You may find the troubles they run into with electrical Infrastructure enlightening.

I did enjoy there trip soo much! Was nice to see south america again.
I like the idea of overlanding with a Tesla. Actually, today - it just need much of the most valuable what we humans have: time..
We are private guys and no one will send a Truck with a big diesel generator to remote places to give use a charge - like showed in "long way up".
Solar Power is available on good weather, most of use dont can wait severall days till they can progress.
Probably we are too early today - and this is the best overlanding solution in 12years, when the world overpopulation brings charging stations too in "no longer" remote places.
Today - it is possible for rich people (with enough time) - to even use an electric vehicle for overlanding purpose.

LWU was pure Hollywood from start to finish.
We were shown what the sponsors wanted us to see.
Am I jealous of them? Hell, yes!
But do I believe it?
No more than I believe all the myriad of Youtube 'stars' like Itchyboots etc.
Sure, they are out there doing it, but with a band of acolytes behind the scenes doing all the fixing.
All this hype of pretty girls and boys on their RTW trips bears about as much relevance to the real world as any other blockbuster movie does.
Curmudgeonly rant over.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
