Bet that Chevy Volt sounded like a good idea at first…

If i had the money i would take something like a old tesla with dodgy batteries and strap on to the roof a "wood gas generator" which is a device that turns burning wood and uses the gases produced to run an internal combustion engine, they used them during war time for tractors and such when fuel was in short supply.
so you would have a gasoline generator that runs of the fumes of burning wood that way you could wood fire your tesla and use the generator to power/charge the tesla you would need a pretty big generator for ludicrous mode though haha But imagine how funny it would be plus you could charge your tesla when out in the countryside by chopping down trees :) the leftys would hate it so much but you can tell them it uses renewable energy cause trees grow kek

Due to gasoline shortages late in the war, a few "Holzbrenner" Beetles were built, which were fueled with logs of wood. The logs were converted into combustible gases using pyrolysis gas producers located under the front hood, so the car could retain its carbureted Otto engine.
Still, I would love to drive a Tesla in the carpool lane towing a diesel generator rolling coal🤣😂
