Bjørn, you are THE authority, when it comes to EVs. If it wasn't for you back then more then 10 years ago when you bought Millennium Falcon, I would have never gotten into EVs .. and drowned a buch of people into it alongside ;). Don't let yourself be dragged down by some jealous idiots. I've watched & enjoyed almost every single video of yours for the past 10+ years. Stay true to your self - the income and reward will come! .. A random German fan
@@Matthias_Fischer With people like @Matthias_Fischer we would still have no car headrests, no seat belts, no halogen headlights, no ABS system, no emissions control and much more. This is all standard today and can no longer be imagined without it. The negative opinions and nonsensical discussions from back then no longer interest anyone today. Those who are forever old don't realize that they have long since been overtaken by modern EV technology. Even if people don't believe it - don't want to... Nobody knows this better than Björn Nyland.
Love to hear Bjorn whuile working, it is like radio, but listening to a humble but knowlegable friend.
Bought my first EV recently because your rigorously collected data!
Well done! And thanks!
And btw, you really made it when you get enough haters so be proud!
i love your nimber videos back in the day. love the adventure and the beautiful scene you drove past.
2013, that was the time I started watching your channel. I was impressed in two ways. The beautiful Norwegian landscape, escially in winter. And the Model S which was like a car from another star. It really was a nice time. You mentioned another guy your videos back than: Jorgen Winter Larsen. Why was this lost over the years? It would be really nice to see him again with you.
same.
to my 'wify' Bjorn is known as "oh, the chinese guy" :)
@@AlexBoneff great memories in deed. I fear that will never happen again. It is now nearly an old topic. Maybe this will be a problem for Bjorns channel as well.
He moved to Larvik.
I think Bjorn could start his own radio show. A very interesting story, great stuff 💯
Interesting to hear how you got to where you are. Might be inspiring to some (young) people? Well done and way to go
Bjorn you do not have to explain. No worries. Keep moving forward.
Note: I do not have an EV or have an intend to buy one. Maybe makes my support a bit more powerfull for you to continue with what you do. Keep moving forward. One day at a time.
Bjorn thank you for sharing your story. You are a wonderful Tesla resource and person. Dont worry about the haters, just keep being you!
I got my first EV in 2013 and have followed you from the start. It has been the best EV content and helped me get a greater insight in every EV option there is trough the years.
Yes, it is indeed a hard time for many but keep on moving forward and dont mind the ones that want you to fail.
Hey Bjorn,
I really enjoyed hearing your "becoming TeslaBjorn" story. I mostly watch and listen to your videos and 4K podcasts during my daily commute from Aachen (Germany) to Heerlen (the Netherlands), which is about a 15-minute drive. I've been doing this for three years with my Tesla Model 3.
It's such a nice detail that it feels like you're my copilot on my daily route to work. 😍☺️ Thank you for making the videos you do-they were also a big inspiration for me to buy my Tesla in 2021.
Best regards, Chris
Thanks
don't listen to haters! They are just envy of your life since they haven't come further themselves. Best regards from one of your neighbors på Jessheim
As a previous owner of Renault Laguna II 1.9 dci, I can relate to your story 😊.
Thank you Bjorn for sharing all these insights! It is so understandable now how the pieces of the puzzle came togehter and you came to where you are now! Great work!
Just amazing. Thank you Bjorn
The first TeslsBjorn video I watched was the winter Offroad drive where you damaged Optimus Prime. I am a keen Offroad driver with various Land Rovers and Range Rovers over the years and I searched TH-cam for off-roading in an EV as I want a proper electric off-roader. Watching your EV testing persuaded me to venture into a full BEV in 2021 after a poor experience with a PHEV. I bought a Mini Cooper S E that really suited me for 99% of my motoring and meant I wasn’t going shopping in town in a big diesel 4x4 off roader. Now I’m on my 2nd EV that has enough range to do decent length road trips - the new Mini Countryman S E Sport and it’s now relegated the Defender to being a driveway queen! The 65kWh battery is actually way bigger than I require for my normal driving but it’s great to have the capability to make a 230 mile journey if I want without using a big huge 4x4.
I watch most (not all) of your videos - even the ones that don’t get many views! I do prefer the driving videos to your family videos that I have to admit that don’t often watch. Keep up the great work.
The videos and information you provide are interesting with outstanding details on actual use of many electric vehicles. You are my main, go to source, for accurate information for what I may be interested in owning.
MC hammer videos where great and helped me know what I was getting into with my 2021 M3P.
Good of you to defend your wife's point of view. Those were some nasty comments. Keep up the positivity and don't give up on your dreams. We all have one life to live. Live it the way you want. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy your videos and content. Especially these type of videos.
Alternative title: "Bjørn's confession: a life long abuse of batteries!" 😀
The curse of our hobbies 🤣. I'm very similar where I'd play video games, buy electronics and now cars that devalue at huge rate.
People saying your wife "doesn't work" simply don't understand. Taking good care of children is a full time job in itself. UK actually counts pension credit for one full time mother/father until child is 16 years old.
In my view, your consistent independence and your knowledge in EV's are hugely useful for everyone. What is life without taking calculated risks, and sounds like you've pulled through all previous risks through hard work and dedication. Please do keep going. 👍
The tug of war with that hummer got me into this channel.
Great story Bjorn. Thanks for sharing it. You've done so well for yourself, well done. Luv the vids
2001, the golden age for network admins
Thanks!
Lotus Notes, this is indeed some old sheeeeeeeeet !
it still exists - it's called HCL Notes now
Pools are excellent investment especially in areas where there aren't many . I've seen houses with pools, even in 2024, sell in record time. New cars on the other hand are a terrible investment yet countless people will defend them to no end .
Thanks for all your videos and dedication
That is between you and your wife, how you split your responsibilities, and people who do not know you should refrain from judging. She is taking care of your kids, home, etc. even if she "doesn't work".
Miss the days (years ago now) when the camera view showed the instrument cluster and ev touch screen to tell what ev is being ridden . Years ago switched to just the hood . 1.3 hours of a hood
If you examined the expenses of all of the viewers of this video, I think you'd find that everyone spends their money on frivolous stuff at times. If all you do is pay the bills, life is boring. Sometimes you've got to blow a bunch of money on something silly because it brings you some happiness. After all, you can't take it with you at the end.
Anyway, I don't necessarily agree with how Bjorn spends his money, but then again - it's his money. He can spend it however he wants.
Thank you for sharing the channel history
Ebike is the faster one goes to 45 kmh, Pedelec only 25 the US versions going slightly over 30 kmh. headwinds are no longer a problem and sweat to much in summer also.
drivetime to work is no longe depending on fuu headwinds.
i use my bike with a trailer for my dog a long time now without i use it for other stuff very useful.
in 11 years i have driven 45000 km now i need a new one, Bionx is not possible to repear.
I took a job 150 km from my place and decided to stay where I am. Multiple reasons but I decided to burn up vehicles and mitigate as I could even though a physical presence is necessary most of the time for my job. I've settled on 3 days a week but that means about 50,000 km on some vehicle per year. I've gone through a couple vehicles over the last decade doing this but recently decided to buy an EV just to have some fun and save some life for my utility acreage fossil vehicle. These decisions and circumstances are complicated and personal and I think it is best when you can mix work and pleasure at least some of the time. I am having fun with my EV burning it up on my commute. I got 'Car Scanner' to go with a FOB to learn what took a lifetime with a fossil car in months with my EV, thanks to you really. I really love Valdemar's Garage and getting a glimpse into what the EV ecosystem will look like here in 10 years. Keep up the good work and stay awesome!!! You are a ray of light in my fossil bubble ... yeah, my utility vehicle does 'roll coal' on a quick take off once in a while ... lol. But on average ...
Stay with her to the end. That is commitment!
Oh yes tried to migrate mailboxes from lotus domino to MS exchange way back when 😃👍
Bjorn I've been watching you for at least 7 years as I waited 3 years and owned my model 3 since the first week in UK 4.5 years ago, you were my research. 8.5k in 7 years watched your Optimus delivery date... 13k in the past hour watched this video. I watched Nimbers and probably more hours watching you than walking our dog...sorry dog. I've been in IT, lotus notes and windows NT, Novell and all that. Will meet you one day, you do you
Like being on a roadtrip with you, looking at the roads and listening to your life story. Awesome! While I prefer your car videos over your real life soap episodes, this was quite interesting. Thanks!
