...only a few days to go defending our title: The link changed to Germany 24h 2019 - eco Grand Prix

Dear all, good news! I am driving again around the world with the same Tesla Roadster! This will be my third time driving electric after 2012 with the Tesla Roadster, 2016 with the Tesla Model S and now again with the Tesla Roadster! I will be in Austalia on my birthday and I would like to...

In May of 2012, the longest standard electric car journey to circumvent the globe in 80 days began, with Tesla Roadster, VIN 507. Rafael de Mestre, the first person who travelled around the world with an electric car, will be touring the United States with his iconic Tesla Roadster...

Hey! There is enough energy to charge the battery. Solar panels and a wind generator are installed ;)

Hi community, 😊 We are inviting you to meet the historical Tesla Roadster which travelled around the world in 2012 and now it is ⛵ shipped to Florida via a sailing ship. The historical event will happen at Port Everglades when the AVONTUUR ship with our Tesla Roadster will arrive. This is the...

Dear Tesla fans and friends, some of you may have heard about #80edays, the world circumnavigation Tesla trips I organized so far in 2012 and 2016. Next year I am planning to drive again around the world and I am having some preparation work to do. All started 2012 with my Tesla Roadster...

Good to hear someone is caring about it. I didn't post it but my P85+ LOST 30 miles (50 km) of RANGE after being at the Service Center. Battery is having only 110.000km means 68.350 miles old and having a range of 196 miles on a full charge (316km) I assume Tesla did the software update...

Dear EV fans, next edition of the "around the world in 80 days" epic rally is coming soon. As you might know the first production car going around the world was a Tesla Roadster 2012 beating a French team wanting to be first with a Citroen C-Zero. 2016 we went around the world with 11...

Yep, just a lack of communication. I've been circumnavigating the the world twice first with the Roadster then with the Model S: www.80edays.com and not logging in this often to the forum due to lack of time ;) Already driven more than 200.000 miles crossing 32 nations of this world without any...

Cosmacelf, that Roadsters won't be able to charge on Superchargers and Destination chargers is not an error, it was communicated by Elon Musk in 2013 at a presentation I was taking part. If you would have a company selling 2500 units and then 400.000, would you invest money to support the...

Sorry to say but the roadster is simply not sending a signal to the destination charger therefore you can't charge there if it is a destination charger restricted for Tesla. There are old destination chargers and some "free for every EV" destination chargers a Roadster can charge. They are not...

And here the answer to all your questions. We got awesome support by Henry Sharp and learned our lessons on our last edition of 80edays going around the world with electric cars - well 1 Roadster, 8 Model S and two others - (check www.80edays.com for details). There are two types of destination...

Sorry for not following the thread during the drive ... organizing 80edays took all of my hours of the day. Resumé: You can charge Teslas also in Kazakhstan. US and EU versions went around the world and we arrived all like planned after 80 days in Barcelona on 4.9.2016. One special comment...

Dear EV fans, we need help from you to cross US. 80edays plans to cross US in 25.6.-7.7.2016 with 12 teams but EU Model S have no charge ability to use Superchargers in US. They can use three phase or ChaDeMo. Roadsters are pretty good equipped with the ability to charge on single phase with...

There is no human being who did around the world with an electric car in 80days. I am the first one who did it in a standard electric car and I did it 2012 in 127 days with a Tesla Roadster. So going around the world with 12 international teams and a lot of press will move people to believe in...

George Blankenship - always taking time for customers if you need him. Don't know how he manages it with this huge amount of tasks he has during the day. The surprise party I will never forget in my life. Thank you for the unique moments! Rafael and KIT

Hiho, my EU Tesla has the amber lights ;) Greetings from Hollywood (the first around the world electric car race - 80 electric days - world round trip) Rafael

Hey outsider, you must be an insider to have the Model S key as avatar ;)

If there would be no car but the Tesla Roadster, I would buy a Renault Kangoo electric for transporting things in the city.

I'm in LA at Hermosa Beach ready to come to a meeting if you want ;)

Aaaargh! on 6/22 i will be already in Chinaaaaa --- grlmpf :((( Running around the world with Tesla Roadster #507: the first around the world electric car race - 80 electric days - world round trip

Hi dear Tesla owners, I'm in LA for some days. I would like to meet as much as possible of you. You can contact me via phone at 773 558 4192. CU Rafael

Yeah, I'll owe you two ;) I'm a little upset that no Tesla driver came to NY to shake hands :( Well I will be here for some hours more, maybe someone will come ;) CU Rafael

Hi there, I'm searching for an update for the Roadster 2.5 Navigation System. I need a US and Chine map for Alpine IVA W520R navigation system

Hi Peter, I'm in NY now charging at Tesla store :) Hope Press contacts me ;) CU Rafael

Hi mark, please try to call me on Skype over tron002, I'm nearly always online.

This kind of "shipping excl." it's a liitle bit messing around. I heared of many "80 days around the world" trips, but in my eyes only the total time is the time which is meant by "around the world", everything included, otherwise it's not around the world but just 80 days driving time. So my...

yes I have to, only Europe is covered by the Swiss insurance company I have.

Hi Mark, yes there will be videos, but driving this fast I do I don't find the time to upload them. First priority is to find an insurance company, which gives me a coverage for US ...

Hello together, I would like to know the insurances, where your Teslas are insured. It would be nice to know, if these insurances also insure German company Teslas driving through US. I need this infomation urgently - it's a show stopper for the first around the world electric car race - 80...

HELP! All German insurances denied to insure the Tesla for US! That's a show stopper! Who knows an insurance, who does insure a German Company Tesla?

not a good idea to import due to the fact, that European Model S will have 3 phase charging an Europeans never have time to wait for charging ;) Biggest argument for sale is the 45 Minutes charging time with three phase.

Standard Charger The companies Audi, BMW, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Porsche, Volkswagen and Chrysler present a standard charger for their electric cars. The question is open if the other brands will also accept this as standard. The most important electric car brands like Renault, Toyota...

Hello together, I have to overtake a Citroen C Zero driving around the world: the first around the world electric car race - 80 electric days - world round trip Therefore I will need help form Tesla owners along the route 80 from NY to SF and then LA to give me a fast charge on their HPC If...
