Thanks for making these videos! I just my S 85D and am very happy with it. I can't stop making excuses to take a drive :) Watching your experiences definitely contributed to the decision!
Thanks for sharing your trip with us. I enjoyed the video of the tours you took, as well as of the countryside, very much! You had some really life-like, fantastic video. Not the posed, fake-looking kind of video you see people make sometimes. (I am sorry for being late in watching this. I had been looking forward to it, ever since you posted Part 1, but I've been 'under the weather', again.) I love your videos and having Ammery with you, just makes them even better! Oh, what a gentleman you are! Carrying Ammery across the muddy/wet field puts you in a class above the norm. :) The older couple you met at the Supercharger in France, with the little dog, were so cute. They remind me of my neighbors. lol
Crazy long leg back home again! ^^ You revealed your home address on the GPS there (but you probably don't care). You ought to credit your wife at the end also for sticking along on these insane road trips. :) Some really nice shots with the cherry blossoms and some cool music during the night driving. Keep it up!
Hi. Great video. Thanks. About 3 phase inverter. Between solar panels and batteries is charge controller. And inverter goes between batteries and 230/400V sockets. inverter inverts DC current into AC and step up voltage. :)
Final part of your easter trip, good video and i never seen a 5 litre beer can before so it is a good eye opener. Good work bjorn, always enjoy your video & keep up
Hi Bjorn and Amaree :-) Love your videos, your humor and your humility. Not to mention the great shots of Europe, and of course THE MILLENIUM FALCON. Slip streaming behind large vehicles. Can you please do a video on how best to slip stream and polite practices. As a semi driver here in Australia I see so many people behind me doing it wrong. They are either too close, or too far away. My biggest problem is slip streaming drivers not letting me as the driver in front know that they are still there after going past a turn off. I.E Pull out a little from behind my trailers so I can see they haven't turned off, this means I can moderate braking to give them as the slip streaming driver a chance to brake since they often can't see what is happening in front of them. As a Professional driver I believe it is my job to look after everyone on the road around me as well as myself. In this video you gave a brief shot of you following a bus to save mileage (A bit too far back in my opinion) Can you please do a video explaining slip streaming ? Cheers Mick
Hi from Spain!! ;) First of all... I love all your videos XD The car seems fantastic, I'm in love with it since I 've seen it on Geneva Auto Show this year... I wish I could drive one!! Ok, I write you for tell you that a liquid product exist which you can empty on windshield and water is repelled, so you will have no drops and it is possible a safe driving. This product is selling in normal supermarkets. Now, if problem going back again, you can solve it ;) I hope I've been help for you. Sorry if you knew this before. Hugs!! And... You can enjoy Spain with a lot of beautyfull roads (Asturias is the best zone xD)
That Supercharger in Hirschberg is about 2 kilometers from my home. I knew i had seen you before somewhere, just didn´t know where, now i do ;) And i love your videos and i´ll miss the falcon videos ;) but i´m looking forward to see model X Videos as well :)
Such an upvotable road trip. I actually sat down and did the math. you traveled 714 kilometers per day on this trip. In comparison to 670 per day in the BMW and 421 kilometers per day in your first European road trip. Not sure if apples to apples comparison, but still mildly interesting. If anyone honestly cares.
Michael Moses Wow, that's impressive. I traveled further in the Tesla than the BMW. It just shows that for long distance driving, you need to stop for food and rest anyways. Last year's trip had low kilometers because of slow chargers.
Bjørn Nyland You did NOT travel further in the Tesla than the BMW. You traveled more kilometers per day. Your total driving distance was less. If you had traveled for more time, you could have traveled further in both per day and absolute terms.
Congratulations, it's just an amazing video and I enjoyed it a lot. I was wondering how long does it take you to cut such a video? I would do it for at least a week. Thanks.
Zabijak008 I spend about 3-4 weeks doing it. But I don't have time every night. And sometimes I'm stuck on what sound track to use on each place. It has to be carefully picked.
Bjørn Nyland As always, you did a great job on it. It's really entertaining, and it has the full length of a Hollywood movie :-). Congrats. Can't wait to see the Berlin video. I'm wondering now, what other places you will get to this time.
Tesla should include camper mode in the next update. Come to think of it, you guys could use in-built microwave and a small fridge, model III should have it optinally. Nice to see you enjoy driving so much, if you will use supercharger in Ljubljana, while you chase 1 mil km, contact me for local info
