1958 Tesla Swapped Chevy Apache - AKA -  the "TeslApache" built by Electric 51 Speed Shop in Salt Lake City Utah has been terrorizing Car+Truck Show Auto Cross tracks over the last 5-6 years. It's been featured in both Street Trucks Magazine and EV Builder's Guide and was driven by Dave Kindig and KevDogg on an episode of Bitch'n Rides back in 2023. 

The truck is powered by a Tesla Model S rear drive unit that pushes 400HP and unrelenting electric torque straight to the wheels. Stopping all that power is a Wilwood Power Brake Booster connected to a standalone GM vacuum pump and 4 wheel Disc brakes. To help get in out out of those slippery autocross course cones, the power steering is run by a Volvo s40 stand alone electric power steering pump connected to the Camaro power steering box. Yes, Camaro steering box, it sits on a 1981 Camaro front suspension that has been fit with Ridetech Shockwaves for air ride up front and a modified Cadillac suspension in the rear with 2500 Vixen air bags. 

The battery pack is a 3P6S LG chem pack managed by a Dilithium Designs BMS. There are two packs of nine modules, one under the cab between the frame rails and one under the hood over the front suspension. The Tesla Large Drive unit is controller via Bluetooth with EV Controls app on a phone, or iPad. The truck charges with any j1772 compatible level 2 charger, but does not fast charge. 

This truck has been more than amazing but its time to build the next one and let someone else enjoy this one. - $73K OBO -
