The Half Tesla, Half Honda, 100% Electric Hot Rod - The Teslonda
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- Taking old cars and making them better is a part of American culture: the hot rod. In this episode of State of Repair, Jim Belosic takes a 1981 Honda Accord and makes it electric... and very fast.

Everything aside, I just want a disposable income like this guy.
Tommy Callaway was just about to comment this
In my country you could never drive something like that on the road...
He doesn't even know if hes allowed to either lol
@@Resounding888 sell my kidney?
This is somethink that allways pisses me of about "outside of the box thinkers", "geniuses" and "pioneers" like this, with a lot of disposable income and time almost everybody would make projects like this...
I wonder how a thief comes up to his car, unlocks it so easily,...
wait... how do you turn this thing on?
Gotta flip like 10 switches lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just get a manual transmission. Most can’t drive those either
@@GMarsh-gn1iw you mean in America 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tamur Khawaja Yup! Only in certain regions do we still know how. Honestly, getting to the point you can’t even buy one. You have to “special order” a manual any more
_Rich Rebuild_ approves this content
Chances are that Rich Rebuilds sold him some of the hardware, what's not to like anyway. He had the idea and money and made it happen. Great result.
@RichRebuild
‘Bout 30 seconds in I thought of Rich. 😜
Rich is madman
Not anymore, now he's putting gas engines into electric cars lol
This is gumshen, drive, nerve, and for the haters just "REACH DAMN IT". I had a blue collar job and inside 3 years I got my pilot's license bought my own airplane and flew it across America.
It works like this, say I want to do "X" because I love it and find interesting, think of how you could get to that goal.
1. Plan your work, and work your plan. Be ready for failure, plan for failure.
2. Have plan B's, always at the ready.
3. Oh yea it may take hard work and effort.
4. If you need to, find other like minded people to help.
5. Don't quit until you've tried and failed at least 10 times. Sometimes 20, Sometimes 50, Sometimes more.
6. Don't be a victim of your own defeatist attitude!
I love this. Mind if I borrow that?!
Exactly what a friend of mine shared with me yesterday. Go figure he is loving life right now.
As someone that grew up in an auto salvage/recycling yard. I think it's cool what he's doing. I still haven't encountered an electric car aside from one hybrid car. Electric cars are definitely the future and I hope I have the resources to do something similar someday to learn how the new electric drive technology works.
It's not as hard as it sounds. Most of the software is available for free online, you just have to know how to make batteries and motors work together.
Electric cars have been around since the 1830s, so it’s not new tech. Pulse detonation engines are , on the other hand.
"THEY'RE GONE TAKE MA V8"
HILLBILLIES JUST AREN'T TOO SMART
thew a takin or jawbs!
derp de derrr!!!!!
No, ur V8 was left in the dust, cletus, cuz you too slow for them fast bois.
Dem Electric Cars took ar jerbs
Melted my heart to hear him talk about building a car with his son at the end
solid front axle?? so it goes like a tesla, looks like a honda and drives like an old jeep
To much money not enough brains
It's an electric gasser. Pretty obvious looking at it and his reference to old school hot rods multiple times throughout the video.
Keeping Beat Australia are you serious. He has the brains. If he has too much money he would be buying exotics and shit. But he drives a Honda Accord and built that shit himself using used tesla parts.
@@dest0nic532 I can't think of any accords that have a factory solid front axle.
@@pingpongstar11 it is clear that he has put it in himself please use your eyes and if you look it is clear as daylight that the front axle is solid
Hahaha that Simpson’s bit
dustin fisher
Moleman!
They left out the part seconds before Bart and Homer got in the car - that was the joke!
Sure shows how far we've come as a society since that episode was produced, huh?
What do you mean? What's so socially unacceptable with that joke?
@@toyotaprius79 Indeed: "Welcome to the electric car of the future - sponsored by the gasoline producers of America" ... classic Simpsons. ruclips.net/video/CcmZ1dof3Qw/видео.html
We done this to the Wide Oval Tires & Mags on our Corvettes in the Early 70's. Your Car is Very interesting. I hope you keep thinking outside the box
That Toyota guy is about to get fired
Yeah, you don't compare the hand that feeds you to a Teslonda
Andie Shore since most people think like you. Then you should know most of the world and reality you see is bullshit.
