- Epic road trip from Oslo to North Cape and back. Part one covers the trip to North Cape. In this video there are a lot of shaky handheld shots. I'm sorry for that! I will reduce the amount in the future videos.

Watching this in 2021, with all the super chargers/fast chargers/50 kw chargers we have now shows how far we have come in 6 years but also how brave you were taking such a trip, and how patient Ammery was doing it with you. And this classic Bjorn is more or less the same as modern Bjorn - your cameras have improved but even back then you knew how to shoot a great video
Likeable main character, pretty wife, excellent car, some good editing. All the ingredients for a great video.
Thank you for the feedback :)
Hey Bjoern,
Your videos are awesome, I enjoy all of them. And this one is especially nice, with a kind of warm personal touch if I could say so. Thank you very much.
Oh! And the Norwegian scenery is astounding.
Thank you :)
SJAJNO !!! Gledao sam 2 dela po Evropi i sad ovaj jedan deo po Norveškoj sve u jednom dahu .Hvala ti šta si ovjekovečio pionirske dane elektromobila tj borbu sa punjačima na svojim putovanjima po prelepim predelima. Nadam se da ćeš uskoro moći da siđeš na Balkan bez straha gde da napuniš baterije ali sumnjam da će superpunjači biti dostupni za normalno cca. 150 km korištenje uskoro. No kod nas je sve jeftino u odnosu na ostatak evrope tako da se isplati ostati duže no šta ti ostaješ dok puniš Teslu.p.s.Od vremena snimanja tvog puta do danas u našoj zemlji nažalost nije ugrađen ni jedan brzi super punjač...Hvala na lepim filmovima!
Having discovered you 10 days ago, I really enjoyed this epic. I love the combination of Tesla camaraderie, family time, newlywed romance, and the easy bring connections. Keep safe/lycka till!
Thank you for watching :D
Gentle, real and strangely addictive personal travelogue. Norway looks great.
You deserve a Tesla sponsorship for your work.
Dear Santa, this year I wish I had 19" cyclone wheels ;)
Bjørn Nyland And folding mirrors!
In addition to great Tesla info, a beautiful Norway travelogue. The Tesla community in Norway is great. Can't wait to join next year.
After watching Bjørn on his epic trip in the e-tron GT in search of the pizza, it is cool to watch just how different EV traveling was only 7 years ago.
Thank you for another great video! The scenery was breathtaking and I enjoyed the adventure along with you and Ammery!
Thank you for watching :)
Nice to see the "early" Tesla days. It also brought back lot of memories. We cycled from Trondheim to Andenes in 1993. No eBikes ;). And been back to friends we made in Risøyhamn many times in winter and summer. Been in Bodø couple of times. Still friends there. Also in Tromsø and in Alta. eBike trip 25 yr later planned for next yr.
wow...that was awesome. I cannot imagine how much work it was just to make this trip...let alone do all the filming and editing. Hats off to you and Ammery! And thank you for the wonderful education of all things Tesla and Norway (and throw a little Thai in there as well!)!
Thank you for watching :)
This is very cool. I love the commentary and also the tour around your mum's store. I love Thai food. I'm saving up for my Model S at the moment so soaking up your reports, keep them coming.
Excellent. Fun to watch. The big dog standing scene was funny.
Don
Thank you for watching :) The dog was in fact bigger than my wife :D
Thanks Bjørn, in this video, I learned so many about charging Tesla Car outside supercharger area
This is great, after watching many of your videos in the last weeks i finally got to see this - it feels like Teslabjorn origins, the movie!
Just finished watching your North Cape #1 adventure. Wow! I enjoyed it very much. Quite the charging challenge in northern Norway but very beautiful scenery. Hope you have a safe journey back to Oslo.
