[@imind00]

Thanks for a very standout, exceptionally useful, detailed installation instruction, and test!

[@LudicrousFeed]

Pleasure!

[@SmartEnergyLab]

Just followed your excellent instructions. Thanks for making this detailed and helpful instruction video.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Pleasure!

[@vinceciaffaglione4973]

Excellent video Tom, thank you. I will buy one of these and I love all your videos, great job.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Thank you and enjoy!

[@vinceciaffaglione4973]

Just ordered it tom and I donated the disocunt i got from you to teslogic, seems like a really fantastic prodict. my model 3 p schedulled pick up melb next sat. Thank Man keep up the good work.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Thank you so much! Enjoy the car and product!

[@TheTruePhoenixAU]

I was looking into these when I first ordered and then got the car but honestly you adapt to the speedo being on the display super quick.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Yup that’s true

[@kevinphillips9408]

This looks great. Thank you

[@LudicrousFeed]

Cheers

[@YouTubeUserLol]

It fixes one of the issues with the model 3/y. I think you can keep your spare phone just as Speedo. Thanks, great video.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Absolutely 👍

[@wcrash9361]

Strange that in a car this price and this modern and reliant on modern tech does not have a hud or instrument cluster as standard

[@graememills7778]

People who want it can invest in aftermarket I guess, those who aren’t bothered don’t need to and there’s no clutter. Maybe it’s a question of what do we really need to operate the car vs what we really want. Almost like Android vs Apple wars 😁

[@MichaelSmith-px1ev]

Awesome Tom ! If you want a speedometer for your Model 3 this looks like the best option. I would want to have a look when a call comes through how that looks Or when a message comes through.

[@LudicrousFeed]

It looks exactly as it would in landscape orientation based on your device settings

[@hungryx318]

Nice video, pretty cool accessory considering the power information. Only concern would be battery degradation from the prolonged sun exposure. It would be nice if they included a cover/shade for the device to both shield it from the sun and increase screen visibility (also might help trick cameras into thinking it’s not a phone).

[@LudicrousFeed]

Good point about sun exposure but I would’ve normally mounted my phone anyway on the dash

[@vijgai3]

Looks really good. If I end up with a M3 this would be the first mod I would do.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Good choice

[@AndoInAus]

Great video! Let us know how both the adhesive & also the magnet hold up, My concern would be the phone dropping off the mount if hitting a bump.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Sure no worries. You'll be seeing this featured regularly in my videos here on

[@russdoig3981]

I think you said on an earlier vid that you ordered M3 on 3rd March, and the build date was 17th Mar. 2 weeks to build (impressive), 10 weeks to get to Aus probably most of that is sitting at the docs waiting for border security! I ordered my Model Y 2 weeks ago, thinking I might put a candle on a cupcake today!

[@LudicrousFeed]

Not bad right?! I guess I got lucky with the right batch and lower price

[@aslsw]

Is there a better solution for running the cable for charging? It looks a bit dodgy to have wiring running over the dash!

[@aussiericky8618]

Keen to see if the 0-100 measuring matches the racebox one. I bought the racebox mini for my MYP after seeing your video and now I’m thinking I could have used this…I know, different products but hey, worth a compare!

[@LudicrousFeed]

RaceBox Mini is useful for a different purpose 👍

[@graememills7778]

Nice one Tom, definitely one of the better optional screen systems I’ve seen reviewed to date. Just speculating, that HUD option, I reckon if you just place your phone under the front windshield at night it will act like a HUD, maybe give it a test?

[@LudicrousFeed]

Good suggestion Graeme with the HUD. I think it may be possibly distracting / obstructive having it projected onto the windscreen like that 🤔

[@graememills7778]

@@LudicrousFeed yes possibly, a proper HUD whilst not to dissimilar have the projection part in the dash so you only see the reflection, so it would have to be angled away from the driver I guess. Might be worth playing around with. I’m definitely going to check this system out, maybe the kids can get it for me for Xmas 😊

[@jeremymorrissy9144]

Could Heads up display mode be used by mounting the phone’s back onto the steering column which would then reflect the image into the front windscreen?

[@LudicrousFeed]

I’ll have to try that … and to keep the brightness up I suppose

[@lucidf8]

Waze support would be ideal! I would already have bought Teslogic if they supported it. As it is, I may buy Teslogic anyway. But, I’m not in a hurry. Oddly, there IS alot of screen real estate and I wonder that they do not make the fonts a tad larger. I presume this is because young software engineers think the can see it perfectly well, so they stop when it looks fine to them. 😂. The LARGE font is way overkill, and does limit what can be shown on the screen. And, I’m sure there would be some superior ways of showing the dynamic information better, but that will take time to develop. Right now it’s a good product, and with a bit of customization, it could be great!

[@LudicrousFeed]

Agreed, improvements could be made with future software updates 👍

[@davidhirst7057]

Great video Tom! Are you using your everyday key phone for this, i.e. putting it up and down every time you use the car, or are you using an older phone? If latter, how far back can an iPhone model be?

[@LudicrousFeed]

I’d been using my daily phone until now but I recently bought a separate Android phone to use for testing Android Auto for my car reviews so I’ll probably use that from now on. As long as your older iPhone has BT and can support the current version of the Teslogic app, it’ll work 👍

[@xiaowei1]

This looked better than I thought it would. The software would be incredibly easy to update and add new features too. Whilst I prefer having a dedicated cluster, I also cannot deny the information, layout, and implementation is very well done. Is it possible to use a mini-iPad instead of a phone?

[@LudicrousFeed]

Agreed the layout/info could easily be updated if needed. I suppose you could use a bigger device but it could be obstructed by the top of the steering wheel

[@notmii8855]

The iPhone notch just ruins it lol

[@robertvanzant2653]

lovely set up , could be what Im looking for , by the way where did you get your floor mats , thanks.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Jowua all weather floor mats and liners - I've updated the video description with details

[@robertvanzant2653]

@@LudicrousFeed thank you

[@davidminh4512]

does this item integrate with an instrument display from Hanshow? are there enough connectors or one or the other? I like the options teslogic has to offer.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Hmm if you can find another CANBUS port you can potentially use both

[@auslei]

Interesting, would be great tha Tesla just update the system to send info to phone, given there is already a bluetooth connection.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Yup clearly there are a lot features left wanting by owners given we have so many accessories on offer from third party suppliers

[@sholaade1289]

S3xy buttons can do most of this and the display looks much better with the addition of having some buttons functionality as well.

[@davidsowden2595]

Excellent video on the installation , AND putting the covers back on! The App is better than any I have seen!!! What is the total price into Australia with your 10% discount?

[@LudicrousFeed]

Thanks! It’s USD $195+$40 so you’ll need to multiply by the current AUD exchange rate

[@davidsowden2595]

@@LudicrousFeed Did you have to pay GST on top of the exchange rate?

[@LudicrousFeed]

@@davidsowden2595 No you won’t have to - the price is as stated with currency exchange + your credit card fee. - Please note Teslogic sent this to me comp to review and promote

[@ImanIsmael]

Why all other (HUD) Installation videos, CAN BUS is on passenger sides? I wonder if the difference due to model / year?

[@LudicrousFeed]

Differences between the model years

[@liam1062]

Can this display when the brake lights are activated? The small Tesla car is the screen menu has tiny brake lights that you cannot see unless you lean right in so they are useless in traffic. I am always interested in when the brake lights activate due to regen as it seems to drivers behind you that you are either brake checking them or riding your brakes.

[@LudicrousFeed]

I don’t believe this display shows brake lights

[@d3n0tz_]

An interesting gadget Tom. Just wondering if its legal to mount the phone infront like that in NSW as the camera might pick it up as "distracting driver" because it didnt know that it showing information of the drive.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Yup good point - I'll have to explain myself if I ever get a fine in the mail or if I get pulled over 😬 But in seriousness, it's no more distracting than any digital instrument cluster in other EVs I've reviewed/driven

[@d3n0tz_]

@@LudicrousFeed That is true

[@SL-jg5sm]

Thanks for the discount code! How long do they take to ship the product to you? I ordered 2 weeks ago. The status still order placed. I wanted it badly!

