Electrified Garage: How the Pros install a Hansshow Model 3 Power Front Trunk

[@BillionDollaGil]

I watched this to the end and found it super helpful! Only thing I need help with is getting a Tesla.

[@WatchRichRebuildsChannel]

I would start by buying the hitch from E.G. garage and then go from there. Buy all of E.G. garages Tesla upgrades and then buy the car. 👍🤣😂🤣

[@morriec9868]

I install these in the Washington D.C region, and for those who choose to install themselves (something I admire) two notes I have after watching the video: 1) "Dry fit" frunk bucket, as in put in without screwing down, before test close; Often times the adjustment to the latch that pulls the lid close is needed only after the extra resistance of the bucket and it's frunk seal is in place, 2) Put the waterproof sleeve on after you have tested the closing as in 1); Sometimes the closing strength (an adjustment not covered in this video, but is detailed in the Hansshow manual they supply/online) needs adjusting, and only possible from button on side of silver control box.

[@Stokkelo]

I did the power trunk install, several weeks ago with the guidance of your video. Great video, the best powertrunk install video. The powerfrunk install is far easier in my opinion...

[@BecauseTesla]

Great job, guys! Yeah, the power frunk is WAY easier/faster to install than the power trunk. I just installed the foot sensor for the frunk, and it is surprisingly useful!

[@sklontz]

If I was not 1000 miles away I would definitely bring my 3 to you for this install!

[@morriec9868]

Washington D.C region, per chance?

[@WatchRichRebuildsChannel]

Love to see you guys frunking around showing us the newest options and how to video’s for our cars.

[@gjwestonable]

Fantastic video, that's a nice kit too. I always thought powered trunks (boot in UK) were a bit of a gimmick until I bought a BMW with a powered one. Best thing ever.

[@DavidSpiers]

You make it look easy, guess that's what knowledge and experience does, great video

[@maxwellrobinson2924]

You should do a video upgrading the speakers/ using the speakers already in SR+ that are inactive

[@BlazerRox]

Love these videos, thank you for them and hope to see more!

[@JeremyFath]

Great video, good hands on walk through. I didn't realize it was so easy to get into the frunk.

[@mikelieber1]

That was awesome work - super clean and organized (wish you guys were closer) - keep up the great work and keep the videos coming!

[@WatchRichRebuildsChannel]

Now Chris can tow a trailer full of EV Tuning products to the next EV car show. 👍

[@FDchief904]

Nice clean install. You have done that before.

[@dg1294]

Great work and also great to see the care you guys take in doing the job right. Thanks from the UK.

[@RubyRube10465]

Nice work!

[@z00h]

That's a cool little trick there.

[@pnstavrop]

Outstanding video! You make it look so easy.

[@FlexyZMelon]

thanks again, awesome install - love your work - would be nice if you installed the foot sensor also (and for trunk)

[@MeowTechCam]

I will watch this all day everyday. Like if Google Glass we’re still a thing, (I think they have the workplace version) you could just stream from that. And I’d watch that wonderful video.

[@michl4136]

Good Job, nice Video. Greets vom Bavaria

[@rabeahkarram9689]

If I buy this car I need this mod : ) wow well done amazing video : )

[@chingwodapigu]

They need to make one of these for the Model S so I don't have my hood dented when other folks close it and press in the middle.

[@stefanschader856]

It is available for the Model S

[@morriec9868]

It is available for the Model S (www.hautopart.com/product/tesla-model-s-power-frunk). There are also install videos on KZbin, or you could contact Hansshow for an installer to do it for you (I do so in Washington D.C region).

[@gregorrose8935]

Interesting video. Is this an aftermarket part or a main dealer optional add-on?

[@ajwilliams5830]

I feel like my guy might’ve helped design these. Real deal Tesla wizard

[@paulhortonatcoxnet]

I noticed you are able to close from the screen is this an update I installed mine about few months ago.

[@mediaaccount167]

When are you going to have locations in other parts of the US?

[@moneymikeslickwill8749]

Invest business partner offer?

[@pnstavrop]

Come to Chicago!

[@z00h]

they should start franchising

[@TheOfficialJoel]

impressive.

[@stockingstuffer696]

@electrified garage next time when you're putting on that sock on the module turn it inside out then kinda roll it on to the module so to speak

[@Guust_Flater]

You mean like a real condom?...... 🙄

[@TheoFennel]

Watching all the things I will do to my Tesla when I get one.

