Tesla Model X Stranded in the Atacama Desert: Solar Panels to the Rescue on the Pan-American Highway Adventure

Imagine cruising through the world’s driest desert in a fully electric Tesla Model X, with nothing but endless sand, scorching sun, and a ticking battery clock. This is exactly what happened to YouTuber Sandro van Kuijck during his audacious solo expedition along the Pan-American Highway—from the icy shores of Tuktoyaktuk, Canada, to the windswept tip of Ushuaia, Argentina. By the time he hit Chile (country #14 on his route), his modified Tesla Model X, affectionately named “Beluga,” ran critically low on juice in the Atacama Desert. What followed was a masterclass in EV improvisation, highlighting both the vulnerabilities and triumphs of electric overlanding in remote regions.

Tesla’s Monumental $4.3 Billion Battery Deal with LG Energy Solution: Powering Megapack 3 with American-Made LFP Cells

In a groundbreaking announcement today, the U.S. Department of the Interior has officially confirmed Tesla as the key stakeholder in LG Energy Solution’s (LGES) massive $4.3 billion battery supply agreement. This deal not only solidifies Tesla’s push towards domestic manufacturing but also marks a pivotal shift in the global energy storage landscape, with production kicking off in 2027 at LGES’s Lansing, Michigan facility. As a seasoned blogger specializing in electric vehicles, battery technology, and renewable energy infrastructure, I’ve been tracking Tesla’s supply chain evolution for years. This partnership is more than just a procurement contract—it’s a strategic masterstroke that could reshape U.S. energy independence, lower costs for grid-scale storage, and give Tesla a competitive edge over rivals scrambling to catch up.
