Tesla extends battery range for cars in path of tropical storm Florence

Before Hurricane Florence hit, Tesla gave its electric cars a boost by extending the range of their batteries to help people evacuate.

Florence made landfall in North Carolina on Friday before being downgraded to a tropical storm. 

As NPR reported, Tesla can remotely tap into the max capacity of its 75 kWh batteries in Model S and X vehicles, adding about 30 more miles of range.
