Really nice to see your old videos. Quality back in these days where better than today. You may hade more time. I like these wonderful shots of you driving through the snow. Really epic.
15:17 I had no idea that shrimp had balls either lol Good idea to show us about the foods and the temp in the trunk. The video is not too long i love them long and i love the song 9:35.
I have driven on many of those same roads and this video brought back all of those memories! Thank you! I will have my Model S in 7 weeks. Looking forward to some adventures.
Bjørn Nyland Heisann! I ordered P85+ with everything but the alcantara headliner. Can't wait to have some fun with it. I live in Scottsdale, Arizona (US) and drive 380mi to San Diego each month. Model S will make that drive fun again. I sold my XJ-S after the MS test drive. The Jaguar just was not fun after that! My mother is form Bergen, btw and when I was there I did not have GPS as you did and I got lost! :) I remember the long tunnel very well - a masterpiece of civil engineering (I am an electrical engineer). Thanks for the GREAT videos. They are fun to watch!
Bjorn, another great video that combines the art of driving electric (and the calculations necessary to do so) and interesting tidbits about Norway and Thai food!! Personally I could give a darn if your movies are in HD or not! We need to get you & Ammery to the USA sometime and make a video here!
***** Ja, jeg er nok ikke den første som lager video om road trip i USA. Jeg blir heller ikke den første til Nordkapp. Men jeg skal uansett lage en bra road trip video :)
Bjørn Nyland Sorry, I meant specifically where Tesla the person pioneered his long-distance AC power concept. Niagara was the source. Plenty of "juice" is still made there :-)
Thank you for the feedack. Especially on length. In the future videos I don't have to work hard on pushing the length down to 30 minutes if there's enough content for more then :)
Bjorn: Another great video. You do the work of 4 people producing your videos. Got a kick out of your problem with the frunk. I'm looking forward to a Norwegian summer so that you can wash your car. All that salt can't be good.
I love your videos and how you do them fantastic music that you use in between while you're driving I give you credit to take the safest route to get to where you need to go I love that you are going green by using your electric Tesla it's awesome and it's glad to see that it it doesn't take that long to charge up I would like to see more of them here in the United States to be able to get across the state here that will be awesome but glad to see it already implemented and your country
Thank you for the feedback :) I don't always take the safest route though :P I take the route where there is no congestion. But I don't care if there's snow or ice on the road. My Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 tires and the superb traction control in Model S works in perfect harmony :D
Your video's are incredible i must say. Being alone in the car how do you get those far away "splendid" shots of your car i wonder.. Thank you so much for making us discover this car it is greatly appreciated :)
+Brian Dakin Thanks for the feedback. For the driveby shots, I set up the camera on a tripod and drive. Here is an example: th-cam.com/video/MGt5Q-Gdxt0/w-d-xo.html
+Bjørn Nyland Wow you are a dedicated man and also congrats on your winnings you well deserve them. I have just discovered your video a little while back and now i am watching every single one of them and i love the way you work. Bravo my friend.. :) Btw did they find something to fix with your "Fronk" you know when it was stuck?
Seems like you live in your tesla! Respect for all the green kilometers driven! ( and your patience while charging) We need more of those cars & chargers in Quebec, hydro power is abundant here.
I think you can open the frunk manually when it's popped by pressing the button next to the lock mechanism. And there is also a hidden lever under the passenger side glove box if the car is out of battery.
Bjørn Nyland Yes. Peter N is right. I have found this: "EMERGENCY FRUNK OPENER: There’s a secondary, mechanical latch beneath the glove box to open the frunk as well as one within the frunk itself (towards the front)." There is even more interesting tips here: www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-hidden-features-tips-tricks-tidbits/
Greets from Finland! Great videos, really enjoy watching your trips with Tesla. As somebody suggested already please make a video which has more details on the tech stuff of the Model S (best points of the car and what needs improvements etc) Keep rocking!
ya know.. its impossible to make a Tesla video that is shorter. the vehicle(s) are so freakin awesome, you WANT to keep talking giving people info. because a lot of people do not know anything about this vehicle.. if they took a little bit of time to watch videos like this.. people who dont like Tesla/ dont know anything about it will change.. this vehicle changed everything for me in a matter of 30 mins! the first time i saw it. blew me away!
You're absolutely right :) I get questions all the time when I meet people: "How far can you drive in a single charge?", "Does it work in winter?", "How much do you have to pay for charging?"
Make more videos like this Bjorn. I started watching your early videos again. Because they have that feeling of exitement and adventure. Allso that you bring home made food with you is great. It’s funny that CHdeMO, campermode and more chargers are now available. And that your prediction off a 5-10 year time for a good developed infrastructure just took about 3 years. Who would have known.
Thank you for the feedback :) I tried drifting earlier, but the snow was too wet. I will do more snow drifting when I have the chance. I will also make long videos if the content is enough (like this video). Earlier I was afraid that people would think >30 minutes is too long.
Bjørn Nyland www.teslamotors.com/events Scroll down to Europe :) There are many Events in Norway in the next weeks ... I dont know whats happening there, because i cant read it :D
Wow, great video! You have no idea how much I appreciate the work you put into these. Out of 300 subscriptions, you are one of my favorite, if not the best! Keep em' coming Bjørn!
+Bjørn Nyland Nå har det gått ett år siden kommentaren min, jeg har fulgt deg på facebook og youtube siden. Sist helg var jeg i Oslo og hentet en pent brukt TMS85 og jeg skjønner godt du er fornøyd med bilen.
