Bolivia is a landlocked country – one of the few in the world – nestled in the Andes, where rugged terrain makes delivering healthcare to remote communities a massive challenge. Enter my favorite truck: the Cybertruck!
I’m not alone in my obsession. Friends of mine drive theirs daily, and thanks to Tesla’s generous demo-drive program I’ve been behind the wheel many times myself (still waiting for mine to arrive).
The Cybertruck is a game-changer for towing mobile clinics to underserved villages – literal lifesavers on wheels. On December 5, Universidad de Aquino Bolivia (UDABOL) unveiled a stunning fleet of twelve angular, cold-rolled-steel beasts, and the news exploded across Spanish-language media. I only found out today thanks to a post from @iliketeslas.
These dozen Cybertrucks will tow AI-equipped mobile clinics as part of UDABOL’s pioneering Misión Sanitaria Académica Internacional 2026. Huge credit goes to UDABOL president Martín Dockweiler – an undeniably cool guy – and the Teleton foundation for their long-standing partnership in pediatric and rehabilitative care. The project is fully approved by the Bolivian government and has the backing of consulates from Peru, Chile, Brazil, and Paraguay. It’s a university-led initiative that will deliver surgeries, diagnostics, and consultations to more than 200,000 patients in remote and cross-border areas.
Of course the Cybertruck obliterates traditional combustion trucks here. The electric drivetrain conquers Bolivia’s brutal terrain, the battery can charge from solar arrays or any village grid, and there’s no oil to change, no finicky engine to maintain. Regenerative braking means the brakes last practically forever. Steer-by-wire makes it ridiculously easy to drive – if I can do it, anyone can.
Each Cybertruck can supply at least 11.5 kW of power to the clinics for medical equipment and lighting. The silence is golden (I still remember the eerie quiet at a Tesla fair last Halloween when food trucks and music stages were all powered by Cybertrucks).
Congrats to UDABOL, Teleton, Martín Dockweiler, and the entire team for knowing how to rock while saving lives. Elon Musk’s tools + Bolivian ingenuity = a combo that makes me want to book a flight tomorrow. Who wouldn’t want to see Cybertrucks towing operating rooms into the jaw-dropping Andes, saving lives one stainless-steel triangle at a time?
