10.000 km in one month. Your recommendation are accepted as well proven!

Can't wait for the European Model Y review.

FYI: "Complete Texas" is Norwegian slang for "lawless conditions" or "complete craziness".

Because you’re so impartial and utterly straight forward, when you say this new model is ‘outstanding’, people should listen

Awesome review Bjorn, debunking the fud, giving the objective facts and you should really get more appreciation for all your tests. Well done!

I have the exact same model from beginning of December and coming from an Audi ICE car.. i can’t be more happy..

Björn N. you are the best of the best, ja sehr gut, top, Qualität. German people love you video's/Chanel.

I need to revise a comment I made a month ago: _"New car after Bjorn finishes testing : 4065km"_ It was waaayyyy underestimated 😆

Happy M3 LR 2021 owner here. I agree with Björns conclusions. The only design flaw is that it does not have a hatchback trunk, but I can live with it. Best car O ever owned and extremely low cost of ownership here in Switzerland. Zero car tax, free charging at several food stores, no maintenance and insurance was comparably cheap. Buy it if you can.

Bjorn, watching your videos helped to finally convince me to go ahead and purchase. I took delivery 20 days ago. Soooo satisfied. Thank you for the huge effort.

Best most fact filled review I have ever seen on Model 3

Glad you tackled the unwarranted ‘FUD issues’. We’ve had ours for a year and a half, and no problems. Same with owners we meet at the Superchargers. Basically, if you want a stress free, and seriously enjoyable driving experience, look no further...unless you really can’t get on with the looks or something. But everyone who rides in ours, wants one.

After plumbing the depths of model 3 content looking for a decent view of the Model 3 backseat with someone sitting in it, I finally landed here, and you give me the shot I was looking for in the first two minutes! This was super informative and helpful. Thank you.

Björn, I did exactly what you recommended at the end auf 2020: Switched the MJ2020 M3P to a MJ2021 M3P. I can confirm, that, based on my own experience, every word ist true and well evaluated! Therefore your channel hats to be rated as the hottest shieeeeet in ev-community! Keep on rocking and hammering and stay healthy!

Ausgezeichnet! Great summary, Bjorn - really helps the switch to BEV with this level of unbiased commentary

Thanks Bjørn for good information. Many of you videos interest me (sleeping in minus 26, testing new LR21, difference between LR19 and LR21 etc). Keep on you superb work :-)

Can't wait for your tests of the Model Y, we bought ours back in July and love it, but due COVID have only driven it less than 2800 miles. Thanks for all you do for the EV community. Cheers

You gotta admire Bjorns dedication!

one of my favorite reviews. really great stuff. efficient and to the point. appreciate you.

Excellent well-organized comprehensive review of a great car. You really make me want one now.

Thanks Bjorn. Love your views as like you say, you test them all.....and in harsh conditions. I currently own a 40kw leaf which I love, but test drove a 3 yesterday and it was as great as I hoped. Will certainly be my next car. Would love to keep the leaf but have no real reason to. My final dream garage will probably be a 3 together with 7 seat Y or unadulterated cybertruck (large family). Superchargers seal the deal for me. Glad I bought shares.

The TEST-LA is back!!!

Model 3 is Not perfect, but at the Moment the best EV you can buy - considering the whole package as you said.

Hey Bjorn, You are one of the best EV youtubers out there!! Looking forward to watching many more video's.

Fantastic Review Bjørn Nyland, Thank You for your time!

That model 3 looks like an older one but is so much better. “What matters is the pace of innovation” Tsla can make changes improvements almost in real time. They don’t wait for the next model year.

Just the best and most honest review out there. Ordered my long range model 3 yesterday and picking it up First week of march. Bjorn keep up the great videos and thank you

Very good material about new Model 3, as usual Bjørn high level, keep it up👍

Great review! I cannot wait for mine to arrive in a month or two. For what I’ve tried, model 3 will be a lot more comfortable than my BMW i3.Happy New Year Bjorn!

Thank you for all the fantastic videos during the holidays!! Working hard! I was hoping for a TMS in a year or two but the model 3 is very nice 😍

Thankyou! so many important information and thoughts about the Model 3 and competitors ... I am really looking forward to the time when I will be able to afford the Model 3 Long Range! meanwhile, I keep watching and learning from you!

Great review. I love the contents on your channel. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

Thanks for all the detail. Really appreciate it.

