"The firm has previously hinted that a future WRX STi could use a plug-in hybrid powertrain, because increasingly strict emissions regulations would rule out the use of the 2.5-litre turbocharged boxer engine in the most recent model."
Buy your STi now before this disaster!!^^^ |

If you think a Hybrid sports car is a disaster, obviously you haven't heard of the NSX, porsche 918, or LaFerrari.
I've heard that there is so much interest in the Crosstrek Plug-in that dealers have rather long waiting lists. Hopefully this e-boxer thing has plenty of range though. |

Or you can wonder how to upgrade the capacitors or re-wind the motor or swap batteries.... It's just different tech. Or I can bitch about those new fangled computers and sensors on your car. A carb'd small block can easily make more power than your fancy computerized iCar. |

Because it's fun?
As for the tuners, they'll adapt or die. Plenty of engineers out there with knowledge, or the abilities to do this today. Just wait until more Teslas come down in price and are out of warranty.... That's the hold back right now, is price of entry to start playing. |

IMO Hybrid is dumb.. just put out a full electric Hatch WRX trim with 220 mile range and see how it sells.. if it sells good make a STI full electric trim and make a cheaper XV/Impreza trims. Starting with the WRX is perfect because it is in the neighborhood of other full electrics price wise (assuming the tax break). If it offers a faster 0-60 and 0-80 than current WRX with similar handling people will buy it... at least I would.
Hybrids just waste too much space and weight. Take out the engine, transmission, gas tank, exhaust and you get a lot of battery room. Hopefully the hood scoop could stay with a radiator for battery cooling or something. |

I don't see the point of hybrids unless it's the trick hybrids in cars like the NSX where it's focused on performance. Most hybrid buyers never make the money back on fuel savings to cover the premium they spent over a standard gasoline engine model which is why a lot of them don't sell. Seems like R&D money would be better spent on full electric models.

nope, in 2033 barely any teslas on the road today will still be running if any... When tech goes obsolete you throw it away. How many Iphone4's are their still in use. Every electrical car today is disposable. What will happen is people will start to put small blocks in Teslas. Mark my words on that.
