[@KyleConner]

Tromsø to Nordkapp and back to Oslo! The long final part of the trip. Decided to not make it 3 parts and release the full video for you now. Enjoy! Sorry about me being sick and having no voice this video (it was so frustrating!) 😅

[@Idbuzzpro]

Just send me a msg when you are in norway if you cant activate Chargers. I can just start them in my app for different chargers.

[@digilux4017]

Tromsø, My birth town. Waiting on TYLR delivery March/April. Like your videos

[@felixklusener5530]

I enjoyed every single second of your video. Thank you! I was up there from Germany about two weeks later with my 60 kWh LFP Model 3 and have to say that the area between Narvik and Alta has the best views and the most beautiful nature I have ever seen. I even spotted Orcas close to Skibotn (where you charged the first time after leaving Tromsø). They were hunting atlantic herrings in the fjords around Skibotn and were just about 100 meters from the shore. On the way back I went trough Finland and Sweden too and used the same Recharge station you did. After watching your video I just want to book the next ferry and get back to Norway. I just want to be there watching the beautiful nature while eating some tasty reindeer and bring some memories and some more reindeer meat home, which I did when I was there in november/december (about 7 lbs for Christmas dinner kept frozen in the frunk).

[@ulfw]

You did great Kyle. Glad you're feeling better now!

[@SamuraiTacos1]

ik the feeling being sick sucks

[@brandonpreston84]

These long videos is what got me interested in EV videos. Haven't seen one like this is awhile. It is inspiring me to take road trips like this.

[@loupoulain8103]

This is my absolute favorite road trip video from Out of Spec. Beautifully shot and edited. I wanna go there!

[@erolcoulson8982]

Love the way Allissa says architecture, cute ....

[@marconrustNL]

@3:09 It's actually a shore power supply for vessels so they don't have to run their (fossil) generators while docked. Anyway, great video again. Makes me remember my Nordkapp trip back in winter of 2016 all the way from The Netherlands (with a fossil Volvo; now an M3LR)

[@raba1der]

Very fun to see. I used to live in Sveg a long time ago, funny seeing it again. Those drunken late night hot dogs with Shrimp Salad at Circle-K (Then Statoil) on my way home after partying with way too much to drink is still imprinted on my mind. Crazy times.

[@Joshude]

I'm from Germany and my parents have a cabin few miles outside of Sveg, cool to see you charging there. Never been there with my Model 3, will do that this summer! Great video as always!

[@freundron]

Kyle: at 1:27:40'ish you mention that you have to "BYOC" (bring your own cable). In Europe for the Type 2 public charging this is standard. It allows the charging locations to look much neater and clean compared to the US approach with our dangling cables, which are of course, susceptible to vandalism. Plus they collect leaves and dirt as the coiled cables lie on the ground. With this approach, you always have your own cable, so the probability of encountering damaged ones or having your charge port damaged due to a worn-out or injured plug goes to zero. Too bad the SAE didn't consider that approach for the J-1772's we have in the US. I carry a 25 ft. J-1772 extension cord, which would allow me to stretch the connection away from a blocked (ICE'd) slot and still get a charge. (Admittedly I can't say I've ever used it except sometimes at home.)😏

[@DisembodiedScreams]

Enjoyed both videos. Like the blend of both driving and walking experiences. Got to see a lot more of the places they visited.

[@gridjac]

These were the videos that got me following the Out of Spec family of channels. Love the road trips. This one was epic.. I lived in Alaska for a while and the scenery in Norway reminds me of it. Especially the walking and driving on sheets of ice! 🙂 Hope you guys keeps making the road trip videos, you really have shown me what’s possible with an EV. Don’t get me wrong, snow slaloms and the Twizzy are fun too, but these videos are the best. 👍

[@stianstrand8851]

First time I've seen my apartment building on a KZbin video, watching from Alta 😁

[@zmarko]

Seeing the Aurora is a bucket list thing for me. That's so awesome you got to see it! Stunning!

