Tesla Electric Car Motor?
by Art
Which motor is used in the Tesla? And does anyone convert old cars? Hi, Art - The Tesla, I believe, has a 3-phase, 4-pole AC induction motor. Someone correct me if I heard wrong; ) As for your second question, yes, people convert old cars, but old cars have their pitfalls to avoid. Pitfall one: Even if you find an old girl that's not falling apart, old cars get tired, and need things replaced. Those things become scarcer the more years go by (and so more expensive). Conversion is a big investment, so people tend to make that investment in a younger car rather than an older one. Pitfall two: Old cars were built when gas was cheap, so they tend to be heavy and about as aerodynamic as a brick. Nice to look at, but a heavy, draggy car will take a lot more battery juice to drag around, so they're not as practical to convert as a newer, lighter car. Having said that? Sometimes you just gotta ignore everybody's good advice and convert the car you love. Regards, Lynne
