Elon Musk’s Tesla Cybertruck reaches from Florida to the Arctic Ocean

In this story

I admit, I didn’t expect to shout “woo hoo!” about something done by a Cyber ​​truckbut the expedition from South Florida to the Arctic Ocean completed this week is an incredible feat that the organizers should be proud of regardless of the vehicle they took, but especially in an electric vehicle.

Things didn’t always go well for the three Cybertruck owners who originally left Florida. As it turns out, charging infrastructure is still pretty light north of the 49th parallel. Still, these guys managed to get their giant electric cars to the watery edge of the top of the world without bringing a generator or other little tricks along the way , reports. Futurism:

And no, as assured by the team member who goes by the name of Bearded Tesla Futurismthe team didn’t even pack spare gas generators to cover the hundreds of miles across the extremely sparsely populated region.

In fact, throughout the trip, the team donated Tesla Wall Connectors, which are Level 2 EV chargers designed for home use, to local businesses along the way.

“We’ve worked with local companies to strategically place Level 2 chargers along the route so all EVs can make this journey after us,” he said. Futurism. “They stay there for future travelers. They will be on the Tesla map in the car when they are online.”

“This is 100 percent electric, no generators of any kind,” he added. “We have a special mission, which is to electrify Dempster.”

The team hopes to promote a “sustainable energy future” with their journey. And judging by the number of brand new EV chargers gracing the walls of auto shops in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, it’s been a big hit.

“This is a win for ALL VEs today!” Tesla with a beard he posted on Twitter.

It’s a pretty brilliant move, one that will hopefully bring renewed energy to building EV infrastructure in rural areas.

Have you ever wanted to do something so bad that you can’t even get jealous of the people who actually get to do it? You just feel an overwhelming sense of “hell yeah bro”. It’s me and I’m driving to the Arctic Circle. It’s just an amazing thing to do and everyone at Arctic Cybertrek should certainly be proud.
