Conclusion is great! Car journalists complain for nothing (after 2h test drive) compared with Bjorn who already drove it for thousands km. Yes plastics are cheap & infotainment still buggy (even though it will improve) but who cares when so many things are soooo positive and you can drive to arctic circle fast, safe & comfortably.
The Model 3 software was buggy too, in mid 2017. They absolutely should keep upgrading it, and adding features, like a strong regen for one pedal driving. I loved it when Tesla added the option where the car would come to a full stop if you took your foot off the accelerator. Here is my conclusion. It's no Tesla killer, but it's no slouch. People who get one won't want their gas or diesel cars back.
@@fjalics well...any cars that claimed to be a "Tesla Killers" were all some super dubious crappy startup that spend more on marketing than anything else. The ID3 is just a normal very decent electric car.
I just can’t understand why so many car manufacturers decide to use extremely slow cpu in their infotainment system just to save 10euro on a 50k car. I tried Volvo xc40 and the infotainment system was extremely slow and laggy.
@@LpG88 They want the HW to consume as little power as possible so it's kinda understandable. There are already a lot of 12 V battery problems with different EVs.
I watch all the livestreams and enjoy them so much. Getting this follow-up perspective is unique, entertaining, and interesting in its own way. Bjørn, thank you for taking the time to do both. The perspectives outside the car that we don't hear on the livestream are fun to see after the fact. Great work!!!
Absolutely love the format of these trips! I wished I had more time to follow the live stream... Don’t allow skipping the food part, that’s part of the challenge too afterall! ^^
You have inspired me with your trips across all that incredible landscape. Not a country I would have put on my list. Now it is on my list of things to do. It will have to be in a petrol car and take several days, but definitely a road trip t do. Thank you for showing us the countryside.
Bjorn I've just found your channel and I just cant stop watching! The scenery in Norway is just incredible. I look forward to watching more road trips over the winter. Cant wait to get an MC Hammer of my own one day!
I recently had back to back test drives in a Tesla Model 3 Long range and a VW iD 3 First Edition (58kw). The Tesla certainly has the technology, infotainment and the looks. Acceleration performance was simply mind blowing, so much so that one particular overtake was so fast i felt nauseated! Couple that with the very firm suspension and 19 inch sports wheels I got the feeling that as a long distances were not as comfortable or cosseted as those in the VW ID3. For me at least on those test drives, the VW wins hands down for comfort, quietness and ease of driving. As an every day car, the VW seemed the most comfortable, would anyone else agree with that?
I see your point and respect your choice, but considering the overwhelming Tesla superiority in all fronts, not to forget the crash test at which Tesla was rated as the safest in the world. But I do not understand the rationale behind your choice. Are you sure you have been fully informed of the incredible conveniences offered by Tesla?
@@sat7755 I am fully aware of Tesla’s vehicles incredible abilities, including the MS, MX and M3 being rated as the three safest cars ever tested by the NHTSA. I am both a shareholder and a Cybertruck multiple reservation holder and have been driving electric cars exclusively since 2013. I was testing a Model 3 LR with a view to purchase when the opportunity arose for me to complete back to back test drives with the Tesla and the VWiD3 I jumped at the opportunity. I drove the same route for both vehicles on quite poorly maintained, rural bumpy roads and upon completion was shocked at how much more comfortable and relaxing the VW was to drive. I travel at least 20,000 miles a year for work, so safety is or the utmost importance to me, but I’m amazed at just how comfortable the VW was in an immediate back to back comparison. Yes, the Tesla wins on almost every other metric including range, infotainment, performance, handling, looks, crash safety, acceleration, power seat adjustability, etc etc. I’m still a bit shocked at how good the VW was, I just wondered if anyone had a similar experience as I have?
@@batandball617 I had not all the extensive experience you had. For me it was just enough to look at the crumpled VW ID3 its cheap interior and the price that left me shocked. At $25.000 the VW could be considered a fair deal , but up to a model 3 price, if I had bought one I would have felt robed. But I will not criticize your perceived motive for buying the over priced and under performing VW, for that is another privilege to live in a free world. Good luck to you, and thanks for satisfying my curiosity.
