Whoa, when the door handles didn't react at first I was like "whaaaatt?!". Phew! Glad the car wasn't dead like I had been dreading. So the car just shut down automatically since it wasn't in use for so long? Heard a lot about the vampire drain, glad it's no longer a huge issue. Thanks for the video. And Congratulations on your engagement, Bjorn!
Thanks :) Yes, I was also nervous that the car would be dead after so long. If the keys are away from the car for 24 hours, auto present door handles temporarily disables.
Love the video - especially the views of Thailand and your new bride!! What a shock for your body to come from steamy hot Thailand back to Norway! Glad you got Tesla love when you came back!
It is so much fun to watch your videos, there is definitely something cool about them! Congratulations with your marriage, you must be very happy with it :) Keep videos coming! Tusen takk!
It is important to note that Li-ion batteries have a very well documented standard drain. In 25 degrees that is about 8% per month. This has been colder, and should have less drain, but this means that the Tesla did not use the full 20% battery. Not that this matters for the user, but it is worth noting that at least a large part of the drain cannot be avoided even if you disconnect the battery.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video as you returned from your Honeymoon, (congratulations) because this was a question I had in mind and this video answered beautifully. May your marriage run even better than your Tesla and your years together be as much fun.
It's funny that I've disabled UA-cam comments with Adblock (just got fed up with trolls and ignorant people), but on your videos it's all pleasant comments and discussions. Your videos are among the very few I enable comments on when I watch them. Always informative too :)
This is actually superior performance. A LIon battery usually discharges at 1% per day. So in 27 days it should have been at 62 to 63 percent. The fact that it was at 70 percent surprised me. Anything less than 1% per day is excellent.
It's the opposite, in fact after car starts to move the display message show the heating battery to improve his performance; usually the ideal temp for Li ion are +10 / + 30 degree
Mauro Scimone They heat up the battery to gain the possibility to charge it faster, high internal battery resistance and higher battery wear is the reason why they deactivate the recup breaking. Also noticing the limited output power. Cold batteries loose their charge faster than room temperature batteries. That's the whole reason why Björn did this video, it's cold so the vampire drain is higher.
Ruben Kelevra I'm sorry but I don't consider less than 1% drain per day of sitting idle to be "vampire" drain and anyone who does has unrealistic, unreasonable expectations.
Welcome back in cold europe, thailand is a lovely place... Thanks for the nice videos! I did not know, that the range mode deactivates the battery heating.
I hope these cars come soon to Spain, specially southern spain were 10 ºC is considered "cold", LOL. I'm sure these cars would perform very good in our climate.
Good the have you back Bjorn! :) again congratulations! hope you had perfect holidays! and thanks for your efforts to show all the topics related to Tesla Model S. looking forward for your next movie - more Norway (maybe some fiords :) and more Tesla model S take care
If the tesla has a sleep mode, like a phone or computer, that also means you could have turned the vehicle completely off, and have saved more battery life? ~ just curious
The car set itself into sleep mode automatically. This means that the MCU is in standby and the driver display is off. There are some microcontrollers at deep sleep, but they react as you press the handles. The wake-up off the Bluetooth module takes some while, the handles of the car only pop out when the key has been successfully detected. When you open the driver door, the MCU and the driver display boot up again, but this actually takes some time, so that's the reason why you can disable the sleep mode function. You can also disconnect the car, so that the MCU is not always connected. This saves some energy. You can also shut down the car completely, if you need to.
Yes 27 days full battery slowly ran out of battery jus like they but tesla model x 7days 12km in the car it will not change and will not open the tesla changer cap that means phantom drain tesla model 3 call vampire drain
Great post.....keep on posting things you find out about these new EV cars because this is the type of info ppl want/need to see....REAL world use from a real person in all weather conditions....and maybe just maybe ppl will start to see the benefit of an EV car in their life....personally i am still waiting on the Electric rav 4s from toyota
With 77.5 kWh usable capacity, the car used 0.57 kWh/day. I wonder if the rate of vampire damp depends on ambient temperature. The video was recorded in winter. What would the vampire drain be in spring/ fall when the battery does not need to be cooled nor heated?
Oh. Have you been to thailand? Congrationsfor your marrige and fantastic tour. I also stayed in bangkok for tour during 1month. Your video is good for understanding model s. Thanks so much. Will keeping to post model s effience.
Thanks for the info. It was very informative. No outlets in the garage? I'm thinking it would be a good idea to take my Tesla out of range mode too! I'm sure it doesn't get quite as cold here in Buffalo, NY, USA as it does in Norway!
I have outlets in the garage. But at the time, many cars, including my own, had problems with leaving the car plugged in. It could lead to 12 V battery low.
+xrayangiodoc I have come to the conclusion that it gets colder here in the US than Norway! In michigan we have many days at say 10 F or less which is -12C ... Bjorn's videos seem to show a lot of say 2 C days or 35 F which is a nice winter day in Michigan. Or right now as I type it is 29 F here and 34 F in Bodo
Bjørn Nyland Quite true. But even southern Norway is more north than the northern most point of Michigan! In my view, it should never be warmer in Norway than Michigan! :)
Hey Bjørn ! I love watching your videos. I had a question though. Before you left for the trip, did you manually shut the car off, or did you just get out and lock it, letting it naturally go to sleep ? Also, any idea how cold it was while you were gone ? (I could totally understand if you had something better to do while in Thailand than check the weather back home !)
I let it naturally go to sleep. I think it does it fairly quick, after half an hour or so. While I was gone, the temperature was about +2°C to -2°C based on the weather logs. Yeah, I was busy eating delicious Thai food and spending time with my wife ;)