Top notch as usual, loved every second of it! Don't be so hard on yourself, everything was great from my perspective. I just might have to drive up to nordkapp myself now, what an adventure! Loved the white pearlescent Tesla, blue one was sexy too. The EV-community seems to be so welcoming and warm, I almost want to buy a Tesla just to be a part of the community. Looking forward to part 2! -Nytern
Thank you. Yes, it was amazing how much help I got from my fellow Tesla drivers. I told all of them that if they come to Oslo we will cook delicious Thai food for them :P
Thank you for the road-trip :-)
I didn't plan to see it all, but I did. And all at once.
The time just passed.
You are a good Tv maker/ host.
Thank you :)
Absolutely amazing! Joy to watch you guys having amazing adventures :) Keep it rockin and were all with you at least in these vids :)
Thank you :)
I just finished watching. Now I can't wait for part 2!
Fantastic adventure and great attention to detail, especially the corrections you added while editing to tell us what you meant to say! I will tell my friends at the Washington DC Tesla store to watch your videos and provide feedback.
Thank you for the feedback :)
Hi Bjorn,
after the teaser i was very excited and this video was really nice to watch and enjoy. i´ll be waiting for part 2. Also really nice video editing.
greetings from Stuttgart/ Germany
Michael
Danke Schön for watching :)
Hi Bjorn,
A fan from India.. After seeing your videos i feel like watching Norway by myself. As always awesome :)
Looking forwards for your Europe trip video
Very nice Video! You are the first EV-Guy on North-Cape! Gratulations and I wish you and your wife all the best here from germany!
Thank you. I was not the first Tesla to North Cape though. Frederic Hauge did it in August 2013.
One of your best episodes so far. Fully enjoyed watching your adventures in a Tesla.
Thank you for the feedback :)
I adore your videos, that gives really desire for having a Tesla!! Good continuation. Cédric
That's a nice suprise! Waiting for HD and I will watch :)
Its already in full 1080p HD...!!! ...??
Thx. Now I have a good video after my work and now relaxing
Grrreat stuff & whatta challenge. I especially enjoyed the part in Bodø and onwards.Great scenery! Nice music. He, he: "Uncharged territories".
Hi Bjørn, I really like your video's so natural. Watching your video's makes me happy ;). Nice to learn the Tesla in daily use. Take care and continue your great work. thanks
Thank you for the feedback :)
Norway is beautiful! Thanks for another great video!
Another excellent video! I'll soon watch part 2. Norway is indeed a superb country to drive trough. Or will be even better when there are supercharger stations everywhere. :-)
I noticed in one clip your wife didn't have any makeup on… Good! Tell her she doesn't need it!!! She looks extremely pretty without it… you lucky son of a gun! :)
of course as always, i mean no disrespect.
Also there isnt many videos id want to watch that more than an hour long..
Yours are an exception!! i dont care how long any Tesla video is!
Thank you, Mike :)
Bjørn the video is great. Thank you for making it. I hope the part 2 will be uploaded soon.
Part 2 will be out in 1-2 weeks.
Great video! Seems like you captured all of Norways seasons in this short trip. Now I'm sitting here waiting for part 2 :)
Another great video. Looking forward to part 2! Keep up the good work.
Thank you :)
Great video , Bjørn. Your a pioneer for the tesla electric car. Keep up the amazing videos
Thank you for the feedback :)
Really enjoy your videos, Bjørn. Somehow, they make really compelling viewing. Great to see a real user-experience of owning a Tesla over a long period and driving in all weather conditions.
You've got me saying "What the heck?!", "Ja", and "Mmmm" all the time though. :-)
Keep up the good work! Would love to own one of those magnificent cars, but I'm afraid that I'll have to enjoy the experience through your own travels.
Drive safely and happy travels!
Thank you for the feedback :) Mmmm... yeah :P
Thanks for ruining my sleep.. ;) Awesome video as always.. Can't wait for part 2.. :)
Thank you :)
Ok so you are the crazy guy I saw with a Tesla in the North Cape! Amazing. Norway is amazing. I drove from London to North Cape it was incredible, but I get 1000km range per fill on my car so I didn't have as much adventure as you. It's pretty easy with a 70L diesel tank.
Excellent video, next time please include more driving footage with the gauges in view to we can see a more complete driving experience. Norway is very pretty; I had an old friend in Kristiansand.
