I saw a funny picture of a guy that was driving with a gas power generator strapped to his Tesla (On Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier). Just curious how much he could extend his range. And if this would be a practical alternative.

It’s a mistake to believe every picture you see on the internet is real.

Every hybrid and EV I've ever been in refused to move if they detect a cable is inserted.

That’s called a hybrid with range extender.
