The Pan-American Highway is the world’s longest highway, almost spanning the full length of North and South America. Before today, no one had yet driven from the tippy top of North America (Tuktoyaktuk) into the Darien Gap to the southern tip in South America (Ushuaia) in an electric vehicle solo - unsupported. My Model X, Beluga, was converted into the ultimate stealth overlanding rig, with a full kitchen, running water, Starlink and 300 watts of solar panels on the hood, which allowed us to roam across some of the best most remote places on Earth with confidence.
The real challenges here…border crossings, cartels, and corrupt cops, yet I embraced it all. Charging on the other hand, was quite a puzzle sometimes, being a foreigner and having very little information to go on. I discovered how far along the electric movement is and where the short comings lie…and I can say with confidence that Tesla Supercharging is the best and most reliable infrastructure out there…
I wanted to showcase that anyone with a dream can make it happen, without needing all the answers. Thank you to all the kind strangers that helped along the way, and the countless dogs that adopted us and kept guard at night!

The irony..Ushuaia currently doesn’t have any power…so this message is coming from Space, Powered by my Custom Solar Panels!
@Tesla – at Ushuaia, Argentina

We saw a SPECTACLED BEAR on day 1 of @maineaudubon’s tour in Ecuador!! I can not express how amazing this was, amongst a day of incredible birding (including Andean Condor sightings) around Antisana Reserve.

Wait for the second attack!! Angry birds IRL. Ospreys rarely attempt to steal from each other but when they do it’s alway very interesting! The bird with the fish somehow sees the second Osprey coming without even looking back and manages to duck out of the way at the last possible second. Glad I’m not a fish!

Read about a 16-year-old Sudanese kid in Australia who ran 100m in 10.2 seconds this year. Found the footage— freakin ridiculous.