Btw: Looking forward to an Update on you solar cells - thanks for the good content, and good humor!!
Thank you for this awesome video! :D watched it all the way.
Thank you for watching :)
In 2 evenings now I have watched your trips for almost 3 hours ! :-) It`s charging station at Beitostølen, so now I have no excuse for not ordering a Tesla for going to my cabin in the mountains. Thanks Bjørn, you should get some % from Tesla for every new customer you have made them :-)
Every customer who bought a car because of me should send Tesla an email to notify them. I don't want %, I want new 19" cyclone wheels, power folding mirrors, red calipers, etc ;)
I loved the "Tesla watching chair": Tesla Model S videos: #8 North Cape part 1 :-)
Yeah, it's great :) And beer in the fridge.
Great video. I learned, enjoyed and laughed.
I love the flowing curve of Norway's motorways. It makes driving a little bit more interesting than driving on straight motorways..
lovely..i saw 2 norwegian regged teslas here in ullared sweden..love em..i want one sooon..nice vid :)
Pretty trip, pretty couple, pretty family, pretty pets ;)
By the way, i think while charging the Tesla can also show the KW (presently they just show Amps and Volts, Volt x Amps = Watt).
I think instead of showing 12A, 16A (xyz voltage), it'll be standard and easy if at least Tesla shows KW (while charging too).
love the cruising and charging Nice car
This dog is really huuuuge 😳 Greetings from Germany :)
Makes me wish I was there in 2014 watching these videos..
Bellona, Sønnico and Salto have recently opened nine 7.4 - 22 kW chargers from Trondheim to North Cape. Most of the chargers are 22 kW. This makes traveling to North Cape much more convenient. Good job! :D

BTW: When do you plan to come to Nordschleife?
U spend days driving for a little $ profit delivering items but you wear down your tesla model s tire and resale value? I dont see any advantage in that beside enjoying the ride, confused.
Isn't riding a Tesla gratification enough?! ;)
Superchargers from Tesla are also coming. Winter 2014/2015
www.teslamotors.com/supercharger
Antonino Zeidler I'm planning on going to Nordschleife this summer.
what a adventure. thanks for share with us. great work :)
I'm glad I found your channel. 👍👍👍
Please, dont upload it so late next time.. i spent almost all night watching this:)
Also, in the future videos, please explain more about the charging and about the red/blue plugs.
Hehe, glad the oriental markets over there are well stocked with the right products :).
Just amazing ! Brilliant video, brilliant for tesla , your like a pioneer into the unknown for tesla travel :)
Great video as usual. It assures me in my initial impression that every Norwegian speaks fluent english ;)
Most young people speaks fluent English. But people over 60 usually doesn't speak that well.
Bjørn Nyland Nevertheless it's an outstanding percentage for a country where English isn't and never has been an official language. Looking forward for part two!
Nooo! I really, really want to sleep now and you do this. Now I'm not sleeping before 2:30 AM. Thank you.
EDIT: No HD yet... So I'm going to sleep! ;)
Yeah, the raw video uploaded was 5.3 GB. So TH-cam need some time to re-encode it in different resolutions.
5:20 AM for me... :D Thx, your videos are great :)
Bjørn Nyland I've just watched your movie (hard to call it a clip when it's 91 minutes long :) ). That's amazing trip you've had there! You can really understand how good superchargers are when you cannot use one :)
When Tesla is planning to lift that 26A limit? That extra 6 amps would make you love CEE red 32A plugs even more as it shoud replenish about 100 km of range per hour :)
About that 16A standard plug: If you use Shuko -> blue 16A plug adapter you can use that portable "wall mounted" box to pull 3 more amps and as at low speeds battery managment eats some conciderable power it can shorten charging significantly. Or even Shuko -> blue 32A plug connected to UMC with current reduced.
