Yes vfx is quite right, two cars can only share a bit of charge (say 20% max?). But with moderate driving at 50 mph the Roadster can go ~40 miles on 10kWh.
This is really only suitable for a recovery situation. Towing around a portable ICE-driven generator is obviously a better way to deliver more charge - either in an emergency or for a really long journey where you need to cover several hundred miles in a day (Elon's 1% of journeys).
I just like the simplicity of Tesla not needing to invest in helping develop a battery swap system or commercial recharging stations. Their focus is the cars - so the best mobile recharger is (for their business) another car.
Tesla really shouldn't get involved with charging/swapping infrastructure stuff. Stick with the cars guys.
