Crossing the U.S. in My DIY Tesla Van — Day 1: Broke Down

Day 1 of a cross-country U.S. road trip in a custom-built, Tesla-powered DIY van hits an immediate snag when an unexpected breakdown threatens to end the adventure before it begins. This episode takes viewers behind the scenes of the one-of-a-kind electric van build, covering the months of engineering and preparation that went into it, the excitement of finally hitting the open road, and the raw, unfiltered reality of troubleshooting a complex DIY vehicle on the fly. From diagnosing the mechanical issue to improvising solutions in real time, every setback becomes part of the story — one driven as much by perseverance and problem-solving as by the desire to travel coast to coast. Watch to find out what caused the breakdown, how it was handled, and whether the journey manages to push forward into Day 2. #DIYTeslaVan #VanLife #ElectricVehicle #CrossCountryRoadTrip #TravelVlog #Lykstage #LykstageVideo #LykstageCreator #LykstageCommunity
