Honestly I just loved to read the hate in the comments from the Tesla community 😂 This really is a fantastic build. Can’t wait to see what you can do to make this project better.

The Model S is not that special. Its a basic sedan that happened to have electric motors and a battery. The McLaren P1 is a multi million dollar hypercar carbon fiber chassis hybrid V8. Messing with its formula ruins the original intent and experience. That being said, I understand Freddy not putting the battery back in and yes it does save weight, but I'm just saying those two things are not as close as you want them to be.