Nope, it is called STOP NOW button, not "push me and ask me again and then stop" button. ;-) Kind of an urgent button. But there should be prominent audible and visual cue so you notice when you push it.
I love those matrix headlights, so impressed about how they adapt to the road and cars around, overall its an amazing car and if everything goes as planned i will have an id3 plus next week
Taking the Classic Ioniq to the Polar Circle is a great idea ! It will show the advantage of the fast charging speed and efficiency despite battery size. Can't wait for that video 😀
Ja! Take the trip with the classic Ioniq :) It's still on top of my list for our family ev. Or maybe the MG if it becomes available in Germany. Or maybe consider the ID.3? I would also love to watch you take the trip with the e+ Leaf, but i guess it would be to painful
The funniest part of the video is when you say winter is coming and is not got for road trip ! You did a lot of road trip in winter , it is not a problem for you ! Continu your excellent work ! I keep following you !
Interesting music. The beat is like a steam train. It gives the illusion that the ID3 is under mechanical power. & thanks for the window shade reference.
Love getting notifications about charging interruptions. I know immediately if someone has messed with my car so I don't waste time thinking it's charging while it's not. Plus the cameras will see who did it if it is a person that interrupted charging.
Thank you for the video! Great music! I wonder how the back wheel drive and the slowish charging in Norwegian winter is going to affect this car. It would be nice if you could do a winter test of this car in January :)
As I've just discovered your channel, I'd like to say that it is awesome. I'm watching from home - Brazil - and I'm just wondering how our realities are different. The driving conditions and the type of car you have there. It has been about more than 10 years that I have not put petrol / gasoline in the cars that I have / had. I only put ethanol since it is cheaper, but the consumption is higher than with gasoline or any mixture in it. Speaking about Norways, I would still like to do a road trip over there. I've only been there to do the touristic stuff. But I've already did some great road trip in Europe and North America :) I wonder if someday I will be able to do it in an electric car...
Nice review and excellent videos! I drive a 2014 i3 Bev with only level 2 charging and thanks to your videos I’m learning more about what to look for in a future EV. If the I.D.3 was available in the U.S. it would be a my first choice. Considering the 2021 i3s. Thanks.
I know there can be a problem in winter with the forward facing seal on the Kona charge port, but when charging it’s easy to park in the required lines !
The video was great. Thanks for the content. Some feedback: half way through the video I got pretty annoyed by advertisements every three minutes. That seems a bit excessive.
"From the outside it looks normal, but - it is a damn good car. It's...more than meets the eye. This car? We should put yellow wrap on it and call it the Bumblebee. Yeeah. Bumblebee." Some VW marketing guy watching this: "...Whoa."
Short feedback: love the trip and scenery. 👍🏻 Maybe you could include some drive by videos and arrival shots at the charger, like you did in the old days.
@@bjornnyland you need a drone that would solve this issue as you could put it on follow me treat yourself this christmas to a DJI drone the small one is under 250 grams so you don't need a licence to fly one ..... and thank you yet again for all the videos you are a top banana ps if you could test the new Toyota rav4 prime when it comes out that would be fantastic as not everyone is as lucky as you to live in norway with a fantastic rapid charging networks unfortunately in england the rapid charging network is not as good
Most concern is more in rest of EU where we have many more roads than few highways all equiped with loading stations like in Norway. Then a country side road trip or long distance drive can be more complicated or chaotic if no big battery or Tesla superchargeur good network. In the end almost all cars with 50+kw do the job but they require different planning when driving more than 200km one way.
Test Drove this car Around Averøya, (atlantic road, the bridges) I love this car, its perfect for me and my use. Its a Hybrid A to B car or Long distance driving. And to bhe honest, not the worst price for its ability.
@@majklson15 that is not true, it has low voltage only 350 to 375, on 50kw chargers it will only get 42, 43 kw and only to 73% on HPC's only 73 kw to 54%. It will be alot slower.
ABRP: ID3: 13h 41min 126 min charging Kona: 13h 45min 131 min charging ID3 is actually faster than Kona. The reason for it is because ID3 charges faster than Kona on HPC. And it uses a little less energy than Kona. And on 50 kW fast chargers, ID3 can average 48-49 kW flat to 80 % because of higher pack voltage. Whereas Kona starts around 42 kW and goes slowly towards 48 kW because of lower pack voltage. And Kona also starts throttling at around 75 %.
