Pit Stop Bilpleie restores 2013 Model S P85 with 350.000 km on odometer

[@kimisaksen5653]

Hey Guys! Just to clarify things, i grew up in the hudson valley about an hour outside NYC after moving from Long island. Ive Lived in norway for over 20 years now so my vocabulary may be a bit rusty. 😅

[@richmeyer2064]

I was impressed with your American english, and could detect no accent, now I know why!

[@smokinjock]

Your American English is still perfect and your restoration results are impeccable.

[@Mario-zv3dw]

Oh I wrote the comment that I’ll quote below before reading your comment! “2 things: 1) I like more the word “blasted” instead of “bombarded”, idk why 😂 2) it’s strange, but the boss seems from USA 🤔 🤨 first I noticed the accent an then confirmed by the hat, both the way he is wearing it and the logo (NBA or maybe the baseball league) 😄, anyway funny quirk! It would have been nice a brief explanation... Anyway good job, it looks brand new! The most impressive one is the steering wheel and the seats!” So thank you for the explanation, I like these quirks 😄

[@thomasrodahldedekam193]

Kim! glad to see your doing good my friend! loooong time no see :) Thomas

[@ben81347]

Kim, just out of curiosity and if you’re willing to briefly share, how did you decide to move from the states to Norway? Or what was your primary motivating factor? I’m from LA and thinking about my family’s location in upcoming years. Thanks! 🙂

[@BrandonKipp]

Looks like they did a very detailed and professional job. Very impressive.

[@johnair1]

yes with expensive cars just put a complete PPF film (Paint protection) on it : )

[@wolfe1970]

Not really, couldn't be bothered to do the bonnet, couldn't be bothered to do the fog lights properly, looked like a i cant be bothered job.

[@altern8ive]

From a normal viewing distance it's almost back to showroom condition. A really good showcase of their expertise inside such a quick turnaround.

[@scottwills4698]

They did a great job!

[@GavinKacavenda]

Restore car ✅ New haircut ✅ Happy Bjorn✅

[@canadabeauvallon]

It seems like a high price, but it’s the kind of thing that would extend your ownership for a couple of years. Think of the car payments you avoid. Plus, it just looks amazing. The team that worked on this deserve serious respect for the quality of the work they did.

[@nicoleqte]

Not just did they do an amazing job - they can explain it in perfect English despite being in Norway. Did the boss there grow-up in the US?

[@batmann2o]

I would think so. He look like and really sounds like an American.

[@matsa85]

Most of Norwegians can speak pretty decent English. It's not like in France, Germany or Spain where everything on TV is dubbed.

[@NFree-Man]

@@matsa85 can't agree more (as a french from France) that we suck balls in English 😂 (lucky for me i'm not bad at all since my second language is English from US, thank to TV Show sub in eng)

[@oisiaa]

He sounds American, but I don't think he is. He at first said "corn" and then corrected himself to "grain". A native English speaker wouldn't mix up corn and grain. Very impressive though, because he sounds 99.9% American.

[@Republic3D]

He probably went to school in the US. Exchange student or similar.

[@sierrafoothillslife4246]

Another home run video from Bjorn. These guys do outstanding work. Very impressed with MFs return to glory. Looking forward to seeing MF back on the road and your test results.

[@allisterbullock213]

Outstanding restoration, good job guys!

[@charleyschaubroeck6301]

I actually did a 3 stage on my Tesla M3P (black paint) last weekend. Took me 13-14 hours for cleaning, compounding, polishing, priming and waxing. I can say I was completely broken for about 5-6 days. It’s hard work. But probably cost me 400-500 EUR for the DA polisher, pads and all products. But I can confirm. Totally worth it. My car also looks like a million bucks now 🙂

[@conradfuller6697]

I had to go back and watch the first episode again, what a massive improvement!

[@ericleszkowicz898]

I can’t believe that the difference can be seen that dramatically on camera. Amazing.

[@glacieractivity]

