The motors and inverters in the Model 3 drive units are vastly different to those in the Model s and x. Design of a logic board is on hold as I have not yet had access to a Model 3 drive unit.

Here’s an idea: loan one of the motors to Damien to figure out the control boards

If the car can be put back on the road then i'd recommend doing that work because it will teach you a lot about the Tesla systems.
If the car can't be put back on the road then i'd recommend stripping out all the electronics and get it working on the bench.
In either scenario you'll end up with a lot more knowledge and a working platform that you can transfer into another car with or without open source controllers.

The bms is already being hacked. See latest EVTV video. If you are sending me a motor then please include driveshafts and both hv and lv wiring connectors.

You need to send both motors...front and rear are electrically different

I second that! Maybe we as a community could arrange some money for shipping it?

Well, I'll repeat my offer from before. If an M3 drive unit or units arrive in my workshop I'll develop and test an open source control system at my cost and time. The donor will get motor back with a working controller. I will then sell the control board to recoup some money and of course all will be on github, youtube and on here for all to see. I won't buy a drive unit or pay shipping. That's up to the community. Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread.

We had 5 people interested in supporting the effort to crowdfund the purchase of the model 3 motors (here) and I would expect more now that the community has grown. So funding the shipping shouldn't be a big ask (maybe we could even sweeten the deal with a free PCB for anyone who contributes to the shipping).
I have one alternative suggestion... chuck the two motors in your car and drive to Ireland during one of our courses (here). I'll give you the course for free in return

Hi all! Tomorow we will decide what we will do with the Tesla.
Is a verry intresting proposal to drive to Ireland:)
Our biggest concern is to have a functional battery and motors
Thank you for intrest and much appreciated for your help.
