You won't need new bushings. PEM will likely be fine but eventually you'll need it worked on ($5,000); battery is fine.
I couldn't determine the range. I hope its around 170 miles. Anyone know the range on the car?

Does the odo need to be km also (or is it selectable already)? Wondering if replacing the applique is feasible.Start with the speedo. you need a km/hr speedo before you gp any further, the airbag sticker you can print yourself, the immobilizer will depend on the testing station, the schematics show an immobilizer so you can get away with it, the side lights you can add some led strips inside the lights. Its doable but the big problem is the speedo, tesla do not have any more, the last one sold to someone in London, Ontario. I tried to but it 2 years ago but got stonewalled.
I wonder if you could get away with sending the cluster to speedhut and have them make a new face / calibrate to KMH?Does the odo need to be km also (or is it selectable already)? Wondering if replacing the applique is feasible.
Yeah, usually, the shafts stick through the motors to prevent loading the bearings when the pointers are added. Unless there is enough shaft showing to grab with pliers, removal could damage it. Theoretically, the motor could be replaced (but probably out of manufacturer)I may indeed. I have researched this extensively! The Lotus speedos cannot be used as the warning lights are all different. I looked at getting a new face-plate made and there is a company here in the UK who could do it for less than the price of a new MPH speedo from Tesla (who still have UK style MPH speedos but not km/h ones). Though it is easy to get the clear plastic cover off, the needles are firmly welded to the spindles and I could not remove them. I have taken advice from an instrument specialist who thinks that he may be able to remove them but cannot be sure that he could do so without damaging the motor drives and he does not recognise the particular motors and does not therefore have any spares. I have all but decided to buy a new one from Tesla, if I do, I will be open to offers for my km/h one.
Yes, but consider the current alternative is not getting the car on the road. A single spirited drive in the car should make up for a lot of slices.I did consider cutting the face but it would be impossible to hide and would always annoy me far more than it should.