Bjørn Nyland Sounds like a heck of a good time ! Congratulations to the both of you ! I can't wait to see her reaction the first time she drives the Tesla ;)
The calculation is wrong (347-246)/347 = 29%. Even if you consider the full range of 400 km (346/0.9 = 385) you still get 101/400 = 25%. Why did you say in the video that it had lost less than 20%? Did you divide on the theoretical range of 480 km?
+Vadim Korkin He did a ballpark math quickly on top of his head, you probably used a scientific 20 decimal points calculator... And certainly verified your results 3 times, just to be sure. Congratulation, you pas math 101. Want a fucking cookie with that too?
+Ramon Zarat Well hello hotshot. The guy was just asking a question, and that math is easy, a lot of people can figure this out on the fly. Asking a question about what the baseline is, is very polite, you are the rude one.
Thank you :) Charging to 100 % repeatedly will wear off the battery faster. If I only used it for short trips in the city, charging it to 60-70 % would even be better.
month vacation, scala programmer, tesla - how the hell can you afford that :) even in norway, this is from work or from some kind of other strange ways ?
My mom has a house in Thailand. And I try not to spend too much. After all, I get Thai prices and not "special price for joo, my friend" when I buy things, ride taxi and eat ;)
Bjørn Nyland I was curious if a normal guy who is a normall programmer of java/scala in Norway can buy Tesla on easy, this is expensive car in my country I can buy two houses in one tesla price. Haw long I have too word to buy such a super car and life normal life, pay rent...
Steven Giannakopoulos yes but easybring give him like 300-500$ if He work all weekend, I believe He has good paycheck at the university and some good job in scala, easybring is just for fun. Norway is fantastic you can be a programmer and dhl :) and pay the tesla bill - I can't imagine any other coutry where normal programmer or dhl stuff can afford tesla.
MrZiemwit The Tesla is about 1/5 of a normal/small house outside cities, probably 1/20 of a near Oslo house. There is no way you will find a flat i Oslo for less than a Tesla, and that includes 15 square meters (150 sqare feet). A one bedroom apartment at 30 square meters will probably be 2 fully specced teslas. In Norway the salaries is high on average, and we have quite high minimum vages. A construction workers minimum hourly pay is more than 150kr or about 25-30$, and the pay goes up after a year. It is illegal to pay anyone in Norway less than 136kr I believe, which is more than 3x the US minimum wage. This is partially to avoid social dumping (check wikipedia). I believe we have if not the flattest salary distribution in the world, then at least very close to the top. Also, you should take into consideration that a mid range bmw 5-series is about the price of a Tesla here, but has a lot higher running cost.
can you shut it down completely. like a leaf or volt. It might only be a few percent but I would feel better without the drain by the computers and gizmos.
About your numbers. If 347km is 90%, then 100% is 385.6km. The drop in range shown was 347-246=101km. The % remaining should be 246/385.6=63.8%, a drop of 26.2%. Perhaps there is confusion related to the renge estimation?
You're mixing apple and oranges. The scale and the range doesn't correspond. So therefore you can't take one value from the scale (90 %) and substract a calculated number from the range (63.8 %). You shouldn't use range to calculate battery percentage because the hidden 20-25 km backup after 0 km range is not counted in. However, if you take the 101 km ideal/typical range difference and multiply that with 0.2 kWh/km, you end up with about 20 kWh. 85 kWh/20 kWh = 23.5 %.
Can i ask for something? Can you make some photos of your tesla near a bmw e60 or e46 so i can realize how big it is compare to those cars? I will add you on facebook and maybe you will upload the there. Thanks.
Hi Bjorn! Great to see another of your videos! :-) Just wanted your advice on speccing the Tesla! I like the 21 inch wheels but am concerned about the amount of tyre roar they will generate compared to the 19 inch standard wheels. Also what effect does the smart air suspension have on ride/handling? I look forward to your response and congratulate you again on your marriage.
I have no experience with 21" or spring suspension. But from what I can tell, air suspension is great for handling. And during winter I raise the car to high/very high to drive past deep snow.
How young was your battery when you did these tests? Was 1 year old, 5 years old, 10 years old?Batteries are losing performance as they get older.Can you give any stats on the battery? When do you need to buy a new battery for your Tesla car?
I just left my car parked in -10 C for about 5 days and had similar results. I had it in range mode, as well. I'm wondering if it would be healthier for the battery to leave it off range mode, and what that additional drain would be on the battery while parked. Do you still leave it in range mode during winter?
It was great :) The entertaintment system was Android-based and worked very smooth. I love how I could zoom and pinch the 3D-map very smoothly just like on a cell phone.
787drmlnr1 Except for the much improved entertainment system with USB-charging and single 3,5 mm connector, the plane was not much different than the Airbus A330 or Boeing 777-200/300ER. The window dimming was cool at first, but kinda annoying because it dims so slow. And it can't block the light 100 % either. It's good though that the cabin personell can override it or auto-dim all windows instead of asking everyone to pull down the shades.
787drmlnr1, I flew in one from Boston to Tokyo. Other than losing avionics and having to land without flaps, the plane was incredible. Smooth as a train, quiet, huge windows, noticeably better air humidity, less pressure change, and that wonderful lighting. I think it changes the game compared to the 777 I flew back on.
I have a Renault Zoe and have noticed a very small drop, or maybe more likely an 'overestimate' of the state of charge when immediately unplugged. For example if you charge to 91% unplug switch off and on again after 5 mins it says 89%. I guess it must measure a little high immediately after charging so maybe if you include this it may have lost less than 1% per day. Also with the temp being between -2 and 5 degrees I'm impressed as I've notice the battery in the Zoe doesn't like it below 5 degrees.
Whoa, when the door handles didn't react at first I was like "whaaaatt?!". Phew! Glad the car wasn't dead like I had been dreading. So the car just shut down automatically since it wasn't in use for so long? Heard a lot about the vampire drain, glad it's no longer a huge issue. Thanks for the video.

Getting in my car after a month, and beeing welcomed by an update message...This is the future :D
I love your videos, Bjørn. They are so personal and insightful. Keep 'em coming!

Esa Edvik You know your not forced to look at them right?

Kelly Rayburn Li-Io batteries have a self-discharge of '< 2 %' per month according to wikipedia.de
So a increase of 1500% is no vampire drain? :)
Congrats on your wedding.
Thanks for the info.
One step closer to buy a Tesla.
Thank you for your experience sir! Thank you for sharing.
Welcome back in cold europe, thailand is a lovely place... Thanks for the nice videos! I did not know, that the range mode deactivates the battery heating.
Thank you :) The range mode and battery heating was something I heard on the Norwegian EV forum. I haven't tested it enough though.
Awesome to see you back. Hope you had a lovely vacation and congratulations ofcourse. Looking forward to new videos:)
Thank you :)

Welcome back!
Thank you :) It's nice to be back in cold Norway.
Nice to see you back on road. Hope you rest well. Waiting for new road video! :-)
New video is coming next week :)
You, sir, are a pretty cool cat! Great review.
Thank you :)
Velkommen tilbake og takk for ny og informativ video! Og gratulerer!
Takk takk :)
thank you for the video i always didn't know how the the tesla does in winter until i watched your video 👍
I enjoy your videos very much! :) Please make more and yes congrats :)
Thank you :) I am already planning a new trip this weekend.
If the tesla has a sleep mode, like a phone or computer, that also means you could have turned the vehicle completely off, and have saved more battery life? ~ just curious
+Ted Green It was in sleep mode. If it wasn't sleeping, the drain would have been even bigger.
The car is never completely off. The battery temperature control system has to be on all the time.
The car set itself into sleep mode automatically. This means that the MCU is in standby and the driver display is off. There are some microcontrollers at deep sleep, but they react as you press the handles. The wake-up off the Bluetooth module takes some while, the handles of the car only pop out when the key has been successfully detected.
When you open the driver door, the MCU and the driver display boot up again, but this actually takes some time, so that's the reason why you can disable the sleep mode function.
You can also disconnect the car, so that the MCU is not always connected. This saves some energy.

