I tried my Tesla Model X P90DL on an offroad track in NAF Trafikksenter, Våler, Norway. To my surprise, the Model X did it quite well and was only stuck once in that very deep dip.
Tires used: Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8.

Let’s give him a round of applause for ruining his Tesla for our entertainment
+Calum Pierce The car was barely damaged. It looked way worse than it really was.
Great video by the way
@@bjornnyland I'm really glad to hear that
@@bjornnyland no need to make yourself feel better, the car was totalled lol
@@christopher7804 totaled? I guess you’ve never seen a totaled car before
"I dont want to scratch my car" rips the entire fender off
Multiple tests have shown that while AWD Teslas are great on the road. It doesn't translate to taking them off road or in over challenging situations.
i mean he didn't scratch his car at least
Coming back to this video after three years is just hilarious. It was actually the first of Bjørn‘s Videos I ever watched
lol the constant bings, its like the car is trying to tell you in binary "Excuse me but this is not what I am built for".
I'd smash that speaker the first week.. :p
Well. An off road vehicle not doing an off road work? Well it’s called Tesla
It’s called sensors, it tells you how close you are.
Jason .R the beeping is so annoying, it sounds like driving windows xp
@@jasasma7734 it's not an heavy/serious off-road vehicle. It's a crossover.
"Let's try to not ruin the car"
* keeps on ruining the car *
The bold text didn't work btw
Remove the spaces next to *
@@navb0tactual asterisks are spaced intentionally so it wont bold. Asterisks are an old school way of essentially quoting an unspoken action instead of spoken words
@@aidanhodge7090 True, just due to TH-cam's climate I assumed they were intending bold text.
That makes sense too.
Its a car, NOT an SUV. That's why, he's driving it as though it has any utility off road.
"... To my surprise, the Model X did it quite well and was only stuck once ..." You are really a "the glas is half full"-guy
Using a Model X for off-roading is like using high heels for rock climbing or a wool coat while swimming. 🤦♂️
Yeah but it's fun 😂
Armen Tangyan cybertruck
@Armen Tangyan Currently not a single one 🤔 If you want E-off-road cars, look for the technology build into the car and the way their suspension is made. The model X is way too bulky.
Well you should off-road in summer
And when you need to with a ModelX
I was expecting the comments to be way worse than this. You have a great fan base sir.
Omg thats what im saying.
"I'm not intentionally trying to ruin the car" is the best part :)
Hilarious! This proves that a Model X will go anywhere that a Jeep will go as long as the two are connected by a rope.
Sean Murphy hahahaha
Quattro is better🌚
aaaa ha ha ha ha
also, we need to see the e-tron offroading
it did better than the BMW X6 and other 'competing' vehicles
Different categories of vehicle, different tyres, experience of drivers.
“Ok now you know where I am” “here’s dhsknfnfisken and fidnsbhfjtmm on the Map”
Me: YES
sound mars for me
Tal3n xd
Lmao
He is in Norway Hahha eg er fra Norge=I am from Norway
**buggy gnvh**
"I'm not intentionally trying to ruin the car" Should be on your business cards.
Imagine Bjorn as a Tesla sales representative. :-)
"Short trip, just Bergen, Trondheim and back."
lel
Anton Maes I read this just as he said it
Oo shiiet
I saw that plastic bit framing the wheel arch come off during your first venture into the snow. I was waiting to see if you realized it was missing before placing a comment. I know it must have been an expensive experience, but just know we appreciate the entertainment, if that's any consolation.
@6:29 it pops off
Same
This guy is hilarious. “Is just a flesh wound...yaaah”
Hahahahhaah.
Monty Python quote. 😉
That accent.
Ohw ohh that’s mud?!
🤣🤣As soon as he said like jeremy clarkson my mind already said POWERRRRRR
my mind said arse hole
Lesson learned, this is no more offroad capable than any other 'crossover' pavement queen.
Thank you for doing this! Hopefully saves other owners trying the same.
I'm watching this and thinking, "If I had a model T, I'd show him"
Crosstrek would walk circles around this sad excuse for a crossover 😂😂😂
Likely worse, it weighs a lot more than others at 5500lbs or more.
