A young man has gone viral after he shared a video of him installing a generator set into his Tesla Model S before he embarked on a road trip.
The man is a YouTuber known as Matt Mikka, who installed the generator to avoid running out of charge in the middle of the road, and it was very successful.
It’s this same anxiety that prevents owners of electric vehicles from travelling long distances with their vehicles, and it’s also the reason why a huge number of car enthusiasts are still afraid to purchase an electric vehicle.

However, it looks like the YouTuber has come up with the perfect solution—installing a generator in your electric vehicle. With his generator in his Tesla, the man was able to cover a 1,800-mile journey. The Tesla can travel 405 miles on a single charge, which means the man must have recharged his Tesla plenty of times while driving.
Speaking about constantly recharging his car he said:
“I really like my Tesla, but what I don’t like is stopping to charge, especially on a road trip. I don’t even like stopping to fill up my gas-powered car and that’s way faster than charging.”
He also noted that the Tesla Model S consumed more engine than the generator could produce while driving, making him stop 5-6 hours per day to recharge.
