I've posted before about the electric DeLorean, which to me makes more sense than the original ICE version :D

I don't agree with the notion that the ICE engine is the soul of a car anyway. Not every car, at least. Some more than others certainly. If the best thing you can say about a car is that it vibrates a lot and is noisy....well......
A converted mini is one thing, but abTeslarossa! :wtf:

It was probably cheaper to get it converted than have it serviced. :lol:

V8 Tesla instead?

Presumably the only ever V8 swap slower than the original car :D
