Building an ELECTRIC TESLA POWERED DEFENDER. Part 2 - 300hp worth of Tesla motor in a Defender!!

[@bidon5037]

Thanks for this detailed walkthrough. Who prepares the motor, ZeroEV/Fellten? Is it guaranteed?

[@MatthewHusseyLondon]

Thanks for sharing Barnaby, super interesting to see how it all works!

[@electriccarconverts]

Thanks Matt! Pretty fancy motor this, and that's just the start of it!

[@sydneyg007]

Nice! Looking forward to seeing the progress! I'm doing the same thing with my 110 (with all model 3 components).👍

[@robholland1937]

So tempting to get my Lightweight converted sometime but need to save up my pennies 😂😂

[@electriccarconverts]

2.9 millions pennies and we can convert it for you! (£29,000 for those who prefer pounds!)

[@Elric787]

My understanding is no chassis modifications are allowed. Do your mounts connect to existing mounts?

[@electriccarconverts]

Yes they all bolt through original holes in the chassis or to the original gearbox mounts. That’s what makes this job particularly difficult.

[@h2o_dug]

Those mounts look stout! What ratio do you re-gear the tesla motors to?

[@electriccarconverts]

The mounts are holding crazy horsepower and strong enough to mean the wheels spin rather than the motor move! The gearing of the motor is 3.54:1
