| | |  | | Cybertruck Arctic Expedition: From Florida to the Frozen North, Pushing EV Limits. A team of adventurers has embarked on a journey from Florida to the Arctic Circle in Tesla Cyber Trucks, demonstrating the obstacles of using EV in environments. | Quartz The expedition began in southern Florida, crossing the U.S. and into Canada, where the team will embark on a 500-mile trek from the Arctic Circle to the Arctic Ocean. 🚕 Charging the Cybertrucks has proven difficult, especially in northern Canada where Tesla Superchargers are scarce. The team is relying on limited, sometimes unreliable public chargers in remote areas like the Yukon. The freezing Arctic conditions are expected to reduce battery range. 🔋 The team faces potential encounters with polar bears and other wildlife. 🐻❄️
