It doesn't ad up to do a conversion, financially or environmentally. There might be performance gains but like you say it isn't always needed. Your conversion might have 150 mile range but that isn't much if you want to go outside your area, to a show for example. I suppose you could trailer it !
Maybe in the future there will be plenty of used Tesla motors in the scrap yards for a few hundred quid and batteries will be cheap and readily available. That might come in 25 years time at which point I'll be in the local nursing home !