[@Timo-qb1gf]

Carrying your own cable gives you more freedom with the parking. Many people carry a short one for 90% of the cases and a long one for the 10% of times when some idiot is blocking the charging spot.

[@AtlasAir767CA]

I Love these roadtrip videos! Can't wait to visit Norway one day.

[@JanHenrik541]

What’s interesting is that most of the charging spots east/north of Tromsø is around three years old or newer, and now you can do a round trip like this in an EV so effortlessly. 😊

[@tomhoots]

Two hours (well, almost) of Out of Spec Motoring goodness. And many good comments here to explain some of the interesting things found along the way. Great fun!

[@timoliver8940]

I found a work around for foreigners trying to set up a charging account in Norway last year was to use the address of the first hotel we stayed at to set it up - no problems then creating an account via various apps.

[@Gh0stHack3r.]

Glad you enjoyed Norway, come back soon...

[@KyleConner]

My favorite country!

[@m1geo]

​@@KyleConner come and do some trips in the Scottish Highlands in the summer! 👌

[@HelloSwiftful]

This was a great trip in the Nordic countries. I enjoyed watching every minute of it!

[@sjokomelk]

Late comment about the Type2 cables - Different car have different charge ports. Leaf and older cars have the Type1/J1772 plug. New cars have Type2. Tesla Roadster has the Tesla Roadster plug. By providing your own cable the charging station works with all kinds of vehicles. And you don't have any maintenance issues with worn or damaged cables and plugs.

[@danimper2517]

The drifts! 🔥❄☃🏂🏔⛄☃

[@graham2890]

Such a gorgeous area. Can't wait to visit Norway!

[@ichigo19870]

How sick you wanna sound? Kyle: YES!!!

[@kqschwarz]

What an EPIC trip. Love these videos. So glad you were feeling better by the end of the trip, I was worried about you.

[@Timo-qb1gf]

The small grey individual 16A charging poles are a thing in the nordics since forever. They're not only for block heaters but also electric cabin heaters. Usually they also have a built in manual timer for a e.g. 4hr cycle.

[@reggievonramstein]

Does that mean you can’t leave the car plugged in for more than 4h? Isn’t that car going to freeze overnight?

[@Timo-qb1gf]

@@reggievonramstein no you just set it up so that it goes on about 4hr before your departure time. Running them 24h would be just waste of energy. With EVs obviously a different story and you might not use any timer.

[@reggievonramstein]

@@Timo-qb1gf Oh, I see. I thought you kept the car plugged in the whole night. Thanks.

[@esaedvik]

@@reggievonramstein You do, it just has a timer for few hours before departure.

[@KarlWilcoxVideos]

Love these videos! The northern lights look amazing id love to see them in Norway as Iceland was amazing

[@lastrebel6174]

55:18 Just to make one thing clear tho. We are propably one of the most reserved people in the whole world so hopefully the vibes weren't too bad so you might come back to Finland some other time too! (explore the lapland and santa's village for example) there's plenty of reindeers for you to highjack back to home! Love the videos, keep them coming.

[@erocksplinter4934]

man this is one of the most useful model y videos i have seen. my 2023 MYP should be here in the next 2-3 weeks so i am trying to get everything set up, and tint is an absolute must in arkansas. thanks!

[@gbw28]

They are in a Model 3 not a Y 😊. Enjoy your new car when it arrives!

[@m1geo]

The main reason for carrying your own cable is that it (a) makes the charger cheaper to make, (b) isn't vandalised or smashed, (c) is your responsibility to maintain. Plus, as you say, looks rider.

[@jan-erikeriksson1747]

Thanks for a long and wonderful video. I also recommend the restaurant in Töre, and if they also get IONITY chargers in Töre then it will be a perfect place for all electric cars that drive up to the northernmost part of Sweden, Norway or Finland.

[@paulstewart1626]

A nice wintery drive. Great place to drive in winter. A very nice video. Was nice to hear Alyssa as she gets out from behind the camera.

