This will only work if the DeLorean is redesigned from the ground up in order to be as strong and light as the Tesla is. The only reason the Tesla has the performance it does is because the car is overall much lighter than a typical car, to make up for its very heavy battery.<p>A car meant for a different era can only succeed as an electric car if it's redesigned to accommodate the realities of battery operation.