@@noneyabizz8337 have you seen how much a G wagon weighs? Great offroader
@@Aikaramba12 it's full of tech, and it'd be more capable if it were lighter.
I think everyone agree to put a more “clickbaiting” title because this video deserves more views! Got so excited!!!
what? I don't think I've ever heard someone ask for more clickbait on youtube hahaha
Like Tesla Fail
How many of you found that beeping irritating as hell? I certainly did!
Lord Tech I thought I was the only one
I didn't think so@@adobeacrobat8747
Dude it's meant to irritate you because the car is intelligent enough to say that "This is not a good ground to drive me through" or "Don't drive me here idiot !" It is as if this car is alive and complaining...
seemed better than the stuff that happens in a Mercedes.
I have a 2019 Ram 1500 and it drives me nuts half the time with the park sensors, I couldn't imagine dealing with as many as a Tesla has! lol
“Oh we have some trees and shit here” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
anyone else see the the plastic fender flare come off and was like is he ever gonna notice
Yes. I saw right when it happened!!
"I dont want to scratch my car"
I didnt see it, can you say when exactly it was?
@@samel88 @5:49
OMG ME TOO I WAS SO ANXIOUS THAT HE WAS GOING TO NOTICE IT BUT DIDDENT!
After damaging a few body panels and washing the mud from the car...
"Alright, lets rinse and try again"
I didn't expect that, if it was me I would give up immediately xD
"101 ways to destroy your Tesla" ;)
lol :) i just got a quite laugh about it :)) cheers
It's always fun to watch this as winter comes around the corner. Keep pushing the limits on your tests.
6:10/ 6:55 **unhappy Tesla noises**
8:37 **intense angry Tesla noises**
There are many channels trashing new iPhones, new game consoles... never saw a channel trashing a Model X. Great video! Please make more of this.
Next time bendtest
Bend test already done at 3:44. passed!
lmfaoooo why is this comment hilarious to meeeeee 😂😂😂 I basically read " there's so many channels trashing small fortunes never saw a channel trashing their large fortune KEEP IT UP 😂😂😂 Nooooo ppl stop destroying your shit for views ... But then again if you can afford it then I guessssssssss even tho it's wasteful
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ exactly
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
Sorry about the damage to your Model X. The things you do give other Tesla owner a vantage point on the limitations of a Tesla. Great video. I hope you're able to fix Optimus Prime.
Honestly I would hope Tesla would look out for this guy after doing all he does.
But really Tesla Pickup Truck umm... I'm getting old here lets goo lol. I would be even more interested once I see that. Would be a nice 2018 Xmas gift; just before the snow falls lol.
Tac81 share and subscribe also helps!
I hope the snow and ice stays in Finland this winter. Sorry Bjorn, but there are way too many cars were I live and way too many stupid drivers driving them. Snow and ice just make things worse over here even on asphalt roads.

This was wildly entertaining to watch. I was laughing out loud at certain points. Bjorn was cracking me up!
Don’t apologize to your followers. Actually thank you for doing things we wouldn’t dare to do with ours. That was entertaining and looks like fun to drive.
Although it hurts to see the damage, I have to admit: The entertainment factor of this video is one of the best of all your videos so far 😀
Now I know why I can´t find model X off-road videos... hope the ad revenue is enough to pay the damage.
Überheld
Look for Russia Tesla videos on YT
Talk about zero suspension travel . . . .
@@RoadRunnerLaser Spent a lot of time in the dirt, I know what articulation is. But... have to watch the video again, can't remember why I commented!
Is all good. I actually have kind of a pavement princess myself (2015 Frontier with 2 inch lift/no armor/open diffs) so, not sure I would have done any better...
The wheel sank into the soft mud. No suspension travel will do any good in that condition.
@@nerdsrock243 Frontier is not a pavement princess..
@@BRollOffroad is 2006 discovery 3 with off-road tires, winch brush guard and roof rack and ladder a pavement princess?