The length is good and it is entertaining to watch, but can you please making future videos more about the Tesla itself, it`s features, your experience with it so far - what you like and don`t and so on, because now it`s more about Easybring tasks and charging :) Cheers!
Driving through Norway in an American car, eating Thai food. Interesting combination. Pad see yew and mango sweet rice are two of my favorite Thai dishes.
Awesome sights in this one! Healthier menu too :D These videos make me miss driving more. Petrol is just soooo expensive here as well, that it's just not fun to drive around "wasting" it.
Another great video Bjorn this length is perfect. How about documenting other ev's in Norway. Would love to see you talk to some Nissan Leaf owners and see how they are doing with CHADEMO fast chargers are they able to get around Norway like you in the Model S.
Thank you for the feedback :) I could do an interview with Leaf owners. But I already know the answer to the road trip question. It's most likely impossible to drive more than 100 km in a single charge in winter. And in Norway it's usually 400-500 km between the CHAdeMO chargers.
Bjørn Nyland Look at your video at 46:35. See the little black tab (in the lower left corner of that screenshot) to the left of where the frunk latch is located. when you tried to open the frunk earlier but it did not unlatch fully, just push your finger down on the little black tab and it full releases the frunk latching mechanism.
Bjørn Nyland Hi. I posted a comment bellow about the frunk opening, but I suppose you didn't saw it. Also there's a hidden lever under the passenger side glove box if the car is out of battery. The lever popes the hood and you have to push the tab to open it. :)
Awesome videos :) I had no idea that they put so many charging station here. Actually they Tesla should combine TeslaS and caravan, they we can sleep in warm place and charge battery at same time :)
Bjørn Nyland I believe there his a guy that is making a conversion. Some dude bought a crashed Tesla and is putting it in a stretched VW bus. Google it =)
I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but at 4:28 we see 234V, 32A, which is 7kW, NOT 22kW. Can you tell me now if the S has the hardware on board to invert 22kW AC or not so I don't have to watch the whole thing?
It's actually 400 V 3-phase 32 A (400 * 1,7 * 32 = 21 760). But the current firmware limits to 26 A which is about 18 kW. If the Model S is equipped with dual charger it will charge at maximum 22 kW. Otherwise it will charge at max 11 kW.
Bjorn. About your frunk problem... Did you try the button next to the lock? You can see it in your video just below your finger at 46:50. If you press that the partially opened frank should release....
Thank you for the tip. Yes, I learned after this video that the button will release the frunk. I told Tesla about this and they fixed it by putting grease or something on the parts. Since that, the frunk have always opened.
Whoa... Fast reaction ;) i'm a Tesla owner too, but having fun with your videos... My parents stay in Norway during the summer. I might do a roadtrip to them next summer and maybe pay you a visit ;)
the amazing thing about yours video is that even you're alone, you have the time, force and skills to to such beautiful video framing. I mean, How much time you loose every time to set the camera on nice spot, drive, and then come back to get back your precious camera?
Some of the spots took me about 5 minutes to setup, start recording and drive. What I need is three spots to park and/or turn the car. First I drive past 1st spot. Then I park at 2nd spot, put the camera and hit record. Then I drive back to 1st spot, turn around, drive past 2nd spot and turn around at 3rd spot. Then I turn around at 2nd spot and grab the camera. The most interesting shot was the driveby at the hairpins in Hemsedal mountains. That shot took me some 15-20 minutes since I had to walk over some deep snow to put up the tripod. I always do this kind of things on remote areas where it's most unlikely that someone will grab my camera :P
pofjiosgjsoges I might have been inspired by Top Gear. I have seen all the episodes, and my favorite ones are the Top Gear Specials where they go on a road trip and accept challenges.
Stephen Jenkins The big difference with Top Gear is that they're a overly-staged, fake show made only for entertainment purpouses. Bjorn's video are highly informative and absolutely genuine :)
32:50 Would it be grate if guys from Tesla can make an upgrade that have an application so that when you want to sleep in the car you can just pres the button on display and you have heating while sleeping. When you wake up you turn it off, and that's it. Little things like that would be quite useful.
Another superb video, the length of it was fine your country is beautiful and the car is pretty amazing as well, we are thinking of geting a model s too. Tell me please what camera you are using as the video is very good quality, pleae keep making more of them I really enjoy them.
New subscriber and the whole family loves your videos! Your comment "I didn't know shrimp had balls" is priceless! You should be a comedy writer! I have reservation #7632 for the Model X and hope to have some videos to share too.
Bjørn Nyland The lease on my 2012 Chrysler Town & Country ends in a year and a half, so I will get the Model X around July 2015. Hopefully others will produce videos before then. I have not yet heard from Tesla to lock in my down payment and make selections of options, but I will at least get the P85 and tech package and of course the double charger!
On this route it would have been perfect with the chAdeMO adapter :) Its suppose to come in march too Norway. Im gonna buy it for sure :D Its a couple of stations here in Oslo. So im able to almost "supercharge" here :) Again , great video Bjørn.
Hello Björn, I really love your videos. I will get my Tesla in September and because of your videos, I am looking forward to making road trips with it. I saw in this video that you are using the 22kw chargers. Have you also ordered a Chademo adapter. It looks like a good alternative also in Norway.
What options did you go for on your Tesla? I can't order CHAdeMO adapter yet because it's not available. I wanted one, but when I talked to a guy on the Norwegian EV forum, I might change my mind. He said that the chargers in Norway are very expensive (4 NOK/kWh) and they automatically shut off after 15 minutes. Another drawback is that you have to get in line between the Leafs.