Thank you for the feedback :) Yes, that's my intention with my movies. Real world use, filmed by myself and not sponsored by anyone =)
when will you start to do trip videos again!? WE MISS YOU
I'm planning a trip this weekend. It's going to be -30°C in Norway this Friday. I can't miss that chance to test my Tesla in extreme weather :D
Bjørn Nyland OK THX BUDDY!
Bjørn Nyland Yeah I'm in Helsinki right now and it's gonna be freezing!
You´re happy and it seems Huey Lewis was Happy To(o)...
Man, I really want one of these, but 100 grand is preeetty high for someone without a job.
Hello Bjørn, I would like to know what is the build quality of the interior if you will have a time maybe you could make a video, BTW nice video's
Thank you for the feedback :) That's a good idea. I'll consider making a video about build quality and compare it to my old BMW 5-series E61.
Har venta lenge nå på en video fra deg nå. Håper det var bra i Thailand. Satser på mange spennende videoer fra deg i 2014 :)
With 77.5 kWh usable capacity, the car used 0.57 kWh/day. I wonder if the rate of vampire damp depends on ambient temperature. The video was recorded in winter. What would the vampire drain be in spring/ fall when the battery does not need to be cooled nor heated?
Oh. Have you been to thailand? Congrationsfor your marrige and fantastic tour. I also stayed in bangkok for tour during 1month. Your video is good for understanding model s. Thanks so much. Will keeping to post model s effience.
Thank you for the feedback :)
My dream car hope to have one
That is a fast startup time.
Yeah, not bad :)

Bjørn Nyland Quite true. But even southern Norway is more north than the northern most point of Michigan! In my view, it should never be warmer in Norway than Michigan! :)
knpstrr It's warmer by the coast because of the Gulf Stream :) If it wasn't for that then it would be like Siberia here.
Watching this on 2019 and wondering how the MCU and UI of the car had improved by tons!
Hey Bjørn ! I love watching your videos. I had a question though. Before you left for the trip, did you manually shut the car off, or did you just get out and lock it, letting it naturally go to sleep ? Also, any idea how cold it was while you were gone ?

+Ramon Zarat Well hello hotshot. The guy was just asking a question, and that math is easy, a lot of people can figure this out on the fly. Asking a question about what the baseline is, is very polite, you are the rude one.
what was the temperature for this 27 days?
You should put that in your video
love your all vids.. why you limit your charge to 90%? nice film bro..
Thank you :) Charging to 100 % repeatedly will wear off the battery faster. If I only used it for short trips in the city, charging it to 60-70 % would even be better.
sawadika.. thanks for explaination.. keep posting video bro.. no Tesla in Indonesia yet.. :(
I wonder if there's a deeper sleep mode now and if the charge loss isn't bad after two months.
Was the regen disabled because the battery was too cold?
Yes, regen was disabled due to too cold battery.
Li-ion batteries can be damaged very quickly if they are charged below freezing.
Wow...that was amazing...!!
Not really, it would be amazing if 2% would be lost. He lost what, 20 to 30% ?

month vacation, scala programmer, tesla - how the hell can you afford that :) even in norway, this is from work or from some kind of other strange ways ?

I was curious if a normal guy who is a normall programmer of java/scala in Norway can buy Tesla on easy, this is expensive car in my country I can buy two houses in one tesla price. Haw long I have too word to buy such a super car and life normal life, pay rent...
Steven Giannakopoulos yes but easybring give him like 300-500$ if He work all weekend, I believe He has good paycheck at the university and some good job in scala, easybring is just for fun.

