Tesla vs Iceland's Mountain Passes — Will the Battery Survive? | Ep.3

The final leg of 30 days solo camping across Iceland in a Tesla with a Wheelhome Dashaway roof camper. Could the Tesla handle Iceland's mountain passes on gravel roads — and what happened to the range?
Episode 3 heads east from Akureyri to Lake Mývatn, up and around the rim of Hverfjall volcano, then over the Hellisheiði mountains on route 917 to test the Tesla's range on a serious climb. The results might surprise you. From there, the Öxi and Mjóafjörðarheiði passes, a stunning coastal road to Bakkagerði, close-up puffins, and finally the ferry home — with an unexpected military helicopter encounter to end the trip.