Hey Bjorn nyland :) Have seen all your road trips I love tesla.You take some killer shots and the video output seems to be so so good.The northern lights photo were really good :) Could you pls tell me what gear you use for video and still photography :) Thank you :) - A Fan from INDIA :)
jason D Hello and thank you for the feedback :) I use a Canon HF-G10 as my main camera and a Nikon D7000 with 24-70 mm f/1.8 G lens as a secondary camera.
Thank you Bjørn Nyland :) Much appreciated. I just love seeing Tesla Motors driven everywhere thanks to superchargers.Wish Tesla Motors comes to India ;) Tc Do continue your good work. Bye :)
I can't wait for wifey to get her drivers license. She is going to drive the Millenium Falcon so hard like there is no tomorrow by the look of how she handled the golf cart :-P
Florian Schmid I have no idea what it was. But it's working fine now. It was fixed for free, even though the warranty ran out after 100k km. In Norway we have an extended "warranty" that is independent on mileage. That applies to anything from mobile phones to PC, washing machines, clotes, etc.
Bjørn Nyland Today, I played all your videos you've made since January, one-by-one. When I got to the teaser of the Europe road trip and to the scene, where you say "the Millenium Falcon is bleeding out", and that you're somewhere stuck and it's holiday there, (and I saw the windshield wiper thing before) I was thinking "what the heck? Will be some additional issue coming up there?" and "How can Bjørn get back home, when the Falcon breaks down?". Couldn't wait to get to Part 2 to see, how the trip ends. I was soo happy, to see, you didn't have something serious or something additional on your way back, and it was a happy end. Nice video with some tension built-in :-).
Bjørn Nyland It will be nice to see You in UK and see how You can handle left side driving :D and if possible it will be nice to meet You somewhere near Cambridge. Great vid ofc and really long trip both of You took.
Adam Dorety I didn't go that far in a single charge. I just accumulated several stops (as the video shows). It's not very interesting to see all the supercharging stops anymore.
Bjørn Nyland How much of a difference would you say there is between the estimated kilometer range shown on your screen after a full charge and the actual kilometers driven? Are we talking 80 % or something like that?
So the windscreen wiper was fixed easily by tesla in the end? Also, out of curiosity, since you always use typical range on the display, do you find that it is most accurate that way to calculate the route instead of seeing a bigger range figure and seeing it drop quicker?
Brian Mok Tesla fixed the wiper motor when we came back home. I prefer typical because I'm so used to it. And in Norway, typical will in many situations be very close to my real consumption. Usually I consume about 200 Wh/km and typical is 188 Wh/km.
Ripper X There are many public holidays in Norway in May. So because of that, it was suitable for us to take weekend trips to Amsterdam and Berlin. On top of that, I have a full-time job at the University of Oslo.
I love Germany too. That beer Saxe or whatever its called is like 10%. Next time I'm there I'm going to get some just to see if its remotely drinkable! Plus I think you should stick to road trip videos. Your singing is so bad. Hahaha
zoidberg444 The large beer cans are called Faxe and we call it "hobos death" in Germany for a good reason - it's bad taste ;) The 5 Liter can-barrels are drinkable, you can have them from many different brands.
Love your video! We had the same experience with the Superchargers! Totally unknown services and not great locations! Check out our video 😊 not as long or detailed as yours! Great work!!
I hate to say it but its getting kind of boring (in a good way) with all the Superchargers in Europe now. No more struggling trying to find slower chargers to get enough charge to get to the next Supercharger. It's simply leap fogging between Superchargers. You probably need to make a trip to the North of England and Scotland as there is only one Supercharger here at the moment :-) th-cam.com/video/fC2H5DU94Mg/w-d-xo.html
Clifford Rutley he should visit Eastern Europe (Poland, Czech, Hungary etc) - no superchargers at the moment, and revisit it in 2016/2017 when they will appear. It would be similar distance like from Oslo to Paris
G'Day Bjorn. I was just watching a TechnoBuffalo video: th-cam.com/video/CDcKwDy8c58/w-d-xo.html on the Tesla Model 3 (supposedly) and noticed what appears to be a snipped section of one of your videos, and added it to theirs (driving through a tunnel, with the blue lights shining on the roof). I'm not sure if they have your permission to use it, but I thought you had better know (just in case it has been stolen). Cheers, Greg. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, just bringing this to your attention.

