    I think it takes a mature person to realize when you need help. It also takes a humble person to ask for assistance loan included. I wish you continued success.

      Björn is a good guy i am here since the beginning and some people are quick to judge without even making an effort to fully understand the whole topic. Those people will judge any person even their partner probably - so really björn dont lose any sweat over those people.

    I'm really glad you have a way forward on this. I am sure at times having a partner will be uncomfortable. But change doesn't come easy just like with this wonderful house you have. I think giving a little back to locals would be great. I don't know if maybe you can help with owners clubs more as you have in past. Tesla has helped a lot but I know a lot of other brands have really stepped up (at least in Europe) for EVs. Showing those brand communities some attention would be ok too.
    As much as I know you, which I really don't but UA-cam makes it like you do know someone... I think you do your best and your videos are invaluable when it comes to new EV owners. Those looking for an upgrade to a new or even used EV can get lots of good information. You are well trusted and even in the videos that don't look so positive show you want to uphold that trust.

    You asked for test idea. Regen test: Drive an EV uphill (Holmenkollen in Oslo?) Write down the guessometer km at the top. Roll downhill while controlling the speed only with regening, no physical braking. Keep it at 25 km/h or below to avoid air resistanse from disturbing the experiment. Write down km how far you rolled. Turn around and drive back the same road uphill. Also slow. Stop when the guessometer reaches the same km you had at the top. How many km, or percent, or perhaps altometer meters, did you now drive uphill compared to the whole stretch? That's the regen percent of the car. You won't reach the top of course, no EV has 100% regen. I'm guessing around 25-35% for many. Early sunday mornings are best to avoid traffic disturbances and you having to engage the physical brakes, all braking should be regen braking if at all possible. If a physics student or professor could ride along with you that would be a video I and perhaps many would watch 🙂

    All the best Björn, I'm happy things are looking up and you are getting all the financial things sorted. It's also extremely valuable that you will get a partner for your company. Having a business partner means you can discuss business and strategic choices with someone who knows how your business works and who has "skin in the game" and directly relevant experience, which is much better than trying to filter the good advise from bad from the viewers or having to figure it all out alone, which I can only imagine is super-stressful.
    And about monetisation: your channel and your work, all the data etc. is a treasure trove for all ev drivers and there are definitely ways in which you can monetise the channel better, without losing any of your credibility and independence. Merch, speaking gigs, consultations, sponsored videos or segments etc. We all know your professional opinion is not for sale and your approach is so data-driven and based on objective measurements anyway that nobody thinks poorly if you move a bit closer to what every other youtube channel does already in terms of including sponsors. Just a wacky idea, how about selling naming rights to your test segments, e.g. The Kempower 1000k Challenge or the Rema1000 Banana Box Test? :)

    Hey Bjorn, love your videos. I have been watching you for a couple of years now. But I kind of miss the old days style video. They were more "wild" and unscripted. Here are my suggestions for content
    - Off roading. Test dual motor cars. How these engines behave, when 4wd engages. Definitely a lot of potential in the winter.
    - Races or cooperation videos. Pawel and other guys
    - High speed (autobahn) tests
    - Technology deep dives. How things work (motors, ac, battery conditioning). This can be done as coop with your partners like Elbilmek, as they have the expertise and workshop
    - Repair videos. How it's done, how much it costs
    - Car accessories (sponsorship)
    - Generally more sponsorship to keep you afloat
    - Merchandise. Long overdue to be able to buy merch with your epic quotes.
    - Website. Make your test results in nice representative form. You are THE MAN when it comes to collected data

    I'm really happy for you. You and your channel are so important for the turnaround in drive technology - in so many countries. Who buys a BEV without first seeing your 1,000 km challenge (and other videos) about this vehicle? I'm really excited to see what's going to change on your channel - and that's really meant to be extremely positive. When making merch, please also think about the large sizes, because many other UA-camrs don't have that on their radar. Oh yes, what I remember as extremely positive in the comments in the previous video was the idea of ​​entering into a kind of “temporary partnership” with the UA-cam channel “Out of Spec”. There are potentially another 200,000+ subscribers to your channel and the owner of the channel is obviously watching your videos since the content partially overlaps. Don't let the haters get you down, they exist under almost every video. We'll read about it in the next live stream... Best regards from Germany!

Ignore the haters, there will always be jealousy and hate, especially on the internet where people feel comfortable judging. You are a hard working top tier Tesla UA-camr and we should be supporting you all the way. Good luck with your new business partner and take your time bro. No rush. Even if you don’t make a single video for a year, me and a big chunk of your audience will still be here watching whatever’s next. Get the deal, take care of your family, let your mind and body relax and from that point you’ll automatically get creative together with your new channel partner and you’ll come up with great new video’s. I know you will.
    Dare to be different and be yourself! Never, never feel ashamed for being yourself.

    Many EV people come to your channel for info, but also since so many cars are sold over the years, many consider used cars so I would definitely welcome more like the Elbilmek and Bosch videos where you look at typical issues with a model and ideally also like how the 2019 model 3 has the PTC heater failing etc. So a "used car guide" going through strenght and weaknesses in quality and cost for a long term owner of a used car, but also going into if features are nice to have or need to have. There's tons of little details, maybe the suspension links have been upgraded to wear less? Is Octovalve far more reliable than the PTC? I even see the non-electric trunk lid has wear issues the 2021 electric trunk does not. So Fremont vs Berlin vs China.
    So much to help viewers out on. I personally was dead certain on a 2019 model 3, but then prices fell, 2021 model seems to have a lot of nice upgrades, but then suddenly... then a new SR+ is not too far off either, and the range is now impressive vs 2019 SR+...

    I’m watching your videos since 4-5 years and only because of your videos I was able to choose the right BEV for me and I’m sure it’s the same for whole many other people here.
    You’ve got caught at wrong place at wrong time. Other than that you don’t need to justify to anyone about the space you need and how big the house is. Because it’s your house and it’s where you live not others. And you’re asking for loan. People are donating because we like your videos we have seen you grow from small apartment as a couple to two kids and house now.

    Could you find a local Tesla FSD test driver to interview? It would be great to understand how good FSD 12.4 is on European roads without any Europe specific training. Perhaps cover the regulation situation in Norway to understand when FSD might be allowed there. Perhaps you have some contacts in Tesla to help.

    I've been following you since five years when I bought my first EV. You do a really good job and your tests provide the best objective data. I'm glad you found a solution to your situation, and I hope the channel will develop in the same spirit. I would like to see more content on how EVs last throughout the years when it comes to cost of ownership, especially battery degradation and even replacement. This is a big issue, not only for byers of used EVs but also for those who by new vehicles. I would personally also be very interested in more content on new technology, and how it compares to current state of art. Eg. new battery technology.
    When it comes to your financial situation, I read most of the comments in your previous video. I think you should be careful disregarding the critical comments as hateful, most av them are correct and give good advice. Asking private persons to lend you large amounts of money completely without security to a 10% interest rate IS very close to begging. They will not be prioritized in the event of personal bankruptcy, and would therefore loose their money since selling the house will not cover the dept (a very likely outcome so 10% interest is a very low compensation for that risk). It doesn't matter if you are a nice guy and intend to pay back. I am happy that you found a solution with an investor that buys a share in your business. That way, no private person will be put into great financial risk and you will not increase your dept (on which you have to pay interest and amortization).
    Good luck with developing your business, and good luck with the house!
