A YouTuber risked taking his Tesla through a 2-day dead zone during a road trip to Alaska

• YouTuber Sandro van Kuijck took his Model X on a road trip to Alaska.

• Van Kuijck drove through a 320-mile stretch without public chargers or cell service.

• The YouTuber has been living in his Tesla and traveling cross-country for a year.

A YouTuber took his Tesla on a road trip to Alaska through a 320-mile stretch of remote highway.

While some EV owners have shared horror stories about taking an electric car on a long road trip, Sandro van Kuijck, a YouTuber who has lived in his Tesla for the past year, has taken his EV into 49 different US states and told Business Insider he rarely experiences range anxiety.

The YouTuber said he decided to put his Model X to the ultimate test by taking it to one of the most remote areas in the US.

"I wanted to show you can take an EV anywhere," van Kuijck said.

Despite his experience with traveling with an EV, van Kuijck said his trip wasn't without some hiccups.

During his 9-day roundtrip from Oregon to Alaska, van Kuijck said he had to be wary of the range on his Model X, especially when he took the EV through a dead zone — about a 320-mile stretch of the Alcan Highway — where van Kuijck said he lost cell service and was unable to find a public charger.

"You should be able to make it with Model X range, but because the elevation changes are significant, you will not be able to make it even if the car tells you you can," van Kuijck said. "If you don't plan ahead you could potentially be stuck."

The Model X has an advertised range of about 348 miles, according to Tesla's website. But any number of factor can cause the range to drop, including extreme temperatures.
