The Sickness
When I look at Tesla Motors‘ electric sports car, I can’t help but think: How do I transplant the engine into a Vanagon?
The Tesla’s watermelon-sized engine is a 70-pound job that can outperform a Ferrari. It’s got two gears. It’s a rear-drive, rear-engine setup. For four-wheel drive, perhaps just add another engine, right? It’s all computer controlled anyway.
If there were a reliable retrofit kit, I’d drop my savings and drive a plug-in Vanagon.

That’s completely awesome
I like the map that shows how far the Tesla can go on a charge… You can *almost*, but not quite, make it from LA to Las Vegas.. which is good, because after dropping your nest egg for a shiny new Tesla, you shoudln’t be gambling anyway.
