At least it doesn't look like the millions of other guppies, but still not for me.

Love everything about it!
My Burb needs this swap.

Re: AEM's Tesla Swapped C10 Project Hits The Road
 

Interesting.... I like that the swap had no/minimal external visual impact. I'll have to check the web & see if there's a build series/diary for it.

I bet it's fast!
Not for me though. But it is cool in its own way

Re: AEM's Tesla Swapped C10 Project Hits The Road
 

your comment made me think of something, isn't it strange how EV mods are frowned upon but, C nothching, slamming, or lifting, chopping or stretching or adding doors and hood cowls is deemed acceptable

just a thought

are you set on the Tesla Large Drive Unit aka LDU motor/inverter rear motor rear wheel drive power plant, or are you open to something more conventional like this: My EV Truck Conversion Walk Through

'EV mods' being frowned upon is debatable.

What's not debatable is the costs involved building/swapping & maintaining the vehicle + the learning curve to safely get it done. I'd bet they negate a significant portion of the interest.

C-notching, slamming, lifting, chopping, stretching, body mods, & late model drivetrain swaps are far less costly in the big scheme of things as they are mods that have been done successfully for decades resulting in the 'how to/DIY' learning curve being easily accessed & hot-rodder pocket friendly.

That AEM C10 is a 100k truck most likely. Can one be built cheaper? Sure. But quality components, integration ability, & EV propulsion Safety are not yet common knowledge for the average DIY/budget minded builder.
