An ongoing Tesla Cybertruck expedition to the Arctic Ocean has been quietly catching the attention of the electric vehicle community. If successful, the participants of the expedition would be able to bring their Cybertrucks farther than anyone before.
The participants of the Cybertruck Arctic expedition, dubbed the Arctic Cybertrek, are veteran Tesla owners operating two modified Cybertrucks. The project’s official website describes the route that the twin Cybertrucks of the expedition would take to reach the edge of the Arctic Ocean.
Crazy when you see the route!

“The ultimate Arctic adventure begins on the fabled Dempster Highway. Long ribbons of road stretch 460 miles from Dawson City in Yukon to Inuvik in the Northwest Territories. Traversing stunning landscapes through the boreal forest, crossing Canada’s largest river – the mighty Mackenzie – out onto the Tundra, and onto the Inuvik- Tuktoyaktuk Highway, ending right at the edge of the Arctic Ocean,” the expedition’s official page read.

Participants of the Arctic Cybertrek, such as @teslatino, @beardedtesla, and @blueskykites, have been posting updates of their journey on social media, and so far, it appears that the expedition is going well. Of course, there are challenges along the way, such as the absence of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, as well as dangerous roads. But that, ultimately, is part of the journey’s charm.

For now, one could only hope that twin Cybertrucks of the Arctic Cybertrek expedition do reach their destination without any issues. If successful, the Tesla owners would be able to prove that the Cybertruck is an all-electric vehicle that could reach some of the most stunning and remote parts of the world, even without features like Full Self-Driving (FSD).

The Tesla Cybertruck’s toughness has been such a huge part of the vehicle’s marketing that it has spawned video after video of influencers just beating on the all-electric pickup truck until something breaks. While Cybertruck durability tests are mostly low-brow fun, they have gotten quite old as of late. It is then quite refreshing to see an honest-to-goodness long-distance test of the Cybertruck being done by Tesla owners not for clout but for the sustainability movement and the EV community as a whole.
