Bjørn's Tesla Model S #2: 375 km/233 mi on a single charge in Norwegian winter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2024
- My second Tesla Model S road trip video. This time I was attempting to drive 375 km/225 mi on a single charge, in Norwegian winter conditions. On the way, I also carried a kitten, a flat TV and the belongings of a student moving home to her parents.

This is gold to rewatch this video is. You are the best BJORN 👍🏼🤟🏻✌️
Bored waiting for the Tesla Model 3 to come to the UK and decided to rewatch Bjorn's early experiences with the Model S. So much has changed. :D
For some reason the OG trip videos are recommended to me. Watched them almost a decade ago....and now they are still great fun to watch.
Tesla kicked ass for the Lord a decade ago...with superchargers (all 4 of them in Europe 😂) just working and the app as well. Lots of EV today still can't do what a Model S did back then.
I love watching these owner experience videos. If I ever win the lottery a Model S P85+ is the first thing I'd buy.
Good choice :)
I'd prefer the Model X, actually, but I know what you mean. That car is like a childhood dream... If they combine it with Google's automated car tech... I think I'd have to take a second mortgage ;).
So did you win lottery?
@@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse Nowadays google wants THEIR automation software :D
@@ttt-teslatippstricks2385 Yeah, and I don't want a Tesla no more. How times change :D.
i don't know why i sat through 1 hour watching 2 videos. something about this dude, his "well"s and his "hmmm"s, the music and the car that keep me wasting my time glued to the monitor. fun vids!
Thank you for watching :D
Enjoyed! My wife and I especially enjoyed the part when you picked up the kitty. As you can see by our profile pic, we're a fan of cats. And we like Tesla's and "well"s and "hmmm"s! Looking forward to the next one.
Seriously the most honest reviews I have seen about this car from a real customer. Even though you had the "option" to edit out some of your "difficulties" you chose to put it in there and talk about how you worked through it. Yes, this is a new experience to be worked through and figure out, but clearly it has impacted your life in a fun and positive way!
While I am a huge fan of everything Tesla, it is certainly refreshing to see someone talk and show things about the car without the propaganda from either side of the argument.
Thank you for the feedback :) Yes, I don't try to hide the flaws about the car. But I also don't whine too much about them. All cars I've owned had flaws. The best thing to do is to live with it and make workarounds.
Great video Bjørn. Well edited and shot.
Thank you for the feedback :)
I love watching both you guys' videos
Im a new subscriber and i love these old videos you posted. Relaxing to watch
I want to thank you for your great videos about the performance of your Tesla. It gives a great idea on how good Tesla is. Kind regards, Anthony
Anthony Vandevelde Thank you for the feedback :)
Awesome video, Bjørn! You are one of the few people on UA-cam who I can watch for 30 minutes in one sitting. I think it would be great if you could do a winter performance driving video where you show how the car handles in winter. I'm from Minnesota, where our winters are similar to yours in Norway.
I will make reviews about driving in Norwegian winter weather later :) Thanks for the tip.
Love the early videos. The tasks were fun to watch.
On a side note: 3500 NOK for the British Shorthair = $417 USD. The kittens that are free at a local shelter are just as wonderful. Also love the Tesla and I do hope models from Tesla that the rest of us can afford will become a reality.
I am getting hooked on this videos. Tesla is a pioneer car and that gives sense of adventure even when planing the route.
omg i started to watch your old videos... and i regret NOTHING! :D the cat is amazing
I love your videos! They are entertaining, fun, a little weird (but in a very good way!), and gives someone like me a never before view of Norway (beautiful country!)!
Thank you for the feedback :)
Dude..Seriously love these videos. I'm now addicted to them! Please keep them coming. Norway is a beautiful country. Have a Model S myself and do a lot of driving as well for my job. I also find the car very comfortable to sit in for long times.
Thank you for the feedback :) Enjoy your Model S, fellow driver
I'm glad you conducted this test. It is more thorough than the others i've seen. I wrote about it on Kompulsa today.
Awesome review :D I love it!
Bjørn Nyland Thanks! Could you share it for me? :D Kompulsa gets so little traffic.
I will :)
Really nice video Bjørn.. my Ampera only gets half it's normal range here in the UK winter time.. Great to see that Tesla have overcome the 'potential' cold weather issues. I'm saving up my pennies to get one of these!
