If you love a road trip you’ll love the tale of the Tesla Cybertruck and its buddy that drove 11,000 miles from Florida to the Arctic Ocean and back again.
No generators were involved in the journey.
However, two new Tesla Level 2 chargers were installed on Canada’s Dempster Highway.
It was certainly needed for the 11,000-mile round-trip that didn’t use a drop of gasoline or diesel to recharge the electric vehicles (EVs).

The epic road trip
The Tesla Cybertruck has taken a fair amount of criticism and jokes about its appearance.
However, the longest and most challenging road trip ever undertaken by a Cybertruck is proof of its performance.
The ‘Arctic Cybertrek’ saw two modified and varied Tesla pickup trucks driving from Florida down to the below-zero temperatures of Tuktoyaktuk at the end of Canada’s Dempster Highway.
It’s a distance totaling 5,500 miles one way – and that’s before they headed back.
Justin Damaree, known as The Bearded Tesla, Rafael Santoni and Nancy Santoni, known as Teslatino and Teslatina, and professional kite flier and Tesla investor Gary Mark took part.
The two Cybertrucks were fitted with goodies from Unplugged Performance and a custom roof rack from Urander – however, there were further customizations.
Charging the Tesla Cybertruck
In addition to DC fast chargers from other providers, they mainly juiced up using the Tesla Supercharger network.
However, charging with third-party chargers wasn’t without its issues in Canada’s Northwest Territories, which has no Tesla Superchargers.
It was certainly ended to get to the end of the 460-mile unpaved highway, the Dempster Highway.
Six Tesla Level 2 wall chargers were installed en route – but only one is operational, according to Tesla’s charger map at the time of writing with others to follow.
Thankfully the controversial Tesla Cybertrucks that cost in excess of $100,000, experienced no other issues – good news for the expanding empire.
