Quite hard, Norwegian is more similar to German per say. We Norwegians find it hard to learn spanish and such, so I assume it would go the other way around as well. But if you do wan't to learn norwegian, just go for it
-6 Degrees Celsius translate to 21 degrees Fahrenheit. He was driving in below freezing conditions, tons of luggage and driving up a mountain. I think the Tesla did its job. Eventually we'll see more supercharging stations in Europe and range won't even be an issue even with those challenging conditions for an EV. Great video!
I think previously Tesla stated that the cold-weather spec will just be ready in time for European deliveries, because there are many places in the northern US that could definitely use it (not to mention Canada). -6c (21f) is a pretty normal winter temperature here in Northeast Ohio.
You are right in saying that most car trips are much shorter, but remember that Europe is a small place. In countries as large as the US & Canada there is nothing at all unusual about a 400-500km weekend trip. It isn't only a few percent who make these trips. That being said, with more and more charging stations planned or installed, those trips should no longer be an issue for an EV. Besides, you can still rent an IC car for the weekend if the EV won't do...
*For Americans watching this* In miles he got about 2.4 miles per kwh & drove about 170 miles. my average is 4.3 miles per kwh which means if I was driving the car it could get about 300+ miles. just putting that out there.... good video, excellent test
Most hotels do have a charging station for electric vehicles. It is called an electric outlet :) He would have to charge for more than a day if it is a regular 16A plug, but if he is staying the weekend that shouldn't be a problem. This particular town (Geilo) actually has a free CHAdeMO quick charger, but I don't think the US version of the Model S can use it.
He did fill the car completely up with stuff, was pushing it, and was driving in the cold on snow, as well as gaining a lot of elevation. But in your case you should be able to stop after 3-4 hours at a Tesla charger and eat while you top up and continue. Should work fine. Also, when at home you plug in, so in your day to day life, you never need to spend time at a gas station, making up for the "lost" time when eating and topping up during weekend trips. Sounds good to me.
Did you catch the bit where he removed the tape from the range meter ? it showed he had 29km left when he reached his destination. That's the gasoline equivalent of reaching your destination on fumes with the reserve light flashing. And that's the point: he reached his destination. I'm not sure what CR could have shown that was different. It's extremely expensive only if all you consider is the purchase price. Throw in the low, low cost of operation, and the true cost of ownership is less bad.
Plug it into any outlet over night for an extra 30 miles if needed at your destination. Or use an accessible 240 outlet somewhere. They are getting more and more common.
dude... the trip is 270 km or 168 miles. This is sufficient for daily commute, but a bit tight on weekend's day-trip getaways. I live in suburban Boston, it is easy to pile 200 miles round trip to go to Martha's Vineyard ferry terminal, Newport RI, casinos in CT, Cape Cod, Hampton Beach NH, Six Flags, Mt. Washington, ski areas in central NH (i am not even talking about Vermont or those in northern NH), and these are popular destination that people drive out once a month or even more.
You are right, of course. I wasn't very clear. My point was that European countries are quite small and subsequently most road trips are also shorter that what a North American would consider a normal weekend trip. Few of my European friends would consider a 500km round trip normal for a Saturday visit. I also should have specified Western Europe, as there are some sizeable countries in Eastern Europe.
Why would you think he didn't use the heater ? I"m not sure about the parking lot donuts (they could have been filmed at any other time), but it's a very good bet that he was using winter tires which have a higher rolling resistance. It's all moot anyway because whether he still had a 29km range or a 290km range, he did make it to his intended destination with no problems. That's what makes the Tesla S a proper, usable car.
As cool as it was to watch keep in mind all those donuts in the middle of the trip probably used 20-30km of range, rapid acceleration is the most energy intensive activity. Go wqithout the hooning and swap the cabin heating for the cold weather seat heaters allowing you to remain comfortable with lower cabin temp and I think 350km real world range is about right in these conditions
Loved the duct tape. Loved the duct tape. I get range anxiety when i try and drive 900km in my holden. Loved the road test, wish you where in OZ to do a road test.
Altitude _rise_ / difference however, affects any car - you use more energy going upwards than flat or downwards. This video shows a stretch that climbs steadily about 800m.