Great as always, Bjørn! You're the best source of information of the model 3. And all the other EVs as well. Getting my wife to watch this together with me on a Saturday night.. Nerds :-) Thanks for giving an honest opinion of the cars, pointing out good and bad things.

Great video Bjorn! The last 3 minutes can be summarized with: "Highly encourage you to test drive one for yourself. People often feel like they're really easy and fun to drive. I sure do." Trying to discuss the intangibles of driving preferences with strangers is impossible, like trying to nail JELL-O to a tree. You did a fine job, but since it's all subjective, they really just need to test drive it to know with any confidence, whether it's for them or not. Love your cold weather expertise, and the fact that Tesla's are more efficient in winter than many other cars in summer, is VERY convincing for the naysayers that I've met who have anxiety about electric cars in the winter time.

I like your videos very much. Thanks for your „investigations“ and reviews for the EV world.

A very balanced and fair review. He has persuaded me to get one ahead of the polestar 2.

Awesome test Bjorn good job

You have tested way more cars than what you glance over at the end. You really put them to the test and highlight everything. Good to know that Tesla is still the best. I would say so myself when you consider the built-in charger network.

Fantastic and thorough review. Thanks Bjorn

Super review Bjorn , many thanks !

Thanks! You helped convince me to get a Model X from your X experience...

Really great review. I have my test drive tomorrow morning. This is good info for me. Thanks.

Takk, du gjorde meg sikker på at det blir Tesla Model 3 :D

Subjective and passionate- great review

Det video Ive been waiting for. Great !!

Tusen takk Bjørn!

Bjorn, you do this freely (sort of) for everyone, to inform and educate, but not with bias toward Tesla. You are a Tesla owner, but not a Tesla pusher. You list their faults, as well as the good things. Balance is key, and you are very balanced with your comments. Electric car makers should really be listening to you closely. Thanks for being a great reviewer of electron powered cars.

Great review! Could you make a video where you sum up your experience with reliability, service from Tesla and rust protection?

Great review. Thank you! Were you able to drive the Volvo C 40?

really enjoy your brutal real world testing, our Model Y has been pampered compared to what you do with your vehicles. Looking forward to your tests on th Model Y.

Well said! We trust your judgment. Thanks for the spot on review 👍🏻

Awesome review as always.... I’d add that having home charging completes the deal... while is doable without it.. it becomes somewhat of an inconvenience....

A blast from the past with the BMW and burnout from Millennium Falcon (looked fun). I've been watching some old road trips and recognise where there from!

Hi Bjorn, great channel and knowledge. Can you say if buying 2020 long range is better value than 2021 SR + ?

Thankyou Björn, as a regular viewer it is good to see a self contained review. From Tesla I've only driven an S but found the navigation with integrated charge planning was really reassuring for a fossil driver. Tesla have set a high bar for EVs to follow.

Agree completely. Got myself a M3 SR+ 2021 end of December. Came from a Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid, my EV gateway drug. Tried to go to a fossil car (got a great deal on an Audi A5 premium plus convertible), but I just couldn't take it. I went from 2 gas station trips in 2 years for in town driving to several per month, plus idling exhaust, plus, plus... and this made me come back to Bjorn's videos after nearly a year without looking at any Tesla vids. This was mid December 2020. The heat pump and extreme efficiency in cold was very convincing, because temps are cold-ish in North Carolina for about 4-5 months a year. The kicker was the supercharger network, fast charging speeds, and more than acceptable range in the SR+. I 100% don't need the Long Range or Performance for more range. Bottom line - exactly Bjorn's comments - what sold me were: 1) SR+ at 220-230 usable miles - waaaayyyy more than enough for nearly all my driving, except for long trips, but the 2) Supercharger network has amazing coverage throughout the Eastern US, everywhere I am interested in going, there's a supercharger and 3) Supercharger stops are very fast - longest was 25 minutes - just enough time to stop for a bathroom break, get some snacks and a drink and get in the car to see it's almost done - perfect and finally 4) Efficiency is just stupid good - it's been averaging 30-50F temperatures here since I got it, lowest is 20F and highest was pushing 60F and my average Wh/Mi is 242 since taking delivery. Can't wait to see what it does in summer! Get one, you won't regret it. Bonus - don't pay for a bunch of extras at the start, wait to see what you *need*. After a week, I realized I absolutely needed quality floor mats and I got Tuxmats, which are incredible. I had the 3D Maxpider in the Clarity and they were nice, but I couldn't get them *completely* clean, even with car wash wand. With these, just wipe down with a wipe or towel and done. Still haven't had the need for a trunk mat, but probably will get one. So far I've needed nothing else because the 2021 upgrades cover everything (matte black console, wireless charging pads built in, comes with a 32GB Tesla USB for sentry mode (don't need to buy your own), etc.). Again, just buy one and enjoy, you won't regret it.

