An all new metal VW 23-window bus body is 17.5K. One could use it for a tiny house to save rent and pay off a Tesla drivetrain conversion.
I have alreasy considered a similar approach, but with some more modern (and bigger) van in order to retain more space for amenities. And most likely would not convert to EV.
