450hp Tesla powered 1969 VW Crew Cab - UTTERLY INSANE !

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I have been working with Electric Classic Cars since last summer, bringing the amazing work they do converting classic cars to run on electric power to the small screen. We have a TV show coming out this year.
In this video I get to show you the simply awesome 1969 VW Crew Cab owned by the genius behind ECC...my mate Richard Morgan. This epic VW bus is running a 450 horsepower large Tesla motor from a Model S and a 100kw battery pack from a Model X ! You can imagine how crazy this thing is !

    If this helps keep older cars on the road then I am all for it. Surely less damage to the environment as well. I wish this company every success. Well done. And well done for highlighting. Keep it up!

    As for being less damage to the environment, it depends on you use case. If you use it frequently then yes, it would be better for the environment, but if you only wan't to drive it occasionally (car shows, etc.) then it could take more than a decade to make up for the emissions of manufacturing a battery.

    Heck ya... Maybe the best thing about Tesla is that we have amazing parts to use. Behind us are the days of only having fork lift DC hardware. Don't get me wrong, BEV converters have done amazing things with such cheap low tech parts for decades. If you think EVs can't be "worked on", then your just not using your imagination properly. We have been getting our hands dirty on this stuff for at least a half century. And I can still be a Tesla fan boy and a greese monkey at the same time! This thing is a #EVGrin mega machine!

    Ever heard about helicoil? When some dork has damaged the thread of for instance a sparkplug hole, you insert a far stronger thread. All light alloy racing engines have helicoils installed just in case. Why don't you know these things? You had never lost that sparkplug. No way. You killed that engine yourself. Why?! OMG!

    As a former petrol head, cars, bikes, jet ski kinda came out of the scene when the police had the power to confiscate your sound install or worse, your pride and joy and crush it. It’s nice to have that passion reignited with this electric era. If only I still had my RST S1/2 Escort or my S-type Jag. Van life ahead, is a consideration once employed, plenty of saving for a EV conversion for the Movano. Is there anyway I can get involved with your business, your mission, your passion with Ol Skool vehicles with modern technology? Thanks for sharing, your time and consideration. Inspiring and brought back a huge smile. Shame the fiesta turned left lol

When the Tesla Model S P85 came along in UK in 2014 it ticked all the boxes and 92,000 UK miles later I still cant get over how fast and how much fun it is. To take the Tesla drive train and implant into street sleeper classics thats the future hod rod, there is just no fu*king about with a crew cab P100 stuck in ludicrous....genius.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this! I have a 1967 Dbl cab with a 1904cc in it and it is “fast” compared the original 1500! Lol fun truck! ✌️
