It’s been done, but it was massively expensive and impractical. I wouldn’t try if I got the car AND an LS engine/transmission for free.

Also Tesla's have a reputation for shoddy workmanship -- or at least they used to. There are busy bulletin boards where Tesla owners complain about body panels that don't meet properly, doors and glove boxes that won't latch, unidentifiable rattles and clunks, etc. And getting them fixed took many months, and even then the fix was often fuxxed.

I can imagine. The unibody is all wrong. It’s be cheaper to build a car from scratch.

‘wonder if a person could buy the 5,000 to 10,000 little 4 volt batteries that make up the Tesla’s battery pack and rebuild it by hand. Could be a zen like endeavor (or just monotonous).