You put the cheese on the rich mans side of the sandwich ;) The more bumpy side of the sandwich requires more butter, cheese etc when you spread it so it's more expensive. That's how poor we are ;) or at least was once up a time /A Swede
That bug with departure time is not a new thing. It started with the last version of Passat gte and is terrible. They should rename it to we disconnect! It has been an issue for ages. Pre-heating only randomly.
I care about the hard plastic beneath the windows. My arm always rest there. Don't care about squishy dashboards or other parts, but where I want to rest my arms it should be soft. Never understood why VW has this part so seldomly soft.
I allways enjoy your videos, Björn. Not only bcause of the EV testings, also because I watching the landscapes on your road tripps. It is a little bit like Tour de France for me. lol One question. Why do you often uses german words? For me it's interesting, because i am german. :D
I need help! I am going to make a 220km drive to a location next week with my e-Golf and I cant seem to make "a better routeplanner" work. The place where im going does NOT have any kind of charging port. I am afraid to come there with low battery. I dont want to be screwed. is there a way to calculate a retour? From going A to B and back? Without having any charge options at location B.
I just did about 300km yesterday with the egolf. It really isn't as painful as I thought first in regard to rapid gating. Anyway, I recommend you to change in the settings the percentage value you want to arrive with (arrival SoC). Another workaround would be to add a waypoint nearby your start point as the destination. That way it calculates the whole trip as one route. Waypoint 1: Start city, street xy Waypoint 2: destination city Waypoint 3: Startcity, Street yx
I actually slept one night in a Toyota Yaris, and it wasn't too bad. I turned the backrests of the front seats all the way forwards, it doesn't look like you did that with the ID.3, maybe it can't be done?
Anyone have news if the VW IDs will get working climate control options for when parked, like Tesla's Dog and Camping modes, as a software update? I am leaning towards buying an ID 4 over a Tesla, but if I can't keep the interior a constant temperature for hours at a time while parked, it will be a deal breaker for me.
+1 for 28kWh ioniq, even better with the guy's car with tow hitch. You might be away for a while though so I understand if that’s too long especially in winter. Maybe proper camping with Wifee next year?

Hi. Is it possible to put camera outside of car somehow? i just watched Itchy Boots motorcycle-girl video to Nordkapp. Very good RUclips clip and very good picture quality. Recomended to watch...
I'm sorry if it was mentioned in this or pt. 1 ... but how long did it take the ID3 to do the trip up north? ... A few videos ago my guess was 14hrs and 15 mins due to poor weather on day 1 (faster than the Polestar2 but slower than the Tesla M3) ... it didn't end up being that bad for the second half of day 1, so maybe a bit quicker? EDIT: this car did climb up my shortlist for sure ... still don't like the looks or the infortainment area (or VW/German cars in general) ... but yeah, the trip was impressive.
@@bjornnyland I did the other day ... but I see where I made the mistake in calculating journey time, I thought the time was to the Polar Circle (+45 mins + charging time from the end of pt 1), not the Mo i Rana charger itself.
You can pull the passenger seat forward and then recline the back completely, that will give you about 8ft of flat surface to sleep on. I wonder why you didn't try it.
Thanks for the video. Is that a better route planner basic or paid for ? As I’ve tried to plot 3 different journeys with the free version and had silly suggestions like change for one minute and on two separate journeys it suggested it change to say 60% then arrive with 0% ! Also arrive at destination with 2% that’s just bad advice in my opinion you should not arrive charger at less than 10% in my opinion with uks crap charger network reliability ! And bad for the battery . Anyone know how to set it up not to be so stupid took ,me ages to try and get to avoid Ionty but wish it was like zap map gave you choice of 3-5 charges within 5 or so miles near Selected stop . If I’m going to pay for it , it needs to be lot smarter . Need help setting it up for Zoe ze50 please thanks

Wait for the ID4 to be launched in Germany. It will be slightly better than ID3 and will be better than MG and ioniq.
