I own both AP2 and Tesla model 3. Both fun in their own respect.

Kind of a stupid idea in my opinion. Why ruin one of the most iconic roadsters with one of the best motors ever produced with electric? Enjoy what you have!

You can drive an electric powered S2000, but that ain't driving

These discussions are always highly dependent on personal opinions, you either like the idea or you don't , at the end of the day it is the vehicle owner's money, time, and preference, everyone can do what they want. I don't think it is anywhere near being an easy or inexpensive conversion, but again if someone has the time and money that is their choice.

Can you elaborate on the Fun Aspect of the T3. Not hatin, just curious. Always thought electric was like watching someone else play a video game OR I just don't get it. I do know about the neck snapping acceleration, and bush wackin guys in so called muscle cars thing.

its my daily driver. Speed and acceleration. NOT having to deal with California emission laws. Being able to use the HOV lanes in the Bay Area prior to Covid. No maintenance. I have reduce cost of charge.

I personally don't use the gimmick stuff. As I drive the car how it is intended to be used as a car.

Unfortunately the only feedback I have about Tesla are their owners, it seems they had never own a vehicle prior to their EV. At the end of the day its still just a car.

Ah yes, but the question is would you ever combine the two ?

if possible then yes, but unfortunately manual transmission is fading away, so the likelihood of a "sport shifting" and EV will not be plausible =(