Nah, he just leaked a full electric Toyota... Open your eyes, he said Prius' suck practically, knowing Toyota's smart employees, they wouldnt say nothing to diss themselves
@@thedriven1415 It seems that without an internship for experience knowing how to code is fucking pointless if you want work.
Hey man, whatcha doin with that DeLorean I see in there?
100% bet it's getting an electric conversion, if not now - then at some point.
Yup, an "Electric conversion". 1.21 gigowatts of electric conversion! ^^
I was looking at that DeLorean as well
He and his friend are indeed converting it to AC/DMC. instagram.com/gotgraham/?hl=en
Omg, they're gonna make it go over 88mph, aren't they...😮😄
Damn! I love his vision and it makes me a little sad that I'm not into the technology like that. I'm more like his dad, a carburetor and fossil fuels guy but still am intrigued by electronics and how they work. How rad to get his boy involved like that. Thank you for the video and all the others. Works my brain every time.
That car looks like it came straight out of the cyberpunk universe!
We are getting there :D
Just wait

I’m in Australia and I would love to see something like this out here. Outstanding mate. 👍 well done.
This is dope.Props to Jim on making this... I want one.

Unreal. Born and raised in Reno so really enjoyed some of the scenery along with the mindblowing performance these things create. Liked and subscribed.
Nice job bud. I work on Ford Hybrids and by golly my thoughts are rollin now that ive seen what your doin with that fine gem
I am literally planning on building my own Teslonda from a 2000 civic ex coupe. Great job man!
7:24 Thank you Sir!
You are making everything right!
the sound of tires chirping and squealing under acceleration sounds like heaven. THAT is soul in and of itself. i'm a gear head, and love all things speed and acceleration, and all cars and bikes (except prius's. cant stand those, but i think it's more the owner's faults i don't like them. haha!!)
Just Badass! It's great to see makers out there creating cool electric vehicles. Great story, great
video!
Humble and respectful! Amazing attitude! :)
I remember seeing this a little while back, really cool stuff. Don't worry people will get over the lack of sound, hell in a couple of decades we might have even more powerful electric motors that make a whole different noise :)
Yeah I will get over it because I have too not because I want too.
I like electric car but the sound is awful.
People will tune the Mosfet switching frequency to produce fancy sounds i guess :)
Just follow Formula E and the electric superbikes.
Many modern gas powered cars either amplify or fake their noises
www.caranddriver.com/features/a15117726/faking-it-engine-sound-enhancement-explained-tech-dept/
A jet turbine powering a " next generation generator" turning an electric motor/motors, no batteries, turbines can run on almost anything fuel based. The "Hillbilly electric car".....
it can hang with porsches and ferraris but when a corner comes up that beam front axle shows its true handling characteristics
Hot rods are specifically made for drag racing, that's why this car's quarter mile time is so relevant for this video.
Seems to me that you've got the philosophy of hot rodding down pat. I'm still in the dark ages w/ cast iron V8's but am very interested to see how this space (eHotRodding, if you will) shapes up.
youre the ballz man dont EVER give up. i am proud of you and your efforts that will eventually force them to innovate the industry... for this i not only take my hat off to you but i thank you from the bottom of my heart.
So glad someone made a pro video of this guy
so sick thanks for restoring faith in electric hot rods
Dodge Hellcat has left the chat.
The new one will be part electric it's reported.

@@bbspeed6896 you sure? I bet that Honda weights 1/4 of what a hellcat does. And makes almost as much power.

teslonda is absolutely and hands-down coolest car on RUclips today
your son is gonna love you for life
or hes gonna think where is my mature father? why do i have this teenage father?
I love the whine of the electric motors, the sound warm sticky rubber makes peeling off strips of asphalt and the wind noise if the car is set just right. Anyone who turns a nose up without having ever driven a high performance e-vehicle, is lying to themselves or just a jealous hater
Why is it raised like that? I'd be worried about the center of gravity being too high at those speeds.
it's amazing, watching videos on YT about electric cars today. And seeing the lead batteries, talk of sixty mile range, and skepticism about EV's. It seems like it would be from ten years ago. Maybe five years ago. Then I look at the dates and it's two years ago. A year ago. The amount that EV's have evolved and improved in the last two years is mind boggling. It rivals the advances in smart phone technology.
