Why we picked a Cybertruck to travel the world

Years ago, at the start of my adventure around the world overland trip, I hesitated between a Mercedes G500 and a Jeep Wrangler. I finally decided to go with the Wrangler as I could remove the roof and the doors. In my opinion, this was priceless:

How’s that! In Baja California on this pic.

Can’t wait to reproduce the same picture as above but with the Cybertruck!

Shipping the Jeep across the Darien Gap! Colon, Panama, to Cartagena, Colombia.

With the age comes wisdom, or at least, one would think.

One thing is sure: with age, comes a desire for peace. And the Wrangler isn’t for that haha. It’s for the young folk (me) wanting to travelling the world in a convertible and play a sort of Indiana Jones character along the way. But sometimes I craved for…safety. Like, being able to lock my Jeep. After running into crazy situation in Honduras, Nicaragua and Brazil, I feel like travelling with something safer. The Cybertruck is the answer to my desire to shell myself out of this world. It’s my home, after all!

I went too fast in the America. A gas engine will always make me go too fast. You are not forced to stop, and so sometimes you pass over small villages that should I have been investigated.

I can see a few advantages with overlanding the world in a Cybertruck:

Forced to slow down and recharge
Bulletproof (to a certain extent)
Look insanely beautiful (It’s the official truck of The Most Beautiful World)
It’s huge! Roamy!
It will be easy to fix… as there are less parts that can break down.
My sister and I would be the first to travel around the world in an all electric truck. Something cool to say to our friends around a cold brew somewhere lost in Dublin anyway.

And a few cons:

Hard to repair… as it’s all “electronic";
Limited range, bad when in need to GET OUT OF DODGE (such as when I was in Cuenca, Ecuador, that one night…);
Too flashy. Might attract too much attention in some poorer part of the world. Target. Look at those gringo below! We have PLEASE KIDNAP US all over us.

Two gringos in a Cybertruck… it will be insane hahahha. We got t-shirt, so it’s official meow.

We got about 2 more years of wandering around the world in a Jeep before switching things up. 2 years is short! We are heading in the Amazonias: then to Europe for the summer 2020, and from there to Mongolia. Maybe we will be entirely sick of travelling in 2021 and take that year to “rest” before undertaking another world tour. I drove so far 250 000 kilometres on five continents (motorcycles, Jeep, Lexus, Mercedes).

The Cybertruck will be ridiculous. I am all about green energy, despite the obvious murder of the planet to get the lithium and other rare earth element.

We want to be the first to make an around-the-world-in-an-electric-truck. This guy made half of it in an electrical car.

This is The Most Beautiful World – and yes, we will carry the banner of all that is wonderful and amazing in a Tesla Cyber.

I must have spent over $30k in fuel so far. At least. ($20 average per 100 kms: 250 000/ 100 = 2500 *20 = 50 000) Canadian dollars. That’s almost the price of a base Cybertruck!

Anyway.

See you in your town in the near future.
