- Jason and VBH head to Norway where EV adoption is years ahead of the rest of the world and it’s said that Norway will be at 100% EV sales by April 2022. So just how have they done it and what do we in the UK need to do in order to keep up?

This is like watching my parents work an iphone (face palm). Those that can't embrace technology will be left behind.
Winning comment…..LOL
Agree with you on that one. Truly painful to watch this review. Why do you need to adjust regen braking 🤦🏻♂️ ? They are reaching for negative feedback. Just stop it 🖐
the interior is horrible though - minimalist? I say cost cutting. The one screen interface just isn't the right interface for many people.
@@bodrulm1 you mean the minimalist and screen interface isn't right for old people, I get it🤣
@@2CaucAsian or people who enjoy quality :) I'm 40 so I'd say I am squarely the market for Teslas, but the experience compared to say a BM4 i4 is subpar in the cabin. Actually dreadful.
Guys usually love your views but this one was odd.. How many times do you adjust your steering wheel? Once. Just once, so really not a big deal. You can also use voice command. And as far as the one pedal driving is concerned.. Every single review I've ever heard loves the Tesla one pedal driving.. You need to give it some time to adjust to using it.
how many times you adjust it while driving… never. and it can be accessed quite easy via voice control or having the car for a day and knew the menu. it’s way more intuitive than other manufacturers over designed infotainment system tbh
You'd think Jason would like the easy entry now he's getting on a bit? 😉
Tesla's engine/battery tech is still top of the pile even though other manufacturers have had years to catch up. Not so their interiors. especially the nonsensical decision to eliminate almost all buttons. Use voice control you say. Maybe if it works but what about if you or your passengers are having a conversation? Tell them to shut up so you can voice control a function which should have a button or switch. Unfortunately the madness seems contagious. VW Mark 8...
Use the accelerator as a means of control, not an on/off switch and regen braking is amazing!!
You set the mirrors, seats and steering wheel once and save it in your driver profile. If you have problems getting in and out, you enable easy entry so it moves the wheel forward and seat backwards.
What if you want to set it twice, three times? Four times? What if you change your mind? Pull over, take a minute and adjust? In a car with a button, you just adjust on the fly, in literal seconds.
@@olly1oo6 Set up a variety of different driving positions for yourself so you can instantly switch to a more Upright or more Relaxed driving position whenever you want.

You're REALLY Trying hard there, aren't you? 👏👏😂
Why is it so hard to gently lift one’s foot to prevent regen from kicking in? I figure it’s due to the driver thinking they need to press the brake to stop or slow down.
You need to take a test drive !
It’s simply better the way Tesla design it .
Really annoying how all these videos end abruptly and no link to the full version
Agree, i thought i did something wrong..
One pedal regen almost killed me for the first few days, I hated it….now I love it and hate the “loose” feel of mechanical cars.
Never learnt to drive did we? Mechanical feedback is what driving is all about..
Knowing where brake forces are, Knowing where Mechanical grip is...
Not driving a human electric Condom... with no feelings..
@@graemejohnson9025 What an asinine comment to make. Horses carriages are where it's really at. The squeaky ride, clattering wheels, the sound of the whip, the smell of horse manure. You young whippersnappers don't have a clue as to what REAL driving is like!
@@graemejohnson9025 Buddy I have been all round the world and driven all types of vehicles and aircraft ……I’ve done stuff you can’t imagine so before you get all weird with the insults I’m just saying that it is very different from regular cars alright?
@@Holeyguagaamoley have you driven at 200mph at Bathurst, or flown a F1 11 jet fighter.. go away princess... there's people that live outside America, that have done more than you wankers...
Ask any F1 driver, Formula E driver.. what counts most..
Every answer is Mechanical Grip.... imagine hitting black ice in a car, without Mechanical Grip feedback..
Bend over and kiss your arse goodbye...
Oh the F1 11 is the first ground hugging Fighter Bomber, look it up before you reply... Delta Wing.. folding...
@@graemejohnson9025
Always drive on the edge of your (or the cars) ability do you?...
That's where you need to "know where mechanical grip is"
But
Driving to those limits on the public road? that's..... "Dangerous"
Reason for ur jerkiness w 1 pedal driving is there isn’t “coasting.” You instead will keep your 🦶 on pedal and only gradually lift up to slow at your desired breaking level. Takes a few hours to get the hang of, but feels like the back of ur 🤚 quickly ; )
How about you adjust the regen level by not taking your foot off the accelerator so much?