Motherboard: The only Vice Publications worth watching.
Really enjoyed this! Great build, and foresight of the future.
To be honest, I would have put all these things into the Delorean!
Timo mit Hut done all ready
The whistling sound of a big turbo plus a top engine makes everything and the car looks amazing. FF also helped a lot building the image of a car that can be worked on, that can be rebuild (in the movie they buy a car, the parts and put some love into it). It can be improved by a wise guy.
lol, this is so cyberpunk, I love it!
The fact that you made an amazing powerhouse and got kicked out because it's better than the locals makes it worth it. Like hot rod mechanics of old, the new that beats the old is progress
Nah, it's a certification thing. Apparently on many tracks, if you are going to run under a certain time (ie. hit very high speeds) you need certain certifications, and register to do so. They talk about this on Tesla Racing Channel. As far as I can tell, it's about preparation of the vehicle and driver, and insurance.
ever been in the rc world
you know where this is headed
telsa has only scratched the surface of electric power
was just thinking that while watching. damn rc cars have been around for a bit and they are fucking fast and reliable just scale it up
Hell yes I was in the RC world. Was part a lil team as well hence my youtube name :) now if I were to go back Id get electric for sure ! So much power you can ripp the tires right off lol Does standing backflips 65 plus mph only thing i miss is the smell of the nitro burning ! awhh smell of candy lol
The anti-ev people always like to say shit like "gasoline has 100x more energy density than the best batteries!" and yet with 1/100th the energy Tesla power is fuckin smoking everything at the drag strip. An electric car absolutely destroyed the pikes-peak hillclimb record, and pretty soon they'll be smashing records at famous racetracks. All this, with "1/100th the energy density." Imagine how obscenely fast these cars will be when batteries have 1/4 or 1/2 the energy density of gasoline, let alone energy parity. Absolutely mind-boggling. The sky is the limit with electric cars, people decades ago thought we would have flying cars, I guess they'll just have to settle for inhumanly fast, silent cars that cost nearly nothing to run and almost never need mechanical service.
Love this, i spent a load of money on a DC2 integra Turbo back in the day so this right up my Strasse, nice work.👍👍👍
*TESLONDA*👍💨
Thank you for covering this. Been a following this build for a while!
Yes dude. Awesome. More power to you
A/C or D/C power though?
Guy seems like a douche bag
sometimes I floor my viper, Not because of speed, its the 8.4 V10, it sounds awesome, especially when I'm next to a wall or cement block the sound resonates into music
Exactly! Can't beat the sound of an ICE
thats fcking awesome
Amazing, and truly inspirational. Wish most kids would have someone like this guy around when growing up. We would be miles away and the world would be a better place.
Finally a more in-depth video on the Teslonda! Read about it on Jalopnik aaaaaaaaages ago
Calyx we are on the same page
Can you even sleep with the big grin?! =)
Absolute insane project, love it.
Electric is the future.
For now, i stick with my dyno blood gulping environment killing machine
lmao tru that, though I only own an electric bicycle, plan on buying a car once electrics get more common (or when i literally need a car for anything)
Ultimate sleeper. Oh then you see the tires. Way to go man! I’ve been saving my first car for an EV swap one day too. Guys like you making it normal. Thank you.
DeLorean electric conversion? I want to see that a lot. Like if peeps agree?
You can check out the Delorean EV build (AC/DMC) on IG @gotgraham
Delorean in Texas will sell you a brand new Ev version if you want one.
Hell, I wanna see a slammed '87 Buick Regal
Nope, needs an LS swap
how the f*** is this street legal?
the car is pretty old... its a loophole alot of people use especially in CA you can get an old car 30+ years and do what ever you want to it. while all the young kids are spending 30-40k on a new car then getting pulled over for loud exhaust all the real car guys are dropping in 600hp turbo charged ls engines into 240s legally.
It's a factory body with a Vin and registration papers, everything else is irrelevant so long as he's got lights, windshield, seatbelts, stuff like that. It'll obviously pass emissions.
Nevada plates. There are only 2 counties in NV with emissions testing. Everything goes.
