- Tesla Performance motor swap into a 2007 Mustang GT. Whether or not it's a sacrilege to sacrifice a perfectly nice 2007 Mustang with a 175,000 miles on it to make a slot car with a Tesla motor is yet to be seen. It should be an interesting build with I'm sure tons of comments from lovers and haters of the ICE and E-CAR world. All in all I hope to be able to educate some people to the time and cost of doing a conversion and the good, the bad, and the ugly. It should be a really fun adventure and I'm really jazzed to be the one doing it. I have been referring to it as the MUSKTANG but I'm not sure whether that's right or wrong.

This has been my dream project for a long time. I'm incredibly excited to see that someone's actually doing it! I love this generation of Mustang, and I've always wanted an electric one. Definitely going to follow this build with great interest, and learn what I can for when I eventually convert one myself.
Hi, The project has been a blast. I also love the retro look of the 2007 era Mustangs. I just took it to the Ford dealer today to get the airbag recall done and they did it without any hesitation. Seemed like all the mechanics in the dealership where all over the car and I answered tons of questions. Lots of fun.
I know you’re done (I’m watching in reverse), but you are moving fast! Love the vids and your positivity. Keep me coming!
Just found your channel>> Thanks for sharing!!!
wow, I admire your confidence to tackle a project with many unknown , lot of "as it happen" engineering. It inspire me to start a project I was afraid of !
Hi Marc, Projects are just that, figuring out the unknown. Just go for it, it will all work out.
Spot weld remover = Rotor broach ! Very cool video !
Great to see you posting how to convert EV, I am looking to do a similar conversion, will learn a lot from you.
I am doing a rwd swap into my crx. using the non performance tesla motor and 12 lg chem batteries. I am currently designing cooling plates for the batteries though. Can't wait to watch the series through. Hope I can potentially bug your ear as I am just about to mount the motor
Good luck.
Great video. Do you know what the weight of the Tesla subframe and power unit is? Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hi, I'll know this weekend as I have a Model 3 subframe/motor and Model S subframe/motor arriving Friday. I weighed the Mustang sport motor by itself and if I remember correctly it was right at 300 lbs.
@@Roadstercycle Thank you for your prompt reply. Your videos have been a wealth of information, particularly detailing the Open Inverter product. The weight of the Model 3 as well as verification of the Model S would be the cherry on top. 👍
@@ckafam Happy to do it for everyone. I ordered a 660 lb scale yesterday so we could find out. My other scale only went to 330 lbs so I was not going to be able to weigh the whole suspension.
@@ckafam Model 3 subframe and motor 433 lbs. Model S subframe and motor. 577 lbs. 144 lb difference, I was shocked. About a 25% weight difference. I like it.
@@Roadstercycle Brilliant. Thanks for the info and all the best with your next project. I have subscribed and will be watching closely. Thanks
Did you use an HSR 057 controller? I am building a 66 Mustang Tesla swap. Love your stuff so far!
No I did not. Unless things have changed you can not buy a HSR 057 controller unless you buy a Tesla motor setup with it. Very expensive doing it that way. I bought my controller from Damien McGuire in Ireland. EVBMW webshop. It's a stand alone controller board paid about $500 for it. If the HSR 057 can be bought alone now I'd like to know. Let me know.
@@Roadstercycle sadly you do still have to purchase them together. I bit the bullet and bought the kit. Have you done any hard pulls in your Mustang yet? I will be watching all your videos tonight after the kids go to bed.
@@zephyrsspeedshop3708 I just got a Dragy today. I'll find a safe place to do some pulls. I'm curious too.
Wow i wanted to upload my dumb builds and I run into this ch, and richbuilds, and kilovolts channels and now im not so ready to upload again. Thanks. Lol
Hi, Upload your builds. If someone can use just one of your ideas and it helps them start a project or helps them with their existing project consider it an honor and be happy that you were able to help someone. I look forward to seeing them.
@@Roadstercycle perfect thank you
Hi, where did you buy this Motor from.
I bought my motor from Alpha wrecking in New York.
Hey there, I got a question, is it possible to adapt a Tesla electric AC compressor onto a project eV car?
Yes, I don't see any reason why not.
@@Roadstercycle I mean would it work without having tamper with it?
@@eddyboh2723 I'm really not sure what you mean by tamper with it?
@@Roadstercycle I mean, will it be needing a software/hardware adjustments as the drive unit or will it be able to operate directly without any adjustments done?
@@eddyboh2723 Hi Eddy, I am not 100% sure that you won't have to do some manipulation of Canbus. I've never had a unit to test. It may be just as easy as having a relay to turn on the DC voltage to the air conditioner pump motor. I would need a unit to test.
In Russia there's a company that puts a 69 mustang on a Tesla frame and power train. Cheap.
Please tell what cheap means. $75,000?
A while back I was trying to learn electric system and watched a lot of Damien's videos but he's as boring person as can be and also always skips on the most important thing
He is a boring genius. You need to watch at 1.25 speed that will help.