As you are clearly not an electrician :) That button and lever in that box is an RCD, kind of fuse that protects from current leaks (pops off when leakage current exceeds certain value). If test button doesn't work there is no power in the system (or RCD is broken, hence "test" name for testing RCD). Other protip: Circuit breakers (regular ones like Legrand S30X B16) are designed to represent heat effects in cables so they don't switch immediately when they detect overcurrent (they do if it's big, 3-5 times rated current for B series as a short circuit protection). You can draw 32A from regular Shuko protected by B16 for about 30s then you have to decrease to... 18-23A as this is the current range that switches off bimetallic long-period overcurrent protection in typical breaker... At 30 degrees celsius :) So when fuse box, connectors and cables are in the cold you might be able to pull like twice the rated current continously without switching off or damadging anything. Expect that cables and plugs will be warm to touch as this rating are based at 70*C insulation rating for cables. But Shhh... You've never heard that from me, ok? ;)
Edit: Corrected mistake
awesome dude!!! i wish i was in ur place..... great car man!!
Nice one again...your mom got pretty big Asian store..seems like almost everything Asian food in there
Yea, finally a new Video! Great! :)
Cant wait to see it, but i have to wait :(
This is just a pure awesome video. Just so relaxed and enjoying it chilling out! I have a couple of questions though, for all those wine and beer bottles you had, do you need like a transportation inventory to show, in case police stops you? How does it work in there? And so cool we got to see your family this time, how did your family end up in Norway? and Lastly, you talked that your brother is in Prague, which made me wonder, are you planing a road trip to central Europe? That would be so amazing to see as well! Keep up the good work, I'm always waiting for a new video! :)
As long as I don't cross the border with the alcohol, there's no need for a declaration. My mom moved to Norway in 1983 with her three kids. Yes, I'm planning a road trip this summer. New videos are coming soon :)
38:48 - Those "hot & spicy" noodles on the left are my absolute favorite noodles! Too bad my local Asian store stopped selling them.
Fantastic video. That's a big dog by the way :D
Thank you :) Yeah, big dog!
Another excellent video. Thank you!
People in Norway seem pretty nice :)
Hi,
Enjoy watching your videos, and I'm considering buying a model S myself.
When you post statistics for the legs you drive, could you please also include the average speed and the actual power consumption (including utility as heat, lights etc), since the onboard calculation only include the motor power consumption (if I understand it correctly)
Also looking forward to part II
Unfortunately, the car doesn't show average speed. I tried calculating average speed in my early videos. But it was too complicated because I sometimes have many stops to shoot videos. I also tried Google My Tracks. The problem there is that when the phone switches to EDGE-mode, there will be noise in my videos. To limit that, I sometimes switches to flight mode before shooting critical videos.
There is no way for me to measure heat, lights, etc. Only Tesla can see those numbers.
That was a parallel printer port cable ... have not seen that in a while ... No autopilot on that car ... it came out at the end of this year ... 2014 - Mobile eye. I have that! What a difference it made.
Nice trip and video, and one hour video is long but ... love watch it all long
I'm glad you like'em long :P
ahahaha, without joke the landscape of the North just amazing, I went in North Sweden in winter 2 years ago and it's incredible and exotic, just wait part 2 now.
Now I have to Charge my computer because of your long videos :-)
That dog was HUGE!
Woohoo new video thanks Bjorn XD
I can see you will break the 200Wh/km barrier this spring !!
Hey did you know Final Cut Pro has an digital image stabiliser function? But it will crop the footage a bit ..
Thank you :) Yes, I'm aware of the stabilization features. However, the shaky shots are just too shaky to be fixed by software. Especially when I enter/exit the car, the camera shakes a lot. I also tend to flip the camera too much forward/backwards.
What a change in 6 years...
Hi, Bjorn. Love to see your video again. It is very long video but surprisingly i am not feeling sleepy. The views is more better than your usual videos and it is nice of you to show us your mom's place. It is a very long drive back to your mom's place. I heard that tesla is selling very well in norway so i think this will give some pressure for tesla to build more superchargers. Actually i am quite interested to know who is financing the superchargers ? Tesla by itself or cooperation with the property owners ? Is tesla has to rent the space with the property owners ? who is liable for the daily electricity bills ?