Bjørn Nyland I ordered the 85KW standard version in black (I like black cars). Duo charger, Tech package, Panoramic roof, Creme performance seats (I think the same you have), parking sensors. I also ordered the Chademo adapter and the centre console. For both I am on the waiting list. In the Netherlands a company called Fastned is installing over 200 charging points. They will be on every gas station along the highways in the Netherlands (see www.fastned.nl). They have Chademo fast charging, so I sure hope Tesla delivers my Chademo adapter on time. That will make charging super easy. I saw you re0uploaded your last video, I will watch that later tonight!!
Suggestion for Tesla. "Camp Mode" Power stays on all the time while in this mode. Tesla owners will thank you in the future when you give it to them in version??? Now it's time for some Papai Ya.
Regarding the frunk, I heard on another Model S video that there is a 2-part hatch system. So if you press the open button while driving the frunk won't blow up in your face. Then it would open the "first-level" hatch, but the 2nd hatch would keep it down. Maybe it had something to do with that. There should be a handle close to the thing that goes down in the car to secure it that you could press to open the 2nd level hatch, try that next time it doesnt work :) you could try by closing the frunk halv-way, to the first "click" and then look for the handle and see if it opens the frunk completely :)
Björn, mango + sticky rice looks something that one can make at home. What is the white creamy stuff on it? Will canned mangos work? Zero salt when cooking the rice? A receipe please.
I really like how you used the charging station to boil water for the yummy shrimp ball noodle soup. Maybe the boiling water electric kettle can be a future option :)
Hi again Bjørn! Another great video. For you 'car going to sleep' problem, have you tried putting it into Neutral using the 'E-brake and power off' screen, then the e-brake screen button?
How come it's only charging at 26A, when the 22kW Type2 plug allows up to 32A charging? In fact, when you're charging at 26A, 233V (what your LCD display shows), you're charging only at 18kW and not at 22kW, what this charge point allows.
The firmware is limited to 13 A/26 A at the moment. Yes, you are absolutely right. I say 22 kW, but the reality is 18 kW. It will be 22 kW soon though :)
Bjørn Nyland Did Tesla limit charging power to 80% of what the plug allows because of that melting home plug in the USA? I thought, that you could charge with 100% power of what the plug would allow before that incident.
I think this is not firmware but hardware limitation. Note that twin chargers are 2x10 kW, so in ideal conditions you could get 20kW of AC (3-phases) to charge the car ! 18-19 kW (depending on Voltage) is realistic and this is why you always get near 26A not 32A (per phase). No matter if you plug Type 2 AC 22, 43 kW or even higher powers because Tesla will take max 18-19 kW anyway. IF twinchargers have some safe upper limit (let say + 1 or 2 kW per unit) there will be possible to draw higher current when firmware allows it. Of course CHAdeMO 50kW DC is better option anyway (if you get adapter). The only way to increase limit of AC charging (even to 43 kW as some location allows) is waiting for relase of new in-car charger units, but there is some tech-issues I guess. One is their size, another is 4x higher heat emission (per EACH unit !!! ), so lets leave this problems to Tesla engineers. Maybe next versions of model S will get this option :-) Till then is possible to charge "anything from AC but not higher than 20kW" ;-)
Update. Looks like Bjorn is right. There is 2 different onboard chargers: one for US : www.teslamotors.com/models/specs and new one for EU: www.teslamotors.com/de_CH/charging#/outlet EU charger is 11kW so now it is possible match 22kW standard if you have twin charger mode activated (and when firmware allows you). Rest of my previous post remains the same.
I have never had the need to raise the car to high/very high even in winter conditons. I only stay in the bigger roads though. I would imagine if I had a cabin somewhere that I needed to raise the car.
I think it didn't fully open because some of my luggage was too close to the lid. I have had the problem a few times now, but I figured out how to use the manual release button to open it.
Hi Bjorn! When charging the Tesla I noticed that you can alter the charging current. When can you do this and what effect does it have on the charging?
Bjørn Nyland , can you tell me more about the company that provides this delivery service you take part (the doves, the keyboard, the snow skis, etc)? Is there an App or something? Thank you for the 50 minutes adventures video. I enjoyed every minute of it of all the 5 parts.
Bjørn Nyland I just realized that Tesla is taking people using the SC network for profit like this into account! I mean, when they start to sell hundreds of thousands of E's, the extra price for the free-forever super charging option will be enough to account for Tesla's prediction of the marginal electron consumption and use of the network for that car. The cost of the network and the power, even accounting for some 'abuse' is rolled into the price of the S85, and into the price of the S60 free-forever supercharing option. Tesla thinks everything out. Plans within plans.
Quick question: You can hear a lot of tire and or wind noise while you are driving. Is it because you are using winter tires or maybe even studded tires?
Yes, it's because I use studded tires. But it's also because the camera is placed about 1 meter away from me. If I used my Zoom H4n sound recorder and a clip microphone the noise will be less audible. I have a crappy Hama mic which makes my voice sound less deep than it really is. I should get a new mic and start using H4n like the pros do :P
Stephen Jenkins Good idea :) I will make a "Behind the scenes" or "Making of" videos =) Yes, I have a set of 19" 5-spoke wheels and summer tires that will be put on in late April. I guess I could make a short video about the wheels.
Love your videos man, you are becomming a bit of a star among the tesla community. what do you think of the charge speed of puplic charging stations? Too slow? Or adequate?
Thank you for the feedback :) Yeah, many people are starting to recognize me at the SCs, in Tesla stores and on Tesla events :P The 13/16 A chargers are too slow. But the 22 kW Type 2 chargers are good :) About 1-2 hours of charging is usually plenty.
