Cordless Tesla 3.0 Turbo Diesel (3500 Miles Without Charging) P.3

I Build a Cordless Tesla that charges itself and Take Another road trip with the Tesla but this time I went 3500 Miles without charging, and without the waiting time to charge up with version 3.0 of the Tesla with a generator in Trunk.

I built a jet go-kart for Danny Duncan and drove it to his house to give it to him in person and this was also my destination, The total round trip including stops was 3500 Miles and I used 76.2 gallons of Diesel which brought my actual Miles Per Gallon 45.69 MPG in my All Wheel Drive Tesla.
I had quite a few issues along the way and I included all of that in this video.

I had an idea for electric cars that's similar to what you did. Instead of mounting the engine in the car, instead mount it in a light trailer along with the fuel and the radiator. That way you only need to tow the diesel engine when you need range extension. You can also get an engine that's the perfect size and have a larger diesel tank while minimizing noise and modifications to your car. A Coleman Caboose trailer is kind of the size I was thinking but obviously made out of something more heat resistant.

Machining that pulley into a trigger wheel is actually really impressive man. Huge respect. Not many realize how technical doing that is.

[@WarpedPerception]

That was a very hard decision, I was trying to keep everything really compact and the diesel really didn't have any mounting points for any sort of trigger wheel at all. Glad you appreciated that, it was a lot of work And I didn't even show the CAD

You're right and especially memories of what not to do next time... But I guess that's the research and development game. After this video I'm redesigning the entire system, I have a very optimistic goal in mind, and my goal here is not to build a hybrid, these are stepping stones for a bigger More ambitious project I'm working on.

[@nadnerb2k]

I had a PHEV (Outlander PHEV) that returned 29mpg at 68mph on the freeway on a 1200 mile trip (touch over 8l/100km at 110km/h). For you to beat that with a home made diesel generator solution is seriously impressive. I respect the hell out of the job done here. Well done.

[@lennartsix6102]

8l /100km sounds pretty bad for a hybrid tho. I mean idk what car you were using but if it was a mitsubishi outlander then i think even the full petrol version should be drivable with below 10 litres. But i dont have any practical experience with hybrids so i dont really know

[@weedwacker1716]

@@More_Row A couple of reasons. First, pickup bed for fuel tank (this needs to be on one tank of fuel if it can be done). Next, people will see it coming from over the horizon and know it's an EV, when they get close they can see a big sticker on the side that says, "Diesel Electric Cannonball." Of course this would be at the legal speed limit - done only for purposes of demonstration. 😉

[@MrAnonymous720]

Now it needs reliability. Gotta engineer it like Toyota.

[@fZionists78]

Step one- Make it a gutless rattletrap. Step two- Make it less efficient and handle horribly. Two steps closer to Toyota. “Toyota reliability” is the lack of engineering. The absence of comfort, performance, and advancements. Reliability can only be measured against similar performance. I suppose Ford could remove the twin turbos from their 3.5 ecoboost, replace the 10-speed with a 4, cheapen up the chassis, and strive for 3 star safety ratings. Then F150s would last as long and be as useless as a “reliable” Tacoma. Anyone can produce cheaply made reliable commuter cars. Most drivers/customers demand more. Hence why Toyota is ditching their reliable, gutless, gas guzzling v8 and copying the ecoboost. When a vehicle isn’t nearly as comfortable, fast, well handling, capable of doing the work etc., reliability can’t be compared.

[@logitech4873]

​@@fZionists78 Last I checked the F-150 has terrible safety scores. But then again, it's a monstrously huge vehicle and it makes no sense as a personal car.

That's pretty good consumption numbers for an aerodynamically compromised design. Next step is to improve the cooling, streamline aero further and turn that Tesla into a more functional hybrid. Any chance of actually fitting the engine in the frunk with some layout optimization?

[@WarpedPerception]

Surprisingly the Tesla is very aerodynamically compromised... A lot of people don't realize that and that has crossed my mind. Crazy enough mounting that Giant spoiler on there angled properly actually helped my numbers, nobody believes me I didn't even believe it, but I tested it over and over and over again with and without. I'm pretty sure it's breaking up some sort of high pressure zone behind the car is my guess... But even now is all right this I'm still very doubtful that it's helping even though I tested it 20 times.

[@travis.napier]

​@@WarpedPerceptionYeah a lot of cars aerodynamic progress is made from the flow off the rear, I can believe it!

this guy has the WORST luck i've ever seen, but the best attitude and most persistance out of anyone

[@ElNeroDiablo]

Just doing the conversion maths using values in the info box... (all values are rounded up/down to 2 decimal places) 288.45L of diesel, 5632.7km of distance... That's 19.53km/L, or using 5.12L per 100km, is just-on $10 AUD of diesel ($1.96 AUD/L) per 100km of travel where I live. Honestly; that's pretty damn impressive considering the mass of the AWD Tesla and the reduced aerodynamics to have the cutout for the engine's exhaust in the boot, plus the running of the engine overnight to recharge the battery instead of hooking up to the grid.

[@whatta7793]

I drive diesel variant of the see-thru car, same color exterior/interior even, a 2005 E-320 CDI... it's onboard computer reports about 40mpg highway if I keep CC locked around 69mph but in truth, 35mpg is more realistic when calculating gallons between fill-ups.