I notice a steady improvement with handling the vehicles abilities. Keep it up👍
You're the first that make a good movie about offroad driving with a Tesla, i was searching videos like this for years. Thanks. Now i can show my jeep fan's that a electric 4x4 offroad car could work.
Frank Opmeer an electric 4x4 car could theoretically have 4 motors which would be awesome for a 4x4 car. It would be like a combined open and closed diff car.
But it sucks, it is worse than a cheap IC SUV!
To be fair a cheap 1999 cherokee is more capable offroad than a new one. So price really doesnt translate to being better offroad, who buys a Tesla to be as good offroad as a jeep? Thats not the point.
Perhaps Bjorn should have let the Jeep-pilot drive his model X. He seemed like a very patient fellow who knows what he's doing. But I guess he'd knew that particular track also a lot better than Bjorn did. Like he said in the clip he should have investigated the track better before attempting this. Well, fun to watch and at least someone else (Bjorn) has tested how well a Model X handles an impulsive off-road trip. (just as bad as any modern car with clipped on plastics)
Bjorn...NOOOOOOO! Tears of sadness coming from my eyes watching Optimus Prime get beat up. But awesome camera work with the multiple angles. Now other Tesla owners know the limits because of your great video. I want to donate now to your patrion page to help.
You guys are so awesome! Thank you for experimenting for all of us and thank you for all the hilarious content. Great video angles too.
6:28 made me laugh! Because of how dramatic the crash was!! Hahahahhaa
I hope you get it fixed and thanks for the amazing video!
Hearing your voice while watching you drive from outside the car feels like listening to the internal monologue of the car.
"How is the battery pack looking? yeaaaah, it's fiiiiine. It's just a flesh wound."
👏👏
🤣😂
The car performed much better than I would have expected. I would never have expected anybody to be crazy enough to try. But you did! Briliant!
This whole video made me thinking of playing with my old remote toy cars in the snow. Very funny video keep up the good work.
you're the only model x owner with some balls! Earned a sub!
It's really difficult in the winter to have an overview of the situation because the snow just hides everything. I'd personally try this in the summer with some offroad tires.
Björn many thanks for keeping us amused at your expense, I smiled through the whole video! This was really a crazy stunt by you but I must admit I'm still impressed that it did this well, as terrrain was quite rough, expected it to do worse. However I'd never go even close this, if you wanna go off road there are probably much better vehicles :) :)!! Thanks from Sweden Björn and keep it up!
Funny! I learned driving offroad at the army, so it is funny to see how you do it.
Well there goes 20-30k nok. First you're doing a tug of war with a Toyota and now you're banging up the car offroading. You must be Tesla's favorite customer xD.
Free advertising :P
Toyota would have passed this mud pool peace of cake !!
Esunisen its all about ground clearance, Tesla barely has any because of the battery packs
Also, everyone, stop whining and support Bjorn on Patreon, so he can fix Optimus Prime :).
Its good to see someone test the car to the limit so people know what it can do and wont do, and the car can be fixed lol. Also his Tesla was not free
I'd be curious to know if it's possible to put a plow on an X and plow snow? As far as I know they're AWD but not 4 wheel drive but due to their weight might do the job! Any thoughts, comments?
Very entertaining!! Thanks for the amazing video!
I think this video is a good representation of Tesla model X offroad capabilities
Not even crossover by Toyota, Honda or subaru capability’s, it’s more in the same category as an awd Prius
@@Seattle808 nope. They all suck the same.
Great experiment as always Bjorn! Your Model X is probably one of the most abused Tesla. Appreciate your video as another Tesla owner :)
テスラモーターズファン You should see Téo Taxi.. All Teslas they use are completely abused and falling apart. Almost all have suspension/steering problem, interior falling apart etc..
Well Bjorn is well known .. so he did what some of his subscribers want to see him do .. yes it could have been more careful but he already repaired his Optimus Prime X.. also he could order & use the new Delta off-road wheels pack from Germany : th-cam.com/video/HB-3m6mrkP4/w-d-xo.html, or he could get a full set of mud and snow-tracks Mattrack have a lot of experience and could be a good solution for him..