Bjørn Nyland do you have 3G availability most of the time on your trips, in Norway and abroad? I was reading yesterday something like Tesla has had secured mobile internet in their cars in all (most) European countries. It seamed to me a little bit unbelievable, I must admit. What kind of sim card they install in the vehicle, or have they managed to secure mobile internet for vehicle through different solution? Thanks for answer.
Hi Bjorn - again great stuff. What I really like and looking for is Norway :) - and during this one you've showed some nice landscapes :) more please. I just did short configuration on Tesla website - over 100k $ for Performance - I need to live 3 times to get it ;) anyway we need to have dreams. BTW - can you publish some recipes regarding the food you've prepared this time for yourself - sticky rice looks pretty tasty. as I do not eat seafood shrimp balls (really??? ;)) are not in my menu but you can replace them with chicken or any other stuff - so looking forward. And last point...where did you hide your wife? both trunks looked pretty occupied :D thanks again!
Bjørn Nyland Awesome, thanks for your answers. I can't wait to own a Tesla, although it will still be a few years before I can buy one. Hopefully, technology will have advanced even more till then (120kW battery pack) and all the little flaws will have been corrected :) Thanks for all the work you put into your videos by the way! I do prefer the shorter format, though.
Awesome video as always! :) From all your driving shots Norway looks to be an extremely beautiful country.. With your videos getting this long, how much time do you spend on editing??
I spent about three days (3x8 hours) editing. It doesn't take that longer than the other videos. What took time on the other videos was having to choose which scenes to take out to make the video shorter.
I like watching your videos. It's interesting and relaxing at the same time. And the music you choose is great. Btw. what camera are you using for your movies?
bjorn ,, also make a trip on just chademo chargers, they have a good charging rate 200km/hour i guess ,saw in one of your video. and are is their charging v expensive? they offer a good service i guess. as in some videos i have seen even 25km/hour charging rate, thats damn slow. And type 2 chargers are free everywhere i guess.
Oh man. Then it's good u didn't use it lol. I was wondering that why u preferring 5, 6 hours charge waiting and not using chadamo, and also chadamo adapters are quite expensive too. Infrastructure needs to be made more available..
Jame Jame I use CHAdeMO today and prefer it. The reason why I didn't use it in this video was that back then the CHAdeMO adapter weren't introduced yet. If it was then I would gladly charge faster and pay for it. The adapter isn't that expensive compared to the car. And the time saved is priceless.
Oh yayyy,, lol.. Ya chadamo adapters video u have made later I guess. Chadamo charging rate is rate is approx 50kwh, that's good. If possible try a trip on chadamo..
Hi Bjorn! I've noticed some Teslas have charging status LEDs around the plug while yours seems to be on the side. Is it a US/EU thing? Is it because if the type of plug? Do you get to choose that? Dual charger related perhaps? Thanks!
Bjørn Nyland Cool, maybe you can make a video when you get it. it surprises me again how much stuff you can haul with a model s. oh nothing special just 8 radiators and a roland piano ;)
9 year later, still good videos :)
...still watching 👍
Thumbs up for the wonderful power slide @ 44:58 :)
Yay! :D
Really nice to see your old videos. Quality back in these days where better than today. You may hade more time. I like these wonderful shots of you driving through the snow. Really epic.
Some parts were good, some parts were bad. My shooting was not so good before.
Bjorn! Come to Brazil and you can stay in my home!
Keep doing your videos, they´re awesome!
Thank you for the feedback :) If I ever go to Brazil, I'll let you know! Where in Brazil do you live?
Bjørn Nyland Joinville, Santa Catarina. We are getting the new BMW's factory. It´s the biggest city in our state.

Then I'm your Niagara Falls guide, if you wish. But you may not be the first Model S road video shot there . . . stay tuned!
***** Ja, jeg er nok ikke den første som lager video om road trip i USA. Jeg blir heller ikke den første til Nordkapp. Men jeg skal uansett lage en bra road trip video :)
Bjørn Nyland Sorry, I meant specifically where Tesla the person pioneered his long-distance AC power concept. Niagara was the source. Plenty of "juice" is still made there :-)
I'm loving the longer videos! Be sure to tell us what they say at Tesla when you bring it in! Awesome vid as always.
Thank you for the feedack. Especially on length. In the future videos I don't have to work hard on pushing the length down to 30 minutes if there's enough content for more then :)
outstanding driftooooo @ 44:58. nicely executed.
Longer videos = awesome!
Thank you for the feedback :) I'm glad you like it.
Love these videos so much. How Bjorn talks about his food is so funny as well.
Bjorn: Another great video. You do the work of 4 people producing your videos. Got a kick out of your problem with the frunk. I'm looking forward to a Norwegian summer so that you can wash your car. All that salt can't be good.
after 5 videos,you are already a star in all tesla forums,for sure you will end on the right side of elon.
I hope I can meet him one day and do an exclusive interview with him :D

Thank you for the feedback =)
Cool parking style at 45:00 ;)
Thank you :)
Make more videos like this Bjorn. I started watching your early videos again. Because they have that feeling of exitement and adventure. Allso that you bring home made food with you is great.
It’s funny that CHdeMO, campermode and more chargers are now available. And that your prediction off a 5-10 year time for a good developed infrastructure just took about 3 years. Who would have known.
Hey Bjørn :)
Nice video and thanks for the little drift ;)
The Length ist good, i like it!
