Building the World's FIRST Tesla Swapped Liberty Walk Nissan 350Z! Part 5 - Charger is IN!

[@caffeinated8935]

Will and Quinn are such awesome additions to the shop. They've taken the technical aspects of the channel to a whole new level. Absolutely loving the content from Throtl, keep it up!

[@kamikazeekarrot6306]

As someone who works on big UPS systems, I must say that battery box is siiiiick! Also scary, very energy dense. Great job man! 👏🏻

[@duffman825]

Dang!!! That August Burns Red shirt is sick!.....350 is pretty neat too

[@josepha-rt7118]

Is this a SEMA build??......it deserves to be there🔥

[@christopherloewen1433]

I believe so

[@raines48]

This has been awesome to watch and at the same time making it clear I will never do an ev swap myself. Lol. Way too much work…

[@macfacers]

Or you could use what the guys on AWD Tesla swapped truck used. It's an almost plug and play system that uses the whole battery pack of the Tesla, no need for disassembly of the modules like they did here. Four months in and the rear motor is already turning, they're almost finished with their build.

[@milohudak2772]

Just finished catching up on the eclipse and this pops up😎

[@DHGV]

This exactly

[@Muddymikey]

I'm finding this build so entertaining. Will is great at explaining what all the components do and how they do it. I watch these and at the end I'm always like "Awww man, over already?" Wish I could "Like" the videos more than once, LOL.

[@alexandrebergeron1260]

Damn i hope theres another ev build with will after this one! Amazing content as usual!

[@julioperez1850]

This is my favorite build from throttle! The future is electric and I know my LS swapped 350Z days are numbered! I'm learning a lot from this build and I'd like to someday buy a kit to convert the Z to EV or build one with a fork lift motor. Only time will tell! Fantastic work, Will!

[@HashBaller]

this is one of the sickest car projects out there! You guys rock!

[@shivamverma8427]

Salvage to Savage are building a Tesla swapped C10 for SEMA, that's one of the great builds on YT right now. You can check that out if you're interested.

[@didomenico37]

Incredible the ton of work you guys are doing, so patient...this is like 6 gas cars project in 1 and all is like new territory 🤦🏻‍♂️ hopping the end result

[@AbeYousef]

This video series I think really makes clear why EVs based on EV-designed platforms are so much more efficient than ones that have EV retrofits, even when they come from the manufacturer. You can't nearly as efficiently allocate space, control where the weight goes, and the boxes have lots of extra needless weight. Really makes you appreciate the weight savings advantages of having structural batteries as well. Really highlights the difference between craftsmanship and robotics-enabled engineering imo

[@prillzor]

The level of tech and fab work is insane. So stoked to follow this build!

[@hashimwedaei3623]

Omg all the projects are almost ready. The team putting some serious works out there.

[@377Han]

Nice work! thanks for explaining about the slits in the side of the box

[@fiercenet]

lol @ peeling that protective layer off the acrylic before doing all the cutting.

[@alexandervdr4764]

Incredible Job, episode after episode. one question though: I am scared to death of all the high voltage on the batteries while you are stacking them up. You seem to work on it with your bare hands? How do you protect yourself while connecting/fastening the straps/brackets between the battery modules?

[@crstfr6390]

I’ll say it again. throtl is the most complete krew. These guys can build anything🔥

[@crstfr6390]

Precision 🔥

[@AjClarkPROJECTJDM]

The attention to detail is unreal man. Well done

[@SinisterDexterity]

This build series is awesome. What is the weight difference between that battery box going in the front and the ICE its replacing?

[@killachief187]

This is going to be epic. And you're a natural in front of the camera.

[@fcojavi2705]

Probably the hardest working shop on KZbin! How many builds these guys have going on at the same time?? Sheesh!

[@thedoonder]

Can't wait to see this finished

[@davanjohnson4048]

Once again Throtl is killing this space of automotive content. Great job guys. Can you add South Africa as one of the locations too so I can buy some merch.

[@itzalphalex1101]

Really awesome build from Throtl but they should’ve spent or thought more about the actually body work of the Z. Meaning spent more time sanding it down getting rid of any imperfections and paint it vs just wrapping it. I’m not a fan of the color but I’m excited to see this thing running and see people’s reaction.

