Sorry to hear about your father😢 I know he is looking down at you and is beyond proud. I guarantee he was with you when you made it to the Arctic ocean. I lost my mother last February , no words. Nice content
Your video made my heart so happy. I recently lost my dad as well. My deepest condolences on your loss. As an old man of 55 who has less life in front of me than behind, it gives me great hope that a young man would strike out on his own to have an adventure. I see so many young, unmarried people with no real obligations who are afraid to do something like this. Your journey was a quest that you succeed in. I hope you have many more to come. Go see amazing and even ordinary things! Live life to the fullest! I know I'm just some random commenter on RUclips and this may not mean much but I'm going to type it anyway; I'm very proud of you. Your dad would be as well.
@@EdHarrell1 hey thank you for sharing this as I do truly feel the love! Sometimes I truly feel lost, but getting encouragement like this makes these trips so much more worthwhile. Sorry for your loss❤️

Your connection to your family is so inspiring for someone so young! Very impressed! I promised I would follow you and all I can say, is keep on keeping on! We need more young people with your passion!
Hi Sandro, we chatted for a few minutes at Eagle Plains. I’m so happy you finished your journey and are safe. Be well and have a good rest of your Summer.
Sandro this is such an achievement! You should be proud! I know your father right at this very moment is proud of you. I’m happy for you and I am grateful for the new knowledge the adapter. I’m going to add that one to my collection. This will save me from the headache! Keep doing great things. I’m looking forward to more awesome content from you.
Love this, it really hit hard hearing you speak of your dad. Ive been to tuktayuktuk two years ago. I took mine with me and we had such a memorable experience. Keep pushing limits and hope nothing but the best for you. Also found you by your Reddit post ha :)
Interesting to see how abandod the arctic circle is in North America. In Scandinavia charging is not an issue inside the arctic circle even when towing a large camper trailer as I did last summer. There are CCS fast chargers at least 100km from one another.
@@humbertosrwong86 thanks for watching and sharing this with me, truly means the world to me! Plenty more roaming to come! :) any places you suggest I visit?
Freakin awesome man! Beautiful drive. Loved the story you out together here, your dad would be super proud. AH, i cant wait to get back to the Arctic 😂❤. Cheers Sandro !
Amazing journey- looking forward to a future where we can follow in your footsteps with slightly more charging along the road so we can have climate control and not have to worry about what devices are plugged into our Tesla. Thank you so much for leading the way and providing these amazing videos- the drone shots (I’m assuming) are breathtaking
The snowmobile are actually ridden through the whole year. The first nations will ride them over the tundra when they're out hunting or gathering berries. I was also perplexed by how they looked abandoned but I was fortunate enough to talk to a local couple when they were out gathering berries.
If you do such a crazy trip, take something like a little sol ark with solar panels. Get a splitt transformer so you can splitt a 110 phase into a splitt phase, each 110volt (110+110=220) and go in the grid input of the sol ark. Hook a battery to it as well if you want
This is great trail blazing... I plan to do this trip soon in my Tesla too do you mind posting all the specific adapters one would need to be 100% prepared for anything?
That 120v camp outlet probably wasn't working for the same reason it doesnt work directly with the ecoflow. Tesla evse checks for a ground and neutral bond, which is what your ground plug does. If you had plugged that ground adapter into another outlet in the same line it probably would have worked by doing the same thing
Hey I saw you in Eagle Plains on my way up!! So glad you made it up there! 🎉 to think that in another decade people will look back on the first people to do this and say “that was brave” or “I could’ve never done that” 😂!
Congratulations, I hope you do many more trips like this one! Also wondering how come you got the X and not a Y? (it would have been just a little more efficient on this trip for sure)
We are using the L14-30 for our everyDay charging at home, just can’t use the dryer pass 11pm when charging starts. I’m curious, why did u put a tape on the charging port?
This is awesome. Now I haven't camped with my Model Y but pro tip. if you're going to be camping or extreme camping like this then you need to buy every adapter known that is for the Tesla and have with you because you just never know. Do you have or consider getting window black out shades? Do you camp inside the Tesla with a bed etc? If so, have you considered an inflatable tent? They make some that attach to the back of the Tesla.
@@KineticEV go camping it’s awesome. Yes, all adapters have been bought now lol. I do have Ceramic Tent, special camping mattress and use curtains to sleep. Window black out shades showcase too much I think
Those 240V outlet , looks like an L6-50 , L14-30 type plug. You can buy an adapter later then use the NEMA adapter bundle. You like taking risk, I would bring a 240V generator if it's me. The Pole to Pole brought a generator to the N and S Pole. Quite an adventure.
Just discovered your trip video. Looking forward to more - subscribed. Delighted to see a Model X travel log - so many MY out there. (I drive an X.) Arctic Circle - wow. Hmm, encourages me to go for Hudson Bay one day. Would enjoy seeing a follow up video giving more details. Also, did I see a StarLink unit on board? How did that work for you??
Go to Tuk. You can actually camp at the Arctic Ocean! Starlink did great. It allowed me to do work and keep an eye on the car when it was charging. They had a promotional run!
You get about 300 miles, same as other gas vehicles. The only difference is that you have to wait days in some situations to get your fuel as to gas vehicles, 15 minutes top.
LOL with how expensive these cars are youd never catch me taking my Model 3 out there, let alone a Model X. Thanks for giving me inspiration, its on my bucket list to make this journey one day. Ill have to make the drive from southern Ontario. I've never seen the Ocean either, so I really do hope I'd manage this journey well and get there without hiccups. Heart touching story, I might consider taking my dad there with me (assuming whatever vehicle i take has enough space for us both). Actually if I ever stumble on the money I plan to make this journey in a camper van. My biggest fear is breaking down on the side of the road though. For food, did you carry it with you or did you stop at diners along the way for most of it?
@@Nabee_H for food. I had about 1 weeks supply of food that i stretched out by getting a few meals at Eagle Plains. Inuvik has a pretty big grocery store but it’s a bit pricey
Great video, great fun, or so. it seems. I understand why you did not take an internal combustion generator, but I would have expected you to take about 1 kW worth of solar panels, so electronics, external power banks, &c., could be simultaneously charged while your EV was charging from the grid. Did you do that and just not tell us? I was very interested in your clearing the ground fault by piping the electrons through one of your power banks. Will you tell us exactly what sort of power banks you had, including model numbers? I might have more adapters than you, but I have not driven to the Arctic Ocean. Did you use a dashboard holder for the videos while driving, or did your companion serve as a steadicam?
Great video! I saw your post on the Dempster fb page. When exactly did you make the trip? We were up there for the summer solstice two weeks ago (2024) It looks like they repaired the broken “Entering the Northwest Territoties” sign? Your father would be so proud and happy for you!