Yeah, they are missing the point of regen. But probably on purpose ... Tesla wants you to use an EV in the way it should be used. They want to drive an EV and use it like a petrolhead.
All the adjustments only in screen is nonsense. I know 3 people with this vehicle and they’ve never gotten used to it and would never admit it. I think they are great cars but just put a few buttons. Also why are all the materials so cheap feeling?
@@LafemmebearMusic
"All the adjustments "in" (that's "on") screen"..... Or just press one button, on the wheel, say "I'm cold".... A d guess what? It warms up!
Thus keeping your eyes on the road!
Many other instructions available!
I've owned 2 EVs i3 & Model 3 and both adjust regen via right foot not uneccessary additional controls. Brake blending was great on both cars unlike other EVs.
Like watching my grandparents try to use an Iphone.
You somehow knew plenty about the Toy Box, but not a basic function like adjusting the steering wheel. Fake drama for trolling. Sad, really.
i think....time passed you guys by. There are dozens of youtube channels that produce better car review content by now
Not to be rude, but instead of taking your foot completely off the accelerator and complaining about the regen strength, why not just lift off a little and slow down at a slower rate?
First, don’t adjust the steering wheel while driving, it forms part of drivers cockpit drill before starting off, if you had the old lever under the steering column, please tell me you DON’T use this while that is in motion!!,
I find driving a Tesla pedal one of the most beautiful and comfortable things. It certainly doesn't drive like classic cars, but if you don't want to "brake" just release the accelerator LITTLE and slowly to make the car go at the speed you want.
Nice to see common sense
Title of video should be changed to "Tesla Model Y Tested by Boomers in Norway".
Yeah, one of the testers is a racecar driver who has a Porsche Taycan as his everyday car. ...
@@GTO33 doesn't prove he isn't a boomer
It’s like neither reviewer has ever been in a Model 3 before, pretending that there must be a lever to adjust the steering wheel whilst driving. As others said you do it once and it’s stored in the profile. Seems they wanted to not like this car or Tesla from the start.
The only reason other brands have adjustable regen is because their regen is horrible. The Tesla regen is intuitive and works with its surroundings. It’s like criticising Tesla for not having Android Auto or CarPlay. That’s just because legacy carmakers can’t make a decent multimedia system and are relying on third party software to make the experience slightly better.
I agree on the brakes, I disagree on Android auto or carplay. The tesla navigation is subpar and I wish I had carplay
@@hardywoodaway9912 there is nothing that I miss from CarPlay or Auto. But I respect your opinion.
The grumbles about regen are from ignorance. The accelerator is just a rheostat now. Push it more to go fast, ease off to slow down, release it when you want to come to a stop
My petrol car does that, every car does that! Press the peddle goes faster, lift the peddle car slows down lift off the car slows down to a halt! Cars have always worked like that!
That's how ice works too and these 2 are very accomplished racing car drivers so I think they know more than most about pedal control
The steering adjustment really should be adjusted when you’re not driving and this applies to any car. It can also be saved for each driver profile.
It feels like reviewers (especially of the older generation (sorry!)) love to use the “how do you set the steering wheel” as a massive hindrance. But yet fail to mention that owners can set up *multiple* profiles with various positions. So in effect it makes adjusting the positions even EASIER.
If these two reviews had set their own profiles from the beginning, they would literally be just two clicks away from their own perfect driving positions every time they swapped seats. This to me is dishonest reviewing and quite infuriating.
Matt Watson also makes a song and dance about this every single time.
Less of the older generation please Mr Tim😂. I find every aspect of driving the Y easy and intuitive and I love the regenerative braking. Oh Yes! I am eighty next year.😇(in the halo waiting room).
P.S. V B-H and Jason might be (I put it no stronger than than might ) died in the wool petrol heads as is my favourite nephew. Elon, let's have the overrun crackle sound of a Coventry Climax F1 engine (instead of a fart) - I'm not against that kind sound pollution - and you would certainly get a sale from my nephew... and, he is young enough for the MY waiting list.
Or....if you insist on adjusting the steering wheel whilst driving, then use the voice command "adjust the steering wheel" ...duh!
"Dishonest and infuriating". Right. Bit of an exaggeration? Most modern cars offer custom seat, wheel and mirror positioning - that's not the issue. What if you want to tweak your position mid-drive? Also, what's actually wrong with a button? It is objectively faster and easier (but it's also more expensive to make - which explains why it's not there in the Model Y).
