Can't afford a Tesla at $50-60K, but can afford a conversion at $100K?  He
did say that he is hoping to get to a scale where he can get the price down
to around $30K.  But then we're dealing with a car with an old
chassis/body, too.  Maybe he'll get there.  Meanwhile, new EVs (they're not
all Teslas) can be a lot cheaper than what he is selling, if we can just
get enough of them on the market.  For now, I am still driving my 16 yo
Prius.  Building new vehicles has environmental costs, too, so he is right
about that.

I wonder, would converting an old hybrid be cheaper than converting an old
pure IC vehicle?

At any rate, I am all for getting into the EV future for the sake of us all.
