When I was a kid 60 years ago nobody could separate me from my jeans. In those days in New Jersey, USA we called them dungarees. Thanks for another Wonderful road trip.
Damn, Tesla community is the best. Some people complain about charging time, but beside that, you meet great people at Supershargers, you having a lot of discussions, and with this "feature", time flies ;) Too bad i'm 16 and don't own a Tesla (and where i live : 0 Superchargers)
damn Bjorn, i can't believe how much your channel has grown! congrats my man. and btw, I'm glad you get to now experience autopilot on your road trips---its awesome isn't it?
You really deserve that car for everything you have gone through, I am sure Tesla has learned alot from all of your testing aswell. And showcasing how to use electric cars in daily life
Hey Bjorn, great video as always. Not sure if you know, but using plain old soap, water and a gentle scrub with dryer sheets (Bounce, Downy, etc) removes bugs nicely off the paint.
Bjorn, get a product to help you remove the insects from your car. Apply it, wait for 5 minutes (more or less) and then wash the car. If you can't wash it, use a microfibre towel to remove the bugs to prevent scratches in the paint.
I spotted my first Tesla X while on holiday in L.A at around the time Bjorn was over there last march. Haven't yet seen one over here in the UK, there is a lack if supercharges over here and the roads are overcrowded.
Bjorn, tackling the insect issue: there is actually an active spray you can buy at gas stations. It is usually used before the carwash to let go the remains of the insect. It should help.
holy shiiieeeett so many freaking bugs... huummm Optimus Prime is the Bug catcher hahaha, I usually use the windshield clean product to clean the bugs / insects that are glued to the bumper and front glass I lay or spray ( plenty product) in the affected areas and let the product act for about 15 to 20 minutes and often use water to help moisten the freaking bugs abd then with a wet cloth I remove easily without damaging the paint.
Bjørn you should definitively check the PPF (Paint Protection Film) for Optimus. That will help keeping its paint nice and protected from bugs and even small scratches during your amusing road trips.
Another great vid Bjorn! Looking forward to your test results with smaller wheels. Looks like the Millenium Falcon was much better in the storage & sleeping department than Model X. Hope Elon swallows a bit of his pride and offers Model X with folding middle row seats in the future, classic example of placing style over form with those silly middle pod seats.
Thanks for sharing! The energy consumption is staggering high..Makes me wonder if MX 60D makes any sense at all. 420wh/mile translates into 143 miles when fully charged. After taking 20 miles as safety cushion the real usable range is down to only 120 miles. And you are really just doing highway cruising at medium speed at moderate temperature. Hot/cold weather, heavy traffic, 75 mph cruising will drop that range even lower..
Keep in mind that this is a P90D with 22" wheels. A 60D is more efficient and will most likely have 20" wheels. Take a look at my videos of 90D and 20" Slipstream wheels in USA: th-cam.com/video/8vyscKLbo0A/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/XoSME0lsD7U/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/1HTmm-LrEBA/w-d-xo.html
@19:00 You only seem to know swear words in German 😂 BTW I read recently that Tesla considers to offer carwash service at Supercharger locations! I think it's a great idea 💡💧
@8.15 You are talking about tyoical km. Can you see that in the energy app? If you pull up the energy app it should be like a dottet line where typical km is, if you change to rated km it will lower the dottet line even more. I'm unsure if it is dottet line or not, but you should be able to see both lines typical when set to typical, and also the line that you are currently driving. Then you may not need to calculate the typical or rated. I could also be wrong. Great video! Love Optimus Prime:)👍👍👍
Hello Bjørn. To wash Optimus prime, the "waterless" cleaning kit you've been offered in San Diego would have been ideal. Maybe you could take it with you in a future road-trip and review/test it while Optimus prime is recharging.
Not sure why you don't use the the charging dialog and the trip tab within that to see how much extra range you want to have (ie. 10%). I use this regularly. You can use it while you are charging even!
Hey Bjorn: Tesla loaned me a P90DL for a week, and after a few days, I can really notice how much more energy per mi it used compared to my 85D on long trips. Of course it was mostly because of the driving habits. Having that much extra power seemed to result in more energy wasted.
