He's Traveled 3,000 Miles in a Model 3 - Meet the Epic Tesla Explorer!

Ep. 10

After a chance meeting at the Tesla Owner's Meeting in May 2023 , I sit down with Nobu, (AKA Kagonma) the guy who drove from the most southern island of Japan to Tokyo in a standard range Tesla Model 3, and his journey isn't even over yet! This guy is my idol, he's already done what I dreamt of doing on this channel!
