I know a guy here in Brisbane who has bought and stripped two Model X wrecks.
First one was badly rolled and he got it for around $20k.
Second one was a stat write off that looked almost showroom fresh.
Batteries from the first went into a Mk1 Cortina with a Hyper9 AC motor running through the original gearbox.
Battery cooling system runs through two large Pc cooling radiators.
The second one is going into a Kombi using the Tesla drive unit as well.
Batrium now have plug in adapters for their BMS to run Tesla modules.
For a 240 I would be using a Leaf motor... In Us wrecking yards for $1k every day, probably easy to get ex Japan too. Another $1k for a controller that hacks the leaf inverter.
80kW stock rating, but they have been driven to 200kW for short bursts. 120 should be easy.
They have a splined output shaft so adapters are easy.
10,000rpm so a 2:1 reduction like a rock crawler under drive unit would give you around 500Nm and 5,000rpm...3.9 or 3.7 diff should go rather well.
That or run it directly into the auto box with programmable controller and an electric power steer pump with accumulator to give line pressure while stationary. Have it shift up at 9,000 and back down again at 8,000 and it will be a rocket...
