THE MISSION

The revolution: you feel it…deciding to live it, or simply accept it.
We’ll do more. We’ll ride it, describing it moment by moment, making it real. With a unique challenge.
Driving from Rome-North Cape and North Cape-Venice on board of a Tesla Model S, with zero emission, without a drop of fossil fuel and at no cost, thanks to the Tesla Supercharger network.

We want to show that electric mobility is already an amazing reality. We will explain the enormous importance of the ongoing revolution by demonstrating that you can take long trips with an electric vehicle without difficulty, by replacing fossil fuels with electric motors. We will inform about the environmental and economic unsustainability of fossil fuels mobility and the sustainability of electric mobility, which does not destroy the air of which we live, that does not pollute the waters essential for our planet.

It will be a journey made not only of miles, but of ideas useful to build a better future for ourselves and the generations to come. A future we want to help to change supporting those of us who share a vision of growth and sharing. That’s why we decided to focus our mission also on raising money for a unique initiative that aims to use technology to help others. We are talking about the Open BioMedical Initiative, a non profit organization whose volunteers collaborate and work to develop health and accessibility aids thanks to the Internet and 3D printing, helping anyone, anywhere in the world.

The Open BioMedical Initiative has developed three specific projects, the artificial hands WIL and FABLE and the incubator BOB to save the lives of premature babies in developing countries.
We need your support, a small donation, because help is a common mission, to realize together on the same planet we live on, here and now.

THE JOURNEY

THE DEPARTURE

We will start from Rome, the symbolic city of history and of an important era. Like the one already inaugurated by Tesla, towards a sustainable and electric mobility. The starting point will be St. Peter’s Square, where the mission will officially begin

THE ARRIVAL

We will arrive at North Cape, Norway’s farthest north cliff, in the Magerøya Island on the Arctic Ocean. North Cape is not “only” known for the midnight sun, but also to be an exceptional travel destination, main goal of several challenges similar to that we will do on board of a Tesla.

A journey eight days long, ten thousand kilometers on board of a Tesla Model S at no cost using the Tesla Supercharger power grid. It starts from Rome on 8th July 2016 from St. Peter’s Square, the return is scheduled for July 16th in Venice.

NIKOLA TESLA

  • “Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.”

    NIKOLA TESLA

  • “I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success… such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.”

    NIKOLA TESLA

  • “The human being is a self-propelled automaton entirely under the control of external influences. Willful and predetermined though they appear, his actions are governed not from within, but from without. He is like a float tossed about by the waves of a turbulent sea.”

    NIKOLA TESLA

WHO WE ARE

The expedition team consists of five people with skills and interests strongly linked to technological innovation, to progress, to the future. People eager to not only be an active part of the coming change but first of all authors of that. A change that will be written into textbooks.