Probably better mileage than in the video. Model S actually does very well in stop-n-go traffic. It is high speed highway driving which really reduces the range. Some folks got over 400 miles (!) while driving 30 mph :) Air conditioning really doesn't impact the range that much. The air conditioner uses less than 1000W power. Let's put it at 500W. The pack is 85KWh. That means you could run it full blast for 170 hours, or a full week without draining the battery :)
No, he sat there wearing indoor clothing in -6 degrees. Not very likely is it? That said, he could have used a little more energy on the fan speed, but I guess he turned it down to make the video shot. Reporters think about things like that. The range was lost because he was doing donuts in a huge parking lot, because the tires had to plow trough snow most of the way, and because his right foot was heavy. Did you watch the movie?
I'm not driving constantly uphill with the car packed out, I live in a fairly hilly area gravity + regenerative braking gives me a roller coaster effect. If you drive any car hard you'll get worse mileage, I don't do donuts like what was portrayed in this video, EV's are much more efficient than traditional vehicles if you drive smart you can go far. Or you can drive hard and still go far, I sell my excess pv power back to the grid so I choose not to use too much.
Yeah your right. Well if you are an unexperienced driver it might be harder. If you are slipping when taking a corner and do not know how to handle that you might be in trouble. While slipping with a FWD car the car would just go straight ahead in a corner, but that also get you in trouble though ;)
I did make a killing on $TSLA stock, but this is assumed that you would find an outlet in a huge parking lot in a sports event or outlet mall. Good luck with that. Tesla is a fantastic car, no debate, but is a hobby car that you still need to keep your old car for situations that doesn't allow you to stop and charge for an hour.
How true. I drive electric every day. And its not a 100K tel sa its a 25K Flunce ZE with a quick-swap system. I get to swap once a fortnight because otherwise the 140 Km range is plenty, and the filling station is my garage. And my cost is 3 cents a kilometer.
Thanks, I was wondering how the winter weather would affect the Tesla Model S. With his driving and really cold weather it is down to 72% of normal capacity (or 27% less range however you want to look at it.) I have read on custom electric car forums that people in colder climates often employ a battery warmer to turn on while charging (in cold weather.) I'd be surprised if Tesla does not do something similar, since they have liquid cooling in the battery pack. Heating the liquid to an optimal temperature should be no problem. Handling was covered and he had some normal rear wheel drive problems and he had the car loaded down... I would hate to get the car and need sandbags in the back for the winter months. However Tesla, I still want this car.
There are electric heaters for the battery pack. In addition the heat generated by the electric motor is routed to the battery pack in cold conditions. He did say it's a US bound model, the Norway model would probably have extra insulation.
the protocol for unified conductive wireless charging Is being introduced into big-auto evs mine is already equipped this would allow theoretically unlimited range for millions of cars with relatively simple infrastructure, no need for battery swapping or big battery packs. imagine i-95 with an ev lane powerd by solar and turbines. no stops no gas
Starting diesel in -20 C cold is hard enough. My dad stopped driving altogether during winter time. Some people don't know what real frosty conditions are: defrosting your car, frozen door, even frozen antifreeze! God damn winter.
I don't know where are you coming from, but 200-300 miles weekend day trip is not that atypical or "few percent" than you think. Avg 35-54 male drives 18858 miles a year or 51.7 miles per day. If daily commute is 40 miles for each 365 calendar day, that's average 26 200-miles road trip per year. This is about once every two weeks. So, 1/3 of the time in northern section of the country, we have to worry about range. So, might as well get a hybrid
@CaptHollister Below that 29Km remaining has almost half the battery capacity of a Nissan Leaf! @DIOSpeedDemon There is no "unproven futuristic technology" here. The Teslas consumption rates are known. Consumer reports have rated this the best ever car they have tested. The Roadster has been around for years. The Leaf is now three years old with over 92,000 units sold covering millions of miles. Plus many other makes. Even BMW are now in the game. These cells have been tested to death so all parameters are known. Tesla buys them literally in the billions. The only nut that needs adjusting now is the one screwed on peoples shoulders.
