I am looking for exact dimensions of a Tesla 85kw battery pack. I see that Jack has the rough dimensions on his site but I am hoping to find more detailed information. This is what Jack provided on his website. http://store.evtv.me/proddetail.php?prod=TeslaModelSPack

I am planning on building an aluminum trailer and I need to know what size to make the frame so I can bolt the battery to the bottom side of the trailer. I dont own a 85kw pack yet so I am also in the market for one of those as well. Let me know if you see one for sale.

Anyone? Im sure someone here has one laying in their garage right now. lol

I want to order my trailer but I need to know the dimensions of the battery.

Thanks!

We just had one delivered (minus the cells) to our workshop. I don't have the exact dimensions, but the battery *just* fits in the tray of an F250 trayback pickup truck. I think it's 2.4 m long and 1.4 m wide.

I am more looking for the dimensions of the mounting lip. My plan is to build an aluminum frame and bolt the battery to the frame.

Thank you. Just need a little more info if you have the time.

Sure - I'm back at work on Tuesday so give me a reminder and I can measure it when I get in. You want measurements from the boltholes around the edge?

Yes please! Just need to know what size frame to build for starters. Picture a frame all around it then a diamond pattern wire mesh over top of it. I am searching for a good price on a good tesla pack but I want to start getting quotes and put an order in on the trailer.

So the whole thing is 2670 mm long and 1540 mm wide (a colleague needed the pen before I got a chance to write the width down).

I didn't measure these with a CNC or anything, but hopefully this helps.

Thank you! Are those numbers including the mounting flange on the sides? I want to build a frame and mount the back to the frame. But I need to know what size the frame needs to be in order for the pack to bolt to it.

All those dimensions are to the inside of the ~35 mm flange. If you build a frame with a vacant rectangle of these dimensions, it will be a snug fit.

So if I made a frame that was 2670 mm long and 1540 mm wide it would drop right in and bolt to the frame?

Yes - if the inside of said rectangular frame was 2670 mm long and 1540 mm wide, it should lower neatly inside it and be supported by the rails. If it's a bit of a loose fit you can always weld flat bar down the edge to make it snug.

Awesome! Thank you so much!

I put this together for everyone. Enjoy

If you find any of the measurements to be off let me know.
