Man Uses Petrol-Powered Generator To Charge His Tesla, Looks Like Jugaad Isn't Just An Indian Thing
In the video, the person recording can be seen making conversation with another man whose Tesla car has apparently run out of charge. However, what is interesting here is that the man has a fuel canister in his hand and the person behind the camera wants to know how will he 'charge' his electric car with gas.
Apparently, you can hack a Tesla to use fuel - in a way - and there's a video to prove it.
So, Tesla's USP is that it makes electric cars, right? Well, jugaad is definitely not just an Indian concept but belongs to all of mankind. A video of a Tesla owner using a Honda gasoline generator to charge his car was shared by Indian business tycoon Mr Anand Mahindra, on Twitter.
Chairman of the Mahindra Group, Mr Mahindra is known to share things that catch his attention with the rest of us and this one's something nobody has ever seen before. He captioned the video with, 'And we thought jugaad was purely an Indian talent! Hilarious. A Honda-powered Tesla...'

However, what is interesting here is that the man has a fuel canister in his hand and the person behind the camera wants to know how will he 'charge' his electric car with gas.
The man then goes on to show him a Honda gasoline-powdered generator. His innovative trick is to put the gasoline in the generator and then charge the car using it. Genius, right?