Thank you for the very useful feedback. I have read that Mitsubishi i-MiEV was able to do less than 100 km in winter, whereas the rated range is 160 km. That's a 40 % reduction. Tesla gets a 500 km -> 400 km reduction which equals to 20 % only. My theory is that a certain amount of energy is needed for the battery heater. So the bigger the battery, the better range and less % drop in range during winter.
Great videos Bjørn. Nice to see/hear how it is to live with a Tesla. Keep the videos coming, Im already looking forward to the next one.
Great video. Bjorn is a creative guy with a wonderful sense of humor. Keep the videos coming. Can't wait to see Norway in summer and your Tesla at a car wash!
Thank you for the feeback :)
Great video Bjorn, you rock!
Thank you =)
Haha, I broke down when you said to the kitty, "Here's your brother from another mother". Great video though.
I love Rush Hour :D Thank you for the feedback.
Another epic film! Cheers!
Thank you :)
Another great video! A good snapshot of what it's like to travel using a Model S.
I also signed up to be notified when Easybring comes to Canada. Seems like a great service.
I talked to Easybring. They are planning to go worldwide one day.
Bjørn Nyland three years and they are in Canada but apparently they think we use USD here, also no advertising for it and apparent interest.
Nice video, I like the professional touch it has.
Thank you :)
I don't even remember how I stumbled on this video, but it was surprisingly entertaining! Norway is beautiful. :-)
I love Tesla so it's great to see owners making quality videos of their everyday use and such. I'm surprised by how easily you have adjusted to electric, from the BMW estate car. I hope to purchase an electric vehicle when the prices have become more economical, but for now all i can do is drool over youtube videos.
Your videos are great, i've watched every one!! lol Great camera work ;)
Before using an EV, I had to learn a little about the different connectors and understand the charging speeds. But other than that, it's pretty straight forward. Using an ICE car also require some knowledge. Like what fuel to use (diesel or petrol), what octane rating you need, how to check the engine oil and so on.
Thanks for the feedback :)
I guess calculating charging time is just as easy as you calculate how much fuel you need for a trip with a conventional car. You need to use other kind of formulas, which formulas have been learned in elementary school. Am I right, Bjorn? :)
7xradzam Yes, you're right.
This video was strangely entertaining :) Enjoyed it
Thank you for watching :D
Great videos man! Gives you a great idea of real world usage
What a phenomenal peace of machinery.
Hey dude! I really like your vidoes man! Very honest reviews, waiting for model s to arrive at my country than gotta get one too! Thanks for the great vids keep it up!!
Thank you for the feedback :) Which country are you from?
Israel :)
that cat is so sweet!
Great videos, really useful. Please continue to post some more from time to time!
I will :) Thanks for the feedback.
Bjørn, to start I love that your videos are so informative and you are actually talking to us rather than at us. You have said you are a programmer, I was curious on how you like it and whether you recommend it(I love computers and the programming that I have done in my studies so far so I believe I would love that aspect) as a career.
I love programming and I recommend it if you like and understand it. Thank you for watching my videos :)
when I saw Tesla Model S first time I promise myself that I will buy it if I get chance to do it. In case that it's quite expensive I start searching for any useful reviews and to be honest Your is the best I've ever seen because You are testing this car in normal/typical situations. In free time I'll watch all others Your videos! And maybe I will be able to ask You about Tesla in Norway in case I'm thinking of moving to Norway in next year ;)
Keep going with what You are doing! best regards
Thank you for the feedback :) I hope you get to buy a Tesla soon!
You make me want to own a Tesla Model S so bad :D
I love this guy. Great videos, man.
Thank you :)
You're something. Nice job on the kitten.
That cat's meow is so cute
Lucky kitty..Riding a Tesla..!
Also thanks for this great video Bjorn. Another interesting possibility to get to know my next car. Greetings from Germany
When are you getting yours? I heard that by next year there will be a whopping 100 SCs in Germany. I will be going on a road trip there next summer :D
the SCs in Germany are the main prerequisite for ordering a Model S for me, but I think it will not be 100, but maybe lower than the half. Currently there are 3 under construction I think. If you come to Germany please let me know. If you want you can overnight here and charge with 16 A. I'm in the North of Germany.
