Power is out here all around southeast Michigan. My parents have 2 backup generators plus run off solar but their neighbor doesnt have power so they asked my dad if they could borrow his job site generator, which they are using to charge their Tesla. Its a gas generator and this is very funny to me.

edit: meant to put gas in the topic title

How many gallons does the generator hold? I'm curious how much X gallons of gas gets on a Tesla battery since energy laws and what not

I don't think that'll give it any sort of meaningful charge honestly.

I mean I guess breaking down and having yo use gas in a rare occurrence beats everyday.

Not that I care much I'm the dick who told a date when he showed up in a prius that my truck negated any goof his prius did.

The goal is for them to get enough charge to get to the closest charging center, which is a few miles away shockingly since my parents live in Grosse Pointe Shores
