ECDs fully custom builds move through 20 different assembly stations, for a total investment of around 2,200 hours of labor. Tesla-fying a vintage Rover is done in such a way as to preserve as much of the original structure and driving dynamics as possible. So the Tesla motor and direct drive unit are turned 90 degrees and mounted about where the old transfer case went. So instead of powering the left and right rear wheels of a Model S, the Tesla bits power the two offset driveshafts that spin the original live axles with a straight-up 50/50 torque split (and no low range). To withstand the Tesla motors 450 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, the SUVs original axles are upgraded with GBR Utah limited-slip differentials, Ashcroft half-shafts, and reinforced driveshafts from Tom Woods/Quadratec. Tesla battery modules are repackaged in two boxes, a big one that goes in the engine compartment and a smaller one that mounts inside the cargo area; the battery cooling system rides beneath the rear of the chassis. Together, these battery modules amount to 110 kWh of capacity. Charging is via a standard CCS Level 2 charging plug located behind the fuel-filler door. Sorry, theres no Tesla Supercharging or DC fast charging. This drivetrain swap adds about 1,400 pounds (6,400 total), much of it in the rear, so to bolster the GVW rating and achieve the proper ride height and body attitude, ECD puts the old Range Rover on air springs. Other chassis modifications include a switch to rear brake calipers that incorporate an electric parking brake a major upgrade over the rear-driveshaft-mounted drum brake and, to clear the front battery box, replacing the original hydraulic steering unit with one from a P38 Range Rover (1994-2001) thats powered by an electric pump.
