Nassir is Awesome! Had my Tesla at his place to get road approved for two new years last week. As Bjørn said, they try to repair instead of replacing parts. They saved me some money and i got a free Model 3 loaner ;) Nassir usualy sit at the counter (he is the manager), so he is in the workshop just for Bjørn :)
Over 340,000km (>211,000mi) and all that's wrong is some worn out ball joints, suspension bushings, rock hammered radiators in the front and a couple of minor leaks in the AC system. That's very good performance overall. Great video series Bjorn! Really interesting and excellent results so far!
To be fair, those are hardly the only parts being faulty during those 340k km. Considering the earlier parts Bjorn changed when he owned the car last time, the reliability is below average. But on the other hand, that was maybe to be expected for a new automaker using a, mostly new, technology.
Excellent in depth review. Very impressive service and repairs and very impressive how the S has faired at 300k km. Thank you my friend, hope you’re feeling better each day
Coffee beans (ungrounded) are, by far, teh best solution for smokers cars. 1/2kg of your preferred sort will do the trick in a few days. Good to see you recovered.
yea this will be critical to know how much all of this will cost. After all many people talking about tesla like to talk about the "zero maintenance" and completely seem to ignore that its still a car and just because you need no oil change doesnt mean you need no maintenance.
I wonder if there is some sort of Award for Bjorn for his dedication to electric vehicles. I have been watching these videos for quite a few years and Bjorn has never let us, the viewer, down for any reason. Who still posts a video when they are ill? Bjorn of course. Is there a Norwegian award, a European one for outstanding service to the public. Plus, Bjorn is not an official of any kind, this is what he likes to do. What a guy. I can't believe that 28 people (or BOTS) gave a thumbs down. Grrrrrr!
I think the award is how many people view his videos, thumb up them, that he gets other people or companies to help (Marcusbil, MisterGreen), car manufacturers the provide new cars, etc. Very nice to see that.
I wish we had a shop like that around here, I really appreciate how they take the time to try and fix components rather than just throw parts at the car.
The cigarette smoke smell doesn't go away by ozone alone. Ozone also eats on all materials in the car, it's better to clean everything extremely thorough and end with chemical aerosol treatment. Why someone wants to smoke in a car is a mystery. I hope you get more help with getting the smoke taken care of. Love these videos, they are gold.
OMG.. changing that steering rack joint looked like a dream compared to other cars. Same space as if you removed the whole engine. 🤩 Looks really nice to work on Teslas.
yeah they acting like that was some extreme job LOL... that thing was barely rusted and you could get an 8ft breaker bar on that without needing heat LOL... still not sure why it was replaced, grease it and done. like all other cars in the world. no other car seals that knuckle
@@bobspurloc check earlier videos, maybe you wll se it more clearly, it had rust holes in it and was a total driving safety hazard. As Bjorn himself said. Most other cars dont have those problems with rust in those parts. It had to be replaced, no ifs or buts about it.
Most likely buying a 2013 p85 in the next month. Videos like this are extremely helpful and give me confidence I can keep it maintained for several years
Hey Bjørn. I like this kind of technical stuff videos a lot. My wife says: Stop watching videos, buy this car .... and now I am driving a MS from 2014 with 200k km and still watching your videos. 😊 Your information is absolutely helpful for my repairs. Thanks a lot
Interesting to see this documentation of the Tesla internals and repairs. Compared to a fossil garage, everything just seems less greasy and somehow less complex.
You are saving this car! This is great stuff. Keep up the good work! Btw, your older vids have inspired me to make my Model more quiet. This has worked out great for me. So thanks for that. Because of the noise reduction and aftermarket KW suspension, my Model 3 feels a lot more premium now.
Extremely informative video. We own a 2015 MS 85D in California with 50K miles (80K km) we bought used last year. We took it to Tesla when we purchased it and had a few minor issues repaired. Great to know what to be on the lookout for down the road. Looking forward to the repair cost video. Great to see Millennium Falcon returning to glory. Wish we could find an alternative to Tesla service for the suspension service. Great to have you back making your awesome videos.
Good to see Falcon getting ready for the road again. I am sure it will be possible to get it almost as good as new, even regarding smells with some good care.
I'm curious to hear more about the wiper repair. I've had the same issue as yours, and I had to buy a whole new linkage. The bearing did not seem to be replaceable. Looking forward to see the invoice. Thanks for the video.
I've used the air con cleaner and it worked really well to remove that weird dust smell you get when stopping AC and turning on outside air. Nice product!
