For sale is a Tesla Motor that I bought for an EV conversion that never happened. Was sold to me as a a working unit, but I've never run it so I'm selling it "As Is". That being said, I have no reason to doubt it will work. Looks solid and the car I got it from was a in a front end crash. The only defect I can see is that the socket shield on the plug has a corner chipped off. I was planning on using sealer, but also figured I could rebuild it with JB Weld. I'm listing it as Pickup Only, but I'll work with your trucker to get it to you. If you need me to put it on a Pallet, I can go buy one and strap in on. Figure on $150 extra if you need me to strap it to a pallet. The following is a chat GPT description, but please don't bank it. Please Please Please only bid on this if you know what it is based on the serial numbers and the pictures. Again, I have no reason to doubt the description, but details matter when making something fit in a car! So please be sure this is what you need. Selling below the average for these unit to get it out of my garage sooner rather than later.
