Yep, I'm amused by their definition of "Proper Off Road"

I didn't look at the video as i have read about it in LRO, if it is the one that uses old Tesla batteries.
Did they mention that the cost was GBP 35000.

Price not mentioned. Tesla batteries, but not sure if they're old ones. No mention of heating ( winter in Wales ). In it's current ( sorry ) form it's a wealthy man's novelty. The vid is worth a look for the Porsche it shows briefly.

Yep. Love to see how it would go when up to it's eyeballs at Wombat. Interesting though.

By Coincidence I have just been reading the article in LRO , I think Feb 2018.

The batteries are old Tesla batteries out of cars in accidents I presume.

In the USA now Rich rebuilds has found that some damaged Teslas that are up for auction have had the batteries removed. a big trap for young players as the battery is the most valuable bit . He paid 20K for a total wreck to get the battery.

Definitely GBP 35K for the conversion.