One thing i salute on you is that you are patience man whom can wait for so long for the car to be charged and of course your wife too must also given the credit. It must be a tiring ride with all the waiting but i guess the country side views is paying off. Anyway, can't wait for the second half of the video. Cheers !
Tesla is selling very well in Norway. It's the second most selling country in the world. Only USA sells more. When buying a 85 kWh Tesla, about $3000 is for supercharging. When Tesla sold almost 1500 cars in March, they get about $4.5 mill for superchargers. I also heard that the superchargers use the same chargers that are onboard in the cars. The price for a supercharger is claimed to be lower than a CHAdeMO.
Yes, it's usually a very long wait for the charge. We spend the time eating, walking the dog (part 2) and getting some much needed sleep. So it's not really that bad. But of course, a 30-60 minute stop on SC would be a lot better!
Love the Toyota rv4 electric vehicle part of the video! That the Toyota uses the general motor ev1 battery from the ev1 cars that all got recalled by General Motors that basically killed of the electric car for over 20 years .... and I love that the battery is performing like new after 14 years of usage...which kills the argument that battery's are bad for the environment when about 96% of the battery's uses today in Toyota hybrids and electric cars are recyclable .....
Yeah, I love it too. People who haven't watched "Who killed the electric car" and "The revenge of the electric car" should watch them both before buying a Tesla :P
You used to see a very small fleet of those RAV4s near me at the Niagara Power Project . . . but for some unknown reason you see no EVs or even chargers there these days. Down the road at the Falls, New York State Parks has some GEM vehicles, and there's a couple of ChargePoint stations in the parking lots, but not yet any SCs. Yet all of that world famous juice is being generated only a stone's throw away! :-)
North Cape is frekkin far up north. It is about as close to the North Pole as the northern tip of Alaska!
Yes, indeed! If you look at 71° north is where Siberia and Greenland is. Ice Road Truckers don't even drive that far north :) I don't think anyone have charged at 11 kW that far north :P
PS: lovely idea of the comfy sheep skin Tesla Watching Chair - great sense of humour, - I'm not a wine expert but ask me about beer (fridge door opens)...
I get my tesla in two weeks, I can't wait. I am also excited for part two of this video, when is it coming out bjorn? I can't wait to see the trouble with the dogs lol.
Part two is coming out this week.
Bjørn Nyland
Hej
1 I´ve been following your roadtrips for a while now i enjoy them very much, big fan, i hope someone have send Elon a link to your youtube page on twitter :)
You are making som great free marketing for him.
2 The week is almost over hint hint ;-)
9:39 haha they were waiting for you to pull off before they got out!
wow, so glad I found this video. Humble beginnings Bjørn. Can't believe you've been on YT for a decade, and did you have any idea you'd be solo YT by 2018?
41:25 you and your brothers look like triad members on that photo ^^
It looks like camping is very popular in Norway, just like Canada.
It would be nice if the charger owners would put a label around the socket 2 indicate the volt and max amp...
Hi Bjorn,
I very much like your videos. They are really awesome.
Btw, I'd like to say something if you don't mind. I know it is not my business. It appears to me that your gorgeous wife is very quiet (at least on the camera :P. I forgive me if I'm being rude.) So are Thai women like that in general or you've won a life time jackpot :D? Keep it up with your great Tesla videos. Cheer..
finally a video from tesla bjorn that i enjoy watching
I found your videos interesting and the fact that your brother lives 50km away from me is a funny coincidence :D He could probably tell you that Tesla is not yet very useful here if you want to do anything more than daily commute while charging in your garage though.
Juste Wow! :-) I love these videos! What great discoveries ... Certainly there are good things in this wonderful nyland import store .. ;-) Do you send yourself to Switzerland !? Sincerely Yves
Hey Bjorn do you watch F1 and if you do who's your favourite team/driver?
Oh and again awesome video.
Keep it going.
I don't watch F1 so I have no clue about the teams and rules :) Thank you for watching.
