A tesla model 3 is 50kwh. So if this was making energy full blast, which will rarely happen. It would take 84 hrs minimum, thats sun all the time. If you had 16 of these. Then it might be more possible.
A model 3 gets between 3.5 and 5.5 mi per kWh, so this could give you 8.4 to 13.2 miles a day if it delivers the full 2.4 kWh
I'm not sure how you got a daily capacity of 2.4 kwh? 400 w * 24h = 9600 and the solar panels, let's say 6 hours of sun = another 1200 watts. I know 400 watts from the wind power 24 hours a day is unrealistic but technically possible, at least for capacity reasons.
If these weren't so large, I could see someone putting them on a Tesla or RV (to power onboard electronics). I'm bad with electric specs, but I assume it would create some drag and lower the efficiency of the vehicle?

The amount of energy you gain would be canceled by losses to drag and heat.

Small note as well, the amount of sun in an area is rated in "sun hours", and is typically 5 hours or less in most areas. After losses from a charge controller (and possible battery + inverter), the fact that panels reduce to around 80% of rated capacity once they get hot, and potential improper placement, you're lucky to get 70-80% of the rated power, and that's if the panels are true to their word.
Solar is hard, and wind is much harder.
Not enough power.