I greatly appreciate your opinions based on the immense tests that you do not only Teslas but other brands. My only constraint is the price. I know that using an ICE is more expensive, especially if the EV is charged at home (I have a garage and I can but there´s not the case for everyone), but 60,000 euros, price in Portugal, for an M3LR (the only one I consider) is a lot and the charging network is still very poor (although I only rarely travel over 500 km in one trip despite traveling a lot). I am thinking of changing my car and it will surely be for an EV, but as long as their prices do not drop, not only Tesla, I will hardly do so in the near future (2-3 yrs). Price parity is lagging despite the price of batteries I have been dropping for the past 3 or 4 years. Until then I will be watching your videos and fine-tuning my knowledge with them. For that, thanks.

Don't forget precooling in the hot summers. Awesome feature for me!

Thanks for all your videos. I will soon be switching from the queen of efficiency (the Ioniq 28) to a Tesla sr plus from 2021 in 2 days. I can't wait and this time I'm going to go to the northern cape of Brittany in France and not stop in Stavanger as I did this summer with my Ioniq 😛

I think the metal scroll wheel is probably a good idea. All too often this sort of rubber (e.g. in the old Model 3) starts degrading after 3 or 4 years - going soft and/or sticky etc.

Great review, really honest and what I've been wanting to hear, I'll have my model 3 arriving soon, I'm coming from a BMW 520d which has been amazing zero issues, very comfortable and very economical, so I am a little anxious about the quality and comfort issues so great to hear a good practical review that answers my questions. Thank you

Great video again! As a new Tesla owner, one thing I would love to see is recommandations for washing. Is the paint job really as bad as some people on Facebook groups talk about, or is it ok to wash in a high quality machine with brushes? And is ceramic coating or foil really needed? I feel this is like using your sofa with plastic on it

Good video Bjørn. What is the battery degradation after 10000 km?

Great review. Your testing is the gold standard of EV testing at the moment. One minor remark and feedback: Maybe you could compare the displayed consumption with kwh recharged. Some testers discovered Teslas displayed consumptions does actualy underreport the used kwh. (even after correcting the overreporting of distance in the display)

Magnet and metal interior bits adds longevity

It’s really nice if they have been able to do a major reduction of the cold weather range penalty. Model 3 used to lose a lot of range in cold weather.

Skoda Enyaq will also have double wireless chargers! Only one was activated on demo cars, but both will be on release! Can't wait for it to release so you can review it for us!

This man does not know what is being tired!

Sher gut! Could you Bjorn make comparison between long range and standard range +? Would be really nice to see if there really is much you lose. And many company lease cars would allow SR+ into the budget but LR is too expensive. Looking forward!

Great review, thank you!

Thanks for the review, does it have a heated steering wheel?

Thanks, Bjorn. Great summary. Don't forget, the purchase price of an EV over ICE cars is still an issue for many people, at least here in North America. Tesla even more so in the USA, as they've used up their Federal incentives since they've sold so many EVs. Hopefully, the price delta will reduce quickly and EVs will be even more attractive.

Hvor mye var den totale kostnaden av eierskap under måneden du hadde den? Veldig ryddig og informativ video, som alltid!

I’d love to see them get rid of the center bar on the glass roof and make it a hatch back. Basically a Model Y that drives like a race car. I have a 2018 Model 3 and plan to upgrade when they change some of these things. Awesome car!

I like the way you talk. Very nice

Like the honest review and comparison (e.g. suspension compared to German cars). Better than those hype reviews that either oversell or undersell the car

Super useful Bjørn! The new M3 LR charges slowly and the battery capacity is not as large as the older M3. Perhaps I should order a M3 Performance (with Panasonic battery) with 18 inch wheels to have better range and charging speed. That leaves me with one question: is there a big difference in efficiency between an M3 P with 18 inch wheels and an MR LR with same size of wheels?

