You can't buy cool new off a parking lot, but marketing has convinced masses as such. I'd rather have an EV conversion vintage VW Westy, Defender 110, Citroën

I'd rather have an EV conversion vintage VW Westy, Defender 110, Citroën DS, or Ferrari 250 GT California, or a fuggly Thing, Edsel, or Lada.
- platevoltage 1y agoI want to do an EV conversion to my 86 Mercedes once that becomes something affordable to pull off.
- burnt-resistor 1y agoIt's affordable now using reclaimed Tesla parts. Here's one vendor: https://www.evwest.com/ https://www.evwest.com/ I really want to ditch the 1.9L H4 Digijet in my '85 Westfalia. It's a total PITA (direct fuel injection and a distributor) but I'm not keen on dropping in a GoWesty or "Subagon" ICE motor when EV is the way to go.
- BizarroLand 1y agoI have considered doing a swap on my Jeep CJ7, but the costs are just a touch out of reach still. I have a friend who does the copart thing, maybe I'll have him keep an eye out for a cheap wrecked Tesla
- platevoltage 1y agooh god is that one of those "wasserboxers". I hear those are troublesome to say the least which is why they often get replaced with Subaru Engines. I'd trust my weak ass diesel engine to drive me to hell and back, but I know that won't last.
- jedberg 1y ago> Ferrari 250 GT California doing an EV conversion on a body kit is my dream car. Although I like your style of doing a Thing or an Edsel! You'd miss out on the unique gear pattern on the Thing haha.
