Maiden Voyage

Image
 It's alive and on the road!  I got all the HV wiring done, tested the precharger, fired up the power steering and power brakes, wired up the ignition key, installed a computer for the gauge dash app, hooked up the CANbus, and took it out for a spin.  Very exciting stuff.

The Transplant is Successful

Image
I've successfully transplanted all the components from the donor Tesla Model S into my 1973 BMW 3.0 CS coupe.  The last organs to be inserted were the 10 battery modules up front.  Now, all 14 batteries are in place, the motor, inverter, and differential unit is installed, the iBooster is operational, and even the Tesla electric air conditioning compressor is in place.