It's not about the Ludicrous. But the performance motor in the rear is more powerful and less efficient than the smaller rear motor in 85D. That's why you consumed more energy.
I don't mean the difference in kwh usage as rated by the motors, I mean it was a lot harder to hit the rated miles. Does that make sense? For example, the P90DL charged to 90% was about 240~, but I would generally hit about 70% of that. Where as in my 85D, 90% is 244, and I would hit about 90% of that. I also think the added weight makes it harder to drive "eco" and you really have to be careful about manually braking.
D.E. Sarcarean P85D, P90D, etc has a larger motor. This larger motor consumes more energy than the smaller motors in 70D, 75D, 85D, 90D, etc. This is regardless of how you drive.
I know... and the rated miles (as reported by the car's software) takes that into account. I think maybe you are not running on much sleep today Bjorn.
For example, have you ever done a road trip test between two (say P90D and 90D) starting with the same RM? For example, start out with exactly 250RM each, drive the same road for 175 actual miles, then compare. I think you will find that there is a big difference. As I was saying, a P90DL and a 85D at 90% is almost the same RM (240ish) with the same firmware version.
Question for you sir. Do they charge you when you charge up the car at these supercharging stations? If yes how much does it cost per hour of charging in euros? Tx
And now ( news of November 2016 ) we hear that if you don't own or buy a tesla before the 1st of January 2017 And car is not delivered to you before April 2017, Then tesla will start to charge money for the super chargers use? The people who will still receive free super charging use will only be those who own a tesla car before the April 2017 deadline? No word on the cost of these new charging rates as of this time ( Nov 2016 )?
Brother Bjørn - great video as always! I cringed watching you subject Optimus Prime's beautiful paint job to the high pressure water nozzle! You might want to verify with other Tesla owners, but the pressure of those nozzles Stateside can induce paint weakening and subsequent chipping. Peace!
Interesting to see all the trash at the Danish Supercharger at about 38:00. I had this idea that Europeans were more careful than Americans in that department -- guess not! On a more positive note, I see that the Model X defroster grill is black, so it looks as if it does not reflect on the windshield as the Model S defroster vent does.
I hate to be that guy but Bjørn you should have let the guy with his family who made a trip to see you have with you in the Model X do a few Luda runs off the line. I think that would have made his day. Still great video and thanks for sharing.
At which supercharger was this? Watch part 2 and you will see that throughout the trip, I had a very tight schedule. Offering test drives/rides would have delayed my schedule even further.
That is why I made the point about the guy with the family who drove out to meet you. Others seem to have been at the supercharger locations to charge their cars this guy is a purely to see and meet you. Not saying the others where not fans of yours its just this guy not everyday gets to power-up a Tesla. Still again great videos. Not that I expect you to turn into the Tesla test site.
Denmark he was the one with the white small car. He was the tall dude in blue shirt who made the point about how he traveled from where they where vacationing to see you. th-cam.com/video/Uk7qHXbE0ss/w-d-xo.htmlm17s
Philip Biron I'd love to give people test rides. But unfortunately there was a crowd at each supercharger so it wouldn't be practical. Besides, I did mention the very tight time schedule, right? Watch part 2 when it comes out ;)
I watched some videos on how Google can identify different cars as well as pedestrians walking around and on bikes. They're on TH-cam. Really good job on all the videos you make. I like them all. I like when you make road trip videos and when you just talk on camera.
Maybe they have limited the speed at low SoC because low SoC is bad for the battery and they want to make people not discharging the battery that much, not because it is bad for the battery to charge at fast speeds at low SoC.
Elon is really getting his referal gift expenses paid for with all the PR you are doing with the model X. I think the reason the doors open automatically is to show everybody that Optimus Prime has arrived :-)
+Bjørn Nyland I agree. I would just be interesting from a scientific point of view what road conditions can still ne managed by autopilot (I am a mechanical engineer).
He used Tesla's superchargers to recharge his car. In the videos it shows recharging times of 50m; that's way too long, I thought that they were supposed to recharge in 20m in Tesla's superchargers. Can anyone explain this?
