Lol I'm sure they will re mount them on the new body and have a self driving one of one of what ever this is gonna be!... If that wasn't the plan I hope it is now
If you want to take it over 35 before the body swap, cut some plexiglass and bolt it on the frame behind the dash as a wind deflector, that bit of wind being thrown upwards will deflect the rest over your head. And also the state-of-charge on the original 3.8 run was low compared to it being nearly full this time, so last time it had less voltage and thus less horsepower, so it being a whole second faster was both it being far lighter now but also having a much higher charge level and somewhat higher battery voltage and thus more horsepower. The removal of the body would've had a big effect anyways though, perhaps 3 to 5 tenths I'd guess.
About the autofocus, if that's one of the new Sony cameras, find the "Product Showcase" feature and disable it to stop focusing on anything getting close to the lens (aka fingers/hands...)
The state of charge of the batter affects the 0-60, that may be why you got a whole second difference. Battery looked low in your 0-60 when the car was whole.
love that you are doing this, I was planning to do the same as I want to transport as much of the guts of a Copart bought tesla wreck into a 74 BMW 2002 as possible.
That must be exactly what it's for. The module seems to run at the NFC frequency (for the card) and also at Wi-Fi frequencies? You can find that information in the Model 3's owner manual (I looked at the online one) under Certification Conformity.
You should have it in a higher state of charge (like >80%) to improve the 0-60 time, looked like it wasn't that high when you got 3.8s before removing the body @ 20:15 Cool project BTW :)
This. The SoC looked like 30% or less in the first run, and that will give you drastically slower times. Still, taking the stock 3.1 (with 1 ft roll-out) down to 2.8 without a roll-out is a nice improvement.
@@misaacson also not entirely sure the measuring speed from the dash is super accurate. but at least it's consistent in both measurements. because if different charge, there is no strict reference point but it's still clearly way quicker than any stock M3P without weight reduction
I'm willing to bet that a decent portion of the 0-60 time improvement was due to the battery charge. The first 0-60 run was done with what looks like 40% or so battery charge, and the second run looked like it was at least 80% battery charge. The overall battery charge makes quite a big difference on the power output capability of the battery.
That's only really true at low temperatures. The Model 3 in NCA and LFP chemistry is about equally fast down to 30% SoC as long as it's not freezing outside, then performance is impacted. For LFP it can get really bad.
@@tomsixsix What is NCA and LFP chemistry and do you know when it went into production? I have a 22 M3P and I swear I can feel a difference below about 60-65% SOC. Not sure which battery chemistry mine has, it was ordered in Feb '22 and delivered May 24, '22.
For the Focus on the camera. You can set it so that the speed it focuses is slower to react to changes. this way when you move your hand in front of the lens it wont auto focus right away and will focus only after the its in the location for a set time. you can also have it slowly change instead of snap focusing. hope that helps. New camera looks great.
That´s how it was in the old days, when RUclips still had the slogan "Broadcast yourself", when the word "RUclipsr" didn´t even exist :P This is just an old video from the future. The Tesla was so quick he unintentionally invented time travel
@@PSwayBeats RUclips is still processing the video so the max resolution for now is 360p until the processing is done and higher res is available. Should take 10-15 minutes :)
10:00 when you get to this point you realize how similar the base structure of all cars is regardless of the body structure. It makes it look like you could pretty much body swap anything as long as you build a roll cage but like all things with cars it's much easier said than done
Though the base design is quite universal, there's a lot to consider and act accordingly, like exact length, exact width, wheels, dash and fuel tank positions on the three axis, really much easier said than done as you said. Body swapping unibody vehicles is something I'll gladly leave to whoever has the knowledge to do it lol. Not any professional can do that.
For the focussing problem.. I would put the apperture of the camera a bit higher like F/4 or F/6.3 maybe even F/8 if its bright enough It will make the background less blurry and have more things in focus. Also it wont jump as crazy as it does now;)
I suspect that tho the 0- 60 might increase a lot, the range and top speed may decrease due to aerodynamics.. would be really neat to see them tested at a race track!! 😉 But again, awesome video Chris!! 👍
putting back the hood and front bumper would help with the drag without too much weight penalty Also lower frontal area might balance out the drag coefficient, and anyway top speed could also be not horsepower limited in which case it could get to the same top speed, just a bit quicker or slower depending on the drag
I work at a tesla authorized bodyshop and I just replaced a rr quarter panel. Just for future reference it does not like you unplugging the larger connector of the two that are in the rr inner fender well. If you do have to disconnect make sure you unplug the 12v system. When that plug is disconnected she will shut down the hv system and drain the 12v battery.
Thanks so much for the video. Doing pretty much the same thing. A tesla model 3 re-body with a 65 corvair convertible. Doing all the mod on the body now, looks like I’m going carbon fiber with it. Loved the road trip to Wendy’s.
Maybe if he could find a wrecked one, but it's a 130-150,000 dollar car. Also on a prepped track the plaid launches to 60 mph at just under 2 seconds at 1.98, I doubt there would be any improvement, the body is ultra lightweight already because the Plaid is a much more high performance oriented vehicle. With a potential for a 200 mph top speed after a software update, the launch max speed was 160, if you spoil the aero I think the car will just be made worse in every way I don't think it has the bulky extra weight the model 3 has. And with 1,000 hp it's not noticing the weight as much as the model 3, and having less weight may just mean less grip for all that power. At certain points in the launch it is pulling more than 1g which seems almost impossible so the room for improvement is absolutely razor thin. And if you added a roll cage it would probably weigh more than the removed parts.
