Bjørn Nyland a.k.a Teslabjørn [1] (born in Thailand on July 29, 1979,[2] living in Norway since age of 4) is a Norwegian YouTuber posting videos in English and Thai language.
Formerly a programmer at the University of Oslo, Nyland started on YouTube channel in 2010 with a video showing an onboard ride in a Renault Laguna Diesel doing 200 km/h (125 mph) on a German Autobahn without speed limit. In May 2013, he test drove a Tesla Model S, posting his YT video in Norwegian language with English subtitles.[3] His own Tesla Model S P85 was delivered in November 2013, and he filmed a road trip across Norway in winter weather.[4] EVs became very popular in Norway, and due to his videos about his Tesla and other electric cars, his channel became popular among EV enthusiasts. He tests many EVs in his "1000km challenge" and is known for sleeping in very cold nights in electric cars, and for using banana boxes to measure the size of trunks.
24h EV world records in Germany[edit]
With legal speeds well over 120 kph (75 mph) on public roads and fast charging networks, Tesla Superchargers and third party Combined Charging System (CCS) fast chargers, long distance speed records can be set with EVs in Germany, driving at speeds well over 160 km/h (100 mph) to achieve average speeds of over 100 km/h (62 mph) including charging stops.
After German Youtuber Horst Lüning (de:Horst Lüning) and his son have covered 2,424 km[5] within 24 hours in a Model S on Bundesautobahn 8 near Ulm to the west of Munich in June 2016, Lüning in 2018 joined an Austrian G-Electric team that used a US-import Tesla Model 3 with a special charging port adaptor to improve the record to 2,644 km.[6]
In July 2019, after Tesla finally delivered European-spec Model 3 with CCS connector, Nyland was part of a team that set the new record at 2,781 km (1,728 mi) in 24 hours in a Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD. Nyland set this record using the IONITY 350 kW quick chargers Demminer Land[7] at Bundesautobahn 20 to the north of Berlin because currently, that network is significantly faster than Tesla’s Superchargers (v2).[8][9] An additional benefit is that the Ionity network is situated directly at the official Autobahn rest areas, so less time is needed to get off and on, compared to Tesla SUCs which are situated at exits and can be accessed from both directions.
Winner of four Teslas[edit]
After ten Tesla customers used his referral code, he in October 2015 won a Founders Series Tesla Model X[10] he named "Optimus Prime". He used his Model X to create his most popular videos, "Tesla Model X doors crushing things", "Tesla Model X vs Hummer H2 tug of war", "Tesla Model X off-roading gone wrong!". By the end of 2015, he won the second European referral contest, and a free Tesla Model S P90D Ludicrous which was delivered as a P100DL and sold to pay for the taxes for his Model X. By 2019, he won two[11] future Tesla Roadsters.
Personal life[edit]
Nyland has a Thai wifey called Ammery.[12][13] They also own a white chihuahua called Dolly they bought in 2017.[14]
In March 2021, he published videos documenting him suffering from COVID-19.
