    Hello, I am new to this forum and wanted to introduce the project I just started.

    I have de-iced my 1972 Plymouth Satellite and will be installing a Tesla Model S Ludicrous motor and subframe. I'm planning on using a 90kwh full Tesla battery pack, Orion 2 BMS, and a 6.6kw charger / DC-DC converter. Instrumentation will be with the Polykup display.

    I am open to all ideas and critique! I have started to keep track of this project on YouTube for those interested.

    Way cool. It will be interesting to see your DMV's reaction if you need to get it smog checked there. Gonna take it to Mopar events?

    I will definitely be going to Mopar events. I live in Colorado and this car is old enough I do not need emissions anyway. I'm sure I will get mixed reactions when I park at public charge stations.

    Making some progress, I have the 100kWh battery pack and just installed the Motor/Subclip.


    Here is a video of the motor install:
