The trip will start June 29. He will have to replenish his AdBlue at least once during the trip, which is roughly 16,000 miles.

That's a long journey. It would be more intersting to take it slower and explore the places along the way.

Veyron,

If you put it what's the point of sightseeing at all?

I love the power and economy this suv gets, too bad it isn't off road worthy like a jeep Rubicon or a Ford Raptor, I would love it if it came with 35inch tires on 17inch rims with dramatically improved wheel travel, then I would run out and buy one, Unfortunately it will never happen. Jeep has a good package with a lousy engine and this has a lousy off road package with a great engine, you just can't win if you want something off road worthy that is efficient like this, very frustrating.
