Building a TESLA SWAPPED 350Z in 27 minutes! [COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION]

[@chrishorsburgh7054]

So happy that the interior got finished too... So many times with builds like these you see people just throw some sheet panels up to 'finish' it and the car feels half done. Looks so good with the stock-ish interior 🤤

[@Nichodo]

and with that IPad dashboard too :D

I work as an electrical designer for an EV company and this is some awesome work! Just a reminder though to make sure to have proper PPE when working within the battery box especially around the battery cells. All in all, a great result at the end!

[@davebirch2543]

I just randomly stumbled on this vid and my mind is blown. I've seen a few channels now showing off electric conversions but most of them, while being well done still look like a car that has had the electric side tacked on. This conversion isn't just a swap from petrol to electric, it's a thing of beauty. That dash setup and the little touches like the clear window turning the battery bay into a feature makes the entire theme so cohesive you could fool anyone into thinking this is a concept car from Telsa themselves.

[@djbis]

Proof that tuning and hooning isn't going anywhere. Electric or ICE as long as it turns, makes little difference whether the power comes from batteries or fuel. these are the first baby steps into a future that we will love eventhough some can't even imagine it yet. This project is awesome, can't wait to see more like it.

[@vannianibigno5674]

I remember when TJ surprised Evan with the 350z. I followed the build since then. Awesome build!

man i wouldve loved to drive this car bro. already knowing what a tesla feels like this wouldve been like an extension between my love for race cars and electric cars

[@TUGBOND007]

This build was very slept upon

[@manuelmoraila3386]

Imagine the Tesla S engine in the rear powering the rear tires then installing a K20 in the front and the K20 powering the front wheels making it AWD but also giving you the option to run either engine on its own. Yeah it’s over board and would be over complicating things but non the less it would be a sick ass build 😎

[@jankmechanix]

350E would be cool for a custom badge on the rear

[@govardhanmadhavam3419]

Incredible work, such a clean swap. With all due respect though, you gotta put that liberty walk kit back on. The car looked incredible with it; honestly, no wheels are worth going that wide.

[@JaredWyns]

I love this build. I'm hoping to have something like this done to my 350z in the coming years

[@DarkslayerNinja]

Same.

[@TheMrRichard]

Eww. why?

[@JaredWyns]

@@TheMrRichard I did say 'something like this' as I have a few qualms with the design, but the concept of a tesla swap and going electric is quite appealing. I'll be moving to a place with a lot of nature/wildlife, so I don't need something super noisy.

[@TheMrRichard]

@@JaredWyns Appealing? The car world has apparently turned into a sad and tragic place.

[@JaredWyns]

​@@TheMrRichard I enjoy the rumble and such just as much as anyone, but I know long-term it isn't sustainable. Plus, the power you can get from a properly tuned electric rotor is nuts. I can already work on regular cars, but as I'm shifting to microelectronics and programming as is the industry, a swap would make more sense. That said, I may just end up getting an Aptera instead. I do love the 350z body though, I prefer the smoother curves over the more aggressive or retro recent models. At the end of the day I'd prefer a private spaceship over a fartwagon. To each their own though. I'm fully aware my own taste contrasts with that of many others. I don't care much though as it'll be my ride and I'd rather it perform well for me. I have zero care of what society thinks as long as it'll pass inspection/registration/safety.

Could I ask you something since you have already been doing this for a while. Could you use a much smaller battery but also a turbo engine to act as a generator for the electric motors? I always wondered why hybrids don't just go with a gas engine and electric motors but instead keep using gearbox and differential?

you’re basically thinking of range extender hybrids which do already exist lol