The 50 minutes is if I charged to 90 %. If you payed attention to what I said in the video, I rarely had to charge that much. Most of the time, 50-60 % is enough which takes 15-30 minutes.
I will always love the Model X. It is like you getting familiar with your Model 3. Wild to see how many on the road then vs now.
Slagelse... Haha 😂
Good to see you show off Doraemon the same way this year.
Bjorn you are most gracious Tesla host, that's why so many of us like you ;-),
Greater videos ! Keep them coming ! Safe travels!
When I was a kid 60 years ago nobody could separate me from my jeans. In those days in New Jersey, USA we called them dungarees. Thanks for another Wonderful road trip.
Going to bed,
oh a new Teslabjørn video, fuck sleep
Agreed!! 😂😂😂😂
I was just about to sleep then I SAW this, fuck me
hah, same
Right, hahahah. It's 4am and I have to work at 9....
Damn, Tesla community is the best. Some people complain about charging time, but beside that, you meet great people at Supershargers, you having a lot of discussions, and with this "feature", time flies ;) Too bad i'm 16 and don't own a Tesla (and where i live : 0 Superchargers)
shieeeeett ;)
"we need more juice...shiiiit" haha hilarious
I love your road trips! You are also so kind to let everyone see your car.
yes, first optimus prime video! Thanks for posting.
Love the lights on the Model X
Yes I've been waiting for this for a long time YES
I am very jealous. Optimus truly is a beast.
Thanks for yet another fantastic video Bjørn, looking forward for the next one !
Just had to watch this awesome video, before I go to sleep. Keep up the good work, I love your Roadtrip-Videos! :)
Great video, thank you Bjorn!
Was that the Millieum Falcon taxi @ 0:56 ?
It was a red Model S, yes.
Another comment - you met some really cool people!
I'm glad the nimber tasks are working out so well for you.
damn Bjorn, i can't believe how much your channel has grown! congrats my man. and btw, I'm glad you get to now experience autopilot on your road trips---its awesome isn't it?
I love your videos thank you for sharing
Awesome video, cant wait for part two and the nurburgring lap!
Man you deserved model X absolutely.
Great video!! Now I have to get some sleep💤
You really deserve that car for everything you have gone through, I am sure Tesla has learned alot from all of your testing aswell. And showcasing how to use electric cars in daily life
Finally a new video. Was waiting for this..
I'm laughing my ass of funny how you say shit 😂 good vid btw
Wow i cant wait to get my hands on a Model X!
Ahhh must save for later watching! Legendary Optimus Prime here we go!
Hey Bjorn, great video as always. Not sure if you know, but using plain old soap, water and a gentle scrub with dryer sheets (Bounce, Downy, etc) removes bugs nicely off the paint.

Sheiiiiit! Optimus Prime! Roll out!
I spotted my first Tesla X while on holiday in L.A at around the time Bjorn was over there last march. Haven't yet seen one over here in the UK, there is a lack if supercharges over here and the roads are overcrowded.
Bjorn, tackling the insect issue: there is actually an active spray you can buy at gas stations. It is usually used before the carwash to let go the remains of the insect. It should help.
I LOVED this video
YES! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! New background music for work. 😂
I know it must be a little annoying sometimes, but I think it's so cool you're meeting new friends at a lot of different super chargers.
I don't mind at all. Except for when I'm sitting inside the car eating cup noodles. Then I want to be alone :P
That would definitely be annoying, no one wants a lukewarm cup of noodles!
holy shiiieeeett so many freaking bugs... huummm Optimus Prime is the Bug catcher hahaha, I usually use the windshield clean product to clean the bugs / insects that are glued to the bumper and front glass I lay or spray ( plenty product) in the affected areas and let the product act for about 15 to 20 minutes and often use water to help moisten the freaking bugs abd then with a wet cloth I remove easily without damaging the paint.
Bjørn you should definitively check the PPF (Paint Protection Film) for Optimus. That will help keeping its paint nice and protected from bugs and even small scratches during your amusing road trips.
