[@MrDavidheald]

Your new co-host is a great addition and I think that this type of test is more relevant to the way we actually use cars day to day.

[@Rufus2005f1]

As soon as isabelle heard "waffle" she was interested lol

[@johnair1]

I think she will be happy once she is allowed to face towards the street instead of looking backwards ;)

[@Rufus2005f1]

@@johnair1 lol I think you are right. They will have good adventures then

[@Podule0]

Great video. Isabel was fine, her (very) minor interruptions were not a problem at all and you, as always, were a pro! As long as Isabel is happy and not upset, she's totally fine. How many other jobs can people take their small children to work with them and still get the job done. Great job.

[@CampGareth]

The 360 camera is a must-have feature for me and there just aren't many cars with it in this price range at the moment new or used. Id3 can have it but it's optional, stellantis cars it's usually optional. Things should be better in a few years.

[@eb1888.]

I like this format. The info comes even though it's not optimally structured as in a presentation. Keep the second mic.

[@MrVeeBlog]

She so looks like your wife Bjorn. She enjoys it with her dad. Melts your heart. All the best and thanks for this drive. BTW, I need to try the waffles too. lol. Bringing her along is fine for drives like this but the real nerdy type of drives, driving alone works best, I think.

[@rainsgooi9281]

If you change to different theme in the instrument cluster, you get to see more information (ie outside temperature and the regen high/standard)

[@johnair1]

I think those trips are great. She gets familiar with being in the car and also learns the english language. Even if she might not understand a lot - for now - later she will have a much better feeling for english because she was exposed to your nice rambling and in-depth knowlege about EV´s etc. Ah yes and Isabel is very cute in the seat :-) Seems like she enjoys it :).

[@AdamPearce]

Honestly, I live in North America - and we can't get 80 percent of what you test - BUT I will say this 1000Km challenge is highly relevant here given that our infrastructure is so far behind and our distances are significant between settlements. So i'd hate to see them disappear completely.

[@ptuomo]

Dolphin is quite expensive in Finland compared to like MG4 or M3. I have not seen any on the road

[@johnlambert1744]

I'm loving your videos with the little princess in the car Bjorn! I hope you can do more of this type more often, she's such a cutie. Especially when she repeats what you say!

[@alexanderkarlsson5200]

Need more videos with Isabel!

[@davedave3383]

Really great to hear Isabel giving her thoughts on your driving

[@chunsa5849]

Dolphin is not that small. Our first car when we had two kids, both in car seats, was a hyundai i10. We only brought a small stroller for the 2 year old. The newborn we carried in a sling.

[@PierreSimonsson]

no proplem with isabell there. i actually think it makes the video better. :D so do what ever you need to do. and about the microphone if she is with you she need to bi heard. :)

[@ziggyyo]

27:31 There is a Wikipedia entry for „New car smell“. Some chemicals could have adverse effects on health. It is recommended to drive with open windows to reduce the concentration of chemicals in the cabin air.

[@simondehaas8784]

I was a bit surprised the boot alone seemed smaller than the ID3 in your banana box test - did you test whether it can fit a baby stroller/pram? The ID3 is pretty good for this. I would agree that when travelling long distancs with family (I have two small kids) this sort of charging performance is basically OK because the kids are slower.

[@bjornnyland]

[@fidorfsmf6349]

We want more family videos!

[@samuxan]

I liked that rant about the smell of the car, maybe it should be tested like the tires making a difference between winter and summer. All the cars I've owned smell different when they've been out in the sun all day vs. in winter when the weather is colder

[@davidwatson22]

I was thinking it would make a decent family car ,just a pity that it will still be expensive due to UK import taxes so not as good value will be I competition with the MG4

[@mdshovel]

What a delight ... your life has become so much of ours

[@sjb1604]

I have no idea what you said at all... I was too busy watching the little Princess! I agree that ISOfix should be in the front passenger seat. It is much better for the interaction with the child

[@reynoldichi1090]

Model 3 highland doesn't have blinker stalks but i love Tesla tech

[@KevinT3141]

Yup, the user interface and software choices in our Model Y often infuriate me, but the technology is a decade ahead of everybody and I'm happy to own that part of it.

[@SirNecro]

Hi Bjørn,. I think you should keep bringing your child along. I think it shows a more "real world" use case for the cars and it gives you that new aspect to test for families to see which is best. I think it's also quite good to show that you are a family man.

[@TheLeaderr]

No clue how on earth did EU dealers come up with 30k euro price tag on these ultra cheap entry level EVs... Completely nuts lol...

