Tesla Model 3 serviced at Bilexperten Bosch 

Norway: Where your car mechanic speaks three languages.

Hanging the caliper on the brake line is a no no. It can tear without any visual indication / leak and 1-3 months later you'll notice reduce braking.

I lost 5% range due to the brakes not releasing. So that's important on EVs to test if they release properly.

Letting the caliper hang from the brake hose 😫😰

Bjorn, the weird smell is the evaporator coil leaving moisture and causing mold to form in the area and possibly in the cabin air filter. Pretty bad. Anyways the place where you put the cabin air filter has the evaporator coils towards the left side towards the car. You need to use an evaporator cleaner and run it through your HVAC to clean it out. Had the same issue as 47k kms. Smells like wet socks... lol. Hope this helps.

All this can be done by yourself like cabin filter , brake. Very easy to do

Exceptional attention to detail and value!

I liked everything of this video, thanks for making it, Bjørn!

Surface rust on driveshafts is not a problem and happens on most cars. As long as rubber is not split it’s fine. Turn off re-gen occasionally and use brakes to clean them.

Those missing screws are worrying... /me is going to have a look under mine.

Great video. I really appreciate these real world videos to help is know what Tesla ownership is like! Very few issues on this one for 43,000 km !

Alltid hyggelig og se på dine videoer

see, on fossils, you used to heat the rotors up enough once in a while to burn out that rust. now you need to do a few stops from 80 to just rolling near zero as fast as and hard as you can about 4 times in a row every once in a while to clean it out. like maybe once a month on the electric.

Just had my model3 summer tires swapped for cold weather tires at my citroen garage. Had them measure the tread depth. Mine were slightly more worn on all insides, but not cause for concern. Maybe I will ask them to do a left/right swap in spring. Little more work, but tire stuff is important. Interesting, the rust on the drive shafts...let's see how that develops. Also...you should check the liner in the wheel arches...could be pins missing there too. Especially at the back.

rust on the drive saft is normal. no worries .

The opening in the top of the wheel well is very likely an Aero “feature”. Tesla has been very clever with this duct. You should test consumption with the vent blocked and open normally. Probably one of the small things that add up to the amazing efficiency of the Model 3

Lucky guy to have such a advanced service station for Tesla in your neighborhood.

Geez, don't sniff the filters, there could be all kinds of pollutants and moulds in there!

Cool video Byorn. Cool to see the mechanics going step by step. Funny to see the Teslas have a lot of similar parts to ICE cars, especially suspension and drive shaft.

Yes, recommended services. Had MX brakes cleaned and other procedures after 34,000 Miles (75,000k), just $275 after 2 1/2 years from Tesla service in Cincinnati.

I checked my cabin filters myself after a year. Only one was slightly dirty. No mildew or damp smell with mine. Yours were super dirty. There were bolts that fell out of that bottom panel on my 3. It's a service bulletin for some the 2018 maybe Early 2019 cars. They did update the panel itself because of water causing it to become weak or tear. Mine was replaced beginning of 2019.

Great video! Very useful content.

this shows the importens of a yearly control when driving some distanse or hammering at autobanh

Mann and Wix make great filters. Many factory filters are made by them just repackaged and rebranded.

You should get some ACF50 and spray on to the drive shaft to prevent rust it's great for preventing rust from driving salted roads.

Did they try and sell you an oil change, new water pump and timing belt?

Those filters from model s probably had been made by polish company called "Filtron". Tesla like other company is commisioning production of their filters, brakes etc.

DON'T go back there. just a suggestion. they shouldn't let the brake caliper hang by brake line. also they shouldn't check the control arms like that.

I'm surprised Bosch doesn't seem to have their own branded air filter for the Model 3.

Fluid Film is good stuff! Brake inspection saves alot of grief. They still need to function properly even though 90%+? of braking is by regen. The parking brake is still mechanical on my KIA EV -not sure what Tesla does.

I've run those Mann anti allergen filters on my Subaru for the last 2 years, and they work great. I've driven past slush spreaders (watered down manure, smells absolutely horrid) without even noticing the smell.

