The Donut guys on Youtube tried to take one for a standard off-road adventure and had to abort early due to running out of battery. They also had to recharge twice before they made it to the trail.
Seriously though, some solar panels and an inverter are easier to come by and rig up than an oil well, a well head and a whole working refinery. My house has been running autonomously since 28th of April and that includes driving and heating. Gas stations would have been empty in that timespan.

It’s for one of those apocalypses where there’s readily-available electric generators.

I think you underestimate how much electricity is necessary for a Cybertruck.
There’s a reason why Elon’s solar charging promises never pan out.
My car uses 20kWh/100km. 40kWh/100km would be okay as well, it’s still in the same magnitude, just double. I’m running 8kWp at the moment.
For that and your house? On a daily basis?
Yeah, 8kWp results in about 55kWh/day right now. Easily enough.