BitchenMarsRockstar any car over 25 in California is exempt from smog
ThriftStore Hacker just noticed the plates. I doubt emissions will ever be a problem with an electric
I think this is great! I'm doing it with engines now, but i'm always wanted to go electric. Got a son now too and it all makes sense now :).
Awesome, awesome.... totally enjoy the performance aspects of this build. Just wondering what the carbon footprint of battery powered vehicles really is for our future? I don’t think they are as green as people think at this time?
Technology is ever evolving and changing. It's scary and beautiful.
Well, it must have been named HO-SLA it's an Urdu word meaning COURAGE.... 👍👍
HO-SLAYER!
Nice!
Hoe-sla
Thot-sla
Hosla is a great name!
Youve emulated one of the old school Gassers. Its the solid axel front suspension, i love it!
THE ELECTRIC CARS ARE GOING TO TAKE MY V8!!
This quay is cool. I love his attitude and the modern take on hot ridding. Inspiring!!
kicked off from drag strip, too fast. WOW.
Too fast for what he was licensed to drive.
10 second quarter mile is fast...but quite average for most comprehensive builds. You can find Honda CRX's with K20 engine swaps pulling 8.X second quarter miles here on youtube.. electric could do better, we just need more pioneers.
@@Calyx once you hit a certain time your car needs a roll cage for safety or else they won't let you run anymore
No, too fast for him. He needs proper licensing.
@@no_bull it has a roll cage
Don't Und4r estimate the power of the sun!
@Motherboards These electric cars video's are GREAT!
Delete your miss information already.
@BiggestComplainer LOL, electric car driver here and all city chargers are 100% local wind.
What ???? Must be a blast to drive . Kudos buddy I’m blown away :)
Tire shredding squeel makes up for the sound.
No It doesn't, not even close.
But can it run Crysis?
Probably at least DooM
@@MrSHUTUPCAT definitely Doom a T83 Calculator can run doom. A tesla cpu probably can run Crysis. While doing a 1320/9
With all that electric power stored in it's batteries, it will mine Bitcoin
Very Cool. I look forward to the future build with your son. Some of the best times with my sun was building race dirt bikes together in the 80's. Yea im old.
Guy 1- adds every possible knowledge to build gasoline drag racing car...looses bets.
This guy JUST SLAPS Tesla motor in,ND is not allowed for DRAG RACING. WOW
Lol ya, JUST slaps it in. Like it takes zero knowledge to not fry yourself with half a million watts (not even joking). It to not have it roll right out the backend.
And its perfectly fine for drag racing...he just has to have proper safety measures and be certified
I LOVE Vintage Hondas, making one Custom PHEV/EV is goals for me!
Hesla would have been a better name.
How about... Dr. Franclinsta! hehe
I think Teslonda is perfect
Hot rodding originally refers to giving higher performance to a car by changing the gasoline engine camshaft, sometimes called the "rod" . This car is still cool
when his son is 16 steering wheels are illegal.
john pardon I believe that you are closer to the truth than you could imagine. It’ll be great when you can drive your car to a scenic spot, get out and hike for 10 miles without backtracking and to have your car waiting for you, at the end of your hike, just because it’s self driving.
john pardon In 8 years? Lol no.
That will be so sad if that actually happened.
Over my dead body
@@greynolds17 agreed
the stats for the speed of this thing are insane and this is bad ass im starting to like the future I played with team associated RC10 electric RC cars as a kid and still love that hobby and I know alittle about how electric works
Just install a speaker for the noise
It would be really funny if they get a V8 gas boy to drive an electric car with V8 sounds 😂😂 can you trick people is the question.
@@Mr.Ramirez95 i think it just need something to vibrate the car. Make them think it had an engine.
Mr. 2 minutes Easy, put a large subwoofer.
neighbors appreciate that
Teslonda.....love the name!!! Super cool build.
Very cool build. Butttttttt,
I have to laugh when he calls this a "hot rod" like back in the 50's...
The one thing you dont talk about is price to build ... you reference that this is compared to "hot rods" from back in the day your dead wrong .... this is not a teenager project or some thing you can do on the cheap side (if it was everyone would be doing this )
This for people how have alot of money and or alot of Disposable income for now ...
