Take your Tesla to Iceland, where most or all electricity is from geothermal wells (STEAM TURBINE generators), there’s your steam/electric hybrid system.

I can’t see how you could ever overcome warm up times and losses in multiple conversions to make a steam electric self contained system work.  Maybe for a bus or garbage truck run round the clock it could work?