Also, you should take into consideration that a mid range bmw 5-series is about the price of a Tesla here, but has a lot higher running cost.
อยากถามเรื่องแอร์ ของรถ เป็นใงบ้าง เพราะว่าเมืองไทยเป็นเมืองร้อน
can you shut it down completely. like a leaf or volt.
It might only be a few percent but I would feel better without the drain by the computers and gizmos.
It can't be shut down completey.
so its consumption average was about 22 watt (without correction for power loss over time)
not bad, its just a computer
About your numbers. If 347km is 90%, then 100% is 385.6km. The drop in range shown was 347-246=101km. The % remaining should be 246/385.6=63.8%, a drop of 26.2%. Perhaps there is confusion related to the renge estimation?
You're mixing apple and oranges. The scale and the range doesn't correspond. So therefore you can't take one value from the scale (90 %) and substract a calculated number from the range (63.8 %).
You shouldn't use range to calculate battery percentage because the hidden 20-25 km backup after 0 km range is not counted in.
However, if you take the 101 km ideal/typical range difference and multiply that with 0.2 kWh/km, you end up with about 20 kWh. 85 kWh/20 kWh = 23.5 %.
Thanks, I was interested to learn of the 20-25km reserve.
For 25km res, 100%=410.6km. 101/410.6=24.6%
All the best to you and your bride. Do you let her drive your Tesla?
Thanks :) As soon as she gets to Norway, I'll let her drive the Tesla, yes. But I'll have the camera running when she steps on the throttle :)
Can i ask for something? Can you make some photos of your tesla near a bmw e60 or e46 so i can realize how big it is compare to those cars? I will add you on facebook and maybe you will upload the there. Thanks.
I'll try to get a photo of the Tesla next to a BMW E60 or E61 :)
Thanks! I apreciate it:)
LoL @ 2:09
"What the heck?!!!" XD
Жалко, что в Россию эта технология заправок навряд ли придет. Но все-равно, когда выйдет модель Е скорее всего куплю её.
Hi, is this car battery become drain faster if park under hot sun? I live in Malaysia.. tqqq
Yes, it drains a little faster. The optimal temperature is 5°C or something if I remember correctly.
"Have to put it in gear". Right, gear. Wonder how long that description will survive.
I meant "Drive" :P
Of course, but I believe you will continue to say gear for a few years. One of those things that are hard to shake off.
kodez79 Yes, I will say "gear" and "gas pedal" for a long time :P
Hi Bjorn! Great to see another of your videos! :-) Just wanted your advice on speccing the Tesla! I like the 21 inch wheels but am concerned about the amount of tyre roar they will generate compared to the 19 inch standard wheels.

I have no experience with 21" or spring suspension. But from what I can tell, air suspension is great for handling. And during winter I raise the car to high/very high to drive past deep snow.
Bjørn Nyland Thanks for the reply Bjorn! Just out of curiosity what is the maximum mileage you have got out of a single full 100% charge? :-)
Sunil Nijran In video #3 I did 382 km in a single charge with 12 km left. That was on winter temperatures though.
How does those door handles cope winter and icing ?
No problem ;) ua-cam.com/video/WYXKY7fpHWA/v-deo.html
How young was your battery when you did these tests? Was 1 year old, 5 years old, 10 years old?Batteries are losing performance as they get older.Can you give any stats on the battery? When do you need to buy a new battery for your Tesla car?
+serbanmike He did a vid about his one year 90k km/60k ml tesla experience. The battery lost 4% of its total capacity over the year and distance.
I just left my car parked in -10 C for about 5 days and had similar results. I had it in range mode, as well. I'm wondering if it would be healthier for the battery to leave it off range mode, and what that additional drain would be on the battery while parked. Do you still leave it in range mode during winter?
I rarely use range mode. It's because I always pre-heat the car.
Did you fly on a 787? How was it?
It was great :) The entertaintment system was Android-based and worked very smooth. I love how I could zoom and pinch the 3D-map very smoothly just like on a cell phone.
Bjørn Nyland Was it a lot different than any other plane, or did it feel normal?
787drmlnr1 Except for the much improved entertainment system with USB-charging and single 3,5 mm connector, the plane was not much different than the Airbus A330 or Boeing 777-200/300ER.
The window dimming was cool at first, but kinda annoying because it dims so slow. And it can't block the light 100 % either. It's good though that the cabin personell can override it or auto-dim all windows instead of asking everyone to pull down the shades.
787drmlnr1, I flew in one from Boston to Tokyo. Other than losing avionics and having to land without flaps, the plane was incredible. Smooth as a train, quiet, huge windows, noticeably better air humidity, less pressure change, and that wonderful lighting. I think it changes the game compared to the 777 I flew back on.
I have a Renault Zoe and have noticed a very small drop, or maybe more likely an 'overestimate' of the state of charge when immediately unplugged. For example if you charge to 91% unplug switch off and on again after 5 mins it says 89%. I guess it must measure a little high immediately after charging so maybe if you include this it may have lost less than 1% per day. Also with the temp being between -2 and 5 degrees I'm impressed as I've notice the battery in the Zoe doesn't like it below 5 degrees.
Well tesla model x in 7 days 12km has on your phone txexs in phone report
And I thought you were married to the TESLA S...
You know any batter device is sucks on winter ..... Do you make research before buy
What Firmware Version are you running? It makes a big difference.
