Tesla Cybertruck Road Trip Cross Country - OVER 5k Miles!! (Florida to the Arctic Ocean)

[@yaboyyasin]

This is quite simply, in my humble opinion, the greatest road trip ever for us EV enthusiasts. Great video and congratulations on the success. Very well deserved.

[@Greytusks]

Thanks for sharing this trip. It was an interesting adventure in itself. Opinion/suggestion on how the video was put together : most of the video is the camera staring mostly at the screen, and you talking about charging spots/time. This would be fine if this was a video about the EV's efficiency, but I see this as an adventure/trip video about going to the artic, not a charging/efficiency experience video. For me, I would have loved a better focus on you, your experience, your stories, the adventure and the trip in the truck itself. It would have been more interesting than looking at the truck's screen for more than half the video. Each stop, instead of talking about charging, talking more about the current rest stop and the area/region around it?

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

The Arctic CyberTrek is the next one and it’s nothing like my traditional road trip videos

[@qman66]

Nah we love his traditional road trips videos. They're great

[@sleepnclass]

Agree with all of this. I liked the charging information a lot, but, I wish you had showed the energy graph and more of the display at charging. Sometimes information was cut off by the camera angle.

[@Wraggler87298]

Best line, he's really putting that bike through the paces.

Thanks!

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Thank you!

[@hanissommerville]

Absolutely epic! I remember when I met you at the Tesla summer meetup in Michigan and you said something big is coming later in the year.. never would’ve guessed this. Really cool that you were able to make it work

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

I told ya!

[@Longsnowsm]

Cool trip. Remember to be thankful for those 50kwh chargers. Lots of places in the lower 48 when you get off the beaten path you are thankful to find these DCFC. Just illustrates that efficiency does matter. During the heavy travel times and holidays these rural 50kwh DCFC stack up with people waiting for a charge and it gets bad if you have places to be. Even worse if the charger is derated or down. It has saved my bacon to keep a good buffer and try to limp to another charger on a couple of occasions now. Sounds like on that route you were on there isn't even a limp to plan b site if those chargers are down or clogged with people waiting. Hopefully there are plans to correct this. Sounds like the trip went well.

[@TheEVUniverse]

FRUNK YEAH you guys are awesome

[@TheZackg32]

Ready for part 2!!!

[@kdub1666]

Nice work. Still a way to go to the Artic Ocean. I think Anchorage just had 10 days straight of clouds and rain.

[@atlmz6]

The rack makes it look better imo.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

For sure!

[@HernandezHitTheRoad]

I literally just watched the entire video and man! I kept getting excited again lol what a trip man! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@recklessbehaviour01]

I seen these two trucks a few hours ago charging in Cache Creek, BC. Only a few hours to get back to the Canada/US border from there, that's a long trek, I couldn't sit and wait that long on chargers. Waaaay more patience than me.

[@VishnuKamath]

The Cybertruck looks Dope. May be tesla should take a look at creating this variant

[@eprohoda]

good evening, like it~ you mde breathtaking ~

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@darylfortney8081]

This is really great to see because I was planning a similar trip from Georgia north to montreal and then west to alaska. Canada has plenty of superchargers but I don’t think Alaska has many.

[@Radium3D]

Super awesome, thanks for setting up new charging points on the way too! Small suggestion, the amount of charging stop clips all in a row might terrify people who don't drive EVs because it seems like all the trip was was a ton of charging stops. Other travel channels I love never show stops at the gas station, they tend to focus on the sights and scenery along the way with very little to no refuel/recharge clips. I'm not sure if this is good thinking though, let me know.

[@footballfan993]

Congrats on the trip! Wish I knew you were in Janesville, WI, would’ve loved to meet you!

[@bikergeekgd]

Epic journey. Regarding car battery range calculations, I don't wait for the Tesla to recalculate the necessary charge. I just take the distance to the next charger and add around 100 miles. Doing this has never let me down. I did a 5800 mile road trip from Tampa to Vegas and back (with lots of sightseeing detours). For long road trip, I always carry my portable charge pack. In an emergency, I could connect to any live AC outlet anywhere (municipal light poles, park gazebos, RV campsites, etc.). Thankfully, I have never needed to use the portable adapter except for VRBO house rental locations that have offered free charging.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Nah, I don’t like to “overcharge” on this trip though I had to because I was installing gear at stops and it took a long time

[@adamdarklord]

Ayyy you passed through my state 🙌 Wi

BTG the northern lights in your shots were so cool and so far not mentioned? 😮

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

They were amazing!

[@Deetroiter]

Did anyone else notice the CT graphic on the screen at 20:00 ? Why does the screen graphic show gas or air suddenly filling the interior of the vehicle? You can see it start from the front of the graphic and start flowing to the rear passenger area of the CT. Also, Everyday Sandro did his Arctic trip in his Model X...why's everyone on KZbin suddenly driving their EV's to the Arctic?

