Electric Conversion input

From what I understand, it will be an absolute nightmare. Mechanically, Tesla's are simple, but their computers are complex. I feel like there are a lot easier ways of doing an EV swap.

I'd probably start with a 9" diameter or greater forklift motor and connect it to a manual transmission. If you want something "cooler" or have better performance, you'd probably have more luck picking up a Model S or X rear subframe and motor and fabricating that into the back of an A-body.
