[@davidkendall2272]

Can't wait to see the Long range MS 1000 km challenge. I have been blown away with my MSLR efficiency over the past year.

[@David_Polak]

How much was your consumption on average?

[@Justfun-xc9oz]

My Model 3 LR is broken I think. Only getting 250km out of 85% soc. Really starting to hate my Tesla. All those promises. But degradation is sky high after just 60.000km and 3 years.

[@NoMoYOUsernames]

@@Justfun-xc9oz Well judging from your other short screen-shot video where the app restricts your max charge setting to 64%, I would say there is something wrong with your car. That's probably not degradation you're seeing, it is something else. You should be covered by warranty, why not just make a service appointment?

[@lachlanB323]

@@Justfun-xc9oz That isn't normal. You have an 8 year warranty so use it. Battery issues are extremely rare and discovered in the first couple year of ownership if they do happen fortunately. Do you mean 250 miles maybe?

[@lachlanB323]

The wallet scene reminded me about a stressfull passport episodebI had before checking in at Busan Airport to go home. I couldn't find my passport. I was allowed into an office close to check in. They called the taxi, and my holtel. When they didn't find it, I wanted to prepare for loads of work with my travel agent and the embassy, to get home, with possible delay. But when I opened my laptop, I found my passport on the keyboard. I apologized, then proceded to check in, and got home on schedule.

[@wintersun398]

6:18 best reaction ever 😊

[@Astrophysikus]

Impressive, especially given the temperature! That said, it fully shows what Bjørn said: at this point, the car is not really the issue any more, as the time is for all intents and purposes the same as with the reference ICE-V. So much for you cannot road trip an EV.

[@zwanz0r]

The yoke makes all the difference. In my Tesla Model 3, I've never even seen my passport on the dashboard, let alone being able to touch it!

I drive in straight lines far more than I do roundabouts - and that’s why I love the yoke!

[@achtungpolizei7614]

Im wondering why people mostly talk about the speed drag mode etc. the raven already performed insane fast. But one should put the focus more on the nice modern Interieur that feels just so good. And the nice low noise levels really help to enjoy a ride even more.

[@AllCarbone]

Is there a reason why the plaid was without aero caps and would there be a difference in result? Great and realistic test. 👍 Thank you for your hard work and support.

[@bjornnyland]

Ask Marcus.

[@ashton9699]

In range test video (just released) it's shown to be equipped with winter tires, so possible that they are just a set on separate rims and aren't the original rims for the car.

[@Blasterxp]

Happy to see you and basting the roads!

[@iowa_don]

6:09 - Check out the Tesla Plaid Channel. He just uses his Plaid for drag racing. He took out the rear seat and the removable stuff in the trunk. A typical 1/4 mile (0.4 Km) run is 9.2 seconds and 150 MPH (241 KPH) and takes about 3% of the battery or about 3 KW. A 1/8 mile (0.2 Km) run is 6 seconds at 120 MPH (193 KPH) and is 1-2% of the battery. He's only been beaten once by a car that was NOT trailered to the drag strip.

[@Muskar2]

kW is a measure of power - like horsepower. kWh is a measure of energy. So you meant 3kWh.

[@iowa_don]

@@Muskar2 Yeah, you're right. Bjorn had a whole video about that some time ago. Oops.

[@davedyer3654]

Headlights, go into settings and reset the beams!! Impressive low power consumption

[@pigedehekkan]

Grayscale land for the win 🤣 Looking forward to traveling with TG951 to RGB land next month 🌏

[@randomrud]

Of course Marcusbil god a Plaid. :D He's really slaying it isn't he. 👍

[@topgunm]

No doubt that the MSP would be #1 if the test was run the summer. Summer tires have less rolling resistance than winter tires + wasted energy for heating and more drag due to the higher air density of the colder weather. In regards to the heating system (cold on the knees): There are several people that have this problem. My MSP does not have this problem.

[@gregdavis3723]

Bjorn, you should have run the challenge with the wheel covers installed. They're supposed to add 3 to 4 percent to the range at highway speeds. In a 1000km challenge, they could make a significant difference. When you do the 1000km challenge with the non-Plaid Model S, please use the 19" wheels with the covers.

[@bjornnyland]

Don't worry. I had narrower tires.

[@stefankunz2776]

Did you try Dragstrip mode to preheat the battery 20min before fastcharging?

[@alexanderkenway]

Yeah for sure we're gonna need a summer run. Also imagine the LR Plaid 😲

[@bjornnyland]

It's either LR (Long Range) or Plaid. You can't have "LR Plaid".

[@JoshuaDay]

"Moose party" hahaha 🤣🤣🤣

[@gr8899]

The problem with the auto high beam on motorways is that the headlights of the oncoming vehicles are hidden by barriers between the lanes.. it works better (but not perfect) on normal roads.

[@topgunm]

Also don't know what mode you used, but if you used Plaid mode it will keep the batteries at a higher temperature than necessary (see the manual), which will have an impact on range.