Heinz-Ulrich PLagge Awesome :) Can we get a bratwurst?
Just started watching your videos. Great work, man! Btw, I was studying in Molde in 2007-2009, such amazing souvenirs :'-) I remember as well this Dombås, where the bus from Oslo to Molde always stopped. Great to know that there is a Tesla station now.
Awesome roadtrip Videos with your S, I Love them.!
The Driver :-D
Thank you for the feedback :)
Flott video! :)

Cool video.
Die Zukunft hat begonnen. Tesla wird alles überspühlen. Schade dass sie noch kein Model für kleine Leute entwickelt haben ! Vor 20 Jahren wäre so etwas wie Tesla undenkbar gewesen. Und die Welt staunt, nicht nur ich. Ein Traum dieses Auto !!!!
Quite nice!
Man you should make more Tesla-videos!! They are awesome, everyone of them.
I will :) Hopefully one every week :)
Looking back at this is like a time travel.
I think he will make more videos....actually he is putting out a LOT...:-)
Written in 2021
Great videos! Amazing car! And to think, this is only version 1.0 of the Model S. Subscribed!
I like your videos so much!
Cool :)
I like your roadtrip videos and I think today's children haven't posters in their bedrooms about big gasoline musle cars, they dream about an electric beauty, like Model S! ;-) World is changing and it's lovely!
I just started to watch your videos, and I started from the beginng more or less :-)
They are really good!
The 32amps are Type 2 adapters and the 50kw Quickchargers are Chademos, but theresa Will be som adapters at the stations.
Merry Christmas Bjørn thanks for this informative video.. We still can't buy them in Australia yet ! :-\ so I got tesla shares instead... Already made 30% .. Can't wait to see the next video - we need easy bring in OZ
Merry Christmas :D I hope Tesla comes to Australia soon. At least you're making money on shares. Unfortunately I never did that. Yes, Easybring said to me that they are planning on going worldwide.
It's neat to watch a Tesla drive in Norway, I've only seen the supercharger map before this. Winter doesn't seem to be a problem for the car.
Winter is not a problem at all. I use this car just like any other car I've owned. On long haul trips I still have to stop to eat and go to the restroom anyways.
nice vids thank you :) nice and relaxing and honest sharing of your experiences with the car :)
Thank you for the feedback :)
Hey Bjørn, lovely videos, I'm enjoying them allot and like some say, I'd love to see more as well! You seem like a very funny and yet interesting person to watch at with these video's.
As far for my Knowledge there are not much Tesla's in the Netherlands but the ones I've seen this far are usually the Roadsters, I tend to like the Model S allot and with your video's you seem to teach me allot of aspects about this car! Perhaps you'd like to do more "close-looks" about your specific car?
For now, I wish you safe Kilometers with it and hope you'll treat us all with these fine video's!
Greetings from the Netherlands! :-)
Thank you for the nice feedback :) What do you mean by "close-looks"? Do you mean going through details about the functionality of the car? I think I do that bit by bit on every movie already.
I'm looking forward to visiting The Netherlands and other countries next year on my road trip :)
thanks Again nice movie
Wow, i enjoy these adventures alot, you should make one every month or so!
The plan was to make every week. But maybe once every two week is more realistic :)
Sounds good to me, the more the better.. Is this what you do for a job?
MCSGproject I work full time as a programmer in the University of Oslo.
Hi Bjørn. I really like you videos. If you are planning a trip next year a little more south, we will have 3 or 4 supercharges in Denmark. We already have a lot of 50kw stations where you pay 2 Danish kroner per kw.
Please keep posting these great videos.
Regard from Denmark
Nice :) Are these Type2 chargers?
Really enjoyed it! :)
Amazing! Your early videos
with free charging you can drive anywhere around the world.
I believe the reason the Tesla / Google mapping software was able to correctly display your position in the tunnel (even without a GPS signal) is because it was using triangulation from the 3G (cellular) towers to plot your position on the map. Not positive, but a guess.
Yes, it makes sense that Tesla/Google maps uses 3G to plot the position.
Nice video, like all your videos.
Thank you :)
Great video you can make a show just taking stuff across Norway in the Tesla Model S I would not miss an episode.