Greetings :)
Thank you for the feedback :) I tried drifting earlier, but the snow was too wet. I will do more snow drifting when I have the chance. I will also make long videos if the content is enough (like this video). Earlier I was afraid that people would think >30 minutes is too long.
30Min+ is really good, i think...if you have enough content :)
Are you going visit some Tesla Events in Norway in February?
Paldadin What events?
Bjørn Nyland www.teslamotors.com/events Scroll down to Europe :) There are many Events in Norway in the next weeks
... I dont know whats happening there, because i cant read it :D
Paldadin Thank you :)
Wow, great video! You have no idea how much I appreciate the work you put into these. Out of 300 subscriptions, you are one of my favorite, if not the best! Keep em' coming Bjørn!
Wow, awesome! Thank you for the feedback :)
Bjørn Nyland I'm still counting on that drifting video, lol.
Jesus. The time I met bjorn!
Herlig film, liker redigeringen, musikken, kameravinklene og det du snakker om.
Veldig underholdende.
Takk for tilbakemeldingen :)
+Bjørn Nyland Nå har det gått ett år siden kommentaren min, jeg har fulgt deg på facebook og youtube siden. Sist helg var jeg i Oslo og hentet en pent brukt TMS85 og jeg skjønner godt du er fornøyd med bilen.
iknutis Gratulerer med ny Tesla :)
The length is good and it is entertaining to watch, but can you please making future videos more about the Tesla itself, it`s features, your experience with it so far - what you like and don`t and so on, because now it`s more about Easybring tasks and charging :) Cheers!
Thank you for the feedback :) You're absolutely right. I will have less contents about Easybring and charging and more about Tesla.
Bjørn Nyland Great! Can`t wait ;)
Driving through Norway in an American car, eating Thai food. Interesting combination. Pad see yew and mango sweet rice are two of my favorite Thai dishes.
Yes, weird but maybe unique combination :)
Awesome sights in this one! Healthier menu too :D These videos make me miss driving more. Petrol is just soooo expensive here as well, that it's just not fun to drive around "wasting" it.
Man, do I get hungry watching you as you eat all that food. :D
pretty cool to see videos from a tesla owner. Thank you !!
Thank you for the feedback :)
Amazing videos. All the best from Istanbul, the city with the most expensive gas in the world.
Hello Istanbul! :D
yay! I've been waiting for you to go to Bergen :D
After many runs between Oslo and Trondheim, I found the road to Bergen to be very beautiful!
Nice drift and video.
It was nice hearing from the guy at Sonnico.
Thank you for the feedback :) I wanted to know if anyone like the interview. I found it very useful to hear about Sønnico's role with Tesla.
Another great video Bjorn this length is perfect. How about documenting other ev's in Norway. Would love to see you talk to some Nissan Leaf owners and see how they are doing with CHADEMO fast chargers are they able to get around Norway like you in the Model S.
Thank you for the feedback :) I could do an interview with Leaf owners. But I already know the answer to the road trip question. It's most likely impossible to drive more than 100 km in a single charge in winter. And in Norway it's usually 400-500 km between the CHAdeMO chargers.
Bjørn Nyland Tesla dominance :D For now.
Well Bjørn, I'm actually your youngest fan, beacause I'm just 10 ;D
Bjorn, As several folks mentioned, there is a manual frunk release that was actually visible in your video! (I am sure you figured that out!)
I haven't figured it out. Where is the manual frunk release? Sorry, I should have read the manual.
Bjørn Nyland
Look at your video at 46:35. See the little black tab (in the lower left corner of that screenshot) to the left of where the frunk latch is located. when you tried to open the frunk earlier but it did not unlatch fully, just push your finger down on the little black tab and it full releases the frunk latching mechanism.
Jim Thompson Thank you :) I will try that if the frunk doesn't want to open next time :D
Bjørn Nyland Hi. I posted a comment bellow about the frunk opening, but I suppose you didn't saw it. Also there's a hidden lever under the passenger side glove box if the car is out of battery. The lever popes the hood and you have to push the tab to open it. :)
Peter N Thank you for the tip :)
awesome video.. though tesla is not available in india, I follow it a lot. I thoroughly enjoyed you trip with Tesla. Great Video..!!! :)
Thank you for the feedback :)
Awesome videos :) I had no idea that they put so many charging station here. Actually they Tesla should combine TeslaS and caravan, they we can sleep in warm place and charge battery at same time :)
A caravan with a huge battery would be awesome :D
Bjørn Nyland I believe there his a guy that is making a conversion. Some dude bought a crashed Tesla and is putting it in a stretched VW bus. Google it =)
Perfekt fredag etter jobb! takk for videon! :)
Ha en hyggelig helg! :D
I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but at 4:28 we see 234V, 32A, which is 7kW, NOT 22kW. Can you tell me now if the S has the hardware on board to invert 22kW AC or not so I don't have to watch the whole thing?
It's actually 400 V 3-phase 32 A (400 * 1,7 * 32 = 21 760). But the current firmware limits to 26 A which is about 18 kW. If the Model S is equipped with dual charger it will charge at maximum 22 kW. Otherwise it will charge at max 11 kW.
Bjorn. About your frunk problem... Did you try the button next to the lock? You can see it in your video just below your finger at 46:50. If you press that the partially opened frank should release....
Thank you for the tip. Yes, I learned after this video that the button will release the frunk. I told Tesla about this and they fixed it by putting grease or something on the parts. Since that, the frunk have always opened.