[@Gary_R]

Definitely a BX estate. We had a white BX estate when I was a kid.

[@youtuberpov]

I wonder if auto wipers button gets swapped with the blinkers button will help. Basically left and right blinkers goes to each respective side.

[@seb.]

I think people will add S3XY buttons to fix these turn signals

[@Chris21709]

I noticed max regen power was 110 kW. Is that only true for the Plaid? I think it's 85 kW for 3/Y, and once saw that track mode bumps that up to (I think) 115 kW. All models should have a higher max regen option, 115 kW or so.

[@UweRoclawski]

Name for the Plaid: The Green Manalishi (with the two prong crown)🤘

[@neuromancer777]

And Tesla does not even has a 800V system yet. I guess with the new platform they will kill charging time of any other verhicle.

[@RamonSmits]

So the plaid x/s still have bad HVAC air flow even though it does use the same type of servo ducts as the Y/3

[@steliangraur2383]

Because of the separators from the midle of the highways the system dosen't recognise incoming traffic and dosen't tourn off the highbeam. I also drive a truck and is very annoying.

[@Bazs]

2.3kA by acceleration is crazy!

[@apkungen89]

Also regarding Eqs vs model s, the model s is way lighter. That decreases the consumption quite a bit.

[@pumpuppthevolume]

[@antti_kukkonen]

12:03 what does this mean? In Finland the minimum speed for a fine is 7km/h+3km/h for tolerance=10km/h in 70-120km/h zone

[@RamonSmits]

So unfortunate to see that AHB suck even for the plaid. It had improved a bit since a fe updates ago but still to many late toggles. Regarding active noise cancellation, yeah.. doesn't seem to impact much. Next time try ANC headphones 🎧. I'm using them on long highway trips and that is soooo amazing

"EVs are for city use only - and it takes ages to charge them anyway..." 😁 Great video, however, I HATED the music... ...as for the chill in the car - I am sure it was because you got used to Thai climate and now even 22 degrees seem to be cold to you 🤪

[@kaasman78]

About the chill in the car. I noticed that as well. But I'm driving a Model 3 LR AWD from 2019. What i noticed since the update that introduced the 'low' and higher base setting for the fanspeed (so no more setting number for fan speed), the system uses 'automatic defogging'. Then it directs all air to the front windscreen and not in your face or to your legs. When it's colder outside it stays on that defogging setting longer it seems, giving me very cold legs during a drive. Especially when it's freezing outside. Do more people notice that?

[@sj-trekhaak4531]

Yes

[@VoxelLoop]

I do notice auto defogging is active for longer! But I can't personally say I've noticed my legs being cold as a result, 2019 Model 3 Performance here. :) Credit where it's due... The auto defogging does a really good job! We take it for granted but when I've been in a car without that feature you absolutely notice the lack of it.

[@Timo-qb1gf]

Yes! Didn't connect that with the auto defogging but it would explain it.

[@mattaut88]

You can still set fanspeed number when not on "Auto".

[@raisethereef]

The auto HVAC in Tesla has continually gotten worse over time. They put very little heat on the floor any longer and it’s very annoying. You can clearly tell the engineers do not live or test in a cold climate. I also noticed on my 2019 Model 3 that the auto was basically broken. If I didn’t leave it on HI, it would barely heat the car. Tesla gave me the whole “everything is normal” excuse so I gave up and had to control it manually at all times.

[@shithead4767]

The music 💃

[@TheEdmaster87]

Will be nice in summertime you do test on autobahn and also the speed tests (hammering) do you dare to hit 270km/h+?

[@strongandhealthy126]

To be honest my Audi also turns off the high beams so late when there is something in betwenn both lanes, like on the Autobahn.

[@kiwijonowilson]

That auto high beam at least looks a lot better than it used to be for Tesla! Previously it was totally unusable!

[@brettc1169]

My 2023 model Y is cool from waist down, my older model 3 wasn’t the same, I might get the Flir camera out as it’s strange 🙄

[@tellusw9701]

Use the standard aero caps next time for better result

[@bjornnyland]

Tell Marcus that.

[@tellusw9701]

I think you have better contact with him, or drive by a tesla center before LR test.

[@mk500]

Wouldn’t the aero hubcaps make a significant difference?

[@bjornnyland]

Nope, not significant. Consumption might be 5-10 Wh/km lower which means 5-10 kWh less energy needed. At 200 kW charging speed, it takes 1.5-3 minutes extra.

[@ivankuljis1780]

@0:58 First point to the _YOKE_

[@teslaw-model3]

13:48 what's the exact wording? i think i didn't get it quite right for the google research...

[@tesla-spectre]

You have to do a summer run with this beast. It might with some luck beat the Kia even! Totally impressive. Consumption might be 20-30% less, no?

[@seb.]

Now that you're familiar with Tesla yoke, compare it with a Lexus RZ. Can't believe Tesla didn't make it properly. For headlights, - long press only forces high beam. - quick press flashes or turn off high beam.
