Savvy in action or how to charge the Tesla car in an open field

What if on a country road at your wonderful Tesla S got the battery? Call the tow truck? Yes, it would have done the usual German or French. Agree with someone to push you on a rope? And if to the city hundreds of miles away, or a rare truck that you are caught, do you out of the way?

By applying ingenuity to high technology, Constantine, resident and owner of Barnaul Tesla S, remembered the regenerative capabilities of the car. If you press on the brake and release the gas, or a fun roll down the hills, the engine Tesla began working as a generator, filling the battery life-giving energy.


Constantine in the video (unfortunately taken vertically, for which he was minus) tells that he asked a truck to drag it to the rope 20 km. The truck driver was not mind spending a little more diesel fuel, and, as shown by experiment, for every 2 kilometers traveled on a cable engine pumped into the energy accumulator, which will last for 5 kilometers of autonomous driving. On the dashboard Tesla S charge is displayed as the approximate distance to go, who can pass on the remaining charge in the battery. Thus, traveling at 20 km tether, the driver received a charge, which is enough for 100 kilometers of independent travel.
