Yes, but he'd cut it in half.

Ha, IΓÇÖd love one, 2 door of course and IΓÇÖm not sure what engine IΓÇÖd put in it. On one of those made for TV auto shows they put a modified Tesla engine in at the transfer case position of a Land Rover. It retained the rest of the drive line and was limited slip 4x4 all the way around. The batteries were split b/t the engine compartment & fuel tank area, pretty slick.

I spent a little time talking to them. All the batteries are out of a wrecked Tesla. It's a super cool looking platform with really clean execution.

These are so cool, but so damn pricey. I'm excited to see more aftermarket companies entering the space, hopefully there will be more advances in the battery tech and availability to bring the costs down in the future.
