Funnily enough, both the Model 3 and the Tacoma were built at the same factory in Fremont, California.

Meet Tescoma. At first glance, it’s just a first-generation Toyota Tacoma pickup. Simple, American-built, dependable. But take a peek under the hood and you’ll be surprised to find that the gasoline engine that used to hum when the truck was new is nowhere to be found. In its place, there’s some orange wiring and a big, shiny piece of metal that says “Tesla” on it. But it’s all silent. Walk a few feet toward the bed and you’ll also see that the thing isn’t exactly stock.

The high-voltage battery that came out of another Tesla Model 3 was disassembled and the four modules were split: two between the chassis rails and two in the truck bed, under a custom-made enclosure. The builder said in his posts that he decided to go with a Model 3 battery instead of anything else because he wanted to have around 200 miles of range when fully charged.
