If your Tesla car runs out of electricity on the road miles away from the nearest charging station, what do you do? This video shows what actually happened in this situation.
If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid.
Tesla probably wouldn’t do it because it hurts their efforts to build more charging stations, but someone could make a purpose built Tesla/electric car range extender that would fit into half the space as that generator.
Solar powered Tesla range extender?
Will the Jackrabbits bring you gasoline then when you run out? Because you dont drive an EV?
I'll stick with my diesel...800 mile range (Interstate miles) on a tankful...and it can be refilled in about 4 minutes at about 40,000 stations nationwide.
“Solar powered Tesla range extender?”
See #25
“.It took about 12 hours on a household plug for me to get it back to the dealer.”
That is for occasional use.
Owners will most likely have the Wallbox. Five hour charging.
Makes sense. It’s like carrying a water filter in your backpack for when you aren’t around potable water faucets.
Five hours charging versus 4 minutes filling up the tank? Hmmm....
“Its like carrying a water filter in your backpack for when you arent around potable water faucets.”
Doesn’t make sense!
I doubt many people would be able to lift that battery to put it in the car..
“Five hours charging versus 4 minutes filling up the tank? Hmmm....”
While you sleep.
“I doubt many people would be able to lift that battery to put it in the car..”
You miss the point.
Duh, All this guy needed to do was keep a horse in the trunk. When his Tesla ran out of juice just break out the horse, harness it to the front of the car and have it pull you to the nearest charging station. Or plan B just break out the horse, hop on and ride away, leaving the Tesla to fend for itself.

LOL! You must be from NJ!
Somebody in our area has a lime green Tesla. Other than that, I see mostly red and blue
Wait.. I thought there was an endless supply of electricity that magically comes from the wall.

That. powers your AC, computer, TV, ...
Yes I do. What is it?
“Yes I do. What is it?”
Do you carry a five-gallon can of gas in your trunk?
