Sure. Mainly, I didn't want to modify the original vehicle too much, outside of removing the engine and transmission. That means keeping the solid front axle, the drum breaks, the rear axle and it's respective gear ratio. I've always liked the simplicity of direct drive electric drive trains...

i used a hall effect pedal assembly (HEPA) from a Prius. It's a common throttle solution for EVs. It has two independent hall signals with slightly different voltage curves. I just hooked one up to the Soliton1 and calibrated the min and max throttle values, shut it down, and then did the same...

As far as cost goes it's a little higher then is necessary because it has two electric drivetrains in one vehicle. The 75kw AC setup is around $5k, the ~150kw+ DC setup is $7k, and each 4kwhr Enerdel pack costs about $2k. So for ~10 miles of range it cost $14k. But the battery cost isn't built...

Thanks! Just got in on the road and it definitely turns some heads. I forgot to add that all the EV stuff was added without modifying the original 62 year old vehicle. I haven't drilled any holes in the frame, cut, welded, or made any irreversible changes to the truck. Even still has the non...

These infrared shots of the model s charging show a surprising amount of heat build up in the frunk. Any idea what component is on the left hand side active during charging? Thermal Model S - Imgur

Mt. Gox has not been a reliable establishment for years now. I have personally been avoiding them for at least 1.5 years, and any other serious bitcoin enthusiast has done the same. Their reputation as being "The Bitcoin Exchange" is purely the result of them being the first. Not the best, not...

I got a call yesterday from Tesla but I wasnt near the phone and it went right to voicemail. I didn't notice until this morning. I was sure it would be bad news, a delay to my delivery date most likely. Or flaw with manufacturing that will take some special attention to correct. But it turns...

My dashboard just flipped to production complete! It seems more real now that I have a physical tesla out there somewhere, not just a promise to build me one eventually. I can't believe we'll have to be apart for 2 more weeks. Does anybody know what I'll need to do with the purchase...

My dashboard finally flipped to in production! And from the documents tesla sent I can see that I'm getting a 2014 S and not a 2013 I'd feared since my vin was issued in 2013 and contained 13 within it. Great news for resale incase an AWD comes out

I made some updates to my car. I added the high power home charging, the pano roof, and the carbon inserts. And surprise! I just got an email with a delivery date, February 14.

My Options: S85 Red No other options My vin: 29448

It shows up on your MyTesla page in place of the reservation number. No notification

I decided to basically build a whole ~1000lb electric race car with the price difference

S85 Confirmed 11/25 VIN showed up a week ago, still sourcing parts Delivery to Binghamton, NY Jan delivery - I don't get how you guys have specific dates? Mine just says preferred delivery - January

I became interested in Bitcoin a few years ago around the $.60/each mark, and after the recent rally to over $1,000 it became time to buy myself something nice. I've been a long time EV supporter, but I've never been able to afford anything but building my own. I've built a few full-size cars...