I hope in the future you show charging curves for all cars that you review. Because 250kW max charge is nice but if it tapers of to 50kW at 20% soc the result is still shiiiiit
Love the tech background, feels almost the same. The tech in your videos is really important. Not those tyre kickers
Førstekonsulent = Senior consultant
(Btw Bjørn, I think I met you at an UNINETT conference, when you worked at UiO)
I get it Bjorn but don't feed the trolls. You want to make your wife happy and if a bag or two makes her happy, do that. My wife is no different. She is a professional and she works but we don't spend what we cannot afford. But if she wants a car, we get what we can afford. Period. Same for you. Don't feed the trolls. Anyway, thanks for the video and live your best life man.
The problem isnt giving his wife a bag or two, its that they literally cannot afford a $1.4m house on his salary alone, which means either sell at a loss, or she actually have to start working as well, the norm is two persons contributing to the household.
Nice story, you went for it💪
You are early Tesla adopter. Should have bought TSLA stock during those early time.
The company I work at has still one last remaining thing in Lotus Notes 😆
We are finally getting rid of it this summer. Only took 10 years
Thanks for a great story. I did not know much about the early years. Inspiring to see that evertyhing is possible if you put the mind in to it. I have learned a lot from watching probably 500-1000 hours of your videoes. (how many hours do you totally have on your channel?)
Thanks Bjorn for all your hard work and dedication. Certainly helped me choose the electric cars I have owned. Steady progress leads to long term success.
Great video. Very interesting to hear your story and how you evolved. Perfect content, thanks for uploading and talk to you later ;)
Thanks for sharing :)
What is this Falcom you talked about?
I would love to see you test E-Bikes as well.
Do some range tests, maybe even a 500km challenges and so on.
With a Go Pro on the helmet and a mic inside the helmet and stuff. Would be awesome :)
Me too, that would be awesome. But we might get Bjørn hooked on bikes.
A very useful video
Miss that "driving home for Christmas" video you showed us back before 2010. And the trips to Kongsvinger! :-)
business class ain't worth it. Unless you getting loads of disposable incom don't fly it. Did it once on a 9 hour flight and for the price 400 or 500+ extra just not worth it over regular extra leg room seat.
This was a really interesting listen, Bjørn. You can be proud. You have had an incredible journey from the nimber days up until today.
@bjornnyland how did you meet wifey :D
Don't give too much on haters comments. What I can see and hear from you, you are not an arrogant guy, other than a large german TH-camr called from Munich, who yells at his community as soon as there is some kind of critics. Go on Björn, you are doing a good job!
If the channel nets €100k a year, the partner's entitlement to 30% of it is giving away €30k of earnings per year...in perpetuity.
Taking a €120k loan at 15% interest might have been the better move. €120k over 5 year at 15% interest equals €51k total interest owed! ("only" 17k first year, 14k second year, 11k third year...)
@@mothaybabonnam5632 he couldn't get a loan for technical banking reasons.
He's paying himself a salary that reduces profit and is hoping that this new partner will actually help him grow more than he could do himself. We'll see how that works out.
Clearly Björn didn't pull all levers to monetize his channel.
Very inspiring! Great podcast :)
Sure. Comment after 1 minute
He could have watched the live stream when I shot the video.
@@bjornnyland ah okay
@@bjornnyland Yes! Awesome :)
I still don’t understand why your wife is not working, must be better she work at least part time to get some more money to family. Stay home blame you have kids and so on is not ok, there is kindergarten an a lot of opportunities to study daytime.
It must be much better she take job than your way to selling a part of your channel/brand because after that you are not free anymore and you will be like employee like you was running away from before. Someone else will be your boss now and remember that.
If you want the dream house then you have to work for it both you and wife together.
