Instructions for Custom LEGO Tesla Model S and Supercharger

Description

To see original feature page for design (rather than instructions), click here.

Designed using advanced building techniques, this custom LEGO Tesla Model S car and supercharger are designed at 1:40 scale, which makes them perfectly realistic for posing next to minifigures. The car is also a neat display piece and conversation-starter for you and your friends! If you like my replica LEGO car, please support my work and purchase a set of instructions. Thank you so much!

The model requires 198 LEGO pieces, not included, and it’s super easy to buy all the parts you need (if you don’t have them already); click here to download the parts lists if you’d like to shop the required pieces ahead of time. When you buy these instructions, you’ll receive my easy-to-follow guide on how to automatically create a shopping list for everything you need with the provided XML code. You can also watch a 10min tutorial here where I explain the process step-by-step: it’s quite simple and less expensive to do yourself than buying a kit.

* The cost of LEGO parts for this car model + supercharger, when you order directly from BrickLink, is approximately $31 USD plus shipping. This is significantly cheaper than buying a similarly sized and prepackaged kit with all the pieces included: such a custom kit would likely be in the $70–95 range with the added labor, inventory, and other markups.

Please note that while the car model is “minifigure scale,” the replica is designed “for looks” and does not actually hold a minifigure driver; the highly-detailed LEGO model uses some advanced shaping techniques that makes it fragile and best for display purposes only. “LEGO” is a trademark of The LEGO Group, which the seller is not affiliated with or endorsed by; the same goes for Tesla Motors, the Model S, and other associated trademarks.
