What a mess this whole thing is! It's as if there were teams for each sub-system all fighting each other for space, and no-one in charge of overall architechture. There should have been much more time spent at the design stage before rushing to bolt everything together. You can't just design things with no regard for cost and hope that some value engineering at the end will sort it all out.

Great episode! Just been to Vintage Volts, home the "Tezon". It's a Volvo Amazon body that has been stretched to fit on a Model S skateboard. Took him only 6 years to complete but it means it's really a Tesla with a different skin. Maybe you can beat his conversion time by a few months as no stretching seems needed 😉
