		dmode on April 10, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Tesla Model 3 becomes best-selling car in Switzerl... There are a lot of conversations about road trips in a Tesla. I have a Model S and have done a few. I honestly believe that is indeed an increased hassle to stop for Supercharging every few hours. I have done it a few times, and these days mostly take my ICE vehicle for long road trips. But, having said, my long road trips (> 250miles) are once in every 3-4 months. And my daily driving is, well, daily. And this where Tesla blows everything else out of the water. Convenience of Autopilot, Home charging, carpool access, a 21st century UI, constantly improving features. 100x better than my ICE vehicle, and I will choose Tesla every time, even with the drawbacks of long road trips.

Would it be possible to put a gasoline generator in the trunk (vented of course) and wire it into the charging system to increase the range?

As long as it emits pure sine wave. There’s forum posts everywhere talking about this.