Other useful features which I found very useful and pleasant are 1. Absence of instrument cluster in front of you is very pleasant when driving long distance on night. Put on automated cruise control (operate as designed and required). There is absolute darkness on front dash and no irritating led and lights. If people require speed display on front they can mount mobile phone with scanMyTesla app open. That shows speed, Power op etc. It also has HUD mode. 2. Another feature which is very useful is voice control. It is very good in understanding the commands as mentioned below. Opening front/rear boots (I guess closing with new versions), closing windows, setting temperature, changing airflow , turning on seat heaters , opening side rear view mirror setting page ....

When people talk about "Oh no, a bumper of a Model 3 fell off! Bad quality!" just think back to how many times you see a bumper lying beside a flooded section of road. Maybe as Europeans we're a bit more aware of this so it happens less? I live in the UK and flooded roads are very common here, we know the basic rules of going slow so you don't fill your bumper with water and rip it off, 'flooding your engine' isn't an issue though at least! :)

Bjørn Nyland, is like an honest car sales man that you would hope you get.

Thanks for the very informative videos. I especially liked the cold weather tests you've done recently. So today I ordered a Model 3 LR, first time Tesla owner. Mr Elon should give you some of the profits, haha.

The Charge Speed was updated and is now way faster for this model. About 30%

Fair review. Here's a small review I can provide with some authority: I bought a Porsche Macan in 2017 and a Model 3 dual motor in 2018. I hardly drive the Macan anymore, and may replace it with a Y. Or replace the 3 with a Y. My guess this situation would not be much different than the car I had before the Macan - a Porsche Cayman S (the two-seater, not the Cayenne). I may replace the Macan with a Y, but a Mustang, Polestar, or Taycan would be more interesting. Sadly, the range and charging network situation are still unfavorable for those cars. I may hold out for a Cybertruck.

I would love to see more 2021 Performance battery testing!

Swapped from a MX100D and an MS100D to a M3LR and and M3P (wife’s car). MS and MX are better but not for twice the price. Handling on the M3s is just outstanding and the M3P is the most fun I’ve ever had in a car, albeit I’m banned from driving it by my wife. Please if you own an ICE swap. You’ll have zero regrets

The benefit of that large beautiful glass roof, seems to not get mentioned at all. For us fossil guys without even a sunroof, it seems like a stunning solution.

Is MC Hammer jealous that you've spent so much time with another car, deep inside it??

Thanks for the review. I am planning to change my 9 year old Skoda Superb diesel with an electric car. I was just convinced to skip plug in in hybrid cars and go full electric. This month Tesla arrived in Romania for the first time, in Bucharest where I live, so they started to sell Model 3, S & X that qualifies for 10k euro government grant. So a Model 3 SR+ starts just under 35k euro (including VAT) with government grant included and about 43k euro for the LR Model 3. However I am also interested in the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 with similar prices, but with less range, yet super fast charging (400/800V) and it is more spacious for a family of 3 (actually 4 with my little dog). There is also another problem, I leave in an apartment so I don't have home charging capabilities, but with a Tesla LR, I would just need to charge the car once every month or so. I am waiting for your tests with either the Ioniq 5 or Kia EV6 (AWD Long Range) which should have similar capabilities.

I think if you could learn to move the sun visor from the hinge end instead of the middle, it wouldn't lose contact force with the magnet so easily. 😎👍🏼

Tesla Bjørn is back!

However, it was a Tesla owner in the US who had problems with low profile tires that broke even the rim was damaged. But he bought other rims and put on thicker tires

Great video! Thanks

Thanks for video! Ordered a model 3 long range like 2 weeks ago, got matched so getting delivery in 2 weeks! I was wondering if you have to get paint protection film on the front? Or like do you have to get extras or just get it and use it? :D

Bjørn have you tested the 2021 model 3 standard range? And have you tested it fully loaded with three passengers and luggage, range? And how is the features (sound, software etc.) compared to Long range?

Live in Norway, buying a model 3, (ofc), what would you recommend to do with a new car? Prime under the car? Lacquer protection? Sound proofing?

Good review!👍

Will you try out the Model Y if you get the opportunity to do so? and how do you think it compares to the model 3 with your first thoughts now?

A solid review!

Have you done a review of the new Chinese made 2021 Tesla Model 3 SR+ with lfp battery pack, would be very interesting to see you do the 1000km challenge and see how the lfp battery lasts in the cold Norwegian climate. Thanks