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

He decided to do it, nothing to do with my trip. Mine was more than just a drive there and back though. You will see

[@Deetroiter]

@@BeardedTeslaGuy I'm looking forwards to it! My comment wasn't meant as a knock towards you or anyone else, just a genuine question was all. I'd drive my MYP to the Arctic if I could lol...Also, The Cybertrucks are looking great, as well!

Notable that the first charging bottleneck was at a non-tesla charger.

Could you swap tires once in Alaska? From Florida to Canada you drive on efficient tires. Once over there you swap to rugged.

[@_cjmccullough]

Sheesh going 80 in a 55mph zone is wild!

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Don’t pay attention to the screen speed limit. It’s not very accurate unfortunately

[@wayofflow955]

Couldn’t you limit the current to 40 amps from the Tesla menu so the charger doesn’t shutdown every 5 minutes?

[@teslatalk42069]

I would not have even contemplated taking this journey until FSD hit the truck

[@brianbaker3731]

As a potential future Tesla owner, I am curious about the trip planner. It's nice to see all the routing to get you to the chargers along the way... I thought it was interesting that you needed to add your own time estimates for charging in order to get your own arrival time estimate. Is the trip planner not able to estimate charging times at each of those stops?

[@dmartk]

I’m surprised that you didn’t tag along some kind of generator with a 30a output in order to maximize your options for fuel sources.

[@cccaaa9034]

48:20 1993 Crysler Saratoga LE? Looks to be in excellent condition. The badging is Canadian?

From your current charger always charge to an alternate too.

[@CT_KD6-3.7]

Epic trip🤘🏻😎. Please post the total SC and 3rd party station costs 🤔. Those tires are dragging at over 620wh/mi 😳. Safe travels always ✌🏼😎.

[@CIULLASQUAD]

This is awesome thanks for taking us along. I’m gonna be taking myself and my three boys to the Arctic Circle next summer and we’re gonna be leaving from Wisconsin. Would you be able to get me the route you took for charging along the way?

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Just plug it in your car and it’ll get you to Prince George. Everything else is custom location setting from plug share

[@VedaSay]

FreeWire: Is that general experience of other drivers or its cause the CT is heating it up too quick. May be reduce the rate of charging?...until they upgrade the chargers for newer vehicles.

[@rupetto1959]

where did you find the ev charger location in Canada? scouting single EV provider?

[@stinkwink695]

How did you not get pulled over doing 80 the whole way, most of your trip through MN is 60 or 65, 70 is the highest speed limit in MN.

[@GarretL757]

How do you find the quality of light from the DTRL and headlights?

[@zincfive]

Man what an awful trip. In canada you pull in to a fuel stop with a little over 2 hours to drive. Instead of 5 minutes to get 350 miles in the tank, you sit in your car for 1:50, no food, no hotel, no titty bar, nothing. Then drive the two hours 10, and arrive with a 2 hour chore to get more fuel. Dude, I hope the freebies you get are worth it, I'd rather have a decent nights sleep at a motel, get a half decent meal, spend 15 minutes fueling up, compared to sitting and sleeping in my car for days on end and eating at truck stops. You paid 100 grand for a 40 grand truck, put a 2500 charger in you house for this pleasure. Cruel and Inhumane punishment this tesla cult.

[@SpaceTravel1776]

Have fun changing your oil. Have fun stopping at gas stations. No gas stations needed when you charge at home for daily driving. Have fun paying 5x as much for fuel to drive your car to McDonald’s. Sorry you don’t get it. Most likely you don’t want to.

[@TheRealEstateHunterInc]

I'd love to know the travel time to charge time ratio...and charge time includes when you exit the freeway looking for the charging station. Looks like you are driving for 2 hours and charging for 35-40 min. Massively inefficient use of time.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

1 hour total charging per 5 hours drive time

[@Kryssthealien]

Honest question: How long was the charging time in total (including when you had to wait for free plugs)?

[@GigaTeslaFan]

Hopefully Tesla and Canadian transportation sees this and puts in more solar powered chargers in place.

[@darylfortney8081]

My plan is to build a simple plywood platform with foam slab across the rear seats with a hinged extension forward when the passenger seat is fully forward to sleep diagonally across the rear seats. I’m 5’8” it’s going to be tight. Stock tires. No rear rack. Maybe the cyber tent for when I’m away from civilization. Some sort of 20 gallon gas tank and generator in the bed. I'll probably wait until the extender pack is installed before my trip. Is your ride height set to Medium even when driving? Low would give much better mileage. Tesla really needs to connect these classic destinations with the supercharger network. There is shame in that the charging experiences are the highlights of this journey. Would be nice to see and experience more of the actual countryside and less of the technical details of charging.
