Tesla powered 818 Walkaround _

[@trambletomerlin3606]

I’d love to see your parts list for this. Awesome build.

[@AldenPoole]

Keep it up This project is crazy cool. You're already faster than a 2019 Bugatti Chiron in the 1/4 mile!

[@jonaswa.2110]

That is so insane right

[@JimCraig_riced]

10/10 would drive.

[@kevinrobinson7740]

Great job. I would love to see a build video.

[@palkaivanov2840]

Cost, weight and range? What a beautiful project

[@BLUEBIRD-1960]

You Gotta keep a cool head when you’re going through commuter traffic in that thing. Great work! Thanks for sharing.

[@Cre8Lounge]

Now that is a car for Doug Demuro to see. This has got P1 specs

[@cghoward70]

What was the 0-60 time and normal driving range with the single motor setup? I would sacrifice speed for range. More battery and a little storage as a daily driver.

[@LiamOlders]

So amazing. I WANT IT!!

[@alpzepta]

It’s literally a Tesla Roaster!

[@reviewcrewforyou]

Thanks guys! Literally just asked you guys where you been and what you been up to. You think this could all fit in a 987 cayman?

[@thentherewassway2324]

Do you think a similar setup can be with Factory 5 Roadster?

[@TommyB444]

Any factory 5 kit car with the same drivetrain should work same transmission and drivetrain should work ask factory 5

[@patrickcameron2950]

This is really cool. Great job!

[@Cepted]

How did you manage to get the kit plated etc? I’m in Ottawa and have been dying to build one.

[@brandonjennings2848]

Awesome build. I know nothing about EV. When you installed two Volt battery packs did you do them in series or parallel? Did you do it to up the voltage, the peak amps, or to increase range? So if I wanted to do a similar build but was willing to trade range for weight loss, could this be done with the single battery pack? Great work man. Really dig the AWD

[@RLDeMerritt]

FKn Awesome Build!!!!

[@cerealsavage]

How much would this cost? Did you guys use the EV west kit as a base?

[@JoshuaChaitinPollak]

When you say you have two Volt battery packs installed, does that mean you have two full Chevy Volt's worth of batteries in it?

[@evcontrols6945]

That's right.

Has Rich Rebuilds Seen this Yet?...WOW!...Dual Motors from a Tesla Model S P100D, weighs 2700+ Ib.s, just under 800HP and can run a 9.0 sec.s 1/4 Mile at over 130+ mph!...What's is the Range in its current Configuration?...I am going assume that it can be Charged from home?...Lastly, How much does it Cost to Build a Similar All Electric Factory 5 818 Coupe even a 65 Couple ?...I am Just Saying!...God Bless America! 😇 BTW!...I would like to see you Guys to Build a EV Factory 5 New Mid-Engine F9/F9-R!...I am Just Saying!

[@ourstate100]

I have really wanted to do something like this. anywhere you can point me to learn more about this stuff? I have a good basic knowledge of EVs but never done a project this big.

[@brotherbryan2414]

That car is awesome, you mention the tires what are the size? I hate to be critical on something that is so well done but the seams on the car are terrible particularly on the hood. I know the car was probably built more for performance than cosmetic. But having said that This thing is awesome

[@eddieholly648]

I just messaged your website for a few inquiries. Hopefully you guys see it

[@kylesi2nr]

How much money has been spent on this thing? How many hours of work have been put into it? Would u guys accept money from customers for you guys to duplicate this exact setup? Well done! The car seems awesome! That's so fast...

[@kylesi2nr]

Also, would you ever sell this car? If so, what would you realistically expect/want to get out of it?

[@mattw3379]

@@kylesi2nr I am in BC Canada and am starting a EV shop building this exact same car, over and over again, I am looking for build commissions, I plan to use a full Tesla battery pack though to get 400+ km range, but the Volt batteries would be quite a bit cheaper.

[@lamatyler]

@@mattw3379 hey matt, have you built any yet?

[@mattw3379]

No, but its not hard to do, have done several other conversions, its like a big huge RC car. Just with one RWD tesla drive unit its a 10 second car with lots of room for batteries.

[@phage6982]

@@mattw3379 could things like regenerative breaking and a motor per wheel be realistic with these?

[@domoniquebrooks816]

What’s the front/rear weight balance on this thing?

[@ericbarlaanmusic1265]

Do you still have the car?

[@OlavAlexanderMjelde]

Do you have kits for this? :-)

[@Cokecanninja]

How much does this beast weigh? I know the 818 is very light, but the batteries probably add a decent amount

[@josephk6136]

I believe he said 2700 lbs.

[@looniethemoonie5353]

Dude, this is freaking awesome! Whats the range on this?

[@jw33]

There is some wicked feedback or something messing up the sound in this video.

[@EdwardBoicourtIV]

....That's wind

[@jonaswa.2110]

how much range do you get with those chevy batteries?

[@FRWD_FXLRST]

Est cost?

[@mattw3379]

for parts, its approx $25,000, then need to put it all together, I am starting a EV conversion business building exactly these cars, but with Tesla battery packs too

[@tomconway6808]

@@mattw3379 I assume that is $25,000 plus the cost of a Factory Five 818 rolling chassis right?

[@matt889]

Yes

[@brotherbryan2414]

Cool

[@thisisacrummyname]

I’m curious about the interior room of the 818, I’m 6’3” tall with a large frame and wide shoulders. I have noticed I do not fit in allot of modern sports cars. How large of a person can fit in the 818? Also I was curious about the drive range your car can travel with it’s current configuration.

[@fattydubs918]

Range is about 120 miles

[@MrDericp]

What kind of range are you getting when driving to work and back or weekend cruising?

[@evcontrols6945]

120 miles

[@KoaBosk]

I want to do this with the GT

[@subieworx]

Who built this?

[@evcontrols6945]

We built the car to use for testing the controller we offer on our website.

[@randallmason9687]

Did You get the drive line parts from salvaged cars?

[@evcontrols6945]

Yes, we did.

[@Reggie6447]

Is this shop just off Merivale?

[@fishstick5]

Yep.

[@bmorenerde]

cant imagine the price tag.

Is either one of your motors upside down? If so how are you keeping it lubes? Looks very nice.

[@evcontrols6945]

No, neither motor is upside down.