It's not his fault he's old and can remember when you bought 2 or 3 batteries for your mobile and kept them charged so you could swap a fresh one in when needed. Haven't done that in a while. Induction charging is the way.
my friend I drive an EV and am installing solar powered fast chargers in my area in fairly effective campaign to reduce the confusion around EVs. ER/EVs are still electric cars with limited electric range. most people would only need to use the battery in there "daily" commute and many buy a full EV after there experience with an ER/EV. As an EV driver I don't see the point in a traditional ICE car or truck anymore. ER/EVs are a transitional tool to get people away from ICE vehicles.- Green On!
Forget about having a Tesla in Russia. You'll have to pay extra 48% of Tesla's cost to customs + 116k rubles a year. But it won't be useless at -30°C. The only thing that won't work is the regenerator.
At -30'C battery is reduced to 40% of full capacity which means a range of 150 km - thus close to useless, at least on a trip like the one in the video.
dude, first of all, the temperature was only -6C, it is not "cold weather" at all, Oslo avg winter weather is only 1-2C colder than Boston (go check wiki), and Boston sees substantial more snow. 2nd of all, 800m elevation gain is nothing, it is typical for driving up to New Hampshire / Vermont ski resort.
dude, it was cold weather, fully loaded, gained 800m in elevation, with happy driving. Don't think it compares to Boston. Besides, will ever expanding supercharger network, 20 min. and you've got back have the charge. You have to stop every 3 or 4 hours anyways. But if you're among a few percent that drive long distances, sure, don't buy it.
I simply can't really believe that you could get better mileage in probably the worst possible conditions than the best-case mileage. Besides, the whole point of the video was to show how the car performs if you use it normally, with a loaded trunk under bad conditions. With no cheating, obviously.
All electric cars have full torque at 0 rpm. I wish he had made mention of regenerative braking and if it caused the rear wheels to have too much drag in slippery conditions.
You're right... at the end of the video, you can see "-6°C" on the dash (20°F). But still, I think Tesla is the most promised electric car compared to other so called electric cars with 100km range.
How can he say you can easily drive 300km when the range meter shows 273km ? Ok the computer says there are still 29 km to go but in the end its not easily 300km but more than close.
The point I am trying to make is when a company touts a GENUINE 300 MILE RANGE CHARGE- and of course that is a big lie unless the car fell off the top of Mount Everrest. Then the video is about range and the driver covers up the range at the start of the trip? Typical of these feel good biased reporters. Heat and cold and uphill and downhill , snow and rain and wind all effect the range. THen why does not the company give a REAL WORLD AVERAGE RANGE instead of misleading and FAUX to the customer?
So it dropes down to 300km - that's 187 miles only lol. So basically a expensive toy that will need to stay within city or plan to spent hours at chargers in winter - have fun.
Lets see him do it again with consumer reports filming and the range meter exposed so all can see the true winter driving range of this extremely expensive car. It is only Fair to ask questions about an unproven futuristic technology.
This language sounds so friendly and happy.
Det er det vel faen ikke jævla kjerring. (I said yes)
Martin A. Kjenna
Fuck, that's really bitchin'.
:D
I had the same thought. After watching this video I want to learn Norwegian. How hard would it be if I already know English and Spanish??
Quite hard, Norwegian is more similar to German per say. We Norwegians find it hard to learn spanish and such, so I assume it would go the other way around as well. But if you do wan't to learn norwegian, just go for it
The best test i ve seen so far
Enjoyed your review, I will never purchase a gas only vehicle ever again. Tesla is the future.
3:10 lol vary funny. "Vary similar of how the U.S. handles the debt." Puts tape over mileage gauge.
bro! the trunk on the frontsize! this what makes this car as twice as normal!
nice, even with the altitude changes, the cold, active driving, and loaded down with cargo!
Spend 50% of your life in sub zero (Celsius, meaning
-6 Degrees Celsius translate to 21 degrees Fahrenheit. He was driving in below freezing conditions, tons of luggage and driving up a mountain. I think the Tesla did its job. Eventually we'll see more supercharging stations in Europe and range won't even be an issue even with those challenging conditions for an EV. Great video!
Great video, better than a US review i saw.
A resounding round of applause! Once for the hilarious review and twice for the Tesla Model S.
Thank you for the English subs!
He didn't even mention the frunk ;-)
Just like Canada, Ikea and all! A hepful report. Thanks!
