I do recommend ceramic window tint though. it drastically reduces heat inside the vehicle which in turn increased efficiency and reduces your electricity consumption because you don’t have to run the ac as much
You GOTTA get tints...it will help with keeping the interior much cooler when parked outside which means quicker cool time for the AC and it protects the lifespan of the Dash and seats
@@TailosiveEV depends on the car and area you’ll be serviced in, call any tint shop and they can give you a quote, make sure to get ceramic for best heat rejection
As an engineer, I’ve installed several NEMA 14-50 outlets. Your extension cord should work fine. However, after 3+ hours of use, feel the temperature of male extension plug at NEMA receptacle. A little heat is ok, but if hot, the wires at receptacle are loose and immediately get electrician to fix them. Leave both ends of extension cord plugged in. A majority of NEMA 14-50 receptacles are rated for only a few dozen insertions, unless yours is commercial rated. Tesla recommends leaving mobile charger always plugged in. For 25% faster charging (40A vs 32A) at home, buy a Gen1 UMC so you can leave one in the car and another at home.
Ceramic tint is a must. If you live in a hot climate. Makes the car more efficient. Won't really change it if you leave the car unpowered in the sun but makes a big difference maintaining a cool temperature while you drive and using less A/C. I did the roof of mine in ceramic tint as well and you can feel the difference on your head. It's not cheap, about $600 with roof, $400 without, but it is a big comfort improvement and does help efficiency.
I know you feel you won't need it, but I can't recommend the paint protector film enough! You don't need to wrap the whole car, only the front end. That front grill is like a magnet for rock chips and bugs. When I got my M3 I did not get the PPF and regretted it, within months the frontend looked terrible! I ended up spending thousands to have a body shop replace the whole front end it looked so bad. Once I got the PPF installed I never had any issues, the stuff works wonders.
Yeah the front end is a magnet for rock chips. Should have installed PPF when we got our model 3. Now I'm considering a paint restoration or new paint job. Don't get me wrong the paint on the car as held up well but I have a bit of OCD with my cars because we tend to keep them for a decade or more before getting something new. I always like seeing my cars interior and exterior looking like I just purchased it.
I’ve something to recommend: the Hansshow nfc ring. It makes opening the car without your phone or locking the car without waiting for it to lock on walk away. I use it all the time. There are other companies that make nfc rings that do the same thing but Hansshow’s can be bought with the Tesla logo. Since it has a “face” side the other side can get beat up in normal wear and tear. Lastly i chose a pinky ring making it very easy to swipe on the B pillar.
Last night we had a rare power outage that lasted more then 2 hours. My wife and I were sitting in the dark and I said "Let's go watch TV in the car". She didn't know that was possible. We sat in the car for a couple of hours watching Netflix with the A/C on. That experience may factor into my decision about getting premium connectivity after the 30 day trial expires.

That extension should be fine. The Tesla LFP Mobile Connector only pulls 32 Amps and the Cord and NEMA 14/50 is rated for 50 Amp max with 40 continuous.
@@TailosiveEV Drew, heat along the extension cord uses extra power which adds up overtime. One way to help is to lower the charge speed to 28 amps (or lower). It charges almost as fast and middle of the night it doesn't make much difference.
Tint your windows will make it cooler inside and will make your car look a lot nicer. Also, should make it more energy efficient when using AC since temps will be less hot inside the cabin.
Screen protector and weather mats are always most important. I did get window tint to help with heat in the summer (all around except for windshield). I also got plastic mudflats on Amazon and I think they make the car look ever so slight sportier for cheap. Super easy to install too. Last thing I did was change the Tesla T on the back to matte black TESLA letters to stand out a bit among the ever growing fleet!
Get ceramic window tint. 5 percent all around and 35 percent for front windshield. Full privacy and still able to see at night. Might be a little challenging on foggy or rainy days how often does that really happen. If you get a ticket then fine you wont get to do it again but at least you got to experience it and hopefully for a while. Except to pay $500-$750 from a reliable shop
Personally, I think it’s a plus Tesla does not include floor mats. That allows people to get the floor mats they want, rather than just living with the (overpriced) OEM ones “included” in the sticker price. Yeah, right. Included. Like “free.” As for the J1772 adaptor, that was a great feature on a trip we took to Legoland in Carlsbad. They had Chargrpoint Level 2 chargers, free for guests. We stayed there a couple nights, with free charging! As far as I could tell, none of the ICE vehicles got free fossil fuel. So when you’re traveling, look for destination chargers (Level 2). Even if they’re J1772, you’ll be set to get some free electrons! Nice video.
Drew watching you have your model 3 is making me wanna FOMO into getting my Model Y order in. But I must remain vigilant 😭 I set a plan for myself that I would officially start the process in a year and a half, after paying off some existing debt.