[@LudicrousFeed]

Worth emailing them to check. Usually within a few weeks

[@notinthemanual]

People are going to start thinking we are planning our thumbnails together Tom 😂

[@LudicrousFeed]

Haha

[@notinthemanual]

Nice video. There are so many accessories for these cars and not enough OBD ports 😂

[@pharmastaffing3362]

Hi Tom, Can you confirm that if you indicate and there is a car in your blind spot that it turns the flashing green to red?

[@LudicrousFeed]

Yeah it seemed to right! I’ll have to make note of that in my next video

[@jeremymorrissy9144]

This looks great! Tom, are you worried the phone might overheat on those 37+ degree summer days ? It’s plugged in via MagSafe so even more heat from that as well.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Yup good point. Maybe an aftermarket hood to protect the phone 😅 I suppose no different to the mount I normally use from Jowua anyway

[@SimonDoddsSydney]

Right in front of air vent. Should keep cool.

[@MichaelKahn89]

Does this need cell-service to work or could you use an old phone you have lying around and just leave it in the car 24/7 (obviously you'd need to connect to wifi for the occasional update, but otherwise, does it need live data or does it get everything it needs from the car?)

[@LudicrousFeed]

Correct you can just use another phone. It does not need to be connected to the internet for this device/app to function. Only BT is needed 👍

[@putthegundownkinkade]

Curious to know why you think y9u4 predicted city range was so low

[@LudicrousFeed]

I’ll monitor this as time goes on and as efficiency improves - I’m curious too

[@kphaboutdy]

Using your phone maps share the directions with Teslogic and the maps will start navigating. I don’t recommend it as the navigation isn’t great. I’ve got mine turned off. Their is a bug with the battery percentage.

[@timothylee8577]

My concern what if you getting caught while driving touching your phone I love the unit. How’s that work

[@LudicrousFeed]

Check the mobile phone and driving laws in your own state as they can differ. In NSW: Allowed if used as a driver's aid (e.g. navigation, Speed Adviser app or dispatch system) IF the phone is secured in a cradle fixed to the vehicle Reference: roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/stayingsafe/mobilephones/know-the-rules.html

[@LudicrousFeed]

Also as you saw in the video there’s a setting which allows you to flick between screens using the right scroll wheel negating the need to touch your phone while driving

[@Cobbleswl]

Hi, if you could only get 1 would it be this or scan my Tesla? Does it have enough info? Thanks

[@LudicrousFeed]

Personally I find this product more versatile as it has a better interface and gives me the info I need. No doubt SMT drills further into the figures but some of it may not be relevant/useful for most people. Here’s my take on Scan My Tesla: Scan My Tesla Model Y 2023 Brand New Day 1 RWD LFP Battery Australia kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYPNYZWbgsSFoa8

[@Sturge0519]

Hi, just watched this as interested in the product, did you manage to get the navigation to work? Cheers

[@LudicrousFeed]

Yes I’ll update in another vid You send the navigation from Google Maps to the Teslogic app

[@Sturge0519]

@@LudicrousFeed Thanks for the update, does it work well? Do you use the phone’s speakers or through the car system via BT? Cheers

I don't use it often enough ... just use the Tesla Nav. If it had the ability to use Waze on the other hand! I've asked Teslogic to include this in future updates

[@a1peck]

It’s does look good although it km/h Tesla writes it incorrectly too 😊

[@LudicrousFeed]

👍

[@MarksElectricLife]

Oh, look! An instrument cluster… how retro ! 😂

[@LudicrousFeed]

We’re going back … to the future! 😆

[@SirDragonClaw]