I think previously Tesla stated that the cold-weather spec will just be ready in time for European deliveries, because there are many places in the northern US that could definitely use it (not to mention Canada). -6c (21f) is a pretty normal winter temperature here in Northeast Ohio.
Just did and also got the word out to everyone I could! Keep up the great work guys I've got your back!
Great video. I loved the part where you pack the car up with more and more stuff.
You are right in saying that most car trips are much shorter, but remember that Europe is a small place. In countries as large as the US & Canada there is nothing at all unusual about a 400-500km weekend trip. It isn't only a few percent who make these trips.

This is a great video showing off the Model S, thanks. One of the best I've seen.
Plug it into any outlet over night for an extra 30 miles if needed at your destination. Or use an accessible 240 outlet somewhere. They are getting more and more common.
Thanks for posting this video! European cold weather package news is great!

How do you come back? Duh, the same way you got there. By plugging it in overnight to recharge.
Nice review for anyone thats is not in the states! Like
Why would you think he didn't use the heater ?
I"m not sure about the parking lot donuts (they could have been filmed at any other time), but it's a very good bet that he was using winter tires which have a higher rolling resistance.

It has a Frunk ...a front trunk and an underneath trunk under the rear hatchback area it is a 3 TRUNK car inc hatchback area !!
I loved the packing scene!
Great video, was expecting something to go in the front storage after all that loading. :D
As cool as it was to watch keep in mind all those donuts in the middle of the trip probably used 20-30km of range, rapid acceleration is the most energy intensive activity.

This video shows a stretch that climbs steadily about 800m.
Hum that's true,since it does not use gas I would think it would do fine in stop and go. Thank You for the information
@DIOSpeedDemon
If you were paying attention, he claimed the range to be 300 KILOMETRES, not miles.
So let's say it's 180-200 miles of range.. Very impressive, Tesla! I want one.
Probably better mileage than in the video. Model S actually does very well in stop-n-go traffic. It is high speed highway driving which really reduces the range. Some folks got over 400 miles (!) while driving 30 mph :)

The range was lost because he was doing donuts in a huge parking lot, because the tires had to plow trough snow most of the way, and because his right foot was heavy. Did you watch the movie?
the data is from federal highway administration
and (18858 - 365*40) / 160 ~= 26, as tagging 160 miles onto daily 40 miles quota for that day
i liked the review and i loved the place you were driving...beautiful.. did you absolutely forgot about the frunk?
I'm not driving constantly uphill with the car packed out, I live in a fairly hilly area gravity + regenerative braking gives me a roller coaster effect.

I request car tests in Siberia with -45 C.
Very interesting to know how it would be.

Gorgeous car
Starting diesel in -20 C cold is hard enough. My dad stopped driving altogether during winter time. Some people don't know what real frosty conditions are: defrosting your car, frozen door, even frozen antifreeze! God damn winter.
The case here is, Oslo -> Geilo = 800m elevation. On a way back you would have +100km range.
I don't know where are you coming from, but 200-300 miles weekend day trip is not that atypical or "few percent" than you think.

The only nut that needs adjusting now is the one screwed on peoples shoulders.
No need for a battery swap either one SUPERCHARGE or a 3 Phase 32 amp charge during a two hour stop-over would sort the 60kWh car out.
Yes you would be right in saying that :)
Great review. Funny guy!
It's not his fault he's old and can remember when you bought 2 or 3 batteries for your mobile and kept them charged so you could swap a fresh one in when needed. Haven't done that in a while.
Induction charging is the way.
turn on monomix in camera settings:(
Were normal tires used or winter tires? I'm sure with Winter Tires the cold/snow performance would improve a lot.
At 5:32 it looks like the camera takes a poop on the dash. What is that?
Great test.
Did you charge at your destination? how much energy did you use on the trip back?
A retake with an eu-spec tesla would be nice
my friend I drive an EV and am installing solar powered fast chargers in my area in fairly effective campaign to reduce the confusion around EVs. ER/EVs are still electric cars with limited electric range. most people would only need to use the battery in there "daily" commute and many buy a full EV after there experience with an ER/EV. As an EV driver I don't see the point in a traditional ICE car or truck anymore. ER/EVs are a transitional tool to get people away from ICE vehicles.- Green On!
did you forget about the Frunk?
