I have made a first pass at a frame design to accommodate the Tesla subframe. Suggestions and feedback are welcome.

I redesigned the frame. I received my batteries. Now I need to figure out where to put them.

Some great progress being made on your project.
Quick question on batteries, most if not all the modern electric cars out there use lithium ion cells. Is there any reason why you couldn't use lithium polymer cells that are readily available in all shapes and sizes and build your own pack ?

Nope. You could easily use the polymer pouches. It does seem like when it comes to powering a whole car, most people opt for the more rigid modules. Not sure why.

Only a thought as they are available with very high discharge values. I've seen 100c packs out there , that would offer performance gains over Lithium Ion.