SC Tjen Thanks for watching :)
great video,thanks for sharing your experience with your tesla with us.looking forward for the next trip!
***** Thanks for watching :)
yeah, sprayed on water repellent is a must. On highway speed, no wipers needed. Makes driving in the rain so much safer! Thx for sharing!
robert Yes, indeed. Rainx have become a drug for me now :)
yay, i probably RainX the windshield at least once every other month. Especially when rain is in the forecast before long drives.

+MannidonnaXT We should have met for a bratwurst or currywurst :) I might be able to keep the Millennium Falcon if enough people rent it :)
1. Yeah we should have.
2. That would be great!
I really love your trips, this one is very nice! :)
Hey cool, I always go to the McDonalds in Hirschberg and now you've been there in the supercharger! :D

The SMA inverter goes between the solar panels and the electric grid. No batteries in the equation normally..
39:34 good idea, Tesla could create some "entertainment while charging" suggestions for the superchargers !
Dear Born there is error in the name of clip. It's part 2
Great video

Hi Bjorn,
Curious why isn't there any Super Chargers in Ireland?
Luvin the videos! Thanks...

Autolib shut down last year (2018) ... I guess next time in France you'll need to find a different charger network.
I can't wait for wifey to get her drivers license. She is going to drive the Millenium Falcon so hard like there is no tomorrow by the look of how she handled the golf cart :-P

What was the issue with the Windscreen Wipers? Motor defect or a blown Fuse?
Florian Schmid I have no idea what it was. But it's working fine now. It was fixed for free, even though the warranty ran out after 100k km. In Norway we have an extended "warranty" that is independent on mileage. That applies to anything from mobile phones to PC, washing machines, clotes, etc.

Zoli1972s Thanks for watching :)
Why not England yet? We would think that there are a number of good Nimber possibilities.
Carolyn Turner We are planning on going to UK this summer. My wife got a tourist visa for 6 months now.
Bjørn Nyland Cool. Looking forward to see those videos, too.
Bjørn Nyland It will be nice to see You in UK and see how You can handle left side driving :D and if possible it will be nice to meet You somewhere near Cambridge. Great vid ofc and really long trip both of You took.
At 59:25 you went over 400 miles on a charge, they are only rated for up to 300, is that possible that you went that far? Or is it a typo
Adam Dorety I didn't go that far in a single charge. I just accumulated several stops (as the video shows). It's not very interesting to see all the supercharging stops anymore.
Why do you use the box which limits your charging to 13 A if the original tesla-thing does the same but charges with 16A?
Du må endre på tittelen på videoen. Det står part 1 ;)
But ..but..what about the wipers? What was wrong?
Bjørn Nyland How much of a difference would you say there is between the estimated kilometer range shown on your screen after a full charge and the actual kilometers driven? Are we talking 80 % or something like that?
So the windscreen wiper was fixed easily by tesla in the end? Also, out of curiosity, since you always use typical range on the display, do you find that it is most accurate that way to calculate the route instead of seeing a bigger range figure and seeing it drop quicker?

Bjørn Nyland Amazing trip and video! But I wonder about the Nimber delivery to Stockholm. An extra trip after back home in Oslo?
Bjorn the title says part 1 while the video says part 2 :S
Why did part 2 take SO LONG to come out?
Ripper X There are many public holidays in Norway in May. So because of that, it was suitable for us to take weekend trips to Amsterdam and Berlin. On top of that, I have a full-time job at the University of Oslo.
Hey Bjørn,
How much of a percentage do you add to your charging? Is it 30% or more?
Ray Bevins In Norway, 10 % more. In Sweden/Denmark and most other European countries, 30-40 % more. In Germany, 70 %.
How come your videos only offers 360p nowdays? I miss the 720p .. :)
taztaz79 I don't know why you only get 360p. On my computer it shows 1080p as the highest resolution.
1:06:43 to far away ? lol
I love Germany too. That beer Saxe or whatever its called is like 10%. Next time I'm there I'm going to get some just to see if its remotely drinkable!
Plus I think you should stick to road trip videos. Your singing is so bad. Hahaha
zoidberg444 The large beer cans are called Faxe and we call it "hobos death" in Germany for a good reason - it's bad taste ;) The 5 Liter can-barrels are drinkable, you can have them from many different brands.
The begin is linke Part 1
37:26 dat dog tho...

Are you a Thai? Your second language sound's familiar.

Bjorn in Berlin: th-cam.com/video/KB8rBowUNDI/w-d-xo.html
CCCRadio Great times in Berlin! We're still here and will be leaving Monday morning.
Bjørn Nyland Where are you heading to? Home? Hopefully not yet?
Tesla need to put their software on a diet and do some code optimisation. The screen lag is getting annoying !
G'Day Bjorn. I was just watching a TechnoBuffalo video:
