@spencereyes235 Because it doesn't matter how many gas cans you bring, when this thing runs out of juice in the woods, you're screwed. It's that simple.
Even the solar cover will only net about 5-10 miles (on road) worth of electricity per day. So, you get to spend all day (hopefully) sitting in a sunny spot, so you can maybe make it out of the woods...if you camp close to roads.
However, we're talking about comparing it to real 4x4s, not AWD crossovers with 6" of ground clearance. In which case, we're talking about doing long, difficult trails to get to your destination. Again, when a normal 4x4 runs low on gas, you grab a gas can and add fuel. Worst case scenario, you can borrow some from someone else on the trail. Nobody carries a spare Tesla charger or a 50 mile extension cord in their gear.
I suppose you could carry a generator and fuel and enjoy your 8-12 hour "charge break" wherever your truck dies. Personally, I'd rather just pour that fuel in my tank and hit the trail. I'm weird like that.