Amazing how much stuff he got in there. We need more hatchbacks / wagons like this. Sedans with separate trunks are so stupid.
Given that the Tesla Model S is a real wheel driven electric car.. is it safe to drive on icy road conditions in Norway?? Thanks!!
But you know, −6 °С is not that cold. Is it useless in Russia where winter temps are down to −30° and lower?
yeah. -6 is not a regular winter in norway. maybe south of norway. but not whole of noway. -30 -40 is not unusual
Forget about having a Tesla in Russia. You'll have to pay extra 48% of Tesla's cost to customs + 116k rubles a year. But it won't be useless at -30°C. The only thing that won't work is the regenerator.
At -30'C battery is reduced to 40% of full capacity which means a range of 150 km - thus close to useless, at least on a trip like the one in the video.
MrOperettalover The battery is heated up when it's cold, plus the heat from the engine goes to the battery too, so you can expect 220-300 km of range.
@AutofilMagazine, what was the temperature during this experiment? Russian fans are wondering:)
har dere gjort noen tilsvarende tester med en norsk-tilpasset Tesla?
What kind of mileage on the 101 freeway on a very hot summer day in bumper to bumper traffic with the air on here in S California?
Very impressed :)
a premium price car that doesn't feel so premium inside or out
dude, first of all, the temperature was only -6C, it is not "cold weather" at all, Oslo avg winter weather is only 1-2C colder than Boston (go check wiki), and Boston sees substantial more snow. 2nd of all, 800m elevation gain is nothing, it is typical for driving up to New Hampshire / Vermont ski resort.
dude, it was cold weather, fully loaded, gained 800m in elevation, with happy driving. Don't think it compares to Boston. Besides, will ever expanding supercharger network, 20 min. and you've got back have the charge. You have to stop every 3 or 4 hours anyways.
But if you're among a few percent that drive long distances, sure, don't buy it.
Remember to leave it plugged in overnight when in the cold!
I simply can't really believe that you could get better mileage in probably the worst possible conditions than the best-case mileage.
Besides, the whole point of the video was to show how the car performs if you use it normally, with a loaded trunk under bad conditions. With no cheating, obviously.
All electric cars have full torque at 0 rpm. I wish he had made mention of regenerative braking and if it caused the rear wheels to have too much drag in slippery conditions.
there's no torque at 0 rpm imbecile. learn physics.
You're right... at the end of the video, you can see "-6°C" on the dash (20°F). But still, I think Tesla is the most promised electric car compared to other so called electric cars with 100km range.
yes, he should have put the scotch blue painter tape
Lets see how long that lasts. :)
And now how do you come back?
he didn't, this was his last video..he died in the cold snow stranded.
Fin bil =)
How can he say you can easily drive 300km when the range meter shows 273km ?
Ok the computer says there are still 29 km to go but in the end its not easily 300km but more than close.
hey he uses a canon xa10 too :3
Hvorfor har dere monolyd?
Loved the video. Thanks for the subtitles! ^_^
I may never own in Tesla in real life, but I can't wait to drive it in GT6! ^_~
is that a 85 kWh battery?
Why do I hear you only from left speaker?
your right one is broken moron
Nice!
and the basis for your statement?
The point I am trying to make is when a company touts a GENUINE 300 MILE RANGE CHARGE- and of course that is a big lie unless the car fell off the top of Mount Everrest. Then the video is about range and the driver covers up the range at the start of the trip? Typical of these feel good biased reporters. Heat and cold and uphill and downhill , snow and rain and wind all effect the range. THen why does not the company give a REAL WORLD AVERAGE RANGE instead of misleading and FAUX to the customer?
So you only got 167 miles on a 300 mile battery? , GOOD THING YOU DID NOT USE THE HEATER!!!
Should have made use of the front trunk instead of putting everything in the back...
So it dropes down to 300km - that's 187 miles only lol. So basically a expensive toy that will need to stay within city or plan to spent hours at chargers in winter - have fun.
Lets see him do it again with consumer reports filming and the range meter exposed so all can see the true winter driving range of this extremely expensive car. It is only Fair to ask questions about an unproven futuristic technology.