@@olly1oo6 They are car reviewers and I expect them to know about setting the positions to a Profile. If they did not know that and they say so then I’ll stand corrected. Otherwise, my statement that they’re dishonest (knowing but no admitting) is accurate. And because I believe they are being dishonest, that infuriates me. So an “exaggeration” it is not.
And you can EASILY tweak the position mid drive. You can use the voice command to bring up the controls and adjust with a simple button scroll. Arguably that’s safer than reaching forward to pull a lever, then have to try and carry and adjust the weight of the steering column while driving
So lesson is, reviewers should know better and not revert to low denomination reviewing (“oh look, i’m looking for how to adjust the steering column but found myself pushing the fart button”) or just simply set your driving position before driving.
Who on any vehicle changes the steering column when they are driving! I have never done it in any car.
I don’t think you should be moving your steering while you’re driving?
Sounds very dangerous to me in any car 🚗
Exactly, it seems people create a problem just so they can complain about tesla. You should be adjusting things like steering wheels, seats and wing mirrors while you're stationary.
I did once, and ended up upside down....
Only if you need to go into 18 sub-menus to find the adjustment....In a car with a button it takes literal seconds, and hence can be completed while driving.
@@olly1oo6 you need just one button on the tesla too… the one for voice control. it’s a biased review because Tesla don’t pay for advertisements
Adjusting the steering wheel position while driving?
exactly
Everything is done through software in order for the owner to receive the latest version as they are released. Hence all the controls are through the center pad.
My mechanical steering wheel adjustment hasn't needed a single software update in fifteen years...
@@styx85 good for you
@@stevenbennett3922 it is good for them that’s what is being said. Like why everything in the screen no button?? I know quite a few folx with Tesla’s and they don really get used to it. 🤷🏾♀️
It's also much, much cheaper to not have to make buttons. Cheaper isn't always better
At start of video while talking near street I noticed it was very quiet there. Maybe because of no or very few gas powered vehicles.
I’ve owned a MY for 3 months … and I prefer the “strong” regen. It enables single pedal driving.
It’s smooth and progressive. I would nott want to return to the “old fashioned” , accelerate and brake combination.
I haven’t touched the brake pedal on my MY for over 3000km.
Two highly experienced professional drivers and nether can figure out that if you don’t want “full” regen then don’t “fully” lift your foot off. Pathetic….
One pedal driving took me about 30 minutes to get used to and I love it. Your pads and discs last much longer too.
It took me about 30 seconds to be comfortable with regen braking in my Tesla. Nothing to it. Same for my wife and we are both in our 70s.
Its a really simple interface, even a 5yr old can navigate it easily. There is no point having levers and buttons to adjust things you will only touch a few times in the cars life.
Why would you try to adjust steering wheel while driving???
Here in the US, we have Teslas for rent at Hertz.
I used them for a few 1500+ mile road trips, and I can tell you it's JUST right.
I have a BMW 340i F30 manual, and consider myself to be a car guy.
While driving the Tesla, I didn't miss the over designed interiors of a BMW/Mercedes, nor the exhaust note.
I'm now on a wait list for an S Plaid.. 😆
You either like them or not. I wouldn't buy one based on my impressions of a Model 3 after renting one.
You definitely aint a car guy. A true car guy don’t fall for this nonsense. Had it for 3 months and couldn’t tolerate it. Mutual feeling shared in all car clubs.
This is giving me the kind vibes I'd get if I were to have my grandma test the new Iphone... 😑
Yes, drive through Madeira island for few hours until the brakes catch fire (if you dont use motor brake) then you'll appreciate the regen braking a bit more.
Hey Jason, Cliff Huxtable called, he wants his clothes back.
By the comments I read, maybe they're new to driving that car.
It reminded me of infomercials where people purposely make easy things look hard.
The fart sound is magic 😂
Interesting video, Norway is really leading the way in Europe with EVs, we hope to see the rest of Europe follow their lead! Thank you for sharing 🔌⚡🚘
Hardly worth the title of 'Test'. My guess is that 2 septuagenarians out for a first drive would probably have done as well.
On all my cars, I set the steering once, maybe play with it a few times (at most) and leave it there. As mentioned below, you can have multiple driver profiles that automatically adjust things for you, which removes the most common reason for adjusting in the first place. Just like my '96 Aurora V8 then, but without the step of having to press the driver profile button every time I got in the car.
Quite obviously the testers are not technology-aware (most phones and tablets are far more complex than the Tesla interface), and good luck easily finding any one of the dozens of buttons / levers on some modern high-end vehicles.
