Tesla Model Y Road Trip Around Norway! Part 1 - Oslo to Bergen 

Wow! This is the most beautiful road trip to date. And I can’t wait to share the next one with you too! Thanks to Marcus for loaning the Y for our trip. Who wants more Norway content? Perhaps some cold weather EV testing this winter 🤔 Corrections: - I mentioned incorrectly that the Y has two PM motors, this isn’t correct. Sorry for mentioning this! - We started on the east side of Oslo, not west

So good to see you in Europe !

Kyle, I have enjoyed your videos from The US. In Oregon, through The Deserts, Dakota, Montana or The Rockies… So enthustiastic and fun. Great surprise to see You start in Lillestrøm (I could almost see my House over The River and hill). I would recommend a stop halfway in Geilo (over 794 / 2.600 meters / feet above sea and 150 miles from Lillestrøm, 135 miles from Oslo) and then start with fully charged batteries both with vehicle and personell. Remember that a long car journey is similar to a good and long movie. Black nights and glaring lights is not recommended. Better start with an orange sunrise. I am still attached to our [Family] Dieselcow from 2011, but longing for a better alternative in an EV. After a testdrive with a model 3 this summer, I was both surprised and convinced by the quality of a Tesla. Not to mention the charging concept. Hope for a 3 or Y Tesla in the future. PS: we have above 90F in summer, do not forget big differences in summer and winter temperatures due to our latitude position of 60. A trip from Oslo to Bergen may require the A/C in full operation in July.

Great tour! Thank you!

The best country trip, in the best car

Is the precondition sound like a extreamly high pich sound, Almost like alternator noise in older fossil cars?

its look like i will be picking my car here also which is 👍🏽 i was expecting to be on next city Drammen like my first time. nice vid by the way🙏🏽

36:54 Older Zoes and the BYD e6 can charge with 43kW on AC.

What is it with EV videos and always talking about ‘getting a bit of lunch’, or ‘walked the dog’, etc?

LOL, melissa just does not want to talk

Tesla Model Y, voted as the most unreliable car in the US.

WTF is up with Americans? Why must you always proclaim or imply that any and all other languages sound strange and are exceedingly difficult to pronounce… even when you just pronounced it?! Why not just do your best, and move on. There’s no need to be insulting. Besides, @31:31 those letters are all recognizable in English! And they’re all forming sounds that are common in English: Maur (as in Maurice), Set, Land, Handel… what is so hard about that?!🙄 If you can’t pronounce that, perhaps you have no business making RU-vid videos… in any language.

Wow! This Norway country seems very pretty and cool, with quite a few EVs 🤔 Gotta keep an eye out on this place in the future!

The US charging infrastructure looks so second class to Europe in your videos...that's a very telling sign for sure.

I decided to get a Tesla, was feeling concerned about road trips then found you, and it really ended that issue for me. Really enjoy the road tripping you do and love the positivity you bring to these. Safe travels to you two.

It’s so funny. I do know how to pronounce those cities and towns because of Bjorn and Kris

Was that....Thai food at your first stop???? Bjorn and Wifey would be proud!

I love how Alyssa couldn't care less about any of this nerd stuff. It's both really a funny dichotomy of personalities, but also useful because your normal person isn't going to know or care about all these plugs & the learning curve needs to be as flat as possible.

Hey Kyle! Very cool to see this road trip 😁 I live In Sweden so you just passed my hometown 🤘🏽 Keep up the great work!! Btw I am a Tesla fan...

Kyle it is so cool you get to travel on the same roads Bjorn did his nimber task on going to Bergen

Thanks for the memories - cool video. I was an expat working in Oslo and I learned that on Friday afternoon, don't stand in the way of your coworkers as they run for the exists. They are out to see "natur". They all have a cottage it seems. Work-life balance is big.

Nearly one minute in and Alyssa already hitting the fart noise-button 😄

The old Zoe Q ( quick) had the 43kW AC . but most common was the 240R ( Range) , only 22kW AC. The old Zoe do not have DC charging. First generation of chargers had 3 cables. AC43 - chademo and type 2 50Kw DC.

