The crew took it back to their shop and immediately started cutting the floor out. Despite the cars' similar size, swapping the Tesla onto the Dodge wasn't as straightforward as expected; they had to cut off and rework nearly the entire front section of the Challenger plus a significant part of the rear to accommodate the Tesla's suspension. And that was only the start of the extensive modifications made to fit the parts accurately.
Host Kyle Wade said he got this even brighter idea when he realized that the Model S has a nearly identical wheelbase to a Challenger. The remarkably similar size would allow them to package the Model S' battery, motors and other internals more easily than other swaps. Plus, it'd be fun to screw with those owners: 'I couldn't think of a better group of people to not want one of their cars to be taken and turned into an EV,' he said.