Maybe someone should tell them about the voice command interface that bypass having to use the screen? It's not as if voice recognition is not used by several major brands to interface with the system, so I would expect that these 2 posers would have at least some idea...
My guess would be that those septuagenarians would use a technique I perfected in a career "fixing stuff"
"R.T.F.M"
(Last word "manual").
You'd think a guy currently joining around race tracks in cars with a steering wheel having more "stuff" to adjust than this every lap, would actually have no issue?
.
Suppose it makes "good viewing"?
BUT ITS NOT HELPING THE TRANSITION JASON!
GET WITH THE PROGRAMME?
Just say
" This MIGHT seem difficult...BUT if you do "this" (follows procedure") you never need to adjust it again!"
Strong boomer energy in this video.
This review is a prime example of when you are too old for the tech at your disposal. How do I set the steering wheel I do not want to go into the controls? Just tell the car to do it, it literally has a voice command function for dummies
My goodness, how contrived is that? Makes Top Gear look ad lib.
OUCH!!
(Hilarious, but..... Still)
👏👏
Weird review, regen braking setting is perfect, not uncomfortable. Don't need to adjust steering wheel often, saved to profile...
where is yolk?
Too complicated because you are not into tech....most of the younger generation would have no problem with the tech
Actually I’m 34 and I have friends who are 28 to 35 and own Tesla’s and all never really get used to the one screen does all thing. They say they put up with it because of the benefits the car offers them. I get that AND driving as a passenger with them I’ll tell you they ask me to do stuff for them lol 🤷🏾♀️ it’s all what works best for u.
These old folks give old folks a bad name.
Too complicated? The extent of this "younger generation" technical expertise originates from years of playing video games & surfing the internet...just ask a gen-X just what exactly is a MOSFET & how it is used in a circuit & you'll get a blank stare.
lol the old man and the scarecrow commentators 😂
Like listening to my grandparents, and I’m 60
Thought Vicky was into competing with the boys, techy jags, hot-hatches, bumming 'round tracks, rocking back and forth behind a Ferrari steering wheel shrieking for more horsepower and Quintain is a wuss, 0-to-60, grrr-wowza-corr and all that stuff ? Now, all of a sudden, because it's Tesla and she wants to be contrary, she's turned grownup with a delicate pallet easily upset by speed.
Voice command, 'Adjust steering wheel', done.
They talk about 2020 - what was this posted only 3 days ago ? If this test was done recently it’s totally outdated and is surpassed by so many more professional TH-camrs
Guys, you don’t just start drinking. Read the instructions first, then check that the machine actually works then drive, jeees!
First, Norway has been massively subsidising EV purchases for years now, often meaning that despite still having a 30% higher sticker price, with the subsidy applied, EV's are often cheaper to buy than ICE cars, which is why they've been so popular. In the UK, the already paltry subsidy has recently been cut, so EV's are still *on average* 20-30% more expensive. Go figure. Next, £55k for a 'family' car - I don't think so, certainly not for the vast majority anyway.
Well i live in Norway, TM3 in order
it's a tesla not a "tezla"
Awesome video! But to be fair, when adjusting the steering wheel in a Tesla, it’s far easier just prompting it via the voice control on the right scroll wheel 😉
i just use the lever below the steering wheel. using a screen to do normal things like that is stupid.
@@JoriDiculous i presume you use an old nokia
@@sathwickborugadda4744 I do, every time my Smart phone breaks. Quite Nice going a week or more between charges instead of 1 - 2 times pr. day.
And i can still press a button to get AC, Heated seats, adjust steering wheel without using a big stupid screen. Just because something is New doesn't mean its good.
Teaching us to adjust steering wheel while vehicle is in motion? No No No!
@@JoriDiculous its actually stupid to put a lever for a function we use once or twice
do you also feel that cars are in general stupid and its better to use a horse as you can feel it breathing and pooping ?
Who the hell adjusts the steering when DRIVING?! also if you’ve done it before, it’s literally 2 presses…….
NO **CK*** VAT!? Make that mandatory! If it´s that important to switch to the green juice, then most will switch. Cause that will make a whole lot of a difference for most people...
Old man in Video: I'm an old man why am I in this car. How dull is he.
Did Jason loose a bet, because of the sweater? 🧐
Nice

Has anyone told them the car can drive itself?
A good comment !
2 old people struggle with technology... shock & horror lol
I dunno, just not the same without Tiff Needell
Nice car.
