Tesla Model 3 LR Highland Sunday Driving in Thailand

[@karampreetsingh7815]

Bjorn we just need a LR Rwd Test now to fully compare…

[@thenobodz]

Yes, yes, yes! 702 km in real!

[@Dutchy1972]

Haha I was just watching the previous video and this popped up. Love the videos cheers and happy new year from Calgary Alberta Canada

[@SirNecro]

I think my favourite Bjørnism is "ABC" followed by any amount of words beginning with any letters he likes..

[@skipmcilvaine]

He's adorable! 🥰🤣

[@gregspedding727]

Interesting video. Nice upgrades but just cant do a car with no stalks or buttons and if you want them you have to pay more from aftermarket :(

[@Kavyatej]

the music was a bit different than usual, nice change!

[@joeyabb1965]

I’ve lived with Teslas. They have the ‘potential’ to be the best. There are numerous issues that’s keeps it from being the best.

[@LastWish90]

Like, build quality and service quality for example ? Luckily no more major issues with mine, since the vehicle warranty ended, hope it stays that way. The only problem I have currently is that the Heatpump spits out some errors in Service mode. Maybe there is too much coolant in there or they didn't evacuate it properly when they changed it under warranty. Another problem is Rust at the contact point of the mudflaps on the side fenders, I have aftermarket ones already, and will have to clean that up and put some paint on it, but I can only do that once it gets warmer here, but a professional painter it, it will probably last a good while, he can do it, but would need to remove the whole fender to do a proper job, he would leave it like that if it was his car.

[@malcewicz]

So what is the best?

[@stigronnysuleskard5299]

Then try a Nio

[@joeyabb1965]

@ There is no best. Best is subjective to the individual. A Tesla may be the best for a part of the EV population but all you have to do is a search on KZbin for Tesla problems. Constant rattles and creeks issues and other fit and finish issues. Door handles where the kick out motor fails at least once a year. Now that’s not saying that other EVs don’t suffer from the same issues, as we all know they do but labeling a product the best when it’s clearly still a work in progress is just silly. Most redefined is probably a more accurate description for Teslas. They are literally years ahead in the software side of EVs and Tesla was way ahead in the battery side but China is catching up quick and so are some of the US makers. So for me, and this is just my opinion, I would call Tesla the most refined EV on the market today.

[@malcewicz]

@@joeyabb1965 I get your point and mostly agree. I guess we have a slightly different understanding of what "best" means. To me "best" in this case means "better than the current competition" which I think Tesla clearly is. This does not mean it's without flaws, because it's far from perfect. Another way I like to look at this is that every EV so far has one thing that it's "the best" at, whether that would be range, charging performance, comfort, etc., but what Tesla offers is not "the best" in each of the categories, but a consistent "good" or "very good" in all, while other manufacturers always compromise - for example BMWs great comfort but horrible efficiency and range.

[@mfurmyr]

It looks like you need a “knekkebrød kur” when you return to Yeshome. 😊

[@sargfowler9603]

They are definitely a Marmite type of car. You either love them or hate them.

[@alanbutler487]

I wonder how much the air density makes to efficiency, colder air is normally denser than warm air

[@camsmith4047]

Not in humid weather of SE Asia

[@sofianelkhayat5010]

Please the test from model 3 highland lr rwd thanks

[@tomcockcroft9394]

My model y rwd in Thailand 15k miles in a year 200wh/mile

[@SpankeyMcCheeks]

So about 125 wh/km. Not bad!

[@zamafama2298]

Hello Bjorn from the Czech Republic. I wanted to ask you - to read data from Tesla, is the driving unit from sexy comander enough or is another obd unit needed? thank you very much for your reply and enjoy your stay

[@JuanBautistaGimenezSendiu]

Is "refreshing" the change of scenario to a hot climate

[@ding163]

Is the tesla got any alien stuff or it did some compromise in the aspect that you can not easily see？

[@roelvaneijndhoven718]

“Model 3 Thighland” 😉

[@armendg2134]

Love the video Bjørn! How do you get the ambient lights to blink green and red? Is that also a s3xy buttons feature?