The rust on the casing of the CV joints are just cosmetic, if you want to keep it rustfree just clean it with a wire brush and cover it with sticky grease / wax. There are 2 casings on each driveshaft, one at the DU the other one at the bearing / brakedisk.

I'd say just use your breaks more often. Otherwise the breaks will be rusty soon. The noise is quite normal and comes from a little rust on the breakdisks. I would just change the filter from time to time and check if the weels have some play while you change from summer to winter tyres. You can simply check the wheelplay with your hands, no tools needed! I'm a pro and do it that way. Ok, I drive Toyota's so usually no breakages at all for a looong time... I hope Tesla will go the Toyota route and try to make very reliable cars in the future. I'm thinking about a change from Toyota to Tesla 3! But first I want to check out how good the quality of the Model 3 is. Not compared to the bad cars, compared to Toyota, Lexus and maybe Honda. Thank you for the video.

Nice work!

Great video, Bjørn! 😊 Are you still happy with the Nereus/Firemax tyres? I bought my P100D second hand with Maxxis Arctictrekker, and I think they work fine. Curious about how the Nereus/Firemax are doing in comparison.

Bjørn har du hatt problemer med at dørene og dørhåndtakene fryser, hvordan har det vært med de tidligere teslaene dine om vinteren? Vi har også en modell 3 og når den står ute over natten i minusgrader fryser håndtakene fast så man ikke kan trykke de inn og vinduene popper ikke ned når man først har fått opp døra.

The cover above the wheel would definitely help with noise!

Very Interesting video!!

Mold grows in a damp filter, my wife was sick in our used electric as they did not change the filter! When I changed it she was suddenly fine!

Good morning Bjørn, i have a question: In comparison with millennium falcon and optimus prime, how often did you change the air filter in those cars?

16:04 I get the same on the toilet :) Does Bosch make TP?

Is surface rust on the drive shaft really a problem?

Hopefully the Tesla truck (and all future teslas) will have: 1. Full metal underbody protection. 2. Variable torsion sway bar for full articulation and ground contact. 3. Much better clearances for large diameter tyres (suspension assembly is too close). However I think the range will be terrible when loaded/ towing/ remote areas. Also the breakover may be poor because of the large wheel base.

Super interesting

Clean all the rubber and plastic pieces and spray them down with 303 protectant, along with the weatherstripping.

it hurts me seeing the caliper hanging by the hydraulic system... the stress put on those tubes just by hagging, always use something to hold them, not the hydraulic tubes! ... BAD PEOPLE, BAD PEOPLE!!!

Never go there again. They could have at least put some effort in checking that suspension by taking off the covers. All they bother was to put some silicone on doors and change the wipers. I will not even try to comment that loose calliper swinging around..

Nice to watch as always Bjørn. Hvad skulle du give af NOK for at få bilen serviceret?

The bad smell could be also come from a filthy ac radiator. Because of a wet radiator stuff will built up and smell. It can be cleaned aswell

Good Mann filter with polyphenols and activated charcoal I think

Pro stuff!

You probably want to add a bit negative camber if your tires wear out on the outside.

I'm now gonna crawl under my can to tighten those panels

Why do they remove the brake caliper? Just remove the pads from the front (on front wheels)...

I‘m wondering if the brakes stay cleaner when using aerocapwheels🤔 Mine in on Aeros and for now the rims as well as the brakecalipers stay pretty clean👌

What rims are on the car?

Every Bosch service centre should have a Robert :-D

And I use silicon wipers. I change just the siliconblade all 4 years or so, they hold up for a very long time if you hold them clean. These Bosch wipers are not really good quality in comparison...

What kind of jack pad adapters are they using? They’re not just flat blocks are they?

17:22 snow falls while car is sitting there during lecture.

Tesla is doing a s***t job with missing screws. Had that on my Model 3 too.

