The Tesla Model X owner also had to apply some changes to his all-electric SUV for their journey to Mount Everest.
Tesla China boasts that the Supercharger network of the renowned EV maker owned by Elon Musk helped make the over 1,500-mile journey possible. It is thanks to the wide network of Superchargers in the Chinese territory, which is around 8,700 in total, reaching even far-flung remote areas.
Tesla EVs and Mount Everest Base Camp
According to a recent report by Teslarati, the two Tesla owners faced a couple of challenges as they attempted to reach the base camp of Mount Everest.
The Chinese vlogger says that they had to go through traffic jams along the way. Not to mention that they had to go through the landslides in the Jinsha River, making it more difficult.
And as the 1,500-mile road trip lasted for a few days, they had to sleep in the car as well, which was made better thanks to the Camp Mode of Tesla.
