If I get a Taycan some day, I guess I will live with it.

Some people can’t take a little fun being poked their way

I'm afraid I would probably do this on purpose, many times, if given that opportunity.

"Mr. Musk, interesting use of gull wing doors on this car. Do the gull wings serve a particular purpose, as while their gull wing shape does provide easier access it seems seems like the same purpose good have been handled by non-gull wing doors, maybe sliders instead of the gull-wings. At least the gull-wings aren't lambo doors, am I right? Oh, and why call gull-wing doors falcon doors, is it just because?"

lol it's okay, I am sure there will be a day I miss the out of balance washing machine sound of the FA20 too.

Electric motors are actually fairly noisy. Sounds kinda like a big PD supercharger whine.

This is the only Tesla powered setup I have been impressed with:



Someone needs to make a Tesla swap kit for the FR-S.

Yes, the company is EV West. They makes conversion kits for that 818c and other older cars including the 1991 - 1999 MR2.
