Repairing 2013 Tesla Model S P85 at Bilexperten

[@medilyesoudhini7411]

This Nassir guy seems like a very nice guy and very good at his job

[@michelroovers4039]

Correct

[@Roban554]

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 :)

I love watching The Car Wizard on KZbin as well...but uncle Bjorn checking the car with cousin Nassir is the best. Very educational and fun to watch.

[@morrisg]

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!

[@GoldenCroc]

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.

[@marekkaletka6746]

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.

[@aw7425]

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

[@TAD-9]

I would love more videos with Nassir showing us stuff like this! So much good content.

[@lars-andreasnilsen307]

I hope you share the invoice for this. Excellent reporting!

[@Pixelplanet5]

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.

[@BobH809]

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!

[@ikocheratcr]

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.

[@showme360]

I wonder if Bjorn was badgered by KZbin to keep his view figures up and asked him to keep recording through his illness?

[@peevee605]

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.

[@ericleszkowicz898]

I love watching people who know so Incredibly much about their job, especially an area like car repair where I know so little.

[@fdiesel4399]

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

[@chriss2295]

I’m impressed at the quality of the build on older Tesla models. Tesla is good at iterating over time so newer models are more desirable.

[@DouglasJMark]

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.

[@danburkland]

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.

[@ddorbuck]

great video Bj0rn. Nice to see you and millennium falcon on the road again!

[@mdf1978]

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.

[@sierrafoothillslife4246]

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.

[@bjrnar4636]

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.

[@adrianguriuc936]

☝️ highly curious for wiper repair also

[@GoldenCroc]

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.

[@Leszko84]

You can make an interview with Nassir, how to become a Tesla mechanic, and how this job looks like. :D

[@maxhaggberg8713]

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.

[@RENAULTOlivier]

Yes some basic fixes are really easy on teslas

[@bobspurloc]

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

[@GoldenCroc]

@@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.

[@jryan1024]

You and Nassir should do more videos together. Nassir gives a good view into the engineering of the EVs.

[@thomasdepaor1518]

Amazing cars, many with over 300.000 miles and still drive like new, and holding a great range for such a huge mileage.

[@Kristianpont]

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.

[@Zoli1972s]

Looks like MF has taken some seroius beating, and was offroading most of the time ever since you sold it until you bought it back.

[@hadtopicausername]

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.

[@kenovewik8332]

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.

Hey Bjorn, thanks so much for doing this video. I have a 2013 MS 85 with about 84k miles. I was wondering what type of maintenance items should keep my eye out for and this gives me a good idea of what to look for. I am experiencing a few minor items, like a clunk noise in the rear when I accelerate and decelerate. Also I have always noticed clunk and what feels like gear train slop when I go over speed bumps, but that could also be suspension issues with the control arms. Anyhow, my car has really served me well, but it's time for some maintenance to keep it running like new.

First off all: Good to see you back on track. When I bought my Tesla Model S 70 D back in 2015, I started following you. I learned a lot of your tips and tricks. So seeing you driving in Millennium Falcon brings back a lot of memories. I sold my car after 5 years and over 193,000 km. I am now in between cars. I have not decided what EV I will buy next. Your tests are valid to me, because these are based on a day to day-situation, although I live in the Netherlands. I'm looking forward to see more tests and road trips with Milennium Falcon. It would be fun to see you redo some of your early roadtrips and find out how much is changed in the last years. I think you can do some trips now quicker, because of the increased number of (super)chargers. Will you upgrade your car, so it can charge at V3-chargers or CCS or is that not possible?

[@janklomp9729]

@@TheSteinbitt I haven't made up my mind. Tesla Model S LR and Y LR, BMW i4 and iX3, and Audi Q4 E-tron (Sportback) are cars I'm considering. Tesla wins points when it comes to range and charging possibilities. Only when I was on a roadtrip, during holidays, I used superchargers. For daily drive upto 225km a day I charged at home, overnight. I had considered a Audi E-tron 50, but the range was to short for my daily drive or I had to invest extra money to buy a 55. In a 50 I should have to stop during the day for charging. That will go fast, but you lose time and it is way more expensive then charging at home overnight. At this moment is only the BMW iX3 available for testdrives. All the other cars will come in late 2021, in the Netherlands. Driving the Model S for over 5 years was great, but not cheap, due to maintenance costs. When it comes to a choice between an Audi E-tron and a Tesla Model S, I know what I would choose.

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.
