    One cool fact is that both your Tacoma and the Tesla were built in the same factory in Fremont. (At least most likely).

    Cool project - I hope to start doing some EV conversions soon. I have had a 2015 Leaf for several weeks now and have started hacking on the CAN bus and researching battery swaps. I can also swap the inverter from the 80kW to 160kW to “supercharge” my performance :D

    With plans to autocross, do you have any plans to do some enhancing other than just the conversion?

    yes it will have the Brembo front brakes, full ride tech coilovers front and rear, bigger sway bar in the rear, I feel like a 1st gen Tacoma with IRS should perform fairly well, just gotta figure out the weight bias problem I’ll have

    Might be able to put some battery weight up front, plus if you have AC and power steering components that'll help.

    That would certainly be slick, though it would limit use to Tesla destination chargers since the Supercharging cords would not be long enough to reach. Granted, there are few Supercharging stations that are open to non-Teslas currently, though that is changing. TBD on what the manufactures do that adopt the NACS plug for 2025, if they will all put them in the rear quarter panel like Tesla to be compatible with the cord length or Tesla starts changing the chargers to offer longer cords for non-Tesla vehicles.

    What are your plans for the brake booster? With no ICE to provide vacuum, you'll be losing the vacuum booster functionality. You're going to need to swap to an electronically boosted brake setup.

    Looking forward to this. Also nice to that you have a forward-looking open-minded approach to EVs. This should be pretty cool.

    I gotta know. Are you going to haul electric lawnmowers in it?