Thank you for the feedback and for watching :D
Not the nail-biting range issue from last time, but a good video none the less. Thanks Bjørn. Impressive to get 375km on one charge in winter weather, and still have lots to spare. What did you do to conserve energy? Keep speed limits and lower heat?
Range mode, 19°C and 70-80 km/h was all I did. Driving slower is the best and easiest way to conserve energy. At higher speed, more wind will blow over the windows cooling them down faster. The heater will then have to use more energy to warm up the car.
Range mode also seem to only heat up the front part of the car. No air was coming out of the rear vents.
Bjørn Nyland Yes, and I guess reducing speed also reduces aerodynamic drag =)
Well have to keep in mind that in Norway the electricity is extreme cheap.
In denmark the kilowatts prizes is proberly 10 times as high.
Blast from the past!
Another greta video m8 :-) keep them coming...i think you will like the vídeos i have in My chanel of the model S ... might give you more ideas for your next video...
Eco-friendly removal service/pet taxi ! Sort of. Maybe you had a tailwind on the return trip? That time you nearly ran out looked like a blizzard, maybe the winds were part of the problem. I suppose having to compact fresh snow with the tyres increases wh/km. Also cold temps = denser air, more air resistance, stiffer rubber in the tyres = more rolling resistance.
man you are great!!!
Thank you =)
Hey, dude, you looked so young back then. Haha, been following you since 2019 when I bought my first EV, Tesla Model S Performance.
Subscribed:) looking forward to more tesla videos!
Thank you for subscribing :)
Thank you for another great video Bjørn :)
I am going to watch all your Tesla videos :)
When there is slippery condition as you had over the mountain how is the Tesla when you release the gas pedal and the back wheels brake to regenerate electricity? Can this cause the car to slide or does the traction control reduce the regenerate braking if the car looses grip?
Thank you for the feedback and for watching my videos :)
Yes, in really slippery conditions, the regen is actually powerful enough to lock the wheels. But right away traction control kicks in. But it's never dramatic or any problem with my Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 studded tires. Maybe this is worse on studless tires.
Great video, but you do not abbreviate kilometers-per-hour as _kph_ (instead of _km/h_) in Norway, do you?
Yeah, I prefer it that way.
Another very interesting video about real world use of a Tesla model S. I also like that your driving conditions are pretty similar to those I'd encounter here in Quebec, Canada. I'm a bit surprised that your using what's really a very expensive luxury sedan as a moving truck. But what better demonstration of the car's qualities could you make? I hope that some day soon, another type of storage system is invented, such as condensators, that allow for super-fast charging.
The car should be used as a car and not just as a showoff ;) So moving things is one of the purpose of the car. I am careful to not damage anything in the car while moving. And so far it's been good. It's the last time I will move birds though :P Condensators charge quickly, but the capacity is way too low compared to batteries.
the good old time...right björn?
Good Job buddy nice video.
Thank you :)
About the tunnel trip and Tomtom losing track of you, it's most likely the model of your Tomtom. For example, a rather old, but highend model GO920 has an accelerometer in it just for that occasion, when you lose track of satellites and estimates your movement based on accelerometer data and I've seen it work rather ok.
Yes, what you describes is what I also guessed. In many occasions, TomTom will use the entering speed in a tunnel and sense turning inside.
When you were charging at the Tesla garage in Trondheim, you seemed to have the charge rate limited to 16A. Surely that's not much faster than the 13A you were getting at your cousin's house?
I was using a red plug which has 400 V, 3-phase 16 A at Tesla garage. It was a lot faster than 16 A 220 V :)
I like your vids! I have a nissan leaf myself and i love it!!
Cool :) Do you get about 1.5 kW/10 km?
Bjørn Nyland well i have a 24kw battery which 21 is usable. In current weather conditions which is spring in get about 6.5kw/h which rounds up about 136km. My daily commute is 30km so it's pretty safe even in harsh winter conditions.
Can you wear more clothes and save energy by reducing car heating? Or is it pointless?
I can. And in video #5 I do exactly that :)
Super fedt at du ligger udgift / indtægten op.
Funny to watch youre old videos :-)
2:17 how do you know its not a scam ? what if you pay the sender 3500 kr and then never hear from the receiver and sender ?
