I got the bug to build a fast electric car. I have put out the word to my local used car dealers to keep an eye out for a wrecked Tesla. I’m open to other motor options. I know the Tesla motor has the power. The chassis will likely be a Factory Five 818C. This would be a cheap, light easily acquired base car.
I’m not going to worry about the chassis at this time. This very car has already been built with Tesla power. My first step will be acquiring the drive train. There is a growing community of Tesla hackers so I’m not thinking controlling the motor will be too difficult.
What would a fair price be for a Tesla motor?
Instead of thick copper wire for electric power delivery, would copper tubing work? I was thinking about copper tubing holding its shape and making a very organized electrical system. I have used steel brake line for throttle linkage for my drag car and it works great and is feather light.
Just thinking out loud for now. I have no timeline for this project. Just exploring options at this time.