[@rolandsoderlund1948]

Regarding outlets for block heating. In new installations, like the one you had in Umeå, they are temperature dependent. They do not have power on all the time, you plug in you car and set your departure time. The outlet then starts at different time depending on the surrounding temperature. So. say at around 0 C the will only deliver power for 30 minutes, but when you have -20 C you will have power 3 hours before your departure.

[@heinzruffieux5817]

Made the same trip 3 years ago out of Switzerland with my Model S with a total of 7000km and no Superchargers after Sweden. Pello only had the 50kW charger, no Supercharger at Skaidi. But we made it anyway! Well done and VERY nice pictures.

[@PierreSimonsson]

6:42 9.30 people alreaddy at there work place when do you start your wokday in the US :)

[@ivb815]

I love the northern artic lights!

[@geirmyrvagnes8718]

The parking structure in Tromsø is also a bomb shelter in case of war. You don't need blast doors that are always open to park cars. If you are rolling in from... the east... this is around the area you would encounter difficult mountainous terrain. A fact that is no fun at all, these days.

[@KyleConner]

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

[@GonzoHutt]

Bomb shelter that back in the 70s and 80s at the height of the cold war had to always be in readiness state. No parking then! All public buildings were required to have these. After the wall fell, regulations loosened up, and these shelters were repurposed for other things such as parking. In schools they usually became storage space.

[@Jeddin]

The white bands in the sky are the aurora as it’s stating to come out. Sometimes they will just appear white but if you adjust your camera settings you will pick up more color on the camera

[@Json918]

Always here for Tesla content

[@heliosAJ]

Big shout out for making this while being sick

[@dmiller9786]

Last week: "Cold soaked cars take hours to charge! This Week: "Its better to charge in the morning to warm the car"

I have been waiting for next part of this trip . 👍

[@mikoske]

The Pello DC unit is 50kW, checked online. Just visited Norway this summer and cool to see familiar roads and places on this video.

[@GeoPoi86]

1:13:34 "Sometimes a little bit of force didn't hurt anyone " i almost spilled my drink 🤣😂

[@Niranga]

Great video. Shows how simple road tripping a Tesla even at sub zero temperatures.

[@PierreSimonsson]

pluging in upp till 10 degrees Celsius is You stillheat upp the engine block and you save Much Fuel and Co2 1:24:14

[@thenetworkarchitectchannel]

Interesting and beautiful road trip. Thx for taking us along.

[@TheAlliput]

I almost feel a little bit sorry for you guys, that you are always in such a rush. This is some of the most beautiful places on earth. Eating from gas stations and powering through the dark woulnt be it for me. But it would take me about three weeks to do a trip loke this in my own pace Anyways, looks like you were super lucky that you drove up there during one of the most dry winters ever. There would have been a chance that you couldnt have made it to the north cape otherwise Anyways great video. I always love seeing these roadtrips

[@crooncroon5314]

Still looking forward to Rivian Twizzy road trip video and please post more often on this channel and don't forget fans of the channel. I think I speak for everyone when I say this.

[@kruemelfelix]

The 3 post cabinets are actually imo better than 4 post ones if you only have a single cabinet. The cabinet can supply around 300kW or 550kW max (depends on the cabinet type), which means if 4 cars would be charging there you would have the same issue as on V2 chargers. The magic behind V3 is just that the cabinets can share power between each other compared to V2. But this won't work with a single cabinet :P In the German Tesla Forum there was a great test from two years ago on the Nüburgring Supercharger. It's a V3 with 4posts. One car gets 250kW, two cars will each get 150kW, 3cars around 100kW and 4cars 75kW. It's a 300kW cabinet and it the end it also would be suitable for only 3 stalls, 4 aren't faster.

