Specifically ev, and specifically aftermarket modifications. Whether it's a custom shop offering a package that you could have installed, or a backyard tinkerer coming up with a new trick to make their EV ratrod faster, what do you think will be done in the future that hasn't been done yet?

I think full dashboard replacement to have physical buttons and switches instead of the giant control screens will be a thing for customers with deep pockets.

You mean like hotrodders and tuners have been doing since prohibition?

Hotrodders and tuners have been modifying ICEs for decades. It shouldn't be controversial at all to say that EV motors are less serviceable or moddable than conventional ICE drivetrains. Even something as simple as a manual transmission swap is literally impossible with an electric motor.

EVs are a great solution to a lot of problems, but let's not make them out to be something they're not.

Hot rodders can deck heads, build a new exhaust manifold, slap 4 carbs on one engine, put a turbo or a supercharger on there, put a cam in, pretty much anything and everything. (If you ever get a chance to see the Museum of American Speed in Lincoln Nebraska, you should go.)

Just typing away, hacking it, is boring. And swapping the motor might not get you much with evs, no one is doing it yet for a reason. Its not like putting an LS where an old small block used to go.

I just dont see much hot rodding potential in EVs, and you just dont many people doing much with them. Weve had a decade or more, its just not happening yet and it might not ever.
