Tesla Motors Club

I live in the Phoenix metro area and was speaking to a gentleman from Montana about Tesla. He indicated that the closest town to him was 150 miles away and when thinking of driving a Tesla to that town, he was experiencing range anxiety. He said that chargers are sparse, especially at the town he would be driving to. So this brought up something I have been thinking of since I first learned of the Model S.

Have any of you current Tesla owners ever tried to charge your car using a portable generator like maybe a Honda 240v generator? I've always wondered what the practicality of carrying a portable generator in the trunk or frunk (if it would fit) would be when traveling to areas sparse of chargers, like the gentleman I spoke to from Montana.

I look forward to hearing about what you experienced about charging with a portable generator.