2:47 And the new one Ohhhhhh : no smell 😂😂😂

They say that moisture accumulates in the brake fluid and it should be changed every 6000 miles.. I never changed my brake fluid ever going on 12 years. What can rust in the tesla brake system? They say that you should change the coolant around the battery and I wished you would have shown that method. You take off the panel which you have missing screws and remove a plug and drain and then open a plug and pump in new coolant. Damn I wish you would have shown that method. You could put on rust converter paint on the drive shall easily if you remove the panel.. the two bolts and three push in tabs... it is clearly seen and easily brushed with RUST CONVERTER paint. Nice to see the cabin filter in the glove compartment area when you take off the panels... Recommended service is: cabin filter, brake fluid exchange and coolant exchange and check brakes... They charge you 850 dollars in the states...

Rich rebuilds used only a kitchen knife..😀.

now does a Service center like that one need a stamp from Tesla to no void warrenty ? Since Tesla just opened in Iceland noone is doing these inspects here....

8:15 Is that caliper just hanging by the brake line? :O

Hy Björn, why don't Bosch service change the oil, oil filter, alternater and timing belt, engine air filter, spark plugs, fuel filter, transmission oil? :) Greetings from Germany

And W T H with that hole above the front wheel?

By the way, that's a lot of disassembly on the Model 3 just for changing the air filter.

Some rust on the break pads because with the new firmware update we don't use as much breaks anymore....

Side note: Did he just leave the entire brembo caliper hanging off just the hydraulic line for the caliper?! whaaaat. 9:13

Welche boschwerkstadt kann dies ?

You're the bosch.

Pretty sure that Tesla purposely left that hole in the upper wheel well so air isn’t trapped in the wheel well. It’s likely an aerodynamic thing like BMW does with their “air curtain”.

Made by Helga! That is correct!

I can imagine these guys doing head gasket change on BMW N57 engine... 4 seasons/12 episodes.

This is so dumb. Surface rust on the cv axles is not even remotely a big deal.

@ 1m15sek, side panel broken plastic clips.

Was Robert Romanian?

In soviet russia you have this dirty filter in 4k km

We covered a lot stuff with this wax they were using for your doors. Check out Ove Kröger from T&T Emobility RU-vid, he does a lot videos about things like that.

I’m not surprised there’s rusting, so much salt and water, very hard on metals.

Those Bil experts are good..

That rust on the drive shaft is a potential problem for all Model 3's in the future.

You feel there's still something left after you wipe? Maybe a change of diet? 😂

i thought that teslas barely needed service?

Don’t worry you won’t need windscreen wipers when they are replaced with lasers!

First, the cost for what is done (if that video shows all of it ?) seems pretty stiff. Second, spraying grease in a brake caliper is asking for trouble. Some can be applied in super small quantity with the tip of the finger, using a spray definitely not a good practice. Third, "cleaning" brake pads with sand paper is not only utterly pointless, it will promote rust as the black coating is compromised. The video actually does a good job showing bare steel appearing on "cleaned" edges. Now these will definitely rust there. The face of the pads look poor because they are so little used on an EV it is really not a concern. If you want to prevent that use them hard once in a while. Or just don't care about it. Lastly, dragging brakes are not caused by lack of grease on the pads to caliper surface but by stuck pistons or stuck caliper pins on cars that use these. Pads contacting the rotor do pretty much nothing as long as no pressure is applied. Won't comment the hanging caliper, it is just so careless... Overall I wouldn't want to have my car serviced there but I must admit, there are not many places where I would want my car serviced.

So this yearly service costs ~300€?

They said it is cheaper to maintain a ev but about 300 euro is not cheap.

12:00 if you do not watch Ove's videos...

Du hast ein paar Schrauben locker, das ist nicht gut! lol

No one: Bjorn:spends 3000 nok for tesla maintenance

At least Cybertruck shouldn’t have rusting issues so much.

#likeabosch 😎

Seams like fun dyping nose in filter farts .😀

Grease on the slides of the caliper attracts road grime grit which gets caught between slide surfaces and causes sticking with wear.

changing the airfilter shouldnt be this complicated...

Clearly not only my old fossile that slowly is destroyed by salt on the road :/
