Large projects don’t scare the Youtubeur Jimmy Built. In fact, this man has undertaken a project to transplant the powertrain from a Tesla in a Honda Accord 1981.

As you can see in the video, you only need 2.7 seconds to cross the mark of 60 mph (96 km/h). But this is not all, it is estimated that under optimal conditions, it could reduce this time by two-tenths.

The acceleration is most rapid.

This car that he has dubbed “Teslonda” combines both the technology of Chevrolet and Tesla in the carcass of an old Honda Accord. He opted for a battery from a Chevy Volt, since the latter is able to withstand a shock more intense than that of the vehicle Tesla.
