A YouTube blogger from the Warped Perception channel posted a video showing the world’s first gasoline-powered Tesla Model S from its own assembly.
The goal of the project is to refuel as little as possible and not load at all. He drove the car for 1,800 miles or about 2,850 km.
I really like my Tesla, but what I don’t like is that it stops charging, especially on the road. I also don’t like stopping to fill up, but it’s much faster than charging.
– blogger Matt Mikka
A typical Tesla Model S can travel up to 405 miles or 651 km on a single charge. It took more than 1.5 years to create the car.
The project did not go without problems. Because the car used more energy than the generator could produce while driving, Mikka had to stop for 5-6 hours a day while the Tesla stopped and charged. And during one of his trips on the freeway, he was stopped for driving too slowly while trying to reduce his energy consumption. [BI]
