Good morning, Cyberloco is going to try a new world record with CT and they want to get some help from us.

This email and the schedule 
CyberLocos, baby!
Alan and I are crossing the world in an electric vehicle — more specifically, a Tesla Cybertruck. We’re driving across all continents, 60 countries, over 100,000 kilometers in the span of one year, and we hope to earn a Guinness World Record (we’ve applied and our attempt has been approved: most countries visited on a journey in an electric pickup truck).
We started in January by crossing the USA. Then we shipped the vehicle from Miami to Lima. In April, we began in Lima and crossed Peru, Bolivia, and Chile, all the way down to Patagonia. After that, we continued through Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil, until we arrived in Santos, where the vehicle will be shipped to Europe.
Driving around the world in an electric car is definitely no easy task.
We’ve faced many challenges along the way — and will probably face many more going forward. I’m always a little nervous when we charge for the first time in a new country. The first city we arrived at in Peru after leaving Lima had no grounding in the outlet we were supposed to charge from. When we got to Copacabana in Bolivia, there was only one hotel in the entire town that had both a charging station and grounding — and I managed to blow all the fuses there. In the Atacama Desert in Chile, we lost the road at night and ended up driving for 45 minutes through sand dunes looking for the road (that was when I was the most scared on the trip — afraid of stopping and getting stuck).
When it comes to charging, some countries have been more challenging than others, due to the lack of charging infrastructure. We’ve had to charge at hotels, universities through regular wall outlets. Sometimes — or maybe I should say many times — we’ve used slow chargers. Sometimes they were free with the hotel, other times we had to pay for them. In Chile, you need a local credit card to charge. In Argentina, it’s easier because you can pay with foreign cards. In Brazil, you need a social security number (CPF) to use paid charging. Although there are sometimes free chargers at shopping malls, we did find several free chargers at gas stations in the south.
We also drove down Bolivia’s Carretera de la Muerte (Death Road) — the first electric vehicle in the world to do so.
When we stop, we organize events where we tell people about the car, the project, and let them take pictures with us and the vehicle. We probably have thousands of pictures with people, and many thousands more of just the truck, of course. Sometimes we organized with the mayor of the city, sometimes we contacted the local tourism office to help organize, and sometimes we organize events around wherever we had to charge the car — since we often had to stay for a while while charging. This was especially the case in Chile, where we also had to cover great distances. Naturally, there’s a lot of enthusiasm and curiosity when we arrive with the vehicle. Usually, if media hasn’t been contacted in advance, it takes about an hour before they show up. We’ve done many interviews for local TV, radio, and newspapers — and some at the national level too.
On social media, we’re called CyberLocos. We’re on all platforms, but probably post the most on Instagram. We have tons of footage that has been filmed and will come out gradually — but the person editing is still working on stage 1 in Peru, so he’s way behind.
We will arrive in UAE in the end of October. I am letting you know in advance in case there is some interest to do something with us. We already did an event with Tesla in Chile (Cars&Coffee). I think this is a very exciting story to tell. We’re following in the footsteps of great adventurers while promoting electric mobility, and we hope to inspire others to follow their own dreams and help make the future better and cleaner.
Attached are some photos from the trip in South America (Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina).
Hope you enjoy them.
