LUXI, The 1972 Tesla powered Toyota Hilux shop truck

This is the well known and loved 1972 Tesla powered Toyota Hilux, Luxi. Luxi has been the daily driven shop truck for J5 for 4 years now. This truck was bought at auction in 2007 and had been sitting a while. It has had many engines in it, from an SBC, to 2UZ, to several turbo charged 22re builds. Now in its final form it is running with a Tesla SDU motor driving a custom made De-Dion axle. Power is stored in a 33kwh BMW i3 pack tucked under the bed, retaining the full storage space a shop truck needs. It is a unique and easy solution to utilize a motor intended for IRS in a leaf sprung vehicle. It runs a Tesla model S Gen 2 charger, as well as Tesla model S Gen 2 DCDC.
