@@brandenflasch thank you my dad sold it to me. Took a week because he was kinda up in the air about full self driving but Wednesday he said it's a little more money than I'd like but a better deal then not having self driving added. But my first full day of owning a tesla omg one foot driving is crazy but I'm getting used and comfortable with the speed now. Yesterday the car felt like it fast but today it doesn't feel fast it feels normal lol. How long did it take to get used to for you?
@@brandenflasch ok thx it's kinda creepy too I added my dad to my tesla 🚗🔌🔋as a driver though he's a car dealer man he loves my car 🚘 lol 😂 he's driven it quite a few times yesterday! And I'm looking into tesla insurance too!
I just realized how much I follow your advice. I have the same floor mats, cup holder insert, screen protector, wire pass thru, etc. Crazy but they are great products!! Thank you.
Pucks. I got a set before my car arrived, and they sit in the frunk along with a 12v air compressor and tire gauge. I recently got a new set of tires (Nokia ONE) at America’s Tire. When I set up the appointment, I specifically asked if they had the pucks. “Yes,” was their reply. On the day of the appointment, I watched as they pulled my car in. They pulled over four floor jacks. Then the techs sort of looked lost. Someone brought over four large pieces of high density foam to my car. That is when I went in the service bay and asked, “Do you have the pucks you need for this car?” “No.” “I have them. You can use my set.” Crisis averted. The install went great. I’ve got about 500 miles in the tires (err, tyres) and they are great. And I’m really glad I had that set of pucks.
@@brandenflasch At 68 years of age, I’ve changed many a flats, young man. But EVERYBODY (except you) that I’ve seen discuss changing a tire in a Tesla has stressed the necessity of pucks.
I use this and it’s awesome as well. Uxcer Car Armrest Box Cover & Center Console Wrap Kit for Tesla Model 3/Y 2023 2022 2021, PU Leather Center Console Armrest Protector Covers for Tesla Interior Accessories (White)
I agree with you about disliking wireless charging pads. They don't efficiently charge the phone and heat up the battery, reducing phone battery life. Takes 2 secs to plug in a USB-C cable to my Galaxy S23.
I went with the Lasfit mats for my Austin TX built '24 Model Y long range. Got the complete set with cargo mats and frunk and rear lower compartment mats for $179. The 3DMax mats have been crazy priced recently. I've found the cargo cover works quite well if you push up slightly on the rear of it to get it to slide down behind the rear seat backs.
I don’t yet have a MY, but I appreciate your comments about the underdash lights and those for under the doors. How about an aftermarket display that can be mounted in front of the driver? I know I will be buying a used MY so I won’t be worried about voiding any warranty.
Thanks for the tips, Branden. Note that the Tesla Mobile Charger now also comes with the NEMA 14-50 Adapter. Maybe your kit is older and did not included the 14-50 adapter. I also keep in my Model Y the Tesla Gen 2 NEMA Adapter set, a kit that I suspect you already know about. For those who don't know, this additional kit has 8 NEMA adapters, 2 of which duplicate the 5-15 and 14-50 adapters that are included with the mobile charger, and 6 additional NEMA adapters. All of the adapters in this kit work with the mobile charger kit. Are these additional adapters useful? Who can say. I just like having all of the options in that off chance that I'll need them.
I love the phone mount and power cable recommendation! I use them for my Uniden R8 ant they are perfect. i was considering a blend mount but i like the radar detector location on top of the screen much better than under the mirror . Thanks!
Comment on the referral program. Like you said, Tesla may change at any time... and they did. They reduced it from $500 to $250 overnight. I was lucky enough to pull the trigger earlier this week.
awesome video. How hard is it to take care of that beautiful wrap? Which one is that? Looks killer. Awesome choice!! I want to wrap ours, but I usually just run through car washes, they say not to with these wraps.
The grill insert on paper sounds good, but tesla specifically made it's design based on wind efficiency and drag. The grill alters the wind flow tremendously
Brandon, how did you get the blue circle with BF on the touch screen in your Model Y by the your profile name. A video on the S3XY would be very interesting.
Here's a video idea: Assess the effect of a chin spoiler on range. ICE cars are so inefficient that the drag coefficient is not so critical, and adding spoilers, light bars, or a roof rack is not as noticeable. On FB pages, people marvel at the look of chin spoilers, but nobody has numbers on the impact on range. Knowing how much effort Tesla puts in to keep drag low, I think some folks are in for a surprise.
@@brandenflasch Yes, if engineered properly. But some could be engineered to prioritize downforce. Some may not be engineered and tested at all (cosmetic only). Overall, I would expect Tesla to have already included features that can reduce drag. I realize Tesla is also focused on practicality, like clearing the curb.
You should hardwire your radar detector into the wires near the passenger foot. Well here. It comes on automatically and turns off automatically. I’m surprised you didn’t do something like that.

And you should also have the automatic frunk opener and closer. And why would you have to open your rear door to open the charge port that’s like doing double the work and now you have to shut the door. It makes no sense to me.
Hey Branden, loved the video and have just subscribed to the channel, I am a new Tesla owner. You mention that you have programmed the trunk and/or frunk to open when you hold the rear door handle in. How do you do this exactly ?
Branden, did you use any ceramic coating on the white interior? We pick up our first Tesla, Model 3 RWD on Sunday (thanks for the referral code!) and would like to protect the white seats as soon as possible.
@@brandenflasch - Thanks Branden. I need to stop watching your channel. Spending a bunch on accessories and haven't even picked up the car yet! (Just kidding, keep up the reviews, saves me time on extensive research!)

Pucks are completely unnecessary
@@brandenflasch Really? Tell me more!
You simply don’t need them if you know how to lift a car properly

Of course they change it in the overnight between recording the video and posting it 😅 glad I said that disclaimer
Some great things to get for my X.
awesome video. How hard is it to take care of that beautiful wrap? Which one is that? Looks killer. Awesome choice!! I want to wrap ours, but I usually just run through car washes, they say not to with these wraps.
I occasionally hand wash but otherwise use touchless washes a few times per week
Model y 7 seat, rear cargo mats need to cover 3rd row armrest or separate covers

Tremendously? Based on what?
Brandon, how did you get the blue circle with BF on the touch screen in your Model Y by the your profile name. A video on the S3XY would be very interesting.
Add a pic to your Tesla account on the Tesla app
Interesting I did add a picture in the app but it doesn’t show up in the car. @@brandenflasch
How did you program the shortcuts for the door handles?
Use the S3XY Buttons app

How do you do this exactly ?
I did it using S3XY buttons - linked in the description
How is the range affected with those wheel covers?
I have a whole video testing this
What is going on with the back of your steering wheel? 9:52
What do you mean?
@@brandenflasch at the time stamp it looks like there is a gash.
@SherwoodTaz seems fine to me
@@brandenflaschthere's a big rip near the sexy button on the back of the steering wheel

How much should xpel PPF full front cost, realistically?
Probably around $3k
Very nice, thnks

How do you use S3XY buttons and get OBD data on a tablet?
You can use the S3XY button commander for it, but I use a CANserver
@@brandenflasch Thanks. If more are interested, I wouldn't mind a video on how to set that up.
Love the video and those are cool things but Fxck lol. Too many things. The reason I bought a Tesla was because it was basic and minimal.
