  • Because (1) Teslas are the best selling cars, (2) Insurance companies declare Teslas "totaled" with relatively little damage, and (3) there are very few EV repair shops; we will see a flood of Tesla drivetrains available for conversions/kit cars/one-offs/racecars over the next 5-10 years. It's fascinating. These guys, EV West, Rich Rebuilds, Electric Classic Cars, etc. (plus the guys who don't make videos LOL) are leading the way.

  • Do these drive units need to be laid flat (w/ the diff and motor horizontal to each other), or can they be rotated? Feels like a kinda fun/funky solution to the frame rail/suspension arm issues would be to basically rotate the whole thing 120 degrees forward w.r.t. the diff (CCW if looking at the vehicle's left side) so that the motor/inverter could sit just ahead of the strut towers (basically on the shelf where the HV wires are at 22:10). Other than CoG getting raised up a bit (probably a fine trade off, given that the polar moment would go down a bit by pulling the mass inward), what would the downsides be?

    @JonasPowell@JonasPowell8 ай бұрын

    • Rotating it is probably problematic considering the diff/gearbox fluid. Fill levels, drain plugs etc. not being where they are supposed to be at minimum, issues with the splash lubrication at worst. I still find it hard to believe that they can't get a more normal control arm done, relocating the rear LCA mounting point forward a bit and the drive unit back a bit (with still acceptable driveshaft angles).

  • STOKED on this project! I converted a '77 280Z to electric 4 years ago and have been daily driving it since. I discovered your channel when I was working on that build and you were building the original carbon Z. I took the less challenging conversion route, and mated a motor to the stock transmission. Thinking about redoing it with a Tesla motor soon for more power, do you guys have a 3D scan of the stock S30 rear suspension and subframe? Or did you just cut it up and figure it out live?
