All EVs should have such an emergency/range extender generator.

Musk must be kicking himself in the face and Honda I'm sure is having a hearty laugh!

I read through the Twitter replies to make some sense out of it. It felt like a staged joke, could have been a innocent attempt to relieve ones anxiety of running out of charge, or pure ingenuity !

So I looked up on net on some of the specs.

A portable generator with weight of about 45 kg will provide ~ 3kva of power.
A Tesla level 2 charger at minimum power delivers 3kwh and charges about 10miles range in an hour.

So while in video that guy said 5 mins, but in reality he is going to sit there for 1 hr if nearest charging station is about 10 miles away....

I think this was just staged to have some fun.

Looks like the video is posted by Justin Flom. He is famous for posting such videos. Usually shows up in my facebook feed.

He comes up with some wierd ideas and pranks his wife. This time it appears that he has got a new character!

Why does a chicken coop have only two doors?

Because if it had four, it would be a chicken sedan!

When cars are self-driven and have a mind of their own, why can't they have infections of their own?
