I give the same disclaimer for all accessories I install and review … Tesla will never give you an absolute guarantee that a third party product will not void your warranty so install at your own risk. However having said that I’ve never had Tesla ever question or mention any accessories that I’ve installed in my many years of ownership.

@@LudicrousFeed thanks Tom, this was basically my thought as well. Since enhauto can do other spicy things like drift mode, I wonder if Tesla will ever make their cars phone home to rat out the owner.
Nice video. Just need an indicator stalk for the Model 3s. Can the buttons be set as D-P-R? I'd set P as long press for neutral. I'd definitely install an indicator stalk, but D-P-R, i would probably just use the screen, not like you need to change them while moving.
I just purchased a "Y" and while I think the car is incredible, I've been muttering to myself about the "ludicrous" lengths Tesla went to try to implement everything via 1 screen. The center screen's sole purpose was cost-cutting. IMO some functions would be great to access by a knob/dial./button. Coming from a BMW I'm used to using dials. and buttons because BMW's voice response was so darn slow it was annoying, and mechanical interfaces were faster. I'd like to be able to change things I use frequently, and Tesla's implementation of some things seems to me be totally counter to Tesla's safe car image, The left scroll button on the steering when can be "programmed to some extent, but Tesla's implementation was poorly executed. One of the things I found very useful while driving BMWs was being able t change driving modes with a slider. and step up the car's acceleration in anticipation of need. I have no issues with Tesla's "chill" mode when cruising around, but there are times that I think it's a lot safer to have faster response available even if it isn't required. Example: on-ramp merge to a highway comes to mind immediately. Tesla's cost-saving implementation using the left thumb wheel is clumsy at best. I have concerns over Tesla voiding a new car warranty, but this is what Tesla should have implemented or at least made available as an option. I'd order it now if I knew Tesla wouldn't use a mod like this to void the warranty. This product would make my life a lot easier., especially having a very dominant left hand My right hand was useful in controlling the throttle on planes and shifting manual transmissions, but not much more
The S3XY knob and buttons are fully customisable which make them a great companion for those who want quick access to controls that may be hidden amongst the infotainment screen settings. There’s actually a section about Tesla warranty in the product website FAQ: I suggest reading it for more info. I’ve installed many accessories in the Teslas I’ve owned over the years and not once have they questioned them. Hope this helps 🙏
Let's say I set regen to 50%, get out the car (go shopping or whatever), then return and drive off, will it still be at 50%? or will it set to any kind of default percentage?
@@tomolomox889 According to Enhance Auto’s blog on this topic, it resets itself to the default setting with each drive: enhauto.com/blog/article/regeneration-features-with-s3xy-buttons
I’m not aware of any nag removal feature however I’ve seen users configure a “continuous autopilot” feature whereby after a lane change the car will auto re-enable AP if deemed safe to do ao
I just plug the commander into the rear CanBus port. The knob will plug into one of the USB C ports in the centre console (for Model Y and older Model 3)
Hi Tom, would love your honest opinion with the S3xy knob in regards to adjusting regen down. I’ve wanted a Tesla for a while now but the regen is just to strong for me and I’ve tried through borrow a friends car to get use to it but it’s not for me. Does the adjusting the regen down to 25% and zero actually make a difference in the Tesla would love your honest view as this could be the answer to finally getting a Tesla for me
@@LudicrousFeed hi Tom, just about to place an order for a new 3, just wanted to check so if you use S3xy knob and set regen to of or zero you definitely don’t feel any regen in the Tesla? Because it’s pretty aggressive so want to know it def has the capability to turn it off.
What a fantastic product. Thanks Tom. What does it cost? Would be better if Tesla would just build something like this in. Could still keep things minimalist with a multi functional unit like that.
Not that I can see in the app ... but as a customer/owner, that could be provided as feedback given many of the current features seen is a result of constructive consultation with customers

Hey Tom, how is the S3xy knobs going? Got a Y on order and also a s3xy knob as I wanted it to adjust regen. You finding it good to use the features?
@@shannanbateup3039 It’s going well, handy for regen braking adjustment
I own SE3Y knob. I love it. Money wise, ridiculously delivery high price tag. Double the cost shipping to Australia
Shame but glad you’re happy with it 👍
The Knob looks awesome Tom!!! Thank you for showing this, looks very easy to install too. But for $509 plus delivery isn't cheap. 😞
Yeah it’s a great product! But yes quality comes at a price

Good footage considering the tricky filimng conditions.
Thanks for pitching the instruction at a level that suits me, i.e. a techincal numpty.

I'm interesting in knowing about the warranty implications for the enhauto devices... For people on leases is quite an important factor.

Enhance has said they are developing indicator stalk.
The stalk is coming … also many of the customisable features are from customer feedback. Great to see Enhance listening to Tesla owners 👍
Looks like a really good product but too costly for me even before you add shipping.
It’s one of the better after market Tesla products out there 👍

Tom, The knob is on pre-order now? when do you think the delivery going to happen?
I believe they are made in batches … and will be delivered when produced. I don’t have ETA sorry
If you order it next week, you will get it around middle of May :)
How does it work with autopilot does it remove the nag? How is this setup?

Still waiting for mine, Really after some of the smart actions of the commander unit
Yes seems quite useful 🏆
Can this controller the passenger seat position?
Sadly not but that is an awesome suggestion 👍
Why do I not need power cable if I use the rear method?
I just plug the commander into the rear CanBus port. The knob will plug into one of the USB C ports in the centre console (for Model Y and older Model 3)

Can you use the buttons to change the gear?
Yes you can programme the buttons to do this via the app
An option for car wash mode would be amazing.
That would actually be quite good!
Im just hoping they release the s3xy stalk soon. They previewed the lat last year.
I’ll keep our viewers informed when it’s released
Is it able to adjust direction of air?
Not that I can see in the app ... but as a customer/owner, that could be provided as feedback given many of the current features seen is a result of constructive consultation with customers
Do the buttons have any water resistance, for spilt coffee?
Just checked with the manufacturer: no water resistance rating
Great video. Can i install this with seperate mood lights and a rear screen?does it have enough connections
You may be able to daisy chain …
Lots of choice these days for these canbus intercept products.
Teslogic, SE3Y buttons/knob, Scanmytesla (although more a data tool).. Spoilt for choice!
Yup! The CanBus port is relatively easy to access 👍
@LudicrousFeed both are easy,, especially the one behind the center console. I notice Teslogic have an adapter so you can plug in two devices at once.
Do you know if the Highland Model 3 still has that rear CANbus connector below the vents?
Hmm the enhance auto website recommends installing it at the front right side pillar …
I just want someone to invent a rain sensor that can interface with the can-bus
That’d be good
I assume this invalidates your Tesla warranty?
Not at all. See the explainer in the FAQ of the Enhance Auto website. Also I’ve installed many accessories in my Teslas over the years without any issues from Service
Tesla removes buttons and stalks and then you have to pay to add them back!

@@johnhedge1429don't see how it would interfere in anyway with the SW. It's not coding or flashing anything.

It’s in keeping with the rest of the car though … at first glance it looks relatively integrated 🙏
