LS Tesla swap

[08Malibu]

I wouldn't say uninspiring is accurate, it may not be a spirited drive. But Tesla is the reason that we now have bigger screens in vehicles which probably isn't a big deal to most, but is something I appreciate since I have always hate factory equipment and felt that for the price you should get a lot more in them. There are many more reason I could go on about why I think Tesla's overall benefit the market for everyone but don't want to sound like too much of a fan boy

I appreciate the technical aspects of Tesla’s, I just can’t get over how quiet they are. The model X’s rear doors are crazy. To me the cars are just an overgrown iPhone on a power wheels chassis.

Guess I got to be the minority, if I had the proper setup to get a Tesla and charge it easily I would definitely rock one. I personally like the innovation in a lot of them, early in the Monte build I was going to try to source a Tesla screen to put in it. Have any of you actually driven one of the ludicrous mode setups? You launch it once and I think a lot would see a different light, as a car guy fast is fast and what that all electric launch can do is very impressive to me. Let alone what they are claiming that the roadster is gonna be able to do

I am more excited about the hate he gets from Tesla fanatics.

Tesla owners are like a cult.

And LS fanboys aren't?

Eh.... more like a drunken frat sitting on an old couch on the lawn than the tesla cult.

Oh, the average ls fanboy might have a general idea of here's an engine. Here's a transmission. Then he turns and and says, "Now, tell me how much you charge to do the work for me."

Generally, many/most skip their classes and don't learn how to do the work for themselves.

Just like any frat, there's a handful that have done their work, get good grades, and hold the group out of probation - but those are the exception rather than the rule.

escalating costs on electric usage and poor availability in power grids

These will remain big problems, even if they somehow get better batteries. The more power the car has, the more power it eats.

That looks to be some of that Gucci off the garage shelf motorheadmike said he had right there.

Even then, they can keep their evs.... I'll take one of these for less money:

Whipple-Blown 7.3L Ford V8 Roars Past 1,650 HP

Even at the wheels, this Godzilla-swapped Fox Body Mustang makes 1,485 hp.
