tl;dw: It's much more involved than simply swapping the motor. You need to create a custom mounting bracket for the electric motor, you need batteries (used long-range 75 KwH Tesla batteries go for about $10k), you need a charging system, an electronic management system, and you need to find a way to power peripherals like A/C which are typically powered via a serpentine belt from an ICE.
