I've been lurking on this list for years, thank you for all the insightful posts!
I'm looking for information on what it would take to use a salvaged/removed motor(s) from a Tesla (ideally a Model 3) in an EV conversion. The conversion car would be a 1966 Mustang. The goal is to gut the car entirely, and use the front and rear drivetrains from a TM3 as intact as possible (suspension and all). From what I gather, controlling the motors in lieu of the rest of the car (software+hardware), is the hard part. I'm open to "it's not currently possible", or "it's insanely difficult". Any direction on the matter of actually controlling the motors is what I'm in search of. I'm specifically looking at drivetrains from the TM3 on account of a higher likelihood of direct transfer into the destination vehicle. I've seen that 057tech.com <http://057tech.com/> has S and X motors and controllers available, but the additional work around the suspension (specifically fab'ing it all from scratch) is making me curious about the direct drop-in approach. This is the same reason I'd like to avoid e.g. Netgain motors, since I'm looking to improve on the existing suspension geometry, and spend more fab time related to battery placement, etc... Also open to "just get an EV and be done with it." We have a LR AWD TM3 already, so the thought has crossed my mind. Thank you! -lev -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
