Why not just get a second car for how much that is going to cost? Can grab a used Prius and replace the cells in the battery pack if it's gone bad. Even regular ICE cars like the Corolla are getting like 40mpg highway now. There's some evidence the used car market will crash soon too.

Damn guys, just wave your middle fingers at DIY and innovation, somebody was on here a short while back and wanted to take a Sawzall to his bedside for better tire clearance and better angles , you all talked him right out of it...

I’m not brave enough, but if you do it first then maybe Ford will next!

i wouldnt try it. i dont have the money or skills. however, someone has to be capable and have the chops. if that is you i say go for it give it hell. might be a life changing moment. maybe you can invent something to make millions and shake up the industry. i bet folks told George and Orville to not bother or not waste the money or effort. but when it started working tunes changed quickly.

He's asking us if he should. Anybody with the skills time and money to make this happen wouldn't need to ask.
