We'll see. My truck is still in the shop. They estimated $876 to repair, and said it'll be done today by 6pm.

9,963 miles in 37 days. Charging costs came to $0.14/mile.

What's interesting is that the tonneau cover would open without issue, but closing was a problem. At Watson Lake, I was able to close the tonneau by pressing the close button multiple times. Each press closed the tonneau about one slat's width. When I got home, at tried opening the cover. It...

I can see how that could happen. My Cybertruck handled the rough road conditions surprisingly well, but I wasn't prepared to deal with the dust.

What do you mean by "over there"?

I brought my Cybertruck into Tesla Service today because my tonneau cover wouldn't close. I had recently taken an overland trip to the Arctic Ocean on the Dempster Hwy, a 1000 mile trip on gravel roads from Dawson City, YT to Tuktoyaktuk, NT and back. The dust kicked up by my truck and that...

More edge cases handled with 14. It will take weeks to notice the improvement.

Trip Wrap up Our overland trip to Alaska (Anchorage and Seward) and the Arctic Ocean (Tuktoyaktuk, NT) was quite an undertaking. I underestimated the challenges and overestimated the rewards of taking this 9,963 mile journey despite months of research and planning. The positives are highlighted...

About 150 lbs. Much less than the 520 lb working load limit.

It's under 600 lbs with the 172 lb bed rack, 100 lb spare tire, 200 lb solar system, and 80 lb tent. I used the mini tighteners to take slack out of the chains after hooking to the molle panels. That way, when reinstalling the bed rack, it's at a height that matches the truck's sails when the...

Seems so. They're everywhere.

It's a mini load binder to tighten the chains after attaching to the molle panels. I could have used a simple hook.

Yes, back home safely. I'll be posting a wrap up summary of the trip in the next couple of days.

Thanks. My CT looked rather 'nude' without the bed rack. ;)

August 30, 2025 We plugged the truck into the 50 kW Flo charger at the Visitor Information Center in Dawson City pulling 42 kW. It would take 2 hours to charge to 80%, so we decided to get some breakfast at Sourdough Joe’s. The restaurant was closed (for good?), so we walked to Riverwest...

Tesla will not replace the gant rails (Tesla recall) with the Urander bed rack installed on my Cybertruck. I built an overhead frame in my garage a while back to support the bedrack, rooftop tent, spare tire, and solar panel so that it can be removed from the truck without disassembly. The...

August 31, 2025 We arrived in Tuktoyaktuk on August 28th after driving 97 miles from Arctic Char Suites where we added enough charge to ensure that we could return to Inuvik if unable to charge the truck in Tuktoyaktuk. In fact, there are two chargers in Tuk, one is at Kitti Hall which is free...

That's why I carry two magnetic side view mirrors with me at all times. If stopped, I'm hoping that attaching the mirrors and explaining that I removed the factory mirrors to prevent them from being damaged while traveling off-road will satisfy the officer.

We did it! We were welcomed by a Canadian policeman (RMCP) who was told of our plans to travel north to Tuktoyaktuk by a nice Canadian Fisheries officer that we met in Fort Mcpherson. I guess they were concerned about the safety of two old ladies venturing as far north as roads can take you...

He didn't strike me as someone capable of setting that up.