To build a car with this components and software you are running is Astronomical even when buying used parts ... hot rods back were cheap and easy to build this is not... so I dont consider this a "hot rod" .. more like a rich mans toy ...
I like to imagine an older, bearded man in a rocking chair talking over a television show, and every time there is an ellipsis (...), it's when the old dude pauses in thought, scratches his beard and nods to himself, with a feeling of superiority and also a twinge of sadness. The TV show is probably jeopardy. sans mustache.
@@MrSHUTUPCAT is this a tv quote or something not sure what your trying to say ?
@@maldo72 MrSHUTUPCAT is trying to say you are an an older, bearded man in a rocking chair talking over a television show, and every time there is an ellipsis (...), it's when you pause in thought, scratching your beard and nodding to yourself, with a feeling of superiority and also a twinge of sadness. You are probably watching jeopardy. Without a mustache, apparently.
Whenever I see this sentiment expressed, and you are by no means alone in your scepticism, it reminds me of this Edison quote: “After the electric light goes into general use, none but the extravagant will burn tallow candles.” What is the expensive play things for the rich, like gasoline cars in the 1920, will in a generation be the cheep everyday norm. Like Edison's lightbulb, electric cars will be the cheep car you give your teenagers to give them their first taste of freedom and autonomy. You do not give them a horse or a gas car because they are expensive, and you know how irresponsible teens are. :)
@@joepeck2942 lol lmao your funny by no means I am that older grumpy guy talking though the tv... i am a true car nut build and race etc ... I just see the hardware and software that he is using and by no means this is a cheap hotrod .... that's all :)
ive deleted my long comment....no matter if its electric..your work needs only respect...and the kid takes the highest score of all...i wish you all the best and have a good fun...with respect-the high revving N/A fan
Engine roar is an annoying sound
It's annoying because you don't understand it just the same way some people think hip-hop music is just an annoying sound.

@@jonathondeeds3423 Yeah pal, do you bring your boom box blasting out to your grandma and go like "you just don't get it grandma!! Hip hop is dope AF" or sit outside your house and make the entire neighbourhood listen to it at the end of a working week? I like a nice exhaust note as much as the next guy, I just don't do it at the expense of someone else's well deserved peace and quiet
@@greynolds17 Easy now homeboy. No need to be rude. Here, I've updated my comment above to better reflect what I meant, so your blessed little heart don't get triggered again.
I've seen it in person! It killed the 1/8th mile at Hot August Nights. It beat just about everything.
I really liked this. And im 28. My first car was my 72 corvette that i still own. And i was getting worried a few years ago but in the end we all must change with the times...
So many people are not ready for this... I love it.
I like how he had a mix of digital display + manual switches. I like the silent + power of electric. Put that in the shell of a 69 camaro and that would be THE dream..... and maybe a pickup version for work.
Its absolutely beautiful to see a mind that doesn't stop learning new things. And that car is badass too
Well done Sir.my hat's off to you. From Pennsylvania with love.
Hats off for this guy!
My friend I am 70 years old and have turned a wrench or two in my life and I think what you are doing is awesome. I'm pissed off that Telsa will not sell parts to or train third parties. We need an Edelbrock type 3rd party environment of manufactures and innovators of parts and performance enhancements for electric car guys.
Very inspirational! Love the build! Nice mix mash of parts! Also love the stance of the vehicle! Reminds me of an old gasser
Anyone who actually gives a Tesla a fair shake - doesn’t dig their heels in and stick their head in the sand will see and feel the performance and be blown away. This coming from a life long major gas engine , diesel engine gear head. It’s just flat out amazing!
My hellcat feels like a chevette after driving my Tesla plaid.
that's a good father right there. super cool work.
literally in love with TESLONDA
This is what I've been looking for. Gas powered vehicles are their own thing, but electric cars offer such much more in terms of the future. Don't get me wrong, hearing a turboed V8 go full throttle is pretty satisfying. But for electric cars, getting power in that quiet electric buzz and feeling form is something else entirely.
Well done to the director of this short film.
This car is awesome man!! Future of making whatever car you to be an electric hotrod is looking so cool.
Absolutely amazing
What an amazing build and a great guy
Sweet build! Love to see more on the track VS everything
