The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
A Tesla auto parts shop owner in Sacramento, Yaro Shcherbanyuk, spent about $40,000 and two years converting a 1966 Ford Mustang into a fully functional Tesla-powered vehicle. The conversion includes a Model 3 dual-motor drivetrain, 15-inch touchscreen, and working 'Full Self-Driving' (Supervised) — likely the first non-Tesla vehicle to run FSD. The car achieves 258 Wh/mi, roughly matching the efficiency of an actual Model 3. The Mustang was found on Facebook Marketplace and underwent extensive modifications including battery packs, wiring, and structural changes.