I've just checked on ABRP and it's 4 hours 23 mins total charging for this trip now in December 2021. Progress.
You should come to Florida I'd do a road trip with you in my polluting car :( Can't afford a Tesla yet! But our beaches are great! haha
NIce video Björn! Thanks for the upload. Just a few questions mate: How happy are you with your decision to buy tesla on a 1-10 scale? Do you think tesla will keep expand and have major impact in the future?
I'll give it a 9. Yes, Tesla will keep expanding and grow to be one of the biggest EV car brand.
I guess you would have to time and log length of all the individual runs, and add them together for the leg if one should keep track of the average speed. I guess that's adds a bit of work load when you make the videos (but it would be interesting to know...)
Regarding the actual power consumption, does the vehicle range calculation take height for the additional power consumption for utilities when calculating the actual range? (does 390 km of calculated "true" range actually get you 390 km of range?)
Also, It would be useful though to have access to the actual kwh's received (or used) per charge to keep track of the battery capacity (how else can you tell? The range calculation is based on previous driving, which consequently is constantly changing...)
Anyway, just curious...I enjoy your video's anyway!
It would be great if Tesla added average speed in the trip meters. It's just a small modification. My previous BMW and Renault had it. The range estimation is based on a fixed rate. People claim that typical range is 200 Wh/km. But my own long trips indicate that typical range is 180 Wh/km. So when I charge to 400 km, I have to average 180 Wh/km to get that range. If I average 200 Wh/km I get 360 km.
"Let her take a Selfie....." donk donk donk donk... I was referring to that song "let me take a selfie" :) :) Sweden is getting plenty of new chargers at the moment including Chademo-chargers! No superchargers yet though...
That was an adventure we have super charger in USA I wouldn't do it if there is no super charger. I notice that you changed your rims. How come?
Hi Bjorn! Excellent video - really enjoyed it and looking forward to part 2! I stayed watching your videos because I am interested in buying tye Tesla and wanted to get an owners view! So you've owned the car for 7 months now! How does it rate in comparison to other cars you've own i.e. BMW 5 series touring! I k know that one of the main benefits of owning an electric car is that you never have to pay for fuel again but how does the ownership experience feel when you need to look for a charging point and knowing that you may have to wait for hours to continue your journey?
The interior in BMW is still better, same is Hifi-Professional. But the ride and the big screen with it's remote access is just outstanding. So overall I'm very pleased with the Tesla.
When traveling far off the superchargers, charging can be a bit boring. But I've gotten used to the 22 kW chargers. I will usually arrive to a city and only need to charge a few hours at a 22 kW. While I'm charging I use Facebook, call/message people (Easybring) or just relax.
The limitation in the charging is just temporarily. In a few years it will be much better. So I'm not worried at all. This disadvantage is what we get in return of free toll roads, free ferries, free parking, etc.
Thanks so much for the reply Bjorn - much appreciated! What about Ammery? - How does she like the Tesla and hiw does the cope with waiting and sleeping in the car?
Sunil Nijran She likes it. She doesn't mind the waiting and sleeping either.
Great video again! Norway has a great countryview and a lot very nice people! Question: the Toyota RAV4 is homemade to a EV?
Thank you :) As far as I know, the Rav4 is a production car.
Bjørn Nyland Rav4 EV was a production EV from California build in order to comply with CARB regulations. They were later changed and most EV's were scrapped as they were only leased, not sold, possibly to avoid later problems with the need of keeping service network for few unusual cars. Somehow Toyota sold, or was persuaded to sell some of their Rav4 fleet to public with some "no service no warranty" agreement and that's how it's the only surviving example of "CARB" electric cars apart form few EV1 in museums.
I've seen an electric Rav4 in California 2 years ago as a National Park Service vehicle in Point Reyes.
Nice trip, but weather's a little cold there in Norway, the full battery may not last for 400km on road, is it?
It can last 400 km even in winter temperatures. I have proven it many times in my previous videos where I drove 375-380 km in one charge and still had more left.