No surprise to see so many EV's in Norway. Last I heard, Norway's car sales over the past year were 78% EV's even though their main export is oil

Kyle, your passion for what you do is unequivocally incomparable! Thank you!

I have been waiting for this video! Great to see you in Norway, this country will be our next destination!

Please change your camera, I recommend use iphone 13 Pro Max, Please upload your videos in 60 FPS, Love from Karachi Pakistan ❤️.

this isnt a roadtrip of norway, its a roadtrip of tesla chargers LOLLL

420 likes, 69 comments. Elon would be proud.

23:52 😂

You always produce great videos, I'd love a Tesla but sadly we can't get them on our Motability Scheme in the UK, however, I collect my Hyundai Kona 64kwh Premium on Friday, my first EV, can't wait. By the way, I'm an HGV driver her in Britain, I drive for a regional utility company we drive Volvo cabovers as you call them in the US towing 42 ton articulated water tankers, I love it, it's a great job. Great fan of Bjorn's RU-vid Channel also, get that Circle K food inside you.

Jealous! Going to Europe this summer and hoping to make it over to Norway (along with an EV roadtrip). Also congrats to your friend on the Circle K job! Hope to see more charing infrastructure like they have Norway all over the US. Excited for more of Tesla chargers going in and them opening up the charging network, but the more chargers in general, the better. Their might be some issues in the US if Tesla opens up their charger infrastructure but I think they'll be short term problems with how many their adding.

Great video, thank you. £70000 or $96000 here in the UK. A ridiculous amount of money for a shopping car.

I think you should start calling your channel, "Charger review" because that's what you spend most of your time doing. You tell the same story over and over regarding charging but very little about the car or the journey. What about the noises you mentioned? Can't you demonstrate those noises? The views of Norway are nice but your editorials are boring. You showed literally nothing about Bergen! All you keep saying is what a view! Opportunity lost. Your channel has not evolved.

Lovely scenery, and glad to see you guys on another Tesla roadtrip. Not that other cars were bad, but I really like your Tesla ones.

Great video! So is no one going to mention the vintage Cadillac (?) Buick(?) in the wilds of Norway at 39:45? What is that? And what's it doing there?!

The reason why almost all charging stations are busy on Fridays and Sundays is because everyone goes to their cabin. Almost all families in Norway have their own cabin.

After two years of just watching videos I kind of default to liking Videos now. They just are to enjoyable to watch.

Too bad you couldn´t meet up with BjØrn :(

Great video. Very informative and good to get a look at that real world experience of using the Tesla Model Y. I could watch those views of Norway all day long!

Cheers and welcome to Sweden,, 🍻🍻😎👍‍‍👍‍‍!!

I believe that when Tesla offered to install destination chargers for free at hotels, restaurants etc, they installed two, one of them would be exclusively for Teslas and the other would be for any other EV using type two. but both were the same looking Tesla destination charger.

@34:00 Aww Alyssa missed a pretty spectacular waterfall there at Vøringsfossen. They have some great viewpoints and even a bridge to cross the gorge over the waterfall. Tesla actually opened a new Supercharger site there this summer of 2024 with Norway's 2000th dispenser.

Oh, its so bad that you didnt met with Bjorn. You are both my favourite youtubers, so it would be fantastic. Really nice roadtrip by the way, love Norway, Lofoten especially.

In which month did you visit Norway in this video?

In the US standard current is 115V whereas in all of Europe it is 230-240V. So 16A in Europe gives the same power in kW as 32A in the US.

Rocking the road like Bjorn Nyland! Great video. I think the LFP batteries might charge slower? Hoping to get them in Canada soon.

Very nice. Yes, Bjørn might be the busiest RU-vidr of them all -- he cranks out the content! Not surprising you couldn't meet up with him, but entirely understood. Your trip to Europe helped me "find" him, and quite a few other folks who have been working with an astonishing array of electric vehicles we utterly don't even know exist, here in the US. So, it has all been excellent and useful content, and all very well done. Many thanks for your efforts.

EV Norway. From 2025 you can only buy a EV cars in Norway. Marz 2022 83% of all cars sold are EV. Companies who want to deliver to state and county should use EV like ID Buzz.

Great video, first time visiting. Really looking forward to part 2 from Bergen northbound. To bad you were driving the most spectacular scenery in the dark. Greetings from an "Y" driver in Bergen.

The big Tesla charging station in Oslo in the underground parking lot: was there any hint of the concrete floor trenched up and patched to run (200 kw) cables to the stalls. Nothing shows in the video for floor work. Goes to cost of retrofit in a facility like that. All the Type 2 wall chargers show straight forward cable runs in Oslo.

Fun to see your enthusiasm for being in my country. Very inspiring indeed. Most Norwegians only travel by car on the weekends to their cabins. Friday-Sunday it is packed at all charging stations throughout the country.

Cool to see you in Norway! The reason why we have so many chargers is "most" Norwegians go to their winter cabins on the weekend. Then pretty much all non-Tesla chargers have a line, but fortunately I have never experienced it with the Tesla SC network (and why I chose a Tesla).

Just way too boring…ok chargers, chargers, chargers,…how about delivery, service, finishes, performance, maintenance. I love EV but this video does not motivate me to buy.

Just a few hours at home from a roadtrip in Northern Norway 🇳🇴 It’s a very beautiful place to roadtrip. You have to go to the Lofoten, it’s magical.

Kyle, entertaining and informative videos!

Americans need to educate themselves on the countries that they’re traveling to so they know as to what time is the eat and what time businesses may be opening or closing so Kyle doesn’t have the issue of getting to places wanting to eat and there was no restaurant available to eat because they had already closed for the day

Either Alyssa doesn’t like to be filmed or she’s really not enjoying your company. She doesn’t look happy or excited in any of your videos.

Harsh ride is the one thing that'll dissuade me from buying Model Y. Can't sacrifice comfort.

Alyssa knows the best way to start out a video. :-)

I know you’ve mentioned cable size with reference to version threes and I want to clarify that the conductor itself can be different metals. You could have different metals that have more free electrons so they conduct electricity better versus others that don’t do so well or may be stranded versus solid conductors. Then the thickness could also be coming from the insulator as well as the cooling in the packaging of the whole cable but a higher voltage system does demand less current but may need better insulation because of the voltage potential. Have you seen the Model S Plaid battery internal strap across the top of the battery pack? That is one massive bus bar that needs to carry a lot of current because it is a lower voltage. Great video and awesome views. Thanks for sharing‼️💯

amazing how many tunnels they have in Norway, I am jealous as they prevent all those high elevations passes we have in BC Canada where often highways are closed during winter for avalanche control and we have so many accidents due to poor road conditions in winter.

Thanks for the video. I love the Norwegian countryside and have visited Norway multiple times. It is almost painful seeing the countryside in the video and not being able to be there myself.

That blue tunnel was so cool

Wow looks beautiful. Amazing to see so much Ev infrastructure. Lots of tunnels. Was that roundabouts inside the tunnels? 😮

Fun to see you in my home country :) I have an Xpeng G3, one of the few here in Norway.

70% of all new car sales in Norway are EVs.

Tesla still rules! like Ford T 100 years ago American innovation rules. Just wish it’s treated better at home.

I have been looking forward to this video.

24:14 "...nice noticing." ... rolling with it when your spouse isn't at all interested in your passion. Sorry dude - I know how that feels.

This is literally my dream trip. Exploring Norway in a Tesla, one day...

Model Y to me looks like the other Tesla models 100% disposable like not a real car sorry but those are my thoughts.

How rich are people in Norway that SO MANY people can afford an EV? I almost don't see any EV's in my area in Britain, and if I do it's because i'm on the main road out of this area. I'm genuinely curious about my question though, what is the average salary compared with the cost of living?

In Oslo charging w all those EVs: where were the people? Not a single 3rd party shown?

If you evner come back, you should take a drive from Oslo to Mo i Rana and back.

The view like in Ontario, Canada. Really close...

Love seeing some good pure Kyle and Alyssa content!

Hope you found a beautiful waterfall.