You have so many fans
Another great vid Bjorn! Looking forward to your test results with smaller wheels. Looks like the Millenium Falcon was much better in the storage & sleeping department than Model X.

Part 2 go go go 😄
Bjorn, you can get also 19' but with winter tyres! You can see it in the online store at model x section. I don' t know if it will be more economic.
The winter tires are not ready yet. Tesla told me it's not sure if it will be 19" or 20".
+Bjørn Nyland Ok. In the store picture looks like 19' rim and tyre anyway.
goforsteve That's not final design.
+Bjørn Nyland It is interesting they think about 19! The 20 will be there anyway. I guess the 19 will be for the off road :)
@19:00 You only seem to know swear words in German 😂 BTW I read recently that Tesla considers to offer carwash service at Supercharger locations! I think it's a great idea 💡💧
Stay strong optimus prime 😎😁

Then you may not need to calculate the typical or rated. I could also be wrong. Great video! Love Optimus Prime:)👍👍👍
That typical is wrong and has been wrong for a long time.
+Bjørn Nyland Ok I see. I didn't think about that. Have a nice evening:)
Hello Bjørn. To wash Optimus prime, the "waterless" cleaning kit you've been offered in San Diego would have been ideal. Maybe you could take it with you in a future road-trip and review/test it while Optimus prime is recharging.
Not sure why you don't use the the charging dialog and the trip tab within that to see how much extra range you want to have (ie. 10%). I use this regularly. You can use it while you are charging even!
It doesn't take tunnels in account. That's why I never use it in Norway. So this is just an old habit.

WE MISS YOU MILLENIUM FALCON!!!!!
Question for you sir.
Do they charge you when you charge up the car at these supercharging stations?
If yes how much does it cost per hour of charging in euros?
Tx
They are free.
And now ( news of November 2016 ) we hear that if you don't own or buy a tesla before the 1st of January 2017
And car is not delivered to you before April 2017,
Then tesla will start to charge money for the super chargers use?

I cringed watching you subject Optimus Prime's beautiful paint job to the high pressure water nozzle! You might want to verify with other Tesla owners, but the pressure of those nozzles Stateside can induce paint weakening and subsequent chipping.
Peace!
The fan sound is crazy... 46:17 .
I work nights, and tonight is my night off and I've just woken.
Interesting to see all the trash at the Danish Supercharger at about 38:00. I had this idea that Europeans were more careful than Americans in that department -- guess not!
On a more positive note, I see that the Model X defroster grill is black, so it looks as if it does not reflect on the windshield as the Model S defroster vent does.
It's because the trash bin was full. The trash is around the bin
Is it safety on the doors? if a child get stuck, does it open again? Or ?
Love your video, well done man.
BTW, How many supercharger in Norway When Tesla just opened it's first shop?
oh shieet, you were so close by? Greetings from Eastfriesia :D
when will you pass Cologne/Köln?
The roadtrip was some weeks ago.
I'm sure that the display showing 7 black seats sadly isn't a bug but more like the laziness of the software.
Can you show the car's wifi hotspot feature?
There isn't one
Was that a model S taxi at 0:56?
Yes
Bjorn can you include the cost of tolls on the road?
very nice björn :)
Smooth video! How can i find you on glympse ?
Hi Björn! I have a question. What does the button to the right of the touchscreen? Greetings from Sweden!
Open glove box.
+Bjørn Nyland Ok! I thought that it didn't have a glovebox. Have a great day!
Did you ever do the protective wrap for stone damage on the front of the car?
Would be nice to hear about that.
Will do ASAP.
Finally!!!
I hate to be that guy but Bjørn you should have let the guy with his family who made a trip to see you have with you in the Model X do a few Luda runs off the line. I think that would have made his day. Still great video and thanks for sharing.

Philip Biron At what supercharger?