Whoa... Fast reaction ;) i'm a Tesla owner too, but having fun with your videos... My parents stay in Norway during the summer. I might do a roadtrip to them next summer and maybe pay you a visit ;)
André Donckers You are welcome to visit us. We can make Thai food for you :)
Now that i would love!!! Thx maybe cu next year then...
the amazing thing about yours video is that even you're alone, you have the time, force and skills to to such beautiful video framing. I mean, How much time you loose every time to set the camera on nice spot, drive, and then come back to get back your precious camera?
Some of the spots took me about 5 minutes to setup, start recording and drive. What I need is three spots to park and/or turn the car. First I drive past 1st spot. Then I park at 2nd spot, put the camera and hit record. Then I drive back to 1st spot, turn around, drive past 2nd spot and turn around at 3rd spot. Then I turn around at 2nd spot and grab the camera.
The most interesting shot was the driveby at the hairpins in Hemsedal mountains. That shot took me some 15-20 minutes since I had to walk over some deep snow to put up the tripod.
I always do this kind of things on remote areas where it's most unlikely that someone will grab my camera :P
pofjiosgjsoges I might have been inspired by Top Gear. I have seen all the episodes, and my favorite ones are the Top Gear Specials where they go on a road trip and accept challenges.
Stephen Jenkins The charm about my video is that there is no camera crew and no follow car. Just me, my cameras, my wife and our Tesla =)
Stephen Jenkins The big difference with Top Gear is that they're a overly-staged, fake show made only for entertainment purpouses. Bjorn's video are highly informative and absolutely genuine :)
Funny, bmw broken glass 12:14. ))) strange to Norway
That car has been damaged even more now. I should show it on video #6.
Bjørn Nyland ok. thanks
08:15 oh boy this is so good!
Agreed =)
32:50 Would it be grate if guys from Tesla can make an upgrade that have an application so that when you want to sleep in the car you can just pres the button on display and you have heating while sleeping. When you wake up you turn it off, and that's it. Little things like that would be quite useful.
Good suggestion :)
12:17 the window on the I think bmw3 is smashed. Do you know what happened to it?
It's vandalism.
Another superb video, the length of it was fine your country is beautiful and the car is pretty amazing as well, we are thinking of geting a model s too. Tell me please what camera you are using as the video is very good quality, pleae keep making more of them I really enjoy them.
Thank you for the feedback :) I use a Canon HF-G10 as my main camera and a Nikon D7000 with 24-70 mm f/2.8 G lens.
Thanks for the information
New subscriber and the whole family loves your videos! Your comment "I didn't know shrimp had balls" is priceless! You should be a comedy writer!
I have reservation #7632 for the Model X and hope to have some videos to share too.
Thank you for the feedback :) When are you getting your Model X and what equipment did you go for?
Bjørn Nyland The lease on my 2012 Chrysler Town & Country ends in a year and a half, so I will get the Model X around July 2015. Hopefully others will produce videos before then. I have not yet heard from Tesla to lock in my down payment and make selections of options, but I will at least get the P85 and tech package and of course the double charger!
Cameron Conway Sounds like a good choice :)
On this route it would have been perfect with the chAdeMO adapter :)
Its suppose to come in march too Norway.
Im gonna buy it for sure :D Its a couple of stations here in Oslo. So im able to almost "supercharge" here :)
Again , great video Bjørn.
I saw you in Bergen for a week ago +Bjørn N. It's a beutigul car!
loving it Bjorn. Thank you. You make long flights so much easier xD
Hehehe, awesome =)
Hello Björn,
I really love your videos. I will get my Tesla in September and because of your videos, I am looking forward to making road trips with it.
I saw in this video that you are using the 22kw chargers. Have you also ordered a Chademo adapter. It looks like a good alternative also in Norway.
What options did you go for on your Tesla? I can't order CHAdeMO adapter yet because it's not available. I wanted one, but when I talked to a guy on the Norwegian EV forum, I might change my mind. He said that the chargers in Norway are very expensive (4 NOK/kWh) and they automatically shut off after 15 minutes. Another drawback is that you have to get in line between the Leafs.
Bjørn Nyland I ordered the 85KW standard version in black (I like black cars). Duo charger, Tech package, Panoramic roof, Creme performance seats (I think the same you have), parking sensors. I also ordered the Chademo adapter and the centre console. For both I am on the waiting list. In the Netherlands a company called Fastned is installing over 200 charging points. They will be on every gas station along the highways in the Netherlands (see www.fastned.nl). They have Chademo fast charging, so I sure hope Tesla delivers my Chademo adapter on time. That will make charging super easy. I saw you re0uploaded your last video, I will watch that later tonight!!
Beautiful video.
Thank you :)
Suggestion for Tesla. "Camp Mode" Power stays on all the time while in this mode. Tesla owners will thank you in the future when you give it to them in version??? Now it's time for some Papai Ya.
"Camp Mode" sounds awesome :) I'd call it "Happy Camper Mode", hehe. Do you eat papaya salad?
Another good video ...
Thank you :)
Regarding the frunk, I heard on another Model S video that there is a 2-part hatch system. So if you press the open button while driving the frunk won't blow up in your face. Then it would open the "first-level" hatch, but the 2nd hatch would keep it down. Maybe it had something to do with that. There should be a handle close to the thing that goes down in the car to secure it that you could press to open the 2nd level hatch, try that next time it doesnt work :) you could try by closing the frunk halv-way, to the first "click" and then look for the handle and see if it opens the frunk completely :)
Scrolled down a bit and saw that someone else alredy had told you. Anyway, love your videos! Wish I could drive a Tesla myself :)
Thank you for the tip =)
Adam Sandström Tesla is coming to Sweden too, right?