テスラモーターズファン こんなところにw
Just a PURE USER EXPERIENCE of Tesla to watch ;) - Thank you!!!
This is literally the best Tesla video out there, so many great moments 8:44 got me LMAO
Painful, epic and hilarious, great vid! OP did surprisingly well though!
22:30 Me to my girlfriend.

Who is watching in 2019?

What a stupid comment
2020 with eyes on Cybertruck..
Great job from Canada! Keep testing in winter conditions. Very similar conditions. Thanks
"Insurance is not gonna pay for this. My wife is gonna yell at me" ....... L O L you a funny guy, I like you!
Bjørn, are you ok man? :)) I think the negative temperatures affected you. But I'm not gonna lie, I enjoy it
i love your videos mate, you crack me up! keep up the awesome videos ;-)
thanks for sharing
***** THUMBS UP *****
Did you disable traction control and ABS? Didn't look like either was working.
He had a great sense of humour.
The silence in power up situations is really amazing! I was also quite impressed by your steep learning curve! It was visible that towards the end you had gained much more sense of where to be slow and careful and where to give a decent amount of power to make it through. From a more experienced point of view I can say: You have to take care of every car when going offroad. They are all more or less vulnerable and there are always possible traps! Take the limitations of your car into account, or your experience will be almost certainly an expensive one. I think the Tesla X did quite well and is very well amongst the typical abilities of most modern SUVs. Not so bad with the 4 wheel drive, but of course not a highly capeable offroad car. The differential lock is clearly missing and it is vulnerable at the edges. With some more experience you should be able to go through this type of conditions and terrain without damage though.
Thank you very much for that great video! I really loved the dual view of inside and outside. You covered very many interesting offroad siutations, it is quite educational! Maybe even more than some professional offroad testing videos.
Every time I hear that ring I'm looking to fasten my seat belt
How does the heat work in that car since it doesn’t need an engine to warm up
Tesla Motors OWES you big time. This one video, to me, sells that car more than any other video/commercial I've ever seen. Really, the added challenge of the icy skin of an already bad terrain. Wow! what a ride.
Even with those eco tyres it did kinda okay :) proper tires and it probably would climb everywhere
Interesting, got to say the opposite for me. It didn’t fare very well in my opinion
@@jwhite7643 This guy is so bad at driving off road. He keeps breaking on downhills in the snow without snow tires. The car is fully capable and the electric control of the tires seems to work quite well but it doesnt have the right tires or ground clearance necessary. And he is a terrible, possibly first time off road driver. When there is an electric vehicle designed for this with big tires and high clearance I think we will all see that ev will be the best for offroad as well
Peter Lindbeck I agree with you, he didn’t do the best job at showing its abilities and it would definitely do better in more capable hands. Range Rover or something similar would fare better than this Tesla with the same road tyres in my opinion. There’s no reason electric vehicles won’t do well off road- as soon as a good fully electric off road vehicle is produced it perform very well. I just am not pleased Tesla’s ability compared to compared to cars i have seen in the same class. However as you said, it wasn’t in capable hands. I would be interested to see how it would fare with a professional.
@@jwhite7643 It did pretty well for a performance-focused 6000 pound 7 seater mini-van SUV with a relatively low ground clearance and shabby "efficiency focused" tires, along with a amateur off-roading driver... Most "performance" oriented SUVs wouldn't last a second off-road. Of course, compared to a Jeep Wrangler with huge-ass off-roading tires and gear, it didn't fare very well, but for what it is, it did pretty well
Omg i love the Jeremy Clarkson reference... POWWWER!!!
Speed and power solves everything
Ikr 😂
@Windows Media Player ...and then we can use a hammer lol
Best advice is to keeps the stops to a minimal and drive a bit faster so you can work off your momentum rather than the motors. That way you don’t get stuck as easily and get across obstacles without them breaking.
Great job Bjorn! Pretty good for not having experience.