Denmark he was the one with the white small car. He was the tall dude in blue shirt who made the point about how he traveled from where they where vacationing to see you. th-cam.com/video/Uk7qHXbE0ss/w-d-xo.htmlm17s
Philip Biron I'd love to give people test rides. But unfortunately there was a crowd at each supercharger so it wouldn't be practical. Besides, I did mention the very tight time schedule, right? Watch part 2 when it comes out ;)
Is that fan noise normal for Model X when charging? I don't remember hear that from your Model S...
That's normal for both S and X.
What do you think about Googles self driving technology? It would be cool if you talked about what other companies are doing in the autopilot space
I don't have any experiences with them.
I watched some videos on how Google can identify different cars as well as pedestrians walking around and on bikes. They're on TH-cam. Really good job on all the videos you make. I like them all. I like when you make road trip videos and when you just talk on camera.
Mr. Nyland what do you use to edit your videos...?
Please try Launch Mode !
Was there a ever a moment yet in which you wished the X Hand normal doors instead of the Falcon Wing doors?
Not yet.
When are you in Holland?
When are you going to start calling it energon instead of juice? ☺
True!
I'd be concern about the white seats over time getting dirty.
It’s kind of funny how every Tesla charger station is next to a Shell, Burger King and McDonald’s
Please don't tell me I'm the only one who dances to the road trip music
Those headlights! Are the LED ones in the Model S as good?
Probably are, exactly the same headlights
Maybe they have limited the speed at low SoC because low SoC is bad for the battery and they want to make people not discharging the battery that much, not because it is bad for the battery to charge at fast speeds at low SoC.
Did you rubbed the bugs in the end?
Yes
Haha
Why were the fans blowing so loudly @ 46:00? Sounds scary, haha.
Cooling down the battery because of 100+ kW supercharging.
Oh I see. Does it blow this hard every time?
Bruce Ou Yes
u should visit ring garage when u visit nurburgring again
Where did you learn to speak english so good?
I guess MMORPG :D
If this is true i am REALLY amazed!
51:29 how did they know you were coming?
Did you buy it in Leasing or credit ? Or cash
How To ! = tesla inc give him for free because he won referral contest in 2015
Aha thk for answer
That bird isnt dead, its sleeping!
Did you sleep at that Supercharger at 22:58?
tesla should sponsor you to show the car around!
he won the car
o wow
Dust Bowl How?!
Elon is really getting his referal gift expenses paid for with all the PR you are doing with the model X. I think the reason the doors open automatically is to show everybody that Optimus Prime has arrived :-)
Elon should spend a few hours watching these videos. But he's probably too busy getting to Mars :)
Wow, The Model X is really LOUD when charging! Was this also the case with the Model S?
Same with Model S. Charging at 100+ kW generates some heat.
Never noticed that, Thanks for the reply. Can't wait for my Model 3 ^_^
Det var inte så att du körde hem mot Norge på E6an i måndags kväll (efter kl 22)? Mötte en blå Model X kring Uddevalla någonstans :p
Nei, det var ikke meg.
Would love to See you test the autopilot more deeply, esp. on smaller and windy roads... You should be very cautious though.
I won't do that test because the autopilot was not designed for it. It's like testing to fly a medium sized drone indoors. Pointless.
+Bjørn Nyland I agree. I would just be interesting from a scientific point of view what road conditions can still ne managed by autopilot (I am a mechanical engineer).
So if you buy a Tesla Model X, you're not only getting an awesome and wonderful car, but you also gain friends as you drive along the way...
He used Tesla's superchargers to recharge his car. In the videos it shows recharging times of 50m; that's way too long, I thought that they were supposed to recharge in 20m in Tesla's superchargers. Can anyone explain this?
The 50 minutes is if I charged to 90 %. If you payed attention to what I said in the video, I rarely had to charge that much. Most of the time, 50-60 % is enough which takes 15-30 minutes.
I didn't notice that!! Thank you and congrats for the excellent video!
Seems like the x seats are really a problem. They need to learn from Skoda Yeti etc..
You are nice guy so you meet same guys around. Enjoy
This was when the ultra white seats were white
Why did not ask for 20 inch weels on delivery ?
Because:
- I got 22" for free
- I wanted to test and review 22"
SHEeeeeeee : )