@@EverydaySandro I don’t think my face is kinder, I think there is something wrong with Canada. Belarus “cruel dictatorship”. Couple days ago, Belarus has opened its border(no visa needed)for the EU member countries, plus for EEA countries. Doesn’t matter, all the best mate.
Hitting the undercarriage on a porthole/rock risks potential battery damage, possible shut down. I suggest you only use "very low" ride height on good paved roads. I know, because I worked at Tesla service remanufacturing, saw the inside guts, results of many road damaged batteries. The low height is to get optimum aerodynamic efficiency at higher speeds. Your low speed on those gravel roads, aerodynamic of the vehicle body design was good enough. Your first charging fault might have been an outlet without proper grounding, or inconsistent quality line voltage/amperage. Especially because you stated their power was from a generator, which sometimes is not as stable as a grid service. Now you now know, add a few more power cable adapters to the frunk before the next eoad trip. What tires made that expedition? Without a flat or rim damage? Nice. Future, maybe Tesla adds a few supercharger stations with Megapack support.
Hey Clark! Thanks for this thorough response, as you are so right! The generator are a life-line in Eagle Plains, but grounding was definitely an issue. The tires and rim set that I use is from T-Sportline - bit.ly/tsportlineeverydaysandro After almost 40K miles, they are still holding create thread, and no curb rash or rock damage! Safe travels, Sandro

Are you going to run into this issue again on the way back down or are you able to get the adapter in Inuvik?
@@Luciferian56 ran into the same issue on my way down. Edited the video and did some errands while I waited to charge lol
Watch out with the tt-30, make sure it’s EV rated most won’t work due to the same ground fault you experienced with the 110v outlet.
Ilove u sandro... Keep safe💙

Are you from another country, what's with the kilometers?

I think that if you brought a generator and some extra fuel, that would be a solution to charging the Model X
but thats the last resort if you didnt have anywhere else to plug in.
Indeed, but it defeats the purpose of traveling into remote areas
Hitting the undercarriage on a porthole/rock risks potential battery damage, possible shut down. I suggest you only use "very low" ride height on good paved roads.
I know, because I worked at Tesla service remanufacturing, saw the inside guts, results of many road damaged batteries.
The low height is to get optimum aerodynamic efficiency at higher speeds.
Your low speed on those gravel roads, aerodynamic of the vehicle body design was good enough.
Your first charging fault might have been an outlet without proper grounding, or inconsistent quality line voltage/amperage. Especially because you stated their power was from a generator, which sometimes is not as stable as a grid service.
Now you now know, add a few more power cable adapters to the frunk before the next eoad trip.
What tires made that expedition? Without a flat or rim damage? Nice.
Future, maybe Tesla adds a few supercharger stations with Megapack support.
Hey Clark! Thanks for this thorough response, as you are so right! The generator are a life-line in Eagle Plains, but grounding was definitely an issue.
The tires and rim set that I use is from T-Sportline - bit.ly/tsportlineeverydaysandro
After almost 40K miles, they are still holding create thread, and no curb rash or rock damage! Safe travels, Sandro
@@EverydaySandro what year is your Model X? How many miles?
