AEM's Tesla Swapped C10 Project Hits The Road

[Shifty One]

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.

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

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.
