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.

Will the Jackrabbits bring you gasoline then when you run out? Because you don’t drive an EV?

I took a BMW I3 for an overnight test drive a couple of years ago.I was *very* unimpressed...particularly given that it was BMW.It took about 12 hours on a household plug for me to get it back to the dealer.

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.

“.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 hour charging.

Five hours charging versus 4 minutes filling up the tank? Hmmm....

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.

Do you carry a five-gallon can of gas in your trunk?
