The Cuban actor Alejandro Cuervo has once again captured the attention of his followers by sharing on Instagram a quick getaway with his wife Arletis Rodríguez, heading to the Vista Azul hotel in Varadero. This one-day mini honeymoon, without children, was accompanied by a very particular test: the autonomy test of his new electric car.
"We went out to test the electric car and its autonomy, and we lost track of time," Alejandro wrote in the post, where he is seen behind the wheel of the FAW Bestune NAT E5, a Chinese-made electric vehicle distributed in Cuba by the company MCV Comercial S.A. and priced at over 20 thousand dollars.
Although the car was a surprise gift for his wife, as he showed in a previous video that generated a lot of buzz, this time it was his turn to drive it to the beach resort.
“We deserve it,” she commented as she finished the video while showing the spectacular sea view from the hotel room.
The actor has received both congratulations and criticism since sharing the video in which he surprises Arletis. Some users have expressed skepticism about the practicality of the car in the Cuban context, asking: how does one charge an electric car with the frequent blackouts?
Despite the doubts and mixed comments, the couple took advantage of their brief trip to disconnect, celebrate love, and, in the process, continue creating content that does not go unnoticed, such as their promotion of the joint venture MCV Comercial S.A., the official representative of Mercedes-Benz in Cuba.
