It is my third language.
Bjorn said he wants to make a living with his videos, so I am criticizing them as if they were made by a pro. I am not sure everybody, outside of his fans here, will cut him as much slack as you do. My guess is that to appeal to a larger audience, he will have to make improvements to his videos, and if we do not criticize his work, we are not really helping.
You're English is excellent, which I respect, but people have varying levels of talent at picking up languages. I suspect my mild dyslexia plays hell at my ability to pick up other languages. It manifests in different ways in different people. I've never had much problem reading, but it took a lot of effort to get my writing skills in English up to the average level they are today. I also have bouts of aphasia which is part of dyslexia for some. I struggle to remember common words, even though I have the concept fully formed in my head. Adding new words for the same concept just adds to the chaos when it happens.
It may be just me, but if I'm going to offer even constructive criticism to someone, I'm much more likely to offer it privately. I don't like airing people's failings publicly.

I've formally studied three foreign languages, one in high school and two in college, but the only one that I can speak without messing up too much is my native English. I've met people who have great proficiency in picking up languages -- that is just something that my brain is not wired to do. How any language can have more than one word for "the" baffles me, and I'll never be able to keep straight which "the" goes with which noun. I'm impressed with how good his English is. German is probably my next-best language, and I know I don't speak that anywhere near as well as he speaks English.
Hi Freudianly, could you please elaborate some samples about their mistakes they made in the video? As a non-native English speaker, I especially watched that parking video over again to see the grammar mistakes they made, yet could not found any? Perhaps you might enlighten us about that plural/singular mistake.. thanks in advance..
Also, Freudianly, can you tell us where you learned English? I see you are in Europe but based on your posts, it looks like you learned American English. Did you learn English in the United States?
Hi Bjørn,
I love your videos. Can I suggest you a new one you could make?
"Model S roadtrip compilation".
This would be a short video (3 min) with all the roadtrips you made so far. Just the title of the trip, the map with statistics (the same you are already showing in your videos) and few seconds of driving video to show road and weather conditions.
I think many would like to see the statistics of your roadtrips all in one short video and that would be also a good video to show to skeptics that complain about real life range, consumption and so on.

What do you think?
I measured 4 % degradation after 1 year/100k km/60k mi. That's not too bad considering that I drive 4-5 times more than most people. So in reality the battery should after 8-10 years of normal driving still have over 80 % capacity.
Good suggestion
I think Jørgen's English and accent is very good. I appreciate feedback on mistakes.

No need to invite anyone. I'm allergic to pollen. Bioweapon defense mode is one of the coolest feature on the X. I will use it a lot when driving behind Schmutzig Volkswagen and other old diesel cars. Just today we drove behind a queue of cars and one of them was stinky. Eventually we found out it was a Passat. Even my wife complained about the smell.
I seem to vaguely remember you mentioned it in a recent video. Imagine how many Model X that could sell if this new feature really betters your life ! And how many more if you did a video in Chinese with the help of a relative !
I wonder if Elon could ship your Model X in a cargo plane for Xmas so that we all could get a Bjorn Model X video as a Xmas present.
Anyway, nice to see the stress on your face has been replaced by a happy smile !
P.S.: there is a thread to celebrate the fact that you officially won the Model X:
It's official, Bjørn won the Model X for Europe!

Bjorn: So excited you & wifey will explore America some when you come to the Gigafactory Grand Opening! You know wherever you go here you will have a crowd who will drive almost anywhere to meet you!
I can't imagine why anyone would complain about Bjørn's English skills.