The scenery looked a lot like driving through the Scottish Highlands. Though the trees are more often evergreens here.
As always very good and nice videos. Had the opportunity to try ID3 myself and it will be a great success for Volkswagen.
Great point - you don't need 300 mile range in your EV. It is the balance of charging speed and range that matters

Anyone have news if the VW IDs will get working climate control options for when parked, like Tesla's Dog and Camping modes, as a software update? I am leaning towards buying an ID 4 over a Tesla, but if I can't keep the interior a constant temperature for hours at a time while parked, it will be a deal breaker for me.
I hate to say this, but VW might just have nailed it with the ID range.
Björn, you should have driven all the way up to Nordkapp as you were already at arctic circle.
You are aware that it's another 1050 km from Arctic Circle to North Cape, right?
+1 for 28kWh ioniq, even better with the guy's car with tow hitch. You might be away for a while though so I understand if that’s too long especially in winter. Maybe proper camping with Wifee next year?
No, already explained in part 1 why not.
Difficult for me to choose between id 3 and Hyundai Kona. Id3 has rw drive and Kona Is bigger and have better interior.
Id4 is the one for you i think better than Kona. Or check out skoda enyaq
Have you done id4 for us in the states who won't be getting the id3?
AHAH, the leaves are falling. Poor Nissan. Winter is coming for them
Anyone else watcching to see if Noraly from Itchy Boots happens to cross paths? Both were up there almost at the same time.
How long does the HVAC stay on if you enable the "Keep climate on" option?
30 minutes
En runde med kolonnekjøring over Haukeli eller tilsvarende hadde vært fint for å sette søkelys på komfort i en moderne elbil når været utenfor går åt skogen.

maybe the heating/cooling works like my Bmw i3. 2 times start,then you must start the car to get 2 more times? Great trip-vid!
How does it compare to Kia e niro?
It is compact , Tesla is d class , wait for id4 , q4 etron and my lovely Skoda
Polarbröd with some leverpastej is
Hi. Is it possible to put camera outside of car somehow? i just watched Itchy Boots motorcycle-girl video to Nordkapp. Very good RUclips clip and very good picture quality. Recomended to watch...
No
I'm sorry if it was mentioned in this or pt. 1 ... but how long did it take the ID3 to do the trip up north? ... A few videos ago my guess was 14hrs and 15 mins due to poor weather on day 1 (faster than the Polestar2 but slower than the Tesla M3) ... it didn't end up being that bad for the second half of day 1, so maybe a bit quicker?
EDIT: this car did climb up my shortlist for sure ... still don't like the looks or the infortainment area (or VW/German cars in general) ... but yeah, the trip was impressive.
Watch part 1.
@@bjornnyland I did the other day ... but I see where I made the mistake in calculating journey time, I thought the time was to the Polar Circle (+45 mins + charging time from the end of pt 1), not the Mo i Rana charger itself.
Which specs come with the heat pump as standard? UK buyer
Now imagine the bigger battery! It will be the same as a Tesla!
Nope, it will probably be about 30-45 minutes slower than Tesla still.
You can pull the passenger seat forward and then recline the back completely, that will give you about 8ft of flat surface to sleep on. I wonder why you didn't try it.
I know about it and I also mentioned it. The problem is that I had to bring something to support the open hole it creates.
oh yes do it with OG ioniq please!!!!!
8:18 it's supposed to be Reke - Bindestrich - Ost
Thanks for the video. Is that a better route planner basic or paid for ? As I’ve tried to plot 3 different journeys with the free version and had silly suggestions like change for one minute and on two separate journeys it suggested it change to say 60% then arrive with 0% ! Also arrive at destination with 2% that’s just bad advice in my opinion you should not arrive charger at less than 10% in my opinion with uks crap charger network reliability ! And bad for the battery . Anyone know how to set it up not to be so stupid took ,me ages to try and get to avoid Ionty but wish it was like zap map gave you choice of 3-5 charges within 5 or so miles near Selected stop . If I’m going to pay for it , it needs to be lot smarter . Need help setting it up for Zoe ze50 please thanks
Basic works fine. But premium has more features.
What about a test of the 2020 kia soul?
