EV Cars are BRUTALLY FAST, but they just aren't for me. I want to have the look and feel of a muscle car, pumped full of electric speed. I bought the quickest sedan in the world from 2015, a Tesla P90D wrecked at Auction, and I'm going to gut it for all the EV speed parts we need. If I can sell enough junk, I'll get the parts I need for FREE!

This channel's really come into it's own. Tony's got a specific way of going about things that its apparent everyone who had creative control over him in his past endeavors really took. I really hope he (and everyone involved) is genuinely enjoying making this content and we have this channel a long time to come. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride man.

This car belonged to my step-father! He was in a head-on collision with another car that drifted into his lane, both vehicles were going ~50 mph. It was likely labeled a bio-hazard from the substance on the windshield that was actually some raisin bran and milk he had sitting in a coffee cup. He was in a back brace for a few weeks but otherwise was completely unhurt. Sad to see the battery is gone, but I can't wait to see what you do with that motor!

@14:30 behind the cut point is a low voltage wire powered by the 12v battery that controls the contactors (big relay) at the battery to de-energise the high voltage system. This safety feature is part of why they won't work without the 12v battery.

@Sergeantgrunt Год назад

It's possible the auction didn't know. Their not in the business of checking for parts. It was a smart thing to do for the shop that had the car. Money in the bank and nobody's the wiser. Then again if the ad said it had batteries.. Can you go back on them?

@jondahl9826 Год назад

@@Sergeantgrunt I am not sure how that works. I work for a big corporate collision repair company, and I know that we are required to make sure every part that belongs to the car goes into or on the car before it gets towed to the insurance auction facility. I'm not sure if its by local law, or just our companies policy to avoid any kind of legal issues. I was just surprised to see the car was picked over already when we are held to account for even broken parts.

A few years ago an EV conversion company came out with what was effectively a Tesla crate motor, designed as a direct bolt in replacement for a small block Chevy. The thing is, that package cost around $30k and all the other bits needed added another $20k, so doing what you're doing is still potentially a very cheap way of converting a muscle car to electric. Also, for anyone worried about the lack of noise, take a listen to Hoonigan's Hoonitron, because that thing screams like a banshee when it lights off... 😁
