Speaking of "Tesla-fying", how about this?
Today,
ICON a "restomod" company based in Los Angeles, and
Stealth EV, a company specializing in electric car conversions, unveiled the "1949 Mercury EV Derelict" a 1949 Mercury coupe with a Tesla battery pack.
ICON said that it “forensically disassembled the body, replaced all rubber, added insulation and sound-deadening products everywhere. It then reassembled the vehicle in a manner that tried to make it look like nothing had been touched."
“The dual electric motor, transmission-less design provides 470 lb-ft of freight-train torque and the equivalent of 400 horsepower, with no shifts all the way up to the Merc’s 120 MPH top speed. A full Tesla Performance 85kWh battery array is strategically fit throughout the vehicle for exceptional weight balance. It is capable of an estimated 150- to 200-mile range and has 1.5-hour full recharge capability."