This makes me as emotional as when watching a working dog, having done hard work every day with muscle pains and stiffness in joints finally retired and let loose on a massive field for the years to come. Groomed - loved - able to walk, rest and jog off some of the stiffness in its adult muscles. Still being used and loved for casual and most demanding trips still, but not professionally. While getting more sofa-time. After a long excursion, the dog may take a bit longer to "recharge". It may not be as fast as it used to be. It may need a bit more attention and love and care compared to its peak years. While still being a wonderful companion for many years to come. Bouncing along with a cool new collar and leash, some added vitamins and senior food and great new shampoo for his fur. These are my actual emotions seeing my old long-haul hard-working youtube friend being pampered and restored. A bit reduced stamina. In need of slightly longer recharging/resting stops. But still being the same bouncy puppy up for every challenge. May not have the newest bells and whistles like self-driving of GPS-collar. But who needs that anyway in an old companion? Kudos to PitStop. It is wonderful to see what some love and care can do with a middle-aged thing that carries some battle scars from hard work over the years. I am saying this as a 50-year-old dude. (Maybe I should check what hairdressers are out of lockdown next week - maybe I can look young(er) and shinier too after a year of Covid by being handled by professionals?). It is really fun to watch this series. As such - Kudos to Mister Green too. This is a great way to show the potential of the colour green. Prolonging life is nothing to scoff at. We know early EV adaptors were (maybe still are) typically early adaptors. This means that they climb the tech ladder faster than most. Leaving in their wake last years mobile phone, computer, drone, EV (etc). Putting old MF back to its former glory demonstrates that while the technological forefront races away at the speed of Moore's law, just behind one find this huge wake of awesomeness at prices way more affordable than what will be absolute peak performance in 2022 (Millennium Falcons youngest brother soon to be born is called "Plaid+". For those that do not need the absolute quickest 1000 km travel time and those who do not need 300 km/h top speed, a working dog being given some love has lots of love to give back for many years. I am curious to see the Millennium Falcons 1000 km test after potential DC-charger kinks and all is sorted out. Like a retired dog, I know it will not be the fastest any longer. But as with an old dog-sledging Huskey taken out of competition, I am sure it will do the "1000" at a pace deserving of a nod.

[@jryan1024]

Kim has a little New York to his accent. Makes me feel at home as I grew up on Long Island.

[@jryan1024]

His accent is more Pearl River, NY.

[@kimisaksen5653]

Good guess! Oyster bay/bayville. But grew up mostly in the mid-hudson valley.

[@jryan1024]

@@kimisaksen5653 Great Neck for me. I used to ride my bicycle out on on Northern Blvd, likely near your house. My Brother-in-law is an actor on "Blue Bloods", grew up in Pearl River. Your accent reminds me of his. I love Norway. I have work colleagues there and it is an awesome country, except the wine monopoly Gestapo has to go..

[@georgepelton5645]

Very impressive! It is great to see Millennium Falcon restored so beautifully. They did an amazing job.

[@actuallypaulstanley]

No matter what car you buy, there are imperfections that a professional detailer will find and correct. You need a ceramic coating or PPF to protect that newly refreshed paintwork. Great work by the team.

[@heavymetalboi]

This is insane Bjørn, Looks so good now!

[@nakfan]

Amazing is an understatement...

[@palm2easy1]

Just Amazing. Thanks for sharing this before and after shots. the leather seats and steering wheels amazed me most

[@global_nomad.]

great job, makes you realise what a professional can achieve, worth the money

[@1975Chinook]

Millennium Falcon - You've been officially "overhauled". Congrats Bjørn. Awesome ride "old - not obsolete"

[@dmc7324]

Great to see something rejuvenated like this!

[@ReneNielsen72]

It looks really good now - they did a amazing job.

[@Dragehest]

the detailers English is amazing

[@northcountryman]

He sounds Canadian to me

[@joeh6632]

American because he says “out” not “oot”

[@northcountryman]

@@joeh6632 I am Canadian and I don't say oot. I pronounce it "owt"

[@northcountryman]

You can tell that he's not American because his shop isn't draped in the stars and stripes

[@joeh6632]

He’s wearing a MLB hat

[@mjmellock]

Well done! Incredible difference.

[@HansAaraas]

PitStop has Ditec treated two of my cars. They're the best 👍

[@kasmopaya2676]

Thank you very much MisterGreen! Millennium Falcon loves you now. (:

[@MMSaabChannel]

Such a fantastic job! Plus all the repairs! This is really an eye opener to getting and older model s.

[@dherrendoerfer]

Any beautiful car is even better when it's clean. Great job!

[@johnbullers8647]

It looks amazing! They did a great job.

[@Chrisb8s]

So beautiful. The classic model S is so perfect a design

[@hartfischer5509]

Wow, I was waiting for the results of the restore. Looks beautiful. $3500 is certainly not cheap. But the car looks like new. Fantastic:)

[@richardkule9384]

$ 4,100 U.S.D.

[@misteringo]

I love the auto-texting on this: Millennium Falcon! Melinda Falcón! Millionaire falcons! 🤣

[@danieltroger]

Middle the falcon

[@jonjoyce3188]

Congrats Bjorn, MF looks frickin great. It’s where it all began for you so must great feeling to have it back and looking so good! Superb content 👍

[@Aegean-Light]

Costs man! Give us the cost breakdown for ALL the restoration AND repairs!

[@CoolSilver]

Holy Guacamole is right. They did a fine job on Millennium Falcon. Even from old videos I don't remember the outside being so shiny. Thanks Mister Green. I hope you lease out many EVs and give them a new lease on life.

[@baercontact]

If i couöd i would teleport my car from Germany to u guys, there are quite a few skill imposters out there. Brilliant work!!!!

[@paullindberg6219]

Great video! Amazing work they have done! Fun to see what you can do with a old car.

