Interesting, I've seen people using tesla drive motors in electric conversions, so maybe that's easier if they're controlled by some 3rd party hardware, because you're just fighting the motor not the whole car as a system.

Definitely, and even with some legitimate reasons. The inverter and the motor are linked by a calibration.
