the ones ive seen are either hobbyist janky or crazy expensive. im surprised this isnt a bigger thing already, but i dont want to pay > $30K to end up with 100 mile range and zero reliability assurance.

I've been following Edison Motors and they look the most promising for pickup trucks. You can get the electric Mustang motor as a new crate engine if you don't want to pull a Tesla rear end from a totaled car.
