprised there weren't twisting issues with that much of the body cut off!
The battery section is highly reinforcement i guess to protect it. I guess that is more than enough strength to not flex.
This is just off the top of my head, but this layout would torque differently than most conventional autos, even before the massive weight loss. The motors are transverse, and the axles have no pinion climbing the ring gear. All torque should be front to back, while longitude mounted engines will always have a side to side torque.
I REALLY hope that you disconnected the safety link before doing ANY work on the car.
Nice!! I need to do this for my mini truck,
Awesome build and BTW love my hoodie...
This has to get DeLorian body
FYI, this is NOT the first model 3 convertible... there are many of them. It'd be funnier if you said "The first Model 3 skateboard"
Thanks so much for the video. Doing pretty much the same thing. A tesla model 3 re-body with a 65 corvair convertible. Doing all the mod on the body now, looks like I’m going carbon fiber with it. Loved the road trip to Wendy’s.
Hey there, welcome to Australia mate, good things coming through . Love to have a Tesla in my garage.
Next Project be like: Cutting everything off a Tesla Plaid😂
I guarantee you that's what the boosted boiz are gonna do with their salvage plaid!
I already forgot if you said you had a plan for it, but I can't wait to see what you body swap on to it.
Maybe he still has the DeLorean
Is there an app for that? Input your wheelbase and track width and get a match for ez body swaps?
@@kevinsellsit5584 If you wanna count Oscar as an app, then yes.
@@david929190 Yup, I'm pretty sure when he originally bought the Delorean that he said his plan was to Tesla swap it.
Nice work guys
That fitment is sick bro
You should paint it before welding on body. To make sure the cut metal doesn’t rust.
Also, you need to get a proper gauge to do a 0-60...the speedometer is NOT a good reference. Most likely did it sub-3.
I’m sure he had no idea.
This is brilliant! Now to see what's going on top...
With the significant gains from weight loss, it would be interesting to find the point of deminishing returns on the battery. Running the lightest battery capable of delivering sufficient current to make 2 passes, but no more, would set some serious records.
I remember seeing toy cars in this state as a kid and thinking they looked cool like that.
because theys do :)
Well there goes the famous Tesla 5 star/perfect safety rating.
😂 😮😂
I'm thoroughly amused by your guys' little convertible trip 😆
That metal part on the glass you took off the b pillar is where you hold the keycard to unlock/lock it
Someone start sending him links to mustang shells that are for sale.😅
I bet Elon and lots of Tesla engineers are keeping an eye on this build! Can't wait to see what you'll wrap around the skateboard.
nah
I love folks who do something simply because it would be awesome to do!
I work at a tesla authorized bodyshop and I just replaced a rr quarter panel. Just for future reference it does not like you unplugging the larger connector of the two that are in the rr inner fender well. If you do have to disconnect make sure you unplug the 12v system. When that plug is disconnected she will shut down the hv system and drain the 12v battery.
I’m surprised how rigid the chassis is considering
I'm surprised you can tell the rigidity from of the video of the car going straight on a flat road
The cars, power and speed is limited by the computer. The motors are capable of a lot more. My model three with all the passengers is just as fast with me driving it alone.
Yes i would love to see what those motors can really do
Can’t wait to see what’s next for this
*_Take this to the drag strip ASAP!_*
360p early 😂
Honda owners:
Sport Compact Car magazine did something similar to a early 00s Sentra. But they removed parts, then did a run down the drag strip. After that they remove more and did another ru. Kept going until it was in a similar state. IIRC, they took a 16 second car and made it a 14 or 13 second car by removing weight. The article is out there in the aether of the internet, just have to Google it.
Initially I thought you were crazy, but..I start feeling a surge of respect !!!
That auto focus makes the video almost unwatchable 🤮
Awesome as always
I see you painted the over lander black. Looks pretty cool.
20:14 how fully charged the battery is would make more of a difference than the weight reduction, I think
To solve the camera focusing issue, try using a Laser pointer instead of your hand it’ll stop the auto focus problem
I'm sure everyone has commented about this already, but in your stock 0-60 run, the car appears to be well under 50% charge. That will have a pretty significant impact on your acceleration in a Model 3.
This is awesome! I run 3.26- 3.3 sec on my 2022 and 2023 m3p compared to your 3.8 (I have no idea how) It may be something to do with the year of your car or if you have multiple cells out on your car. Either way- I would be very interested to see the results if this were done to a plaid that can already run a 1.9 - 2.2 sec 0-60 :))
I love that the sponsor is all about detailing the "body" and you just took yours completely off :)
