[@YulianV1990]

Yes, indeed. I was here when Bjorn released the first roadtrip to Trondheim in the winter as soon he got the car delivered :) This is the times when he had less than 3k subscribes if my memory serves me well. After that I was sold and been subscriber here since then. Really glad he had bought back Millennium Falcon that would be definitely fun times.

[@adewouters]

Me too, and watching Bjorn's videos made me want to test drive one, I first drove a Model S in July 2014. P85 like Millenium Falcon, that was a blast !

[@arjunkeshri3862]

Me too

[@SimonClaringbold]

Genius move - many of us will want to keep our Model S cars, so now we can learn a lot from your experience

[@MrPete81]

Also for those of us who can't afford a brand new EV, it will be interesting to see how the earlier versions still cope now. Second hand ICE cars can keep going for 20+ yrs if well looked after, so EVs heading to 10yrs old are probably the closest in comparison. Either way, glad to see MF back in Bjørn's hands! :)

[@Gary_R]

This is a great idea Bjorn. With more and more used EV's coming to the market you can dispel a lot of myths about owning an 'old' EV.

[@Gh0stHack3r.]

Amazing, he's a keeper.. Maybe give him the CCS and MCU2 upgrade and he will be as new... Can't wait to see more videos in future..

[@johnair1]

yes and we know that Ev´s last longer in general than normal ICE cars not to speak of service costs.

[@arnoldcziurlok4451]

@Bjørn Really love your decision! You ARE the reason that I own a Model S since 2015. I also want to drive my car for ever. The environment reason counts :) Now I look forward to see more about a car like mine :)) Thank You, Bjørn

[@ValentinBrard]

I remember watching your first road trip videos. I have not watched your videos in the last 12 months. Watching this I could feel your emotions as you were walking us through the car and and remembering the little stories... I think this is awesome that you now have the Millennium Falcon back. Looking forward to following your new adventures.

[@DesignerKollektiv]

A Dutch Norge connection. Great. Well deserved sponsorship. You completely convinced me to buy a 3! Thanks for all your great efforts. Amazing.

[@veilside62]

this made my day. i've been watching since your first video. this was the car that made me discover tesla, but also the car that made me take a roadtrip from france to norway in 2015, on the same roads that i'd seen you drive on for hours on youtube.

[@_kj2]

I joined your channel, when you just received MF. Followed, and still following, for years now. You Bjorn, are the reason why I drive electric now :) Get MF back in shape. Clean interior and exterior. Maybe some mods if available. OG followers will love it :D

Recently I started going back to your very first video and watching them all from the beginning, so this is really timely for me. It's great to see Millenium Falcon back where he belongs! I love all the interesting stuff you do with EVs, particularly Tesla, and you're the reason I bought my Model 3 two years ago. Best car I've ever owned. Keep up the great, work! I love your no BS style!

[@arshamskrenes]

I'm so excited you have the Millennium Falcon back! Back in the day I watched every single one of your and Chris' (Kmanauto) videos before purchasing my P85+. After all these years, we're still using it as our only vehicle, but will upgrading to the CyberTruck as we now have a dog and 4 children. I was skeptical about a lithium battery in an EV and wanted to hold off for super capacitors. You and Chris proved to me that the battery is not only comparable but has substantially more longevity than an ICE. So thank you Bjorn! You and the Millennium Falcon have a special place in our hearts and family's history.

[@CoolSilver]

Thanks Mister Green for this opportunity for Bjorn. Also me to experience this car in real time even in older years. Great business plan. Good luck on expansion. I started following after you sold Millenium Falcon. You were already was nimbering in Optimus Prime. I had watched through old videos to learn about Tesla. You had about 75k subscribers at that time beginning of 2017. I feel I been here from the start because so many great educational videos and trips. I really would given you referral credit, but they still never took it for Model 3 when I ordered. Need a Nimber trip for old times sake too.

