Why not just keep all that hardware? At the end of the day, it all communicates over a CAN bus or equivalent, and there are a bunch of DIY projects to effectively communicate with the various ECUs. Thank god Tesla is yet to go the way of Apple in locking down hardware against “unauthorized” modifications. I think worst case is they cut you out of supercharging.

I think the more challenging bit would be separating the battery from the vehicle. If it’s built anything like the “structural pack” in the Y, the only way to remove it is with a hacksaw.
