If you have talented friends I can't see a conversion costing over $30,000.00 and that may be high.
I was interested in a Tesla drive unit bolted to an older pickup ... and was told that changing the truck to accept independent rear suspension (like what Tesla has) is expensive and very custom.

But I didn't check out anyone local to do the work ...
