Don't skimp out on the EV conversion.

"Just, uh, don't get anything called 'Tesla.' Trust me."

Get the other vehicle with the brushed metal exterior.

If I had a Delorean with a blown drivetrain, I'd absolutely do an EV conversion. You don't even need junkyard Tesla at this point. You can get the EV mustang motor as a crate engine with warranty.

Honestly from what I hear, schnazzy looks and pop-culture significance are all Deloreans really had going for them any way. I'm too lazy to search but I'd be surprised if an EV swap hasn't been done already.