12:42 Bilexperten Bosch service and Bjorn Nyland for the win again! This induction bolt heater is amazing. Like induction stove tops. I never knew these existed. It looked like a massive soldering iron but wasn't melting the plastic wire sleeve nearby. Thanks Bjorn and Nassir. Looking forward to a 700,000 km, 14 years old Millenium Falcon repair video too.
However, most smart people figured out it was a smalll mistake. We are humans and we make mistakes all the time. The trick is to figure out the error and interpret what it should have been. Google does this all the time. You guys have something to learn from Google.
@@bjornnyland hi Bjørn, I watch your videos for years and have been enjoying them a lot but you seem to be overreacting a little. Simple mistake you made, no need to say that we need to learn something from Google.
Keeping the underside of the car clean is definitely something that will save you a lot of trouble later on, especially with all the salt they use on the roads here in Norway during winter. I've got a fossil Golf that's now 21 years old and has done over 410 000 km. It's been maintained and kept clean underneath - we've only ever had to replace shock absorbers, that's it.
He has received a few Tesla cars through the referral program. Other than that, from what I understand, he would prefer to remain independent to have unbiased content for his subscribers. Sheeeeet
Great video! The quality is not bad indeed. Please note that cars that run 50.000km per year usually have a relatively easy life, since most kilometers are done on highways.
Interesting video. So good for the longevity of these cars that there is coming along good professional workshops that can maintain these cars for a reasonable price when out of factory warranty. A few tips to Nassir when explaining the parts in English: Mansjett=Gator. Pakning=Gasket. “Taking air out”=Bleeding the system.
I’m so impressed of quality and it shows that EVs can survive for a long time, even with panel gaps! I’m not a Tesla owner but I sure would like a model Y built in Berlin!
Hugely informative video. Planning on buying a second hand model s and this is really helpful to understand the kinds of things that could be a problem. Thanks for this.
Hi Bjorn, this is very interesting to see the condition of this car after 7 years in a winter country with salt on the roads, like here in Canada 🇨🇦.. that is a tie down in the frunk for transport usually on ships, I used to work for Autoport and had to remove these when the cars came off the ships 🚢 😀
with all due respect mr.Bjorn all of these repairs are nothing if you take a odometer and age of a car into a account. Seriously all you did is just replaced some of suspension parts,replaced steering raft and three radiators ? this car is in superb condition.
You missed the point. It's preventive. Better fix it now when it's going to break soon. Your way sounds like you drive untill it breaks. That could be dangerous.
@@bjornnyland I do think he is making the point that on other cars you would likely have needed to do a lot more (preventative or otherwise). Cars I have owned in south africa with much lower mileage than this need a lot more done to them than (even) this largely preventative work.
Not surprising to see those rusted parts, more than 300k kilometers on salted roads! It is hard for every car. But nice to see that Tesla seems to be as good as any other cars. I have Mercedes -01 C 220CDI model that has now 320k kilometers and it has had similar services. Brakes, shocks, intercooler...
That's what we do in Chicago, a frequent car wash that hits the underbody. And Tesla is barely a car company so their early models will have more issues like this. Likely things the southern California engineers rarely thought about like four seasons.
If any car goes 340,000 km before needing repairs you sure cannot complain they last forever tough fast great looking and this is a 2013? Pretty amazing.
Very good vlog. It will be interesting to see if they can remove the smoking odours. For a high mileage car the repairs you have done are not unusual IMHO.
@@janklomp9729 Yes I meant Norway. Thanks for points that out. I am also a big fan of Lars’ channel Best in Tesla -’ “Teslap “ so confused the two. So yes that would eve more than a an ausflug I guess😀
Awesome video. Great content, Bjorn! Side note, I finally Google translated Bilexperten to English. Car expert. I guessed that's what it was, but good to know for sure. I assume Marcusbil is equivalent to Marcus Cars.
very goog video, thank you very much. Will buy a model s this old one day (still much money for me) and this definitively helps knowing what to expect.
Our 07 prius had a slightly different problem - hit by a Merc late last year. We got a Kia eNiro in January. I recommend it, seems like a great car - Kia have worked out how to make excellent evs over a number of years.
Goldmine! Sent to the P85 owners I know. Request: interview, look around EV bilopphøggeri/EOL. Parts reuse, recycling, their evaluations of gone by EVs
This is the future keeping EV cars on the road, very interesting insight, and have gain more respect for Tesla build quality! Good to see you back and well again Bjorn, hope wifies doing ok?
