Reminded me of this very interesting retrofit; Tesla motor and batteries in an S5.

Electric Audi

This is the (now) quite famous Rich rebuilds. he started re-building teslas in the cold on his own and started putting them up of Youtube. He has gained a load of traction now and has a lot of EV people around him. One guy he met has powered his A5 with a tesla set-up. I've always wanted to do it to an A8. I know a couple have been done. I cannot think of a better vehicle than a D2. Problem comes with all the ancillaries, huge amount of work.