The center console wrap should have the entire surface squeegeed down to avoid air bubbles. And the price you quoted is crazy high. Abstract Ocean sells high quality wraps for like $29.99, and they don't show any of the original surface along the edges.
You can make some cool accessories if you have a 3d printer or know someone who does. Print them with ABS ot PETH thoigh so the heat dosen't warp them to much. For example a Waterbottle adapter so you can fit bigger Waterbottles in the cupholder. Also made a lock sleeve for the J1772 adapter and a wall mount to hang the mobile connector cable on.
Hey 👋 On the extended cable, we had a short extension cable from amazon at first it work perfectly for like 6 months or maybe more, but after that the cable was getting too hot and it would just stop charging the vehicle. So we end up buying the Wall charger from Tesla and now we have no issues so far.
Tint your windows, with heat rejection film. And a windshield sun shade. You live in a hot area like me, I don’t know how ppl live with bare clear windows. Plus tinted windows look better I think.
The video that I've seen before your video, said that the screen on the Teslas aren't perfect. It's the Tesla screen, not the one you bought that's defective. I guess Tesla screens coming in from the factory a little weird anyway.
There’s a lot of Tesla accessories videos out there. Imagine buying a house and not decorating or putting some functional practical appliances in the house
You should try getting a j1772 Tesla adapter lock so no one can unplug your Tesla while you are gone because I heard on a UA-cam channel wham bam teslacam that people unplug peoples Teslas on purpose and you should get it in metal because the locks are 3d printed
If a Karen gets mad that she cants unplug the cable she will probably kick and dent your car or worse key it. Some people don’t care and would rather their Tesla just charge but I like keeping my Tesla looking new being that I payed so much for it
Your pedal covers and white console cover look great. BUT, it sounds like you got them for free (advertising). Be honest as a frugal Tesla owner, would you have paid for them?
Was thinking about getting this before I got my Tesla which I finally have a Tessie now but someone pointed out that if a Karen can’t “win” by unplugging the cable then she will by other means whether that be her kicking and denting your car or even worse keying it. Yah yah yah sentry mode is cool but I’d rather avoid the headache and take the loss
Cant wait to get a tesla. Just got my trucker license so that I could make this happen. Plan on getting it either this year or early next year. Wish me luck guys
I really do not like all weather floor mats. When it is raining they become very slippery. I much prefer the carpeted floor mats. But I also understand that different people like different things
@@oli668I used to be big on all weather floor mats but they absorb everything and when it comes to vacuuming you still have to wash it and agitate it with soap if you want it fully clean
why not just install a EVSE in your garage? In general extension cords should really be used only temporarily, or in emergency. Can just route the power the same as your extension cord, on outside of walls. It doesn't have to be a Tesla EVSE, honestly I prefer the Emporia Smart EV charger, it keeps track of my charge rate, kWh supplied, and charge cost. I just bought an extra J1772 to Tesla adapter that came in your subtrunk and leave it connected to my at home EVSE.
Sometimes you talk way too much! You wanted cheap Mats, so you got cheap mats. You spend money for every Apple Watch and iPhone, but cheap out on your car! You have a $60K+ car and only want to spend $5 or less on accessories ….WHAT THE H3LL! Maybe you got a defective unit…Dude what is wrong with you! Half the items were given to you, and you still have complaints! Why do you have a Tesla? I mean really WHY?
@@TailosiveEV First, I’m not hiding behind a keyboard, second go back and listen to “your” video. I asked what is wrong with you to get your attention, and it worked! You see sometimes, you are a bit much with the way you down talk about yourself. How are you going to achieve “ANYTHING IN LIFE” if you don’t believe it’s possible for you? It’s the way you come across, as a person poor in thought. You are not a person poor in thought, if you can afford to purchase a Tesla new, or used. I get it…you have done something you have dreamed about doing, and many others still dream about doing, so stop with the complaints. Move on to your next dream. You see achievements are built off of other achievements, as the case with your car. You achieved the car due to you achieving a UA-cam channel. The nit picking you do on thing is crazy. As a owner of 3 Tesla’s, I can tell you that they have not made the perfect car yet, and may not ever, but I love all 3 and would never buy an ICE vehicle again. Did you not do any research before purchasing the car? My point is this…You saved to get the car “of your dreams” Why not save to get the best things in the car “you” want? $80 for mats that “you” are going to point out to everyone are cheap, was not far from the $230 Tesla mats, or other mats on the market. Your car is an investment, so invest in it. Go back and watch your videos, and you will see what I have said to be true. A change in the way you see things, and express yourself could lead to a bigger channel. Oh and it you are wondering what mats I have in my cars…here you go. Look up TUXMATS Just saying!