The app is significantly better than I would have assumed seeing most of the apps for this kind of thing, though I can't get over how bad it looks on a phone with a big notch out of the left side of the screen, I wonder how this would look on a small tablet. Seems like they should sell an option that bundles it with a cheap android device preconfigured too, as I know many people would prefer something pre set up, and that would let them pick the best hardware for the purpose.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Aesthetics aside I like the flexibility of being able to remove my device if need be rather than something permanent behind the steering wheel. The possibility of software updates excites me - hopefully we’ll see Waze added in time 🙏

[@LudicrousFeed]

Any device bigger than a ‘max’ sized iPhone would probably be obstructed by the top of the wheel from the driver’s POV

[@SirDragonClaw]

@@LudicrousFeed True true, so you are saying you need a yoke then in addition to a tablet 😅

[@LudicrousFeed]

Haha

[@graememills7778]

I agree re the notch, would it look better on night mode / screen background black?

[@angyeon]

As far as I know all C ports in Tesla not for fast charging Am I right?

[@LudicrousFeed]

All can provide device charging. The only data port is in the glovebox

[@yinyang9109]

is it better using phone mount and Waze app?

[@LudicrousFeed]

I’ve asked Teslogic to include Waze integration in a future update

[@jockajocka]

Dark Mode?

[@LudicrousFeed]

Yes. I have it on auto currently hence day mode filming during the day. I’ll go for a night drive to show you the contrast 👍

[@stevestesla9120]

Hi Tom, any implications for the Tesla warranty?

[@LudicrousFeed]

Same disclaimer for all after market mods. Tesla will never give you a straight answer but I’m comfortable that I can reverse the installation if need be to return the car to baseline

[@PackFan-tv5pj]

@@LudicrousFeed Additionally - this mod is so easy to undo, you could remove it before any service appointment and avoid a warranty concern.

[@birreboi]

Just wondering how easy it is to remove the phone when not driving, otherwise it may be a temptation for a thief. In other words, I wonder how long will the 3M sticky tape lasts if you constantly place and remove your phone. Also I guess, for convenience, you really would need another fairly new phone. An (expensive?) added cost. Other than those few concerns, yeah it seems like a neat thing to use.

[@LudicrousFeed]

The 3M tape is only used to stick the mount to the car and also from the MagSafe charger to the mount. The connection from your phone to the mount is via a magnet / MagSafe so it doesn’t wear out the 3M tape If you have an older device / non-MagSafe, you can use the included magnet / ring to stick to either your phone or have it behind your case It’s very easy to place/remove the phone from the MagSafe mount much like any other MagSafe mount on the market eg the Jowua product seen in the video next to the infotainment screen

[@birreboi]

@@LudicrousFeed Ah cool, good to hear that there shouldn't be any problems.

Not yet but will keep testing

[@vivMak23]

[@tadasu]

Nice product. I assume warranty is void?

[@LudicrousFeed]

Uh no

[@AI_Trainer1024]

Not factory enough for my liking. Screen layout is ok though

[@theimax1]

I wonder if your phone will overheat

[@LudicrousFeed]

It’s in front of the air vents so should be ok. Plus I’ve had Waze open for long drives on my Jowua mount with no issues and Waze is far more battery intensive than the Teslogic app

[@utorrent01]

Good - but probably after a week would go back to minimalism and seamless experience

[@LudicrousFeed]

A good option for those who need a binnacle

How much is your full comprehensive insurance per year for your tesla..? $,$$$.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Check out my recent insurance vids

[@itsmePassportBro]

$5000pa

[@LudicrousFeed]

That’s way too much

[@dragoncraft5781]

Could you just use an older iPhone and leave it permanently? I'm sure everyone has at least one older model iPhone sitting in a draw! I also think if this costs what around $200, how much would it cost to add during production to provide a better user experience? I'm sure it would be a fraction of the cost. If I was already paying $70k-$80k for a car, spending an additional small amount for it to be factory fitted I would do it. Though, in saying that, if it was factory fitted it would likely cost over $1k!

[@LudicrousFeed]

Yup any older device with BT capability would suffice

[@FixedAU]

You need to be really careful about putting up video with you touching your phone while driving!
