Tesla removes parking sensors, the results are predictably terrible

Oh, but you do, even if you drive a traditional car!

Most gas stations - for both diesel and gasoline - rely on electricity to pump the gas. No electic = no gas. The stations that run during outages generally have generators to do so. You might have some luck for a short time.

After that, no power, no generator, no gas. The trucks won't even be able to get diesel to deliver it to you.

..... ? A small backup generator is all that's required for the gas pumps to work. The state of Florida now mandates gas stations have back up power on evacuation routes, a law enacted from lessons learned from all of the problems caused by Hurricanes Wilma and Katrina. The state of Louisiana I believe also has a similar requirement but I haven't checked.

I mentioned in another comment, this is true, but all you really need to get gas if the gloves are off is a short tube or hose.
