Wouldn’t the better question be “so you burn a gallon of gas in the generator, how many miles will the Tesla travel on that charge?” If the portable generator burns 1 gallon of gas, but I get 100+ miles range off that charge; that seems like a good deal to me. My Tacoma does 18-20 miles under perfect conditions

I think recognise that generator. A Honda EB5000(watt). Will run for 10 hours at 75% load and I think thats 5 gallons of fuel.

And I think a Tesla requires LOTS of watts! I just noticed that it is an open frame generator. Neighbors must be real happy listening to that.

So using the “back up” method of charging, which we all know is not efficient- makes a conversion rate if about 20-25 miles range to the Tesla for each gallon of gas burned in the generator

How many ways can you create electricity? How many ways can you make gasoline?

Are EVs the ideal solution as they are now? Nope. We have made more improvements on battery tech in the last 20 years, than we have seen in the last hundred years. It’s not slowing down
