If the EV conversion kits work with refurbished Tesla batteries, what makes it difficult to work with refurbished Cybertruck batteries?
Probably size. Often times that seems to be the problem, where to put the battery since Teslas are built with it already part of the chassis. OP's question stemmed from just tearing down to the battery and frame, and there's a lot more to it than that. The question would be, what is the minimum needed of a Tesla to work?
Also, I don't know much of a Tesla battery is internally managed vs. outside, but I think the interface is a lot more than just a red and black wire.
Also-also...in the spirit of this particular forum, moving from a ICE to an EV is a very small percentage of a solution since it's still a car with all the baggage, just a bit less pollution in the air.
