REMOVING A TESLA'S BATTERY TO REPLACE WITH A DIESEL ENGINE

EV Channels Review

This video documents the ambitious and unconventional project of converting a Tesla Model 3 into a diesel-powered vehicle, dubbed 'Model D'. The host, Rich, details the process of removing the Tesla's battery to make way for a Cummins diesel engine, sourced from a bread truck. The narrative highlights the practical challenges of the conversion, including the difficulty of extracting the battery pack and the potential risks associated with towing an electric vehicle. While the video touches upon the logistics of the swap, the primary focus remains on the absurdity and novelty of the concept, contrasting the electric nature of modern vehicles with the reliance on diesel for transportation. The review also includes unrelated segments on ice fishing, Super Bowl commercials, and a plug for the 'Fishing Clash' game, which detracts from the core automotive content.