[@bjornnyland]

Yes, you need the commander.

[@gargoylesmiles]

@bjorn what distance do you expect the Model 3 Highland LR RW drive achieve in Thailand?

[@paulsimpson8990]

Did anyone else gain a few km in range after the latest update?

[@solsson]

How does the easee charger work in Thailand, any features that won't work?

[@bjornnyland]

Works great

[@Jepbjer]

Crazy that it gets 90km more range compared to your Sunday drive test in Norway... And add to that, it seems like the battery is in worse conditions.. lower calculate capacity... Huge difference... Is speed lower? Are you going more downhills or what do you think is the reason behind such low consumption compared too your other test earlier this year... I cannot be the 10 degree warmer climate alone....

[@yj.c.]

The drive from Chiang Mai to Bangkok results in a slight net elevation loss (less than 3 kWh gain in energy) - this does not play into a big factor because 3 kWh of energy is not much. High temperatures play a big factor because hotter air is less dense - which means less drag at higher speeds. The biggest factor that impacts EV efficiency is drag, not so much on weight.

[@bjornnyland]

Speed is higher in Thailand. I cruise at 78 km/h all the way. In Norway we have many 50 and 60 zones too.

[@freestymc]

since when it's 82kwh gross capacity as it's still LG battery?

[@tesla-spectre]

I also thought LG is always 78.8kWh gross and 75.6 net.

[@bjornnyland]

Yes

[@TheEdmaster87]

It may be 82kwh, maybe Tesla uses lower and upper buffer?

[@konstantinsakharovsky7980]

"It's getting cold know, only 27 degrees Celsius outside". All of Scandinavia sends you rays of warmth 🌞

[@BSJWright]

That warning light is a Highland feature, nothing to do with SEXY buttons. Stalks are a thing of the past now, I'm looking forward to not having them in the future

[@Bnslamb]

Apparently the new MY are getting them back.

[@WilliamChan]

I can't tell if the slight pause before "cat" was deliberate or not lol

[@martinekstrom6303]

Knowing Bjørn, I strongly suspect it was deliberate.

[@carexpert_de]

Happy new year! What happened to your white Model 3?

[@bjornnyland]

Which one? Model 3 Long Range in Thailand or Model 3 Performance in Norway?

[@carexpert_de]

@ the one you brought from HongKong to Thailand back in the day?

[@bjornnyland]

Sold long time ago.

[@carexpert_de]

@ ah I thought you would still have it :)

[@carexpert_de]

@ understood! Well I'm already excited to explore Thailand from the EV perspective! We will also come in at the end of the week.

[@kiae-niro549]

Thailand is a beautiful country, when will you return? to Thailand permanently? and do you plan to return? Norway is beautiful but the weather is unlivable.

[@Xavi7192]

Nice music btw

[@ulyden1947]

BC is way off. 72 kWh ? Sad that Tesla dont know the battery nett capacity

[@chrhelm]

"brillant" to turn wheel in standstill for auto gear...

[@paalrusten]

People tent to give all the credit to Elon Musk for the Tesla design and efficiency, but he doesn’t design or engineer anything, just pay the best people to do it. You can see the actual designers talk about the model 3 in Jay Leno’s Garage.

[@ColeBlack2]

Oh wait until you try the new nag-less attention monitoring. It's quite nice to never have to touch the wheel. Does Europe have and shorter nag time on normal autopilot? I always thought that was short and annoying enough.

[@TheEdmaster87]

You know there is a trick to never touch the wheel, you attach some hangers on the wheel to simulate heavy hands? Use with great caution!

Tesla is so much more then just efficiency. It’s also pricing, power, included features, over the air updates/service, the technology with octovalve etc. I‘ve used many other electric cars like smart, Hyundai, Mercedes, VW and they never came close, especially at long trips (1000km or more)

[@Bimmer_i4_M50]

The Tesla could drive 1200 miles with one charge - I still wouldn’t want one.