I live in Dubai, I've seen people taking it to the desert, it performed very well!
the desert? didn't they care about sand in the air filter- ah yeah, electric cars... DAMMIN TECHNOLOGY, I CURSE YOU
Ollie Starkey LeBay they have electric off road cars but Tesla’s are designed to be only on road
Blake Hatton look up Rivian and there’s another one rally cars are becoming electric too
I had the rear wheel trim (the plastic thing) tear out of my X...it is actually one long piece that goes from the front to the rear!
Also, the front part contains a parking sensor!!
What was the Tesla beeping at because there wasn't enough space? Tip: You could have shown us the screen a couple of times
Gaming Karl And More because it sensors on the car touched the mud and snow
Whole video: oOoOo SHIIIT! I love you’re channel now lol.
So teslas can float right? After it's repaired, it will be time to drive it into a lake and see how long it takes before it sinks.
maybe with opened Falcon Wing doors
The best comment for this guy!!!)))))
Nice one 😂😂
colincomposer no, maybe fly? With the falcon wing open, see how far it can hover in the air
Dang Bjorn, I just upped my Patreon pledge after this one!
+oisiaa Thanks :)
lol
Why does the car keep beeping?? Is that a terrain warning thing?
Which are you comparing this Telsa with?
Best thing to ever happen to OP! now it is a True warrior! Go OP Go!
KermitNinja9er nah warriors wear their scars proudly,only pussies cover them up!
Fancy a Bev Mate? I agree. Optimus Prime fought valiantly. A legitimate soldier
Fancy a Bev Mate? Battle scars!
gnomaedh yes!
9GAG?
Man, you could've done 10 minutes long video with title how you broke your tesla, it would get a lot more attention.
Other than that, pretty cool video
Most youtubers would name it like "BRAND NEW MODEL X WRECKED! OFFROADING GONE WRONG & SEXUAL" Oh, and there would be a badly photoshoped pic of exploding Tesla.
Haha that's right
15° uphill
Tesla: Sorry bur i can't reach it, try another way.
Volvo 740: the best road what i ever seen!
4:19 POOOOWER! LOL xD
OP is yelling at you all the time :D Thats the video i have been waiting for!
your car is pretty cool!
Sooo we just saw a tesla on a four wheeling trail with jeeps and atv xD Made my day
Yep a good reminder that SUV's aren't really offroade vehicles 🙈.Poor Tesla Model X but great Video 😜!
Hi Bjørn
ok, so nobody can say anymore, that we are the ones who treat their car badly ;-) Good luck with the repair. Love this Video!
ModelXfamily
Hi Björn
This was a very interessting one!
But i am glad that is Not my car hehe
How can you do that to a tesla
Nice and funny video!!! Looks like you had allot of fun :)
Geez, Bjorn. That wasn't necessary. Next week. Testing the air bags.
You sound so boring, it makes a good video. Come on.
iasoe Sorry. My humour was not conveyed nor detected. I'd watch his videos on testing the glove box.
Allan Kobelansky it's FUNNY, Bjorn, you have to test air bags
NExt test,in the water ,supmarines lol
Dude! you have balls of steel. Good on you. I thought Id see how a Range Rover evoque got on up a steep grass bank. went up fine. When I reversed back the whole front bumper tore off on a half buried rock!! I know how it feels but plastic panels pop back in usually!! The X did way better than expected....
I love it that he has given a name to his car,and he loves his car like its a person.
I like this... A-LOT! Lol you the dude!
This guy is so funny omg ahahahahahahaha lmao I love this guy
lmao that's exactly how i feel
You remind me of "me" when I was a little kid. I did everything I could to brake my toys....... but had great fun doing it
"We need to do it like... like... Jeremy Clarksson... POWAA!"
which brand and model are this winter tires ?
What is the size of those tires? Btw, the problem in most cases where you got stuck was ground clearence, so i dont think the Model X is made to go off asphalt
"Its fine, it just a flesh wound!"
True Viking speak my friend, True Viking.
He is not a Viking
you have never seen Monty Python i presume
He's clearly asian dude
Viking is a state of mind.
This is one of my favourite off roading videos... No, seriously, its just so much fun.
regarding teslaa.i appreciate the work you've putted to film this video