[@throtl]

This is only temporary. Don’t worry

[@justinsuydamjs]

Seeing Will wearing an August Burns Red immediately let’s me know what kind of jams he’s listening to while building this.

[@madridda]

My man is a fan of ABR. Right on. One of my favorite bands.

[@Buckwired]

Angry music for happy people. 😄

[@DawahTrucker2024]

Bruh nice work you're making out of that Nissan Te-Z-la. Great work. 👏👏👏

[@cghoward70]

That some hella big heat shrink tubing on the side of the battery box!

[@rodolfoo3015]

for some reason a chrome roof and a shank fin would look amazing. Also some futuristic wheels would be an awesome package

[@ajcube1503]

Don't fear thee lib elsa/libelsa 350 Z is here🚗

[@SgtStarSlayer]

Them positive and negative leads going to be pretty hot.

[@Skiridr22]

That’s one of the best battery box build to date

[@jbmarlinproductions]

I wait all week for these episodes. Let's get that car ROLLING!

[@davidmorales6911]

Must be nice to have a Genius on the Throtl team

[@anthonyciccariello8089]

Holy s*** this project is not only one mouthful it's also two hands as well

[@dzxoysclips56]

Peak proformance do be the plug frl

[@Madd_Jack]

This thing is sick. would love to see what the finished weight of it is compared to a stock 350.

[@korymanuel4037]

Can't wait till it's completely done such an awesome build

[@lockednloaded9748]

I want to see people's reactions in the future when they go to a charging station

[@4literv6]

Especially if/when tesla opens their network up. Can you imagine the looks from some of those type's if you pulled up in this thing? I've been an ev fan since the 90s. So to see so much progress in the past 5 year's is very exciting. I'm also a total car nut. So ev elektromod projects like this, the 72 Plymouth electrolite tesla swap going to sema. The salvage 2 savage sick awd dual tesla ldu swapped 1200+hp c10, that tesla swapped ferrari 308 etc. Just gives me hope for an ev future filled with awesome and different looking car projects. 😎👍🏻

[@aristojose5754]

next step add some servos and a receiver transmitter have some 1:1 scale RC fun lol :P

[@cnovalles73]

It's settled. There's NOTHING you guys can't do with a car! 🤯🤯🤯

[@anthonyhill06]

I like that August Burns Red t-shirt!!

[@ethanthompson8152]

i’m happy this car never died literally

[@shaunsummers2762]

Loving this build. Not sure if you have mentioned it and I’ve forgotten, but I’m wondering what the weight over the front end will be like once the battery pack is in and what the overall weight of the car will be in comparison to a stock one?

[@davideggenschwiller27]

Someone hook these boys up with a real bandsaw! Been watching them vise up on a porta-band for years 🤣

[@randosia_476]

Perfect for a rainy Sunday

[@jacdariper]

Well, this is the most interesting and intense level build I feel you've ever done and I love the commentary, content and video as I plan to buy a full electric vehicle from Hyundai or KIA in 2023. So, if I win it who in the hell will work on this win and if it breaks?

[@nicnoknoo]

HV battery assembly.. no use of insulated tools or gloves 😱

[@mireille.bouquet]

Absolutely fantastic series, always hyped for sundays with will :]

[@aliwork3295]

Cant wait till the first start up

[@Crotal_Karma]

What was that August t-shirt Will was wearing?

[@Joeboost8805]

DAMN YALL CRAFTY!!! NONE OF JUST THE BOLTONS THAT GO ON NEXT DOOR 😉😆😆😆

[@johnyang7452]

What brand/model is the charger that Will installed. And what else does it require to support CHAdeMO charging?

[@thatslowslug]

And not one “bad boy” was said, good job will 😆🍻

[@Buckwired]

Ha! I tried. I’m sure some other saying will fill the void. 😄

[@rizkirahman3685]

I think this car should be painted rather than just a sticker

[@mrtfisher18]

I feel like ALL your projects are going to finish at the same time lol

[@goldfishninja8086]

These guys are geniuses.