[@traustitj]

Before I bought my Tesla, I absolutely binge watched Tesla Bjørn like the hottest series on Netflix, even more. Some information videos where he did planning and math were watched more often. My first car was actually Model S P85 Red, Lucifer. Bjørn absolutely removed any doubt I had

[@mclenachan]

[@plumcrazy222]

Glad you got your car back bjorn. I know the nostalgia a car can bring. I still own the very first car I bought new. A 1996 Toyota Camry. She's got 126,000 miles / 202,777 km on her and is still in almost new condition. I've bought new cars since. A 2009 Camry and a 2015 Highlander, but there's something about my first new car that I bought that the others can't touch. She's still my favorite! Can't wait to see what you have in store for the Millennium Falcon.

This is a great move for your channel. So many older model S owners out there that will be interested in the coming content 👍

[@TeslaTurkvlog]

I started to deep dive on EVs in the early days with Björn and Millenium Falcon back in what I believe to be early 2014. I started Turkish EV community in late 2014, now I make EV videos and repair EVs. Seeing the Millenium Falcon is so nostalgic. Also Björn you're a huge influence and still the only proper EV reviewer. (almost only) So kudos, keep up the good work. Can't believe these were 7 years ago and now we're in a pandemic with a world finally conforming with the idea of EVs.

[@TeslaTurkvlog]

I also invited you to Turkey again back in the day but you didn't make it all the way on your Eurotrip then. Invite is still on the table, if you make it all the way here we can offer services to the Falcon in E-Garaj too!

I never knew I’d have such an interest in this back story. Yes, I watched the whole video and could watch more. Tesla has come a long way in a short time and I agree with you about keeping EVs for a long time as long as the battery holds up. I plan on keeping my M3 LR RWD forever. Hope to learn about the repairs as they come up.

Dear Björn, congrats to the great reunion! Seems to be a very interesting idea to keep your first Tesla "forever", to show the world that Teslas/EVs can be maintained to live forever like ICE-cars has proven for decades. Especially with financial backup from Mr. Green this would be an affordeable adventure and would give you access to a different target group of potential new subscribers. I love your channel and watching your daily vids has become a beloved routine I won't miss. Keep on doing you, I wish you the very best! Liebe Grüße aus Salzburg von Julius

Congrats Bjorn and welcome back Millennium Falcon. I believe I started watching your videos at the tail end of your Falcon days and transitioned to Optimus Prime. I understand the attachment that we have with our first electric vehicles. And this one really helped to launch your career. They will be cool to see the videos that you make with the new old car. I also think it makes a great and appropriate studio. And FWIW, your camera equipment is good enough that it really didn't matter if your garage light was working so no need to worry about it.

Great news, Bjorn! I've been watching since Millenium Falcon's time on your channel and was happy to see him return. We also have a 2013 Model S P85 (Feb 2013 build), so I am going to be watching with interest on the changes/repairs/upgrades you plan to do! We recently did get our MCU upgraded to the newest Intel Atom system, so we have the latest and greatest. I believe they also replaced the dashboard display behind the steering wheel as well. Would recommend the upgrade, and it would take care of the 3G signal issue for you as well.

[@stevenahm7299]

Bjørn's videos on Millennium Falcon in 2014 and 2015 convinced me that Teslas were the real thing. I bought mine in the summer of 2015 and have loved it ever since. Great to see the car back in his hands, and I expect to benefit from his planned fix-it-up videos.

My regular ride is now a Model X 75D. I still get the turn signal and the autopilot control confused from time to time.

[@zedski]

Super excited to see the legend back! Will be awesome to see what kind of shape he is in.

[@wakeywarrior]

S is actually hard to beat and much better than a 3 in many ways- refinement, size for road trips and long motorway drives. Only thing I prefer 3 for is narrow roads. Also exclusivity, 3s are everywhere now but an S is still rare here and turns heads. I have an S though with modern kit. For an 8.5 year old car that has done 350k that doesn’t look bad at all. Few cars have aged so well in looks. The best seats in S are the last set of cloth seats they did- those things are so comfortable, look cool and still look new, years later.