(and the sender/receiver address is false)
1. I have the cat.
2. If it's a scam then I'll call Nimber to help me out and also file a report to the police.
3. I have the sender's address. Nimber have the receiver's address, phone number and other information.
Wow, I think this car has enough room for ALL of my belongings :D (except furnitures, of course :D )
Its storage capacity is huge!
About navigation without GPS, that's what accelerometers are used for. Maybe car has one and tom tom doesn't. This is how submarine subs used navigation before GPS, by calculating small differences in positions you can track the way you move in a 3d space.
My TomTom GO930 has an accelerometer. When entering a tunnel, it will take the entering speed and use that one to calculate where I'm going. If I turn in the middle of the tunnel it should sense that too. But the system works only 50 % of the time. The other times it is just lost and doesn't want to guess where I am.
The in-car GPS systems normally have a connection to the wheel rotation or trip counter. That's how Google knows where you are. As they always do anyway... ;)
I like using both GPS. When I was on the ferry, Tesla's GPS didn't register that I was moving while TomTom registered it.
Bjørn Nyland This is probably because the wheels where not spinning. As Henning said, the in-car does probably not extrapolate from your speed when entering the tunnel, no need for that when it knows your actual speed, and also your steering input will give info on direction change in the tunnel as well.
Bjorn, why are you using TomTom if you have 2 satnavs in Tesla: 1. Google maps on big screen; 2. Satelite navigation on dash.
Are they not reliable?
Please go back to making videos like this... Miss these road trip videos with editing
Takes too long.
That burger looked AWESOME. What was the restaurant called?
Awesome Model S too. I love that car.
Thank you for the feedback :) The restaurant is called Jafs! :D
LOL - great trip....... miouuuuuu..... :-)
One Q. What happen when you fall to water with 373V battery?
I have no idea. But I'm sure Tesla built it fool-proof.
Great video with lots of detail. Question: What's all the crud on the back of the car around the 29:50 mark when you are unpacking all the stuff in the trunk? I live in Canada and we get pretty brutal winters also. But that doesn't look like slushy snow.
Thank you for the feedback :) The gray/brown stuff is snow + sand/mud mixed with salt. It's very common in Norway during winter.
Haha, my dog is freaking out from the cat noises
ผมอยู่ที่อเมริกาครับ กำลังคิดว่าจะซื้อรถนี่ดีมั้ย ขอถามไ่ด้มั้ยครับว่า คุ้มค่ามั้ยที่จะซื้อรถรุ่นนี้ ขอบคุณครับ
Yes, just buy it :)
Thank you very much for this new one. I think I will be a fan of your tesla videos... :-)
I was very curious how you will solve the charging problem when you was far from the first supercharger. It's reassuring Tesla is ready to help owners.
Did you already tried the other public charging solutions like mennekes type2 charging points? I think they are existing probably at many places in norway, even with 22kW of power. Or not?
Otherwise I hope the ferry companies may will offer an EV charging point onboard (even if not for free), that may be a good time saving feature when charging during the trip (if it's long enough of course). Generally ships (and ferrys too) are equiped with big onboard generator(s) actionned by the ship's main engine(s). Then I think the needed electric power is already available...
I like your animated maps in your videos. Can you tell me what sw you use to make them?
Still waiting for your next new video ;-)
Thank you for the feedback :) Yes, it's good to know that the Tesla will do about 400 km in winter conditions.
I have tried 22 kW Type 2 charging points in Oslo. I get 100 km/hour rated range. At the moment there are more CHAdeMOs than Type2 chargers in Norway. But many Type2 are planned.
Yes, I tought about charging on the ferry. But the trip was only 20-30 minutes long so it wouldn't make much of a difference. Besides, there's an environment aspect of this too. The electricity would come from a dirty diesel engine :P To save energy, it's better to just reduce the speed by 5-10 km/h.
I use Photoshop to make the frozen lines and map first. And then I use After Effects and rotoscoping method to animate the line. This tutorial is very useful:
www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/graffiti_writing/
Bjørn Nyland
In that case I think you may waiting the avaiability of CHAdeMO adapter from Tesla. But his price is very high...
And thanks for the tip, I will try to follow this tutorial.
Gabor111 Yes, CHAdeMO adapters cost about $1200 in Norway. But I think I will get it anyway because it's so common.
Hi Bjørn Nyland, just wondering if the Google maps in your Tesla notified you of the road closure, or if you found out through other ways?
