Fire Dept Training

[Rescue Tools]

Good afternoon All,
I'm looking for a Tesla for fire Dept training, Not to cut up but strip to show components.
So I'm asking if anyone has a Tesla that's just missing the battery and or drive motors but has the rest
Intact. Willing to pay decent money.
Regards
Kevin

I don’t think anyone really owns a Tesla without a battery. You could try asking at a Tesla dealer, Calgary has a store. Would you be willing to try another EV instead?

Thanks for your reply, Calgary doesn't have anything nor Vancouver at this time. I'm open to see what's available in other manufacturers

Montreal’s FD has Nissan LEAFs (no battery, I think) for training with electric vehicles. LEAFs are also way cheaper than Teslas, if you’re looking for something cheap. I’d say you could find one in decent condition for 15000$ with battery and all, and you probably ask for it to be removed

You could also check one of those salvage auction sites online.

They do have some pretty good training videos available. Specifically for firefighters

Might check with Tesla for videos to demonstrate what you're after: I know they have training materials specifically for Fire Depts that request it.
Failing that, Rich Rebuilds does tear downs on wrecked teslas, maybe there's video there that will illustrate what you're after. I know his last project Daisy video will show just why batteries need to be handled with care.

There’s a guy in Windsor just got a model S he’s parting out, it’s been sandwiched so he may let you have the shell cheap? It’s on Kijiji. Look for ‘Tesla Model S Parts’
