May be an image of car and text that says "A thousand words can be generated by just this one picture. This IS Tesla's roadside assistance vehicle filling up at the gas pump. FOODMA TESLA HLT #BightLagMata"

Lucky bastards, for years now in Australia we have to hold the trigger on the pump.

 

If you look closely at the mechanism, the key part has been removed.

 

I think everyone has forgotten that we once didn't have to hold the trigger. 

 

I get bloody cramp in my hands & have to swap hands a few times filling the tank.

I think it would have been an even worse look if Tesla were to have bought an electric roadside assistance van from a competitor, given that they didn't yet have one of their own.

Tesla's President of Global Sales and Service, Jon McNeill, admitted at a recent event in Amsterdam (via Electrek):

"We didn't think that it was very cool to show up to fix an electric vehicle with a combustion engine van. It really bugged us. Some really savvy technicians on our team figured out how to retrofit Model X to fit all the tooling and parts needed to do service."