[@k34561]

I have photographed a name plate on a US V3 cabinet. There is a 3 phase AC input. It can be attached attached to 380-480V 3 phase up to 430 Amps. On 480V 3 Phase (Common in US) this gives 357kW power. On 400V 3 Phase this gives 297kW power. There is also a 575kW DC Input/Output at 880-1000V 640 Amps. My guess is this is mostly used for sharing power between cabinets. It could also be used to hook up to batteries like a Megapack. Therefore these cabinets can handle 932kW = 357kW + 575kW. On a single cabinet 480V 3 Phase site. 4 cars at 90kW, 3 cars at 120kW, 2 cars at 180kW, 1 car at 250kW. On a 3 cabinet 480V site 12 stall site, there is 1080kW shared between the cars. So 4 cars will get 250kW unless all 4 cars are hooked to one cabinet. That does mean a fully loaded site will get slow. I experienced that at the Michigan City, IN site when it was 8 stall.

[@corysladams]

Love the incorporation of Scandinavian DJ vibes during the driving scenes

[@erolcoulson9194]

Norway is a beautiful country

[@Henning_Rech]

1:27:40 it's not just about theft, but also about cable length. People can use 5 or even 7 m long cables for type 2 to be more flexible with parking. And if the charging outlet itself would have a fixed 5 m long cable it could easily lay around when not in use, become damaged, people may stumble over it. - And theft: a thief may prefer to cut the cable from an unused station with no voltage on, than while it is used.

[@MoyzonRecords]

2 hour vlog is something Premium here :D Thanks for your effort and time to film and edit this video, Appreciate it bro! Love your videos. Keep it up!

[@darrenorange2982]

Dude I am so sad for you being sick for this whole trip. I feel you've been there. But your voice is comedic gold and I'm sorry it's funny and sad.

[@kepter9990]

Speeding tickets in Finland are based on your salary. Most expensive ticket was fined to a Businessman in Helsinki who did 80km/h in a 40km/h zone and was fined for 170 000 euros(182 000 dollars). So they hurt you equally bad no matter your social status.

[@john3Lee]

Thumbs up from me - I really enjoyed this video.... Road trips are always full of adventures........ Thanks

[@deasunodonnachadha6408]

Awesome scenery. Crazy ice roads.

[@automatix5]

1:36:43 You need the CCS adapter to charge a Model S/X on a V3 Supercharger. If you don't have the retrofit, the V3 locations aren't visible in the navigation.

[@m1geo]

I had the CCS upgrade on my 2018 Model S. Best upgrade I did! 😁 Can use all the CCS chargers! 😁

[@hawk6dm7]

Love the videos. I would like to see you do a hyper-miling video once. Just for the heck of it. See just how much you can extend the range. Take whatever EV you have available that has the longest range and hyper-mile it.

[@itsmmt]

Kyle, definitely wondering while watching this video what there is no mention of the “flashing” tire pressure warning while driving in very cold temps. Clearly this negatively impacts range. What am I missing? Excellent video otherwise. So appreciate the hard work. Thanks to you both.

[@ronnie5966]

Video shows arriving at Supercharger in Ånge and then we are att Sundsvall 😀 Then leaving Sundsvall and video shows leaving Ånge 😀Mixed up Ånge and Sundsvall Supercharger.

Loved the video! (both parts). Absolutely the best part of this one was at 1:48:44 - I laughed out loud. 😂

[@tomingejosefsen]

Kautokeino is not an touristtown, its an samitown with alot of reindeerowners and herders. The reason you dont see reindeer at the coast in the winter in Northern Norway is that they are moved inland, like to the area around Kautokeino.

[@ampedampson5140]

My wife loves her Q4 e-tron!

[@mfurmyr]

Fish oil, Møllers tran, is the Norwegian version on Popeys spinnage. You will be strong. Either you love it or you hate it. Tromsø is the Nordic Paris. A vibrant cosmopolite city. Trolls live in the forrest and mountains and the first Norwegian car was called Troll. The video shows how boring it is to drive through Sweden.

