dClbydalpha -
The MGB already drives the TRDS and so no real added complexity.
that is my point, you have replaced a well functioning mechanical system (TR drive failures are rare) with an electric one which is just as likely to fail, so what is the advantage?

Petit plateau - but how much do the TESLA batteries weigh?
