Warped Perception is well-known for its odd Tesla modifications, they modified a Tesla Model S to become the first ever Cordless Tesla. Also,he’s managed the vehicle to make a 1,600-mile or more trip without needing to charge.

This is the first version of the cordless Tesla which is burning gasoline to charge the car instead of the conventional plug-in charger.The car not only charges itself while it’s sitting and parked but also while driving the entire time.The car then charges itself while it is sitting, but also on the move as well, to really extend the range of the Tesla.

Just for reference with the mpg number this car is almost 1000 horsepower all wheel drive, I didn’t go into those details in the video because I didn’t want to make it confusing.This is not my typical video but I absolutely had to document my progress with my project here and share it with everybody.

To clarify I did have to stop for about 5 to 6 hours a day while the car continued to charge itself back up since it’s using more energy driving then it’s making.In the video, he shows his Model S P85D with a small gasoline engine occupying the trunk, explaining that the hardware is used to replenish the battery.
All of those stops and lack of sleep is one of the reasons I was dead tired for almost the entire trip, some of those days I was so tired I could barely speak. I also made sure to make a few stops along the way that I thought were pretty cool to make the video more exciting.
