Two days later, Hughes was still playing with the motor, making sure it has enough cooling while being pushed to its limits. He managed to get it rolling up to 13,000 RPMs or equivalent to 117 MPH (188 km/h) without any issues so far and could even control regenerative breaking. Now he is working on getting it hooked up to the instrument cluster he had to replace from his wife's hacked Model S P85 with Autopilot. More updates on this project will surely show up in the next few weeks if not days.Worth noting a Tesla drive train extracted from a Mercedes B class EV was hacked last year by Michal Elias by replacing the original controller, outputting over 300kW at almost 600Nm.
