The $150k budget included the price of 2 cars. They probably didn't get base models. $35k was for modifying both. They have to bootstrap the r&d for armoring Teslas. They could only find a performance shop that mostly does fiber aero kits. That's the actual issue - no existing armorers. For the "engine block hide", though, would keeping some extra vests in the frunk do the job? Perhaps they're better off with an EV Blazer?
