    I've been using Enhance's product called the Knob for the past few weeks, and it's a fantastic addition to my "Y." The software and hardware work seamlessly, and as you pointed out, updates to the product are available via OTA. Enhance Auto's customer support has been fantastic. Let's face it; Tesla designed the center screen for cost-saving reasons, and contrary to what Mr. Musk says, No part isn't always the best part. I'd rather press a button and play with a screen at high speeds. Yes, Tesla has voice commands, which aren't very well documented, and the voice commands don't work on every object available on the center screen. I have no affiliation with Enhance Auto; I just think they've produced fantastic products.

      It was actually the 'S3XY Knob' that got my attention and I pre-ordered one for my car in May (it's not available for the Model 3 'Highland' until August). I then reached out to Enhance Auto to share my channel and ask if they could send me my pre-ordered Knob from the first batch to allow me to make a video ASAP.
      They came back to me, said they liked my content and were appreciative of the fact that I had purchased a product to use and review, rather than just emailed asking for freebies (which I imagine they get a lot), that they sent me a set of Buttons and the Commander module to review in the meantime! I was blown away! Great comms, great people AND great products!

      The LR is incredibly rapid and definitely the pick of the range, given the choice. The colour combo is simply brilliant - I couldn't be happier! Throw in the Commander unit and S3XY buttons and it gets even better.

    How are the indicator buttons on a roundabout , which in the UK we have a ton of? I can only think it is a distraction having to find the right one in that situation

    • @PaulsViewsReviews
      @PaulsViewsReviews  7 місяців тому

      I’m getting used to it. You have to think in terms of the left one being slighter closer to the edge than the right, rather than top and bottom, so you don’t need to look at the wheel every time. It’s still a learning curve.

      @@PaulsViewsReviews @SNORKYMEDIA You can put a s3xy button in the bottom triangle of the steering wheel. When pressed, let it indicate left in case ok UK (I have it right as I'm living in Belgium). When in a roundabout, it is in a perfect spot to press when you have to leave, and this solves for me all problems I had with the indicator buttons.

    • @PaulsViewsReviews
      @PaulsViewsReviews  2 місяці тому

      It's a good question and one which only they can answer. They will likely have access to some data but I can't tell you what potential control they could implement. I have not had a look, but I imagine there is a GDPR section on their website somewhere which tells you the answers.

      You certainly can for many functions, and I certainly don't use it enough, but you can't have voice control make several functions happen at once. Plus, there's the functions which the car doesn't actually offer but the Commander unit will. Use both!

      It looks like you're in the US. In fact, here in the UK, cars don't tend to beep when they lock. The Tesla is the exception to the rule, weirdly. Thankfully, most locks are just a flash of the hazard lights and that's it - not too invasive, whatever the time of day.

    Biggest issue with EVERY Tesla: the screen text is too small. Anyone that needs reading glasses cannot safely use a Tesla screen and drive. A Tesla is totally useless to me due to the small text. There needs to be more options to increase the text size (to 500% should be enough).