Zoe Q modells (Q for quickcharge) can do 43 KW AC

Try Expedition trip in Europe 😋 Much needed expedition trip again in your future Tesla new car🔥

Got to say that I'm wowed by the numbers of stalls in Norway... actually jealous really 😅 Here in the UK, despite now huge numbers of Model 3s on the roads, our supercharger network needs a whole lot of expansion. Some of our supercharger locations have as few stalls as just two! Some four! The average is probably 8... but it's leading to waiting at busy times, which in the UK is always! I remember driving in and around LA in 2009... thinking boy I couldn't live like this, just way too busy. Yet our motorway network is grinding to a halt! We really need supercharger locations like those Norwegian ones here. Once those Ys arrive, it's going to get super busy at the superchargers. Great video as always. All the best 👍

Great video! Just missing meeting with Bjorn 😔

I'm not sure what size we need. I'll be calling for a consultation.

The reason you need to have your own cable is because not all EVs have type 2. Older Nissan Leafs and Mitsubishi PHEV for example have type 1. They have type 2 - type 1 cables.

Love the EV adoption in Norway. Glad Tesla is doing such a great job at popularizing Ev's in the USA. I understand range anxiety is a thing here, and that Norway is significantly smaller than the US, but the expansive and ever-growing charging network is sure to solve that problem soon.

What month was it when you took the road trip and how warm/cold was it?

he says holy smokes, i say meh... its normal ... hehe tesla love from a model 3 dual

In Norway, more than 50% of the new car sales is EVs

I do the same trip 2-3 times a month (I live i Bergen and my office is in Oslo) with my Porsche Taycan or my Audi Etron 50. In the summer the Taycan does it without charging and the Audi Etron 50 needs one (in Geilo or Gulsvik). Now when it`s cold the Audi needs 2 stops and the Porsche Taycan need one stop (Ionity Gol).

Kyle, how many years until the U.S. looks like that?

Regarding the 43kW charging: yes, my original ZOE (2013) can charge at 43kW AC. Not all ZOEs can, though.There's a difference between the 'Q' version and the 'R' version: the 'Q' (meaning 'Quickcharge) can charge at 43kW AC. Of course this kind of charging never really took off, but if you have a 22kWh battery, 43kW charging feels quite fast and CCS is not really that missed. I love my ZOE, with all its faults it's just a great car to own and live with. Just came back on a roadtrip using only Fastned 43kW AC chargers, never stopped for more than 15 minutes (the AC destination chargers also were really welcome).

Quite happy public chargers like this don't all have attached type 2 cables, as our extremely popular Leaf (first Gen) is type 1... You'd need Type 1, Type 2, and CCS at least. Cables generally supplied with car so no problem. Fast chargers (e.g. Chademo) have the cable fixed at the station.

You gotta do a Tesla collaboration with Bjorn Nyland!

Kyle & Alyssa I'm watching you video again (great video). Have you guys considered buying a second home in Norway or the EU for your business? With your video skills you could also expand the channel to be kinda like a travel channel with all the road tripping. Your young live the dream.

It would be good to see you have a 1000km race with Bjorn whilst your in Norway. Superchargers not allowed.

A great video in so many aspects. But, change your partner - she is unenthusiastic to the point of rudeness. You deserve better. Dirch her before she ditches you - and she will. In the meantime thanks again for a first class video!!

Regarding type 2 cables, there are many Nissan Leafs and other vehicles using type 1 connector, which wouldn't be able to use those chargers with fixed cables :)

Re: @27:40: All up and down the west coast from Alaska to California, Natives stack rocks both for spiritual and religious reasons, along with being memorials and landmarks.

I am curious - can you tell/have you noticed the power sources for the Tesla charger? The first one that you stop at appears to be running off the power grid. On your trips do you see many which are obviously powered by Solar or other renewable power sources? I have seen pictures of them under solar panels which I assume are powering some sort of battery storage to energize the chargers.

How lucky to visit Norway and be able to drive a brand new Tesla around the country for free! Enjoy. BTW, how much it would cost a regular person to rent a Y for 2 weeks?
