It's a cute idea, though I don't know if you can charge from the charging port while driving. That being said Tesla's supercharger network is massive and only people driving extended trips in the middle of nowhere flyover country will need anything other than the superchargers.

Here's the map of them: https://www.tesla.com/supercharger

You would need some computer hacking skills to get it to work. It's definitely physically possible to charge the car while driving. It is physically possible for a computer attached to the battery to tell a diesel generator on a trailer to turn on or turn off. But to make all that work within the software that the Tesla already has to manage its battery, you would want the cooperation of Tesla itself.
If their software is open source, some outside programmer with some talent could figure it out though
