Tesla-Swapped 1972 Plymouth Satellite
Kevin Erickson transformed a 1972 Plymouth Satellite into an electric muscle car with a Tesla powertrain. Known as 'Electrolite,' this build retains its classic appearance while featuring a Tesla Model S rear drive motor and a 100-kWh battery pack split between the engine bay and trunk. It maintains a 45/55 weight distribution and delivers around 600 hp. The project was completed with help from Stealth EV and utilized custom push-rod suspension and Wilwood brakes.