My wife came to Sweden with bad English and she took basic job in restaurant and hotel cleaning first years, she learn Swedish fast from her work. And soon after that start study and now she has a very well paid job.
By the way, "Torres" is the portuguese for "Towers"
Oh man I used to write Blaise back in 1999-2002. You're the first person I've ever encountered who also wrote it.
Ah Bjørn, I've watched and been subscribed to you since I discovered TH-cam and began my investigations into EVs and renewables.
I grew up before computers so hearing about your work was interesting but had you been speaking in Norwegian, Thai or even German as a Brit I would have understood as much! 😅
Your range test videos in particular helped give me the confidence and understanding to get our first EV, people around here were almost as critical of that as folk have been about your pool! Haha😂
As you can tell I'm quite old and my partner and I chose the safe life and rarely went anywhere, also my ill-health prevented that too, but we were never brave enough to take the risky option.
I suspect a lot of your critics (I am not one) have done this same but they think they've been patient and will reap the benefits later, which may be true. But you have chosen to live a full life while you're young enough to enjoy it and that is good, you've worked hard and are still working hard to give your family the very best you can. Good luck to you, you deserve it.👍💚
A question: I became fascinated by those fields with what looked at first like sheep but on further viewing were large white cylinders, possibly raised up on legs...what on earth are they? Please does anyone know, I'm bursting with curiosity!
Those are big bags of grass.
@@bjornnylandthanks Bjørn but that just begs another question...?! Oh do you mean as in sileage for winter cattle feed?
Btw I forgot to say how pleased I was that you defended wifey, sorry, I can't spell her name. Those comments were awful and unnecessary.
@@judebrown4103 Yes it's food for the cattle during the long Nordic winter 😊
This was cool Bjorn
เดือนตุลาคมยังอยู่ที่ออสโลไหมครับ
I really want to see more races with Pawel. Two good friends, both into EV's, competing 'for the win!'
Hubris, we are all guilty of that
I thought that it was hybris, but i see that is less common. You learn every day 😅
@@egil-andrenessmortensen3037 It can be spelled both ways, but Hubris is the most common way in english.
Very interesting insight into your life Bjorn
I do remember Lotus Notes, was great technology when it was new... did not keep up...
The damn pool… will always haunt you 😂😂
I always wanted to hear this story :)
All the best Björn! 1hour 17 minute Video with this Title? One sentence is enough. 😉

@Bjorn Nyland, are you still working as a programmer at the University?
🤣🤣🤣
I used that in high school
🏆Thankyou for sharing🏆
I've learned so much tech stuff from your vids, & have enjoyed your 1K challenges.
I've often been in awe of how hard working you are.
Everyone has their own luxury items or ways of self-rewards.
No-one should criticise another for their choices.
Freedom of choice.
To the haters.......my Grandma used to say, "If ya don't have anything nice to say then STFU" 😍
Thank you for sharing. Just ignore the pool haters, I’d love a pool in my garden. Just have fun, organize a pool party sometime.
New word of 2024: pool haters
@@bjornnyland 'Pool Poopers'? 😅
7:00 didn't you learn normalisation in your degree?
Of course I did. But I failed to implement it in my early noob days.
Hej @bjornnyland, I have sent you a message via Patreon and Facebook. Since it is a bit personal, I did not want to post it here. Thanks when you have the time to read it 👍
Thanks
Keep on Bjørn! If you do not take any risk - you wont gain anything! Your new mansion will be worth 25 mill NOK in 10 years from now. Speaking from my own experience - houses in the long run will grow in value far more than inflation. The "pause" in 2023-2024 in property prices is only a little bump in the long run. In Norway there is fifty thousand new people to live here every year. They all need a place to live. Nothing to worry about in the long run. Love your channel.
Thanks for sharing Bjorn
Yes I am old enough I got my license in 1980
Speaking of pools... Some quick math says they actually store less energy tham batteries, which makes batteries look amazing.
4200J/kg per K , heat it up from 7C to 27C, that's only 23wh/kg lol
But the advantage here is that I have 44,000 l of water.
Bro has almost 1 MWh at 20K temp difference. The challenge is to extract the heat at such low temp difference.
