… I think there’s room with these platforms for a return to coach-building where you start with the Model-S battery & motor and build out your own car from there.

Who’s interested? Maybe I’ll convert my Z… :eek:
It works like this: Tesla will produce and sell the skateboard, which comprises the batteries, motors, suspension and wiring, and sell it as-is to customers.
From there, owners are able to do with it as they wish, by installing any car body type onto the platform. To speed up the process, Tesla will expand its service centres, giving them the tools necessary to perform these conversions in-house.
I’d convert an F350 Diesel, then modify it in some way that I could fill a small fuel tank, install stacks and roll-coal on demand with a flick of a switch. Best of both worlds.