[@patrickbohme6707]

love the sustainalbe thought about fixing it!

[@Stryford1]

Looks great! They did a great job. Getting the windows tinted would be one of the things I would do next.

[@michael22414]

Like you said probably pick a lower level package but $4100 for that work is incredible. I'm not sure I could ever get it for that price in California just based on labor costs, but it would be so much better to do this than pay $150 every couple months for 4-6 years for a wash. This work is incredible.

[@guilhermesilveira479]

Nice video watching from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦

[@nitramwin]

Would be amazing to come back to the restoration center for a second pass. Amazing what they've done!

[@colla555]

The steering wheel restoration is amazing

[@vreauacaunt]

Excelent job!

[@jor_R]

Wow Bjørn nice. MF looks great :-) Congrats. These guys at Pitstop Bilpleie are really awesome. They did an amazing job. They also did a Ditec Ceramic Ultra, Glass, Rims and tire and Leather protection on my TM3 LR and I am extremely satisfied. Looking forward to my car's 1st year check up with them this summer :-).They are really experts of what they do and they offer 9-year warranty on the protective effect of the treatment. I went to them last year because of Bjørn's earlier video of Optimus Prime getting a Ditec treatment at Pitstop Bilpleie. Thanks Bjørn :-)

[@paulwinter9672]

Amazing result.

Looks amazing.

I was skeptical after watching part 1 but they did an amazing job! Keep the car Bjorn, people want to know how Tesla's age.

Man what an amazing job i thought this couldn't be possíble Millennium Falcon looks like almost new excelent

[@teslaralf]

Looks like new. Great work and worth doing it.

[@geirrosset]

Gratulerer med ny bil. Gøy å se at MF ser ut som den fortjener igjen. Så deg på Posten i forrige uke og jeg har sett så mange av videoene dine at jeg hilste på deg som en jeg kjenner haha.

[@trance500r]

Looks like a new car beautiful 🤩

[@davidbryant2872]

One thing I noticed is how perfectly the chrome strips on the top of the door are aligned, compared to my car. Mine was more or less perfect until the left rear door handle was replaced, which required removal of he chrome trim at top of door (bottom of window). The mobile technician did a decent job of reinstalling it, but it is off just enough that now I notice it. Seeing this car makes me want to fix it. Not to mention that now I want to have my 5 year old paint cleaned up!

[@martinweston8147]

Awesome job, I do like their attitude, your like this looks amazing and they are like “well if we had more time it could have been better”, why do people do this when they sell a car? Do it when you buy it and then you will get to enjoy it 👍

[@RoaldHemel35]

Looks amazing!

[@christophernoble6810]

Super impressive. Almost looks like a new car. Just shows what can be done to bring a high mileage car back to life.

[@DouglasJMark]

Tesla's Model S designer Franz von Holzhausen doesn't get enough accolades for this car's shape. It's gorgeous, especially when restored (even the big black oval grill). The Model S and Tesla would not have been such a huge success if the car looked ugly. This design is a classic.

[@thinkabout602]

WOW Now that's what I call perfect recycling. Thanks for the great info 🥇

[@jderksen4]

Great look good to see a “ old” car this good

[@Trezker]

Looks super fresh.

[@smokyislay]

I watch your videos with closed captions and I really think that at this point you should just rename the car to Melinda Falcon. 😁

[@rkalla]

ROFL!!

[@gianlucamucciarelli8848]

Very professional job. Amazing! 👍🏻

[@corvus400]

I like those videos with explanation of how all those restauration processes been done. Do they stick Detec decal on all cars that been treated?

[@ulaulam]

Wow, what a difference 🤩👌

[@marcgirard7551]

Amazing job! I love this approach to repair rather than just treating perfectly good stuff like it’s disposable! I like that shit!

Professional detailers can make such a difference. I got my Model3 to a great detailer in The Netherlands (Ride and Shine). Paint corrected, the front has ppf and the whole car coated. It's best on a new car off course. The interior restore...wow, what a difference! In Bergen...are you gonna gat the flash storage replaced in the MCU as well?

[@luisag763]

[@and1111000]

An amazing job, how much did it cost?

[@Danne89]

I really dislike when car detailers put their company stickers or ditec badges on. It's fine for company cars, but as a normal customer that pays full price? No thanks!

[@bjornnyland]

I don't mind having the badge there. And Pit Stop Bilpleie always asks the customer before putting on the badge.

[@Danne89]

@@bjornnyland Sounds good Björn! Then they are doing it right! Lots of companies do not ask and when you pickup the car you have a nasty sticker on the inside of the windshield or rear window. Some are really hard to remove.

I'm at 120,000 miles on my 2013 S60 and debating on if I should upgrade to 90kwh battery thru Tesla. My battery and drive unit are almost out of warranty but I really like how the car rides and don't need to purchase another at this time.
