Hi all, this will be a slightly unconvetional topic than most in this forum, but it is going to be carried out in my Cybertruck, so hopefully it is still appropriate. Please let me know if it is not, and if you want, please feel free to share the story to your friends and community, share with me travel tips, places to visit, and anything you want to leave a comment for my son and kids like him.

This is a post I shared on the past Father's day on my facebook page. The original post is here, but I am resposting it below:

It is about my amazing son, Max.

Back in 2019, our world was turned upside down when Max was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, also known as DMD. It’s a rare and relentless genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle loss in boys. It’s a reality we face every single day, but it’s nothing compared to the strength and light Max brings into our lives.

He is always happy and uplifting waking up to the light of a new day, braves unexpected pain in his legs while he plays with his buddies, and never complains about his countless visits to doctors, exams, and blood-draws for tests.

In addition to having a warrior at home, we've also found so much hope through incredible non-profit organizations that reach out to many families like ours with love, compassion and comfort. CureDuchenne is one such organization. They're on the front lines, funding groundbreaking research and providing crucial resources to families like ours, giving us powerful reasons to believe in a brighter future for boys like Max.

That's why we're doing something bold in return to this wonderful community! To honor Max’s strength and to support the organization that has given us so much, we're embarking on a 4,500-mile road trip across large parts of western U.S.

Driving Miles, Driving Change!

We will do this in our all electric Cybertruck—for us, it’s a symbol of the innovation, future, and strength we are fighting for!

We will visit many national parks, landmarks along the way, but also meet other boys and families living with Duchenne when possible. This journey is about creating unforgettable memories together and fighting back DMD by raising funds for CureDuchenne to support more families like us.

Watching Max face his daily challenges with a smile has taught me more about courage than I ever thought possible. This road trip is a celebration of his spirit and a promise to him that we will never stop fighting for a future free from Duchenne. Max will document and share about his trip in his youtube channel (www.youtube.com/@OdysseyofMaximus) along the way, and we will keep updating our trip in my facebook, instagram and other social media that can help to spread the story and raise awareness to this wonderful and brave community of people living with Duchenne.
We would be so grateful for your support. Every single dollar brings us closer to a cure.

Safe journey, and hopefully you'll be able to capture some nice images and video to reflect on with Max and also share with us!

Thank you all!

With the help of his electric scooter, Max had a great time in Zion National Park today!

On our way to Rocky Mountain National Park the next two days.

One thing I found out about my Cynbertruck:

Las night I checked the miles and total electricity charge (mostly on supercharge at average $0.45/KWh in CA and NV).

So far,

Ran 768 miles
electricity cost $169
average $0.22/mile

At a equivalnt of 23 MPG for CA gas price at $5/gallon, or 16 MPG for NV gas price at $3.5

Not sure if I am saving money by driving eletric compare to a gas engine truck (never had one before), but surely still happy to know it is emission free, almost.

I just did 1850 miles in UT-AZ. I spent $286.42 in Supercharging roundtrip. (This does not include the 100% at home charge on the first leg, just out of pocket SC costs, 14 stops according to my history). If we had taken our 2014 Dodge Ram 1500, it would have been ~$330 ish in fuel, using 18mpg metric). I was driving in Chill, with low lift and I kept my foot out of it. I have a Cyberbeast. I stupidly forgot to set a trip meter for this trip specifically.

I hope the charging gets cheaper for you.

That is an awesome adventure and well deserved. Priceless.

Yes, the driving (or seating experiences) is excellent. I have been using FSD almost all the time, barely touch either accelerator or brake...just talk with Max, listening to music and podcasts, and enjoy the view!!

Yes, we did mostly FSD and it was like watching a movie being able to enjoy the scenery (as allowed by driver monitoring haha). I picked music to complement the canyonlands and deserts. We cannonballed the drive home (670 miles) on FSD (+12 hours) and we were not exhausted at all rolling in. What a gift FSD is for enjoying roadtrips, I noticed the usual grumpiness of the grind of a long drive did not occur.
