Stopped for a Model Y that was on an overpass with the hazards on. Couple ran out of juice about 2 miles from some Superchargers. Luckily there was enough room to pull over out of traffic. Used the Cybertruck's NEMA 14-50 to charge the Model Y for about 15 minutes. Gave him enough to make it to the Supercharger. He said any kind of support when we called roadside was going to be hours before they could make it. Didn't get any pictures, lot of traffic including big rigs so stayed inside the truck :)

That's great! How long did they charge for and how many miles did they get?

Would be great if you could directly charge from charging port to charging port to avoid the DC-AC-DC conversion. Wonder what you would need to do for that.

Also, good to know you could tow and charge them too like this guy did:

I’d guess it was about 15 minutes. Their Y still said 0% and 0 miles but he made it the couple miles to the Supercharger :)