[@DJJS7]

The view was amazing 😋

[@KyleConner]

Yes! Incredible

[@KennethLarsen100]

I live in the Mountain in norway with a lot of snow. It’s not that normal to have studded tires as you think. I haven’t had that for 10 years. And I am driving 60 000 k a year. But like your channel 😊

[@jaken005]

You should have used the 16 stall v3 charger in Sundsvall instead of the old v2 station to save a couple of seconds, but the old v2 works fine as well. Btw that OKQ8 charger is manefactured by Delta, SK (Skellefteåkraft) is a power company that works together with OKQ8 to build out their EV charging network. OKQ8 is one of the largest petrol station brands in Sweden and are building hundreds of fast chargers at their station the comming years, just as Cirkle K, their largest competitor.

[@Superman-xr1oh]

Did the Out of Spec team give up on this channel? Almost two months without an upload.

[@CSquared092]

They probably did. This dude and Alyssa broke up plus all the other dudes that used to be around haven’t been in any of the videos for quite some time now. My guess is all the KZbin money and fame went to this dudes head because he’s a massive dick to Alyssa and his parents now lol it’s his way or the highway and I’m guessing most of them chose to leave

[@RuneVenes]

6:42 at 9.30 in the morning they are already at work!

[@ReneAltena]

Kyle, love your videos! And I trust you did, but don't forget to clean your license plate. You will get a fine driving around in Europe with a dirty of snowed up license plate.

[@Riverrain123]

Great video! :D

Watching this video from my warm bed on Maui, I want to feel the cold of Norway!!

[@RoamingNorway]

Fantastic road trip. Very unfortuate that you were sick for this trip.

[@esaedvik]

Warming up the block improves MPG and lowers pollution by a lot. I've never seen anyone plug in outside the home myself. At a hotel, maybe? Never done it myself, barely do it at home, I drive so little.

[@RuneVenes]

Speeding fines is pretty expensive in Norway aswell!

[@huzygaming7216]

Must be an editing error after Skellefteå supercharher... because after that you are charging in Töre(300km~ north)... and then back to Skellefteå... and then Umeå. Just something I noticed, fun video! Done the same trip in 2019 with my M3P during summer.

[@adamcnessesq]

Proper Norwegian charging. I approve. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@sg222]

This different varieties of apps that makes it difficult for foreigners to charge is just frustrating. I live here in Germany and to travel through Europe is just difficult. That is just holding back electric mobility. People don't have such problems with ICE vehicles. It also shows why Teslas are so awesome, even in foreign country one charge. But only on highways and some destination chargers. I hope they also had an AC charging network, but I know it would be difficult due to different regulations in different cities.

[@trinitonv8]

Nice video.28 brand new stalls at Elverum.Tesla SC FTW.

[@valandil86]

There is no site limitation in Skaidi. I live pretty close to that charger. You probably just didn't preheat before trying to charge there. I normally get up to 252kw in my model 3 lr there.

[@djb1607]

That BMW wagon sounds like it has an RB26.

[@braaten1973]

love your road trip videos

[@darrenorange2982]

Because that charger can only do 3 cars at 250kw, in the US they normally install 3 of those and 12 chargers and they can share the power.

[@Dark_Vader888]

So awesome to see how tourists visiting for the first time do driving and charging using their Supercharger network. Saw low Psi warning throughout the whole series. Were your tires purposely low or was it a defective tpms sensor? Maybe efficiency would be better with higher tire pressures.

[@kimmoahola4528]

Speed tickets in Finland depend on one´s incomes. If you make a lot of money, you´ll get big fines. Some years ago an company exec. got like 100k€ fines for driving over 20 km/h over the limit.

[@AtotheJ13]

Did you know you could hit "unlock charge port" and it will also stop charging. So you only need to hit one button! Little life hack for you ;-)

[@plushiie_]

So weird to think that Alta and Prudhoe Bay is basically on the same latitude.

[@derrick1964]

45:15 That parking job is all good unless you take out a couple of stalls 😂
