    Model LS V8

    Thanx for the laugh. I've owned a 60, 85, P85, P85d, P90DL, 85D. Do I really need to go on? Bottom line is road trips suck in a Tesla. You can argue it all you want, but getting to a supercharger and charging takes at least 10 times as long as gassing up.

    Trolls are negative and adversarial. That would be you my friend. I'm just having a discussion. And I agree, let your contributions to this discussion die.

    Agreed on the FWD V8. It's weird. It would be better with electric on front and gas on rear like the hybrid Corvette will be. That's just too big of a project with a Tesla. Why a V8? Why not? If I'm going to put anything in there, it may as well be fun. Thought about a generator, but this...

    Yep, there are trolls everywhere. I am discussing this to see if any of you geniuses can think of anything I haven't.

    Ye of little faith or vision. Your just trolling, but interestingly I have literally towed an Tesla with an F150 to charge it. It worked fine. Keep in mind I can always just cruise in neutral if I think it's taking too much of a toll on the system. I've thought this through pretty well.

    For anyone interested in the technical side of this project, and don't mind listening to to guys who like gas, heres a link to the discussion on the LS forum. https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/1948020-tesla-model-ls4-6.html

    You are so wrong. I've done it many times. Though you do have to be careful as you could pay $15k for a stripped car. My latest is a S60 with a new battery. It's ready for the road. $8k for car, $4k for parts.

    Yea, polestar is Almost the perfect performance car. I think the Corvette hybrid will get it right. That being said at the least I will have a range extender and extra power when I want it for straight line acceleration. Getting it to handle well on hybrid mode will just be a would be nice as...

    I hope to start it in the fall. Looking for donor cars now. I'm here to see if anyone sees something I don't.

    It can be done, and I will do it. It's just a matter of time. RWD is on the table, and you might be right. It might be easier to just add FWD structure. But I'm betting this will just be a matter of wiring and changing the cars config. Since they have made both FWD and RWD cars at the same...

    I have done the same. The kids love it and I'm less tired at the end of the day. EV's are great for day to day driving, I won't argue that either. But... In the end you can't deny that charging, and getting to a charger is more time consuming than getting to a gas station and filling up with gas.

    Not emotion. Fact for me and my driving habits. Too much time wasted on road trips when I really want the time. I do not intend to marry the systems together. They will act independently. The road will marry them if you will. I'm not concerned about safety here. This will put more control of...

    Oops. Got caught up in the good part. Though I can see why Tesla lovers woyld get upset. That said,.... Why is it bonkers if being tethered to a charging station is a major inconvenience?

    You said it much better than I could have. Except the bonkers part. Why is it bonkers if charging is a major inconvenience?
