Tesla Model 3 rear subframe/suspension, 3D scanned and reverse engineered

[Ovidiu]

Hello everybody, I am working on converting a 1949 Cadillac Sixty Special to electric via a Tesla Model 3 donor car. As part of the initial teardown stages, I took off the rear subframe and the suspension arms and 3D scanned / reverse engineered them in an assembly. I posted the results on Reddit and MattsAwesomeStuff suggested I post it here as well because folks will be interested.

And a little animation of the suspension flex:

P.S. If there's interest in the car build, I can post it as well.

Might take me a few days to catch up with all the progress so far.

So I'm not against sharing it, but I won't be posting it publicly for free. I'll gladly give it for free to people doing something good for the community here. PM me if you need it and we can talk.
