"A gas supplier company in the Netherlands has effectively doubled the range of the Tesla Model S by adding hydrogen power to the electric luxury sedan. Dubbed the "Hesla," the modification adds a second charging supply to the existing electrical system, using a tank of hydrogen as an alternative fuel source.
Last week, the Holthausen Group announced that it had begun testing the prototype vehicle. With a fully charged battery and a tank of hydrogen, the Helsa can travel close to 620 miles — nearly twice the range of the stock Model S P100D." http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2017/11/13/meet-hesla-modded-tesla-model-s-that-runs-on-hydrogen-fuel.html

This is why the article is cheaty stunt.
My wife's new car can theoretically tow 3500 pounds which is close enough to 3600 to make the math easy, and at about six pounds per gallon for avgas, and presumably mogas, that would be about six hundred gallons of gas, which again in the theme of making the math easy at 15 mpg which is probably pessimistic, thats nine THOUSAND miles without refueling. Of course the oil change interval is 5000 miles so you'll have to change the oil while underway, LOL.
I'm sure if you take a four seat tesla and replace three of the standard people-of-walmart passengers at 300 pounds per with fuel tanks, thats some 900 pounds of extra batteries or H2 or whatever.