Yes, but the Model S doesn't fit my butget, just 18 :)
Adam Sandström Save up for Model E then :D
Björn, mango + sticky rice looks something that one can make at home. What is the white creamy stuff on it? Will canned mangos work? Zero salt when cooking the rice? A receipe please.
I really like how you used the charging station to boil water for the yummy shrimp ball noodle soup. Maybe the boiling water electric kettle can be a future option :)
Elsker videone dine Bjørn
Takk :)
Hi again Bjørn! Another great video. For you 'car going to sleep' problem, have you tried putting it into Neutral using the 'E-brake and power off' screen, then the e-brake screen button?
mango with sticky rice you are the best looks good
Thanks :)
How come it's only charging at 26A, when the 22kW Type2 plug allows up to 32A charging? In fact, when you're charging at 26A, 233V (what your LCD display shows), you're charging only at 18kW and not at 22kW, what this charge point allows.
The firmware is limited to 13 A/26 A at the moment. Yes, you are absolutely right. I say 22 kW, but the reality is 18 kW. It will be 22 kW soon though :)
Bjørn Nyland Did Tesla limit charging power to 80% of what the plug allows because of that melting home plug in the USA? I thought, that you could charge with 100% power of what the plug would allow before that incident.
Andrej Potokar Yes, Tesla limited it. I'm guessing it was due to some problems that they are currently working on now.
I think this is not firmware but hardware limitation. Note that twin chargers are 2x10 kW, so in ideal conditions you could get 20kW of AC (3-phases) to charge the car ! 18-19 kW (depending on Voltage) is realistic and this is why you always get near 26A not 32A (per phase). No matter if you plug Type 2 AC 22, 43 kW or even higher powers because Tesla will take max 18-19 kW anyway. IF twinchargers have some safe upper limit (let say + 1 or 2 kW per unit) there will be possible to draw higher current when firmware allows it. Of course CHAdeMO 50kW DC is better option anyway (if you get adapter). The only way to increase limit of AC charging (even to 43 kW as some location allows) is waiting for relase of new in-car charger units, but there is some tech-issues I guess. One is their size, another is 4x higher heat emission (per EACH unit !!! ), so lets leave this problems to Tesla engineers. Maybe next versions of model S will get this option :-) Till then is possible to charge "anything from AC but not higher than 20kW" ;-)
Update. Looks like Bjorn is right. There is 2 different onboard chargers: one for US : www.teslamotors.com/models/specs and new one for EU: www.teslamotors.com/de_CH/charging#/outlet EU charger is 11kW so now it is possible match 22kW standard if you have twin charger mode activated (and when firmware allows you). Rest of my previous post remains the same.
45:00 Bjorn's donation animation :)
I watch this and I think Love Story, a man and his beloved car.
Do you ever have to jack up the suspension to get over obstacles? The car seems pretty low on its normal setting.
I have never had the need to raise the car to high/very high even in winter conditons. I only stay in the bigger roads though. I would imagine if I had a cabin somewhere that I needed to raise the car.
Hi Bjorn, how did you obtain the key you use to open the charging point in Voss? The one you use to boil the water.
I got it with the car.
Mango with sticky rice.. my favourite! But you forgot the nuts on top!
I prefer without the nuts :)
Great video ! but did you figure out what's happened to front luggage room?
I think it didn't fully open because some of my luggage was too close to the lid. I have had the problem a few times now, but I figured out how to use the manual release button to open it.
i laughed at the "i didn't know shrimp had balls" joke ;)
Hi Bjorn! When charging the Tesla I noticed that you can alter the charging current. When can you do this and what effect does it have on the charging?
I can alter the charging current any time I want. But it has to be done in the car (not the app). If I lower the current, it will charge slower.
So one would simply leave the selection at its highest current setting?
What do you do for a living?
I work as a Scala programmer at the University of Oslo.
Bjørn Nyland , can you tell me more about the company that provides this delivery service you take part (the doves, the keyboard, the snow skis, etc)? Is there an App or something? Thank you for the 50 minutes adventures video. I enjoyed every minute of it of all the 5 parts.
Saulo Vilanova Thank you for the feedback :) Take a look at www.easybring.com. They have Android and iOS app too.
Bjørn Nyland I just realized that Tesla is taking people using the SC network for profit like this into account! I mean, when they start to sell hundreds of thousands of E's, the extra price for the free-forever super charging option will be enough to account for Tesla's prediction of the marginal electron consumption and use of the network for that car. The cost of the network and the power, even accounting for some 'abuse' is rolled into the price of the S85, and into the price of the S60 free-forever supercharing option. Tesla thinks everything out. Plans within plans.
Quick question: You can hear a lot of tire and or wind noise while you are driving. Is it because you are using winter tires or maybe even studded tires?
Yes, it's because I use studded tires. But it's also because the camera is placed about 1 meter away from me. If I used my Zoom H4n sound recorder and a clip microphone the noise will be less audible. I have a crappy Hama mic which makes my voice sound less deep than it really is. I should get a new mic and start using H4n like the pros do :P
Stephen Jenkins Good idea :) I will make a "Behind the scenes" or "Making of" videos =) Yes, I have a set of 19" 5-spoke wheels and summer tires that will be put on in late April. I guess I could make a short video about the wheels.
is it possible to get gps logs from tesla's touchpc and it would be very good if we can use car's battery as an actual battery
Tesla logs a lot of parameters. But it doesn't log the GPS position.