[@TheLeaderr]

@@Devilhuo It costs between 12.5k-16k in China. Even if it costs around 25k here, it would still be significantly cheaper than its competitors...

[@TheHenricus69]

I like these videos Bjorn 😊 Isabelle is very funny and i love the interaction between you and her😊 Can't wait until she is really going to talk to you, that will be funny 🤣 Achtung daddy 🤣🤣👍💕

[@matynaty82]

It's always more fun with kids 😉. So yeah bring Isabel with you.

[@CampGareth]

I enjoyed seeing you use autosteer in a normal situation and showing faith in it. It feels like when you test it in other cars you are trying to trick it but that doesn't tell us if it's usable

[@williamarmstrong7199]

Lol brilliant video and very rellivent for families looking to buy a car.

[@MuhammadIsa-ik3kh]

I like this camera view 👍

[@Rufus2005f1]

Nice video, family videos are good

[@davea691]

Lots of roundabouts. Better than traffic lights.

[@emmap1259]

A bit of everything is approved by me.

[@SkaBob]

I would assume the passenger airbag is not on ?

[@Danne89]

He showed in previous video how to deactivate it in Dolphin so I'm sure it's not active

[@bjornnyland]

Of course not

[@hli33]

The food/plate holder underneath the screen is baller

[@ipullstuffapart]

It's interesting how in Australia our design rules don't allow disabling the passenger airbag if fitted, so carseats in the front is too dangerous. It would be awesome if it was allowed, it would be fun to have a kid up front. We do allow kids in the front seat, but only if all the other seats are already occupied. Due to the inability to disable the airbag, it actually makes this situation more dangerous for the child.

[@RechargableBattery]

The 3.15 beep was the front cross traffic alert.

[@bjornnyland]

3:15

[@tobimai4843]

Similar size as ID3, but (depending on the country) the Dolphin is far cheaper. Also IMO the ID3 is ugly, especially on the inside

[@davenz000]

Has indicator stalks. Better than a Tesla already.

[@bernardcharlesworth9860]

I think the young one should do all future videos

[@JiajuChen]

Kids have different perception of flavors. Most stuff would taste more salty, so maybe try something sweet. BTW you just mentioned the smell. I heard Volvo always had a team of smelling experts, is that actually noticeable?

[@josephcullen2512]

Video with baby assistant is good 👍😊

[@AaronStarkLinux]

Isabel, repeat after me: "Daddy, buy me an EQS. Daddy, buy me an EQE AMG"

[@telih]

how was the child carrier strapped in if the seat belt was not used?

[@Danne89]

Isofix in the front

[@dxutube]

Good real world test. If she needs to come with you that's fine.

[@youxkio]

Why do these BYDs rapid gate? Could it be because it knows the external temperature and factors it into the battery conditioning?

[@bjornnyland]

Bad cooling

[@kosmokramer9502]

@@bjornnylandI wouldn’t say bad cooling, just not as good as Tesla. When rapid charging my Dolphin 60.5kWh, it still maintains a charge speed of 65kW, even when the cooling system kicks in.

[@youxkio]

@@bjornnyland Yeah, I remember a previous video of yours. The software could be improved in terms of BMS temperature.

[@juanvga]

Byd make its own Batteries. My choice over any other brand

[@nakfan]

ABC = Always Be Covering eyes while driving 😅

[@RechargableBattery]

ID3 is really basic compared to this cool car!

[@chunsa5849]

Nice video with Isabel but I doubt whether she would like a 1000 km challenge. I guess it will take you more time if you bring her. Taking care of her and you will take longer than the necessary charging time. At least that is my experience when traveling long distance with kids. And as soon she will use a toilet in stead of diaper. The “range” of her blatter will decide your stops.

[@bjornnyland]

It would only be a part of the 1000 km challenge.

[@benedictuswinner3995]

that probably the smell from ur dashboard

[@easy08154711]

I love your videos, this one is noisy though.

[@bjornnyland]

You should receive 50 bans for that "autopilot" 🙂.

[@berdugosocials9854]

Though the capsule is rated for x years on the child, it seems that she’s outgrown it

[@karlitono]

Probably just needs to be rotated front facing for extra leg space but in Scandi they advise keep as long rear facing as possible. Up to 4y.

[@berdugosocials9854]

Her shoulders are way above where the child rests their head and her legs feel crammed, the non capsule child seats would have that marker to move it up and down that’s why I said she’s outgrown it

[@bjornnyland]
