3-Day Tesla Swap Class

San Marcos, California · EV West × EV Learning Center

MASTER THE VOLTAGE

Hands-on assembly, wiring, and programming of Tesla drive units—in the same lab workflow used in active EV West builds. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit intensive for builders who want real high-voltage skills, not slide decks.

Built around the Tesla Swap

This microsite highlights the three-day intensive where teams work through full Tesla drivetrain integration—not generic EV theory.

The Electric Vehicle Learning Center runs nonprofit STEM and sustainability programs statewide; the Technical Training Division hosts deep-dive workshops like the Tesla Swap so adult learners and career switchers can execute real conversions with mentor oversight.

Electric Vehicle Learning Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing hands-on STEM and sustainability programs for all ages.

What you’ll run in lab

Mapped to the 3-Day Tesla Swap stack—open the full technical syllabus for module detail.

Drive-unit assembly

Mechanical marriage of Tesla drive units, mounts, and cooling loops with production-style torque sequences.

HV harness & distribution

Routing, crimping, and energizing high-voltage harnesses with lockout, logging, and verification at each stage.

Programming & validation

Flash, calibrate, and prove inverter logic so the stack responds correctly before road testing.

Systems commissioning

End-to-end bring-up from first contactor closure to monitored drivetrain spin under controlled load.