Voss!! That is where my great-grandfather was from :D
Awesome =)
Love your videos man, you are becomming a bit of a star among the tesla community. what do you think of the charge speed of puplic charging stations?
Too slow? Or adequate?
Thank you for the feedback :) Yeah, many people are starting to recognize me at the SCs, in Tesla stores and on Tesla events :P The 13/16 A chargers are too slow. But the 22 kW Type 2 chargers are good :) About 1-2 hours of charging is usually plenty.
Bjørn Nyland do you have 3G availability most of the time on your trips, in Norway and abroad? I was reading yesterday something like Tesla has had secured mobile internet in their cars in all (most) European countries. It seamed to me a little bit unbelievable, I must admit. What kind of sim card they install in the vehicle, or have they managed to secure mobile internet for vehicle through different solution? Thanks for answer.
I wish you'd post more road trip videos like this
I will. I'm working on one right now.
Bjorn, do you have a screen going off and cutting off the heater in a Model X every half an hour?
Hi Bjorn - again great stuff. What I really like and looking for is Norway :) - and during this one you've showed some nice landscapes :) more please. I just did short configuration on Tesla website - over 100k $ for Performance - I need to live 3 times to get it ;) anyway we need to have dreams. BTW - can you publish some recipes regarding the food you've prepared this time for yourself - sticky rice looks pretty tasty. as I do not eat seafood shrimp balls (really??? ;)) are not in my menu but you can replace them with chicken or any other stuff - so looking forward. And last point...where did you hide your wife? both trunks looked pretty occupied :D thanks again!
Thank you for the feedback :) I'll consider publishing some recipes :)
would be perfect :) so I'm waiting for next weekend take care
This car is great
Agreed :)
Perfektné auto. Krásna krajina.
Are all public charging stations free or charge, regardless whether you own a Tesla?
Yes, almost all public chargers (except for a few CHAdeMOs and Type 2) are free of charge regardless of car.
Bjørn Nyland Awesome, thanks for your answers. I can't wait to own a Tesla, although it will still be a few years before I can buy one. Hopefully, technology will have advanced even more till then (120kW battery pack) and all the little flaws will have been corrected :) Thanks for all the work you put into your videos by the way! I do prefer the shorter format, though.
Sascha Braendle Thank you for the feedback :)
after driving thousands of miles, how much do you say model s does in one full charge?
In winter conditions, 400 km on a full charge. I'm expecting 500 km in summer.
impressive. go for it
Awesome video as always! :) From all your driving shots Norway looks to be an extremely beautiful country.. With your videos getting this long, how much time do you spend on editing??
I spent about three days (3x8 hours) editing. It doesn't take that longer than the other videos. What took time on the other videos was having to choose which scenes to take out to make the video shorter.
Yeah I bet you have a lot of unused footage.. :) What type of machine are you working on when you edit your videos??
tjay84 I use an Intel Q9650 3 GHz quad core @3.5 GHz and 8 GB of RAM.
nice drifting skills :p
Thank you :)
Thanks for posting these nice videos.
How do you make the cool animated maps...?
I use Google maps and Adobe After Effects.
I like watching your videos. It's interesting and relaxing at the same time. And the music you choose is great.
Btw. what camera are you using for your movies?
bjorn ,, also make a trip on just chademo chargers, they have a good charging rate 200km/hour i guess ,saw in one of your video. and are is their charging v expensive? they offer a good service i guess. as in some videos i have seen even 25km/hour charging rate, thats damn slow. And type 2 chargers are free everywhere i guess.
+Jame Jame It's kinda expensive. Cost about $20 per hour.
Oh man. Then it's good u didn't use it lol. I was wondering that why u preferring 5, 6 hours charge waiting and not using chadamo, and also chadamo adapters are quite expensive too. Infrastructure needs to be made more available..
Jame Jame I use CHAdeMO today and prefer it. The reason why I didn't use it in this video was that back then the CHAdeMO adapter weren't introduced yet. If it was then I would gladly charge faster and pay for it.
The adapter isn't that expensive compared to the car. And the time saved is priceless.
Oh yayyy,, lol.. Ya chadamo adapters video u have made later I guess. Chadamo charging rate is rate is approx 50kwh, that's good. If possible try a trip on chadamo..
Jame Jame CHAdeMO charges at around 40 kW. Remember that kW = power and kWh = energy
th-cam.com/video/BCM09qnAH34/w-d-xo.html
Hi Bjorn! I've noticed some Teslas have charging status LEDs around the plug while yours seems to be on the side. Is it a US/EU thing? Is it because if the type of plug? Do you get to choose that? Dual charger related perhaps? Thanks!
The US version has a light around the plug while EU version has lights on the side.
the plug is different too
These videos rule!!
Thank you :)
@ 45:00 nice stunt driving manoeuvre Bjorn
Thank you :)
What is the name of the song you have in the video ? , its song by a girl .
All the soundtracks are listed in the description.
I love it , you stil need som oil and grease on the frunk and DU even if it is all eletric ;-)
Hi.
Another great video. Thanks.
Do you plan to get the chademo adapter for your tesla?
rgds
Thank you for the feedback :) Yes, I will get the CHAdeMO adapter when it comes out.
Bjørn Nyland
Cool, maybe you can make a video when you get it.
it surprises me again how much stuff you can haul with a model s.
oh nothing special just 8 radiators and a roland piano ;)
How much lag does the model X touch screen have?
From what I gather, it's still a little bit sluggish. Definitely, something Tesla needs to work on.
oh man... i think im gona have to get some mango sticky rice this weekend now!
