I’ve seen a couple of these on the road and thought it would be a neat trick to get one and swap out the electric for a ‘real’ engine. Maybe one of those weird cable or internet car shows would do it.

I'd still kill for a Tesla S.

Really? In gods name why? You must have a desperate need for some kind of ego support.

At 73, I’m not trying to impress anybody.
I’d love to have such a beautiful car.

If you say so. Looks ugly to me.

If you say so.

“Very foolish to buy a car that can only drive 285 miles before an 8 hour charge.”

That's the deal-killer for me with any current all-electric car, Tesla included. I can believe that it might have appeal as an urban commuter car but not for us as an every-day, all-purpose ride.
