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.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
