The Fisker was designed to take an ICE aboard. The Tesla is a purposely designed full EV.
If you'd put a V8 in that it can only be used as a range extender, to power a generator to rechagre the batteries.
Thinking of it, I don't think it would deliver that much extra range

Saw my first Tesla model S in the wild a few weeks ago (seen at least ten Fiskers over time, dunno why the Teslas kept hiding). Then yesterday I saw two model S 85s parked close to one another in some eco hideout. Feasting my eyes for sure

For education go to people unlike yourself.
