Hi Everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has experience or advice on controllers for the Model 3 rear drive unit for an EV conversion. I'm aware of two options:
Ingenext:

TESLA MODEL 3/Y BATTERY & MOTOR CONTROLLER

TESLA MODEL 3\Y BATTERY &/or MOTOR CONTROLLER Select the controller you need for your project : - Battery - Motor - Battery & Motor - Battery & dual motor * For off road use only* Find more info about our controller here* Programming of motors and batteries is included in the price* Customs...

ingenext.ca

and EV-controls T-2C:

EV Controls T-2C

www.ev-controls.com

Both have some minor pro's and cons for convenience (programming over iPad vs PCAN) and price although the cheaper (ingenext) needs me to send the inverter so that might work out neutral in the end.

I used the Ingenix for my Tesla 3 battery controller. Fwiw I had a very good experience with Ingenix....they responded to my many questions and the reflash session went smoothly. I am not using the Tesla 3 drive unit so can't really comment on that.

I don't see the EV Controls app in the App Store. Got a link to it?

Thanks that’s helpful, I’ll keep it in mind

Yeah I found it in the documentation. Says it is not compatible with my iPhone. But seems to work on my iPad.

Hey @daggyPants, I was just wondering whether you managed to find out more about Tesla Model 3 rear drive unit controllers? I am starting a new project and I have the same concerns. Thank you.

I have been following work that Damien is doing with other people at openinverter forum, but their work is not done yet, as in, it's not "consumer" ready yet.

Ingenext seems to be sold out on the motor controller side. All variants 🤨

Their programmer, Remi, no longer works at Ingenext. It's not that they are sold out, it's more an issue of Ingenext not being able to support new sales. Or existing customers.
