This is the team’s third attempt to convert an electric car into a hybrid, but previously the drawback was the strong fuel smell in the cabin. In the latest experiment, the smell was eliminated by installing a homemade three-chamber exhaust system. By installing the engine in the trunk and a cooling radiator instead of the standard Tesla radiator, airflow in the car increased while driving, and as a result, performance increased.
Bloggers traveled approximately 5,630 km with this diesel-electric hybrid using 288 liters of diesel fuel. Fuel consumption was 5.1 liters per 100 km.
The journey was not without its problems, as enthusiasts say. These included clogged fuel filters, oil leaks, and damaged cooling system hoses.
