Teslonda: This proves electric cars aren’t boring

AutoExec Summary
American enthusiast publication Road and Track featured a modified 1981 Honda Accord with Tesla components, called the “Teslonda”. The car uses a Tesla electric motor and a Chevrolet Volt battery pack, turning the old sedan into a dragstrip weapon. The Teslonda accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Huracan and Porsche 911 GT3, reaching 60mph in 2.43 seconds. The experiment proves that enthusiasts should embrace the electrified future, as electric motors are simpler and cheaper than petrol engines. Customization and tuning workshops in Australia are starting to cater for electric car modifications, such as suspension tweaks or electric motor and battery upgrades. YouTuber Simone Giertz even made a Tesla ute out of a Model 3 sedan.