[@jamesdeelstra7615]

You guys should add a hydro handbrake for shits and giggled

[@mpbiv421]

This has to be the most nerve-racking part dropping a bunch of batteries into a metal box LOL. I am sure you guys probably put a bunch of thought into the layout and preventing accidental shorts, but just the idea of doing this makes the hair on my arm stand up.

[@chargeheadsuk]

Can't wait to catch up and watch this episode. Great build !!!! 💪⚡😎

do you guys do tuning ? im in SD and need a tune fora hemi LT headers , and intake, throttle body and 160 thermostat

[@hemimagnum3044]

What’s up with the bubbles and dents in the quarter by the charge port

[@bigjeff1291]

Nice work Will !👍🏻

[@austinscholts9192]

What kind of spray coating are you using?

[@r4dius]

Nice work you did there

[@Louis_B_creations]

I see dents by the gas door. That sucks. Is that getting re done.?

[@LorenXLX]

Awesome! Just in time for the new video!

[@jeremym8748]

Will those bolts come loose over time? Too soon to know?

[@jasperliao6430]

You should do more electric swap cars on the channel. Do the first electric swap brz or gt86 2022

[@DeadEternityGabe]

sick august burns red shirt my dude

[@jamesfcookjr]

Throtl VIP squad good morning Will Mickey Rickie Quinn Evan Rick victor Shawn Big Jeff and the rest of the team awesome more Tesla 350 Z content😊👍🏽🤙🏽

Its gonna be sick!

this man is entirley to smart

[@BoBo-xo4zj]

I like how they are doing the opposite of Rich Rebuilds it’s very funny

[@Brxnden]

what’s up with the new orange car? already traded the yellow?

[@Cdd747]

Yo this is sick

[@Cdd747]

Bro what the frick

[@Wolfy887]

Stop the press, Throtl just released a 350E video🔥🔥🔥

[@jed1m1ndtr1cks]

I don't know if I'm slowly learning or if your way of explaining things is improving, but I am starting to understand what's going on hahaha One question, are parts like these upgradable in the future, as tech and batteries evolve?

[@Buckwired]

If the number of cells and current draw stay the same, we could change to an upgraded battery pack in a new enclosure using the same connectors. I’d bank of new battery technology meaning a completely different module shape size and weight. That’s why a new enclosure.

[@maddida]

Looking good boys

[@MeSessum]

Why isn’t the battery box weather sealed?

[@kuyatoast]

looks like it’s going to be a pain to remove a pack for maintenance/repair

[@MeSessum]

Should’ve configured it somehow so each battery could be slid out individually for replacement or repair. They have to take them all out to get to the bottom one.

[@heygarage5903]

Good job!👍

[@CorpseExplosion]

That battery box design really is something else. Amazing work. Also, digging that August Burns Red shirt!

[@souljazstruggle859]

Curious how this car will sound when finished 🤔 before my gsx , I wanted a 350z, vq’s sound incredible. Then it was brought to my attention they don’t even have a back seat lol

[@paulharvey4618]

Cant wait this is dopeee AF

[@MrErk1110]

I Love this Z!!!!

[@SgtStarSlayer]

???? Where is the coolant system for the battery packs?

[@MementoMori-kn4dh]

8:19 * insert J. Jonah Jamison you're serious *

[@davidrangeljr_]

The first video of this series was uploaded August of 2019. Has it really been that long????

[@burracing3742]

What does Will do in his free time? Maybe he should help NASA work on their ION propulsion systems, doesn't seem like it would be much of a challenge for him.

[@Joeboost8805]

Dude did you all take like elons engineering?? This is no joke here!!!

[@MauricioBarragan]

Only car Ive wanted

[@blackice892287]

Anyone know what paint they are using for the box ?

[@kuyatoast]

looks like bed liner

[@YungAntoine]

Imagining all the faces that they'll get when they roll up to a Tesla charger.

[@rickydomingo7]

1st start?

[@foster7517]

should of used a 370..... waaaaaay beter chassis an suspension

[@hdzri1657]

I need subtitles in spanish bro 🇲🇽😭😭😭

[@jdmfreak22]

There's something about batteries that calms him down 👌