With the significant gains from weight loss, it would be interesting to find the point of deminishing returns on the battery. Running the lightest battery capable of delivering sufficient current to make 2 passes, but no more, would set some serious records.
I remember 10+ years ago when HotRod did this with a C4. If i recall the car got slower at a point due to the geometry of the suspension when all the weight was removed.
@@geemy9675 It's not the distribution of the weight but the amount of it. Remember that as the suspension loads and unloads camber increases and decreases. so removing 25% of the weight will have the tires rolled under slightly so your really only gripping with the outer portion of the tread.
With all structure gone how strong is the skateboard part? I'd worry about it bending or tweaking if pushed hard. it's good to know it's strong enough to handle a max acceleration test. Anyway very cool build and I'm amazed how much work you get accomplished each video.
reinforced to protect the battery aginst getting punctured from the bottom if you hit something or protected from the sides in case of an accident. there is no way the chassis hasn't lost 80% of it's rigidity. the roof and the pillars are also super reinforced to provide the best protectio' against rollover despite the glass roof so it all contributes to the rigidity, with half the unibody gone it has to be flexy like a car from the 1950's...Tesla is much too concerned about weight to make a skateboard that stays rigid without the roof
Sport Compact Car magazine did something similar to a early 00s Sentra. But they removed parts, then did a run down the drag strip. After that they remove more and did another ru. Kept going until it was in a similar state. IIRC, they took a 16 second car and made it a 14 or 13 second car by removing weight. The article is out there in the aether of the internet, just have to Google it.
I’m so excited for all of the new surprises:) pretty sure I know what the surprise build is if had anything to do with your insta story a while back! Also if you did a Tesla give away that would be epic!
The cars, power and speed is limited by the computer. The motors are capable of a lot more. My model three with all the passengers is just as fast with me driving it alone.
I love that in America you can do whatever you want with cars. In the UK, you would have been pulled over and probably had it impounded and fined and have to go to court and get 6 points minimum (for reference 12 points and you lose your license for 6 months)
🚗💥 It's fascinating to witness the progression of this build! At the start, you were hesitant about the advanced technology and expected the car to resist your modifications. Yet, here you are, successfully removing the entire body without any issues. It's almost as if the car has a mind of its own and just shrugs off the changes. This unexpected resilience is both amusing and impressive. Can't wait to see what surprises lie ahead in this project! 😄🔧🏁
Have you thought of using zoom instead of pointing? Usually a quick zoom with that camera will focus really quick. Plus give viewers a good look. Plus you can use your pointing hand on the camera so it won’t habitually get in the way. Also, frosty’s and fries are the best
... just stumbled across your channel and love this kind of stuff! Looking forward to seeing what you graft onto the skateboard! Oh, and of course we'd love to see you give away a rebuilt Tesla to one of us - who wouldn't, @B is for Build? 😉😎

For the autofocus, you should be able to adjust it to focus on what's center frame most, that would likely work best for you.
what kind of camera & lens it is? anyone?
@bisforbuild Once I say the autofocus I could not stop seeing it. Maybe you have to stop pointing and use arrows in editing?
...or just use manual focus with 1 push AF so that it stays where you want.
How about changing the wheel and tire size?

I bet Elon and lots of Tesla engineers are keeping an eye on this build! Can't wait to see what you'll wrap around the skateboard.
nah
I’m surprised how rigid the chassis is considering
I'm surprised you can tell the rigidity from of the video of the car going straight on a flat road
This is brilliant! Now to see what's going on top...
I think a giveaway Tesla is a great idea! I would definitely buy merch to support that giveaway.
The cars, power and speed is limited by the computer. The motors are capable of a lot more. My model three with all the passengers is just as fast with me driving it alone.
Yes i would love to see what those motors can really do
Honda owners:
I love that in America you can do whatever you want with cars. In the UK, you would have been pulled over and probably had it impounded and fined and have to go to court and get 6 points minimum (for reference 12 points and you lose your license for 6 months)
🚗💥 It's fascinating to witness the progression of this build! At the start, you were hesitant about the advanced technology and expected the car to resist your modifications. Yet, here you are, successfully removing the entire body without any issues. It's almost as if the car has a mind of its own and just shrugs off the changes. This unexpected resilience is both amusing and impressive. Can't wait to see what surprises lie ahead in this project! 😄🔧🏁
360p early 😂
That auto focus makes the video almost unwatchable 🤮
Have you thought of using zoom instead of pointing? Usually a quick zoom with that camera will focus really quick. Plus give viewers a good look. Plus you can use your pointing hand on the camera so it won’t habitually get in the way.
Also, frosty’s and fries are the best
I’m one of ur very first subscribers and since the Evora, this is the most exciting project yet. Although the formula one car was great too.
Can’t wait to do this one day
I see you painted the over lander black. Looks pretty cool.
The thing below the side camera that in between the door is a nfc reeder. Its used to unlock to car with the keycard.
... just stumbled across your channel and love this kind of stuff! Looking forward to seeing what you graft onto the skateboard! Oh, and of course we'd love to see you give away a rebuilt Tesla to one of us - who wouldn't, @B is for Build? 😉😎