Norway can offer all the incentives because it’s rich from selling fossil fuels. Most other countries can’t do that
Eyes on the road please
Your comments on the steering adjustment is soooo 2018. The regen is a must and you’ll get used to it. And the toy box…. Farting… come on guys. So 2015…
😍 Vicky
There is no excuse for being stupid about it. Adjusting the car settings is so easy, you went to some lengths to make it seem confusing. Not good.
Totally agree!!
Soon to be renamed the “Trumpa Model Y”
This is the most boomer thing ive ever seen
what engine is it?,does it have a turbo,does it have a v8 or 6? what kind of exhaust is that?
It's an EV...no V engine whatsoever.
i believe they are gas turbine powered with a smoke stack.
@@trance9158 ooooh it’s a goofy car 😂 no grill 🤔?
A famil car at 55k... That's two years average income. A family car should be half that price because that's the years long average for a family car. Governments should buying a second hand ev more easy will they ever reach a high percentage of the cars in moderate peoples hands.
You haven’t noticed inflation?

thank you, elon is ramping up china, so order the model Y, 3, urgently, china and russia appreciate it, order apple as well, with the FSD and all the features so we can see you better
As a disabled driver (wheelchair user with multiple sclerosis) I frequently need to adjust my right foot position on the pedal and, with restricted fine motor control of my foot, it's not easy to do without actually lifting my foot off the pedal and coasting for a second or so. Bear in mind this is not an issue even in my most recent car - an early (2005) Aston Martin DB9!
However obligatory regenerative braking WHENEVER I need to do this will make smooth driving that much harder in many EVs!! I would only ever be able to consider an EV with adjustable regen' braking, or one that you can turn off altogether!!
The same thing may also apply when normal drivers do things like cough or sneeze. Lift-off coasting HAS to be an alternative to always applying the brakes - it can even risk collisions when the car in front brakes for no obvious reason.... and NO, other drivers don't always leave enough space and aren't always paying enough attention. So that's no answer!
Soon you won't need to touch any inputs and you'll be driven around autonomously.
Also, your worry about people rear-ending you has nothing to do with regen since regen will put on brake lights.
Literally 1 min after driving an ev with regen you never run into a "brake for no reason" situation as you've proposed.
That’s a very good point. And I’d say the one real downside of not being able to adjust regen.
As noted by @Cybrtrk
Sounds like you need a car with

Autopilot?
🤔
FSD?
🤔Maybe just Cruise control?
It’s beautiful but inside is basic , wrong about the bar of soap
Why in the hell you would move your steering while driving is beyond me 🫣. Go back to your cave and eat your fish and chips mate.
There are folx who are disabled and drive and have to adjust it frequently, I know a few folx who need to be able to do this. Just food for thought.
@@LafemmebearMusic “folx”? The software enabled adjustments make it EASIER for disabled as they can set multiple profiles and the car will automatically adjust to their preference. Crazy to me how many “folx” don’t understand this basic concept.
All who felt this video funnily biased and reviewers were just 2 old(just kidding) people bumbling with latest technology - Leave a like below 🤣 👇
Thats not even a review! Really poor, dinosaurs. Tech, space, range, charging network - class leading. Unable to work an iPad before setting off…?? Poor.
Worse impressions ever.
You just keep reviewing fossil cars, guys! 🤣
These reviewers do not understand new technology
Let’s watch some old farts review cars
It looks like this is designed for inelegant people not fools, like the these presenters
The UK EV wise and even more so EV Charging wise is far below 3rd world at very very best. Diabolically awful.
If regen is stuck on high all the time, doesn't this mean the brake discs will rust through lack of use? Some owners of other Tesla models complain about this problem (see Quora)
That is easily remedied by occasionally using the brake peddle.
@@paulsmyers203 you'd have to brake pretty hard to get the friction brakes working and clean the discs; not sure many owners would remember (or be willing) to do this regularly

No. Bosch ABS "wipes" them every time you drive. Same system VAG has been using for the last 20 years. Implemented on all Teslas since 2015.

Big mistake indeed... Letting you guys drive a car you don't understand and don't even try to understand. Regen too hard... What a bunch of stupidity. Adjust steering wheel whilst driving...? You do it once and save your profile.
the amount of stupid claims in this video is ridiculous
This is a shockingly bad video! It's like watching your grandparents try and use a laptop for the first time.
Delightfully ugly, and an interior akin to sitting in a potato. The no-buttons thing is just a way to save on cost - engineering buttons is expensive. It's easier to just shove everything in a touchscreen display and save on cost.
Old farts complaining 😂😂😂😂, tesla regen is the best🤪
