Long time member here, I remember back when Mate Rimac was just one of us and not an EV Supercar CEO.
I always have and still want to work on a DIY EV project but was taken by the performance and value of the model 3 performance, so i bought one.
However I would like to get this community's opinions, advice and guidance on increasing the performance of the P3D.
I had a few ideas and once you deem me crazy I would be interested to hear new ideas from you all.
(1) install an independently powered and controlled 3rd motor (Tesla model s front motor) on to a 5th wheel that would make contact to the road under/within the rear trunk.
(2) install an independently powered and controlled 3rd motor (Tesla model s front motor) to the rear of the model 3 and connect the inner cv axles of the oem rear motor and 3rd motor with a belt or chain, on both sides of course, to couple the oem rear motor and 3rd motor together.
(3) install hub motors at the output of the tesla oem motor gearbox and get custom shorter cv shafts made.
I do realize that all the options represent a lot of work and would require material amounts of customization, i guess i am wondering if they are even possible from an engineering and reliability perspective.
Is there another more obvious option I am missing?
Advice?