[@mumblinge5892]

What is the brand of the wire stripper that you're using? Thanks

[@rabeahkarram9689]

Do you have a location in Canada or any recommendations for us Canadians ?????

[@jim575757]

Nice job, although i don't really like that fuse location. Next to the brake res.

[@morriec9868]

You can run 12v lead underneath the thermal beam (black one that the control box is being mounted to in this video), and around the side of the battery to mount from the back.

[@coolissimo69]

Great Bro, I just need a Tesla now.

[@rn2cro03]

That's cool!

[@tristanskylark]

How much for labor?

[@usamericans6045]

any soundproofing tips on the way?

[@brawnbenson552]

US americans - I don’t think there is any floor insulation padding under the carpet. I wish Tesla’s came with thick padding. That and soft closing doors for the Model 3 and maybe the whole lineup

[@israndy]

How do Professionals install a foot sensor? I need a video!

[@Sibs]

When is the Long Range Model 3 upgraded to performance via software video coming?

[@whatislove127]

1 day ago

[@loganrossignol]

Do ya'll do anything like sound deadening services for the Model 3, like adding foam in body panels or acoustic material or anything like that? I know there was some interest in opening a location in Ocala FL, which is a bit of a hike for me from the Tampa area, but if you did a service like that and it's not too expensive, I would probably be down. Not that I find the 3 excessively loud, but I wouldn't hate it if it were a little quieter on the highway.

[@stevedutcher3875]

Very nice!

[@tristanskylark]

Yeahhh go Chadd

[@handlealreadytaken]

Does this kit work on the Y or are the struts too short?

[@morriec9868]

I would wait for Hansshow to release a kit for the Model Y if I were you. Unless you have $500 you don't mind trying it out on, and if not having to waste/have the hassle of selling to someone else.

[@tristanskylark]

Do the model 3s have the dual horns?

[@ElectrifiedGarage]

Yes, all the Tesla's have dual horns, 1 is a high frequency, 1 is a low Frequency.

[@EVunedited]

Is there one for model S?

[@tristanskylark]

Xcube yes.

[@morriec9868]

[@rayrays96]

No safety latch? Would love to see this fly open on the freeway.

[@paulhortonatcoxnet]

The hood does have a safety latch!

[@morriec9868]

@27:41 - Look at the guys hand. His finger is pointing to the main latch; His knuckel is right next to the safety latch.

[@furythps]

Can we see the trunk get done please?

[@ElectrifiedGarage]

It has already been done. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHfNqp2Qnr10i6M

[@Travb1999]

Do they make these for a Chevrolet Bolt EV?

[@morriec9868]

A search (which there seems no ability to link to) says no through Hansshow (www.hautopart.com)

[@Jarmezrocks]

Hey that aDigitalnomad is idiot! I've give him a serve lol. I'm so so sorry to hear you've experienced a customer like that! I've had people like that before, and you seriously just want to smash your head against a wall. When they leave you feel relieved. Anyway you guys should sue him for slander just to teach him a lesson lol. Where were we? Oh yes power trunk installs!

[@ew897]

So anyone can open the frunk by pulling the emergency cable?

[@Bastyyyyyy]

Only if the car is already "unlocked"

[@jim575757]

Was wondering that also, if that works when locked. Wouldnt leave valuables in there anyway though.

[@stefanpetersons1878]

As anyone can if they have a 12v battery anyways I guess.

[@morriec9868]

You're assuming that the cable doesn't have the same safe guards as the factory emergency frunk release. Perhaps you should take a look at kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2K6g4VneNFqbqM (see the headlights are on and mirrors are outfolded at the start of the video). The manual states 'when the car doesn't have power' (www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/model_3_owners_manual_north_america_en.pdf#page=22). I wouldn't assume this means the HV battery isn't providing power AND the 12v isn't either, rather that the HV isn't providing power, but the 12v is (which of course is all the time). This functionality exists to get to the HV disconnect loop inside the frunk area.

[@tristanskylark]

32:55 you should change to speed 4 or 5

[@morriec9868]

Why? 6 isn't "best"; It is the fastest speed. Have set this on *many* installs thus far without issue.

[@geoffgeoff3333]

"Now, that we have the actuator installed...". Why skip this equally important step, Chad?! It's as if you're playing: "I've got a Secret!" Lucky there's another video featured by the manufacturer that shows exactly how to do this step!

[@freundron]

Nicely explained, but the work you did in front of the 'tub' could have benefited from additional lighting...

[@omadscience7358]

Where is the heck is the ghost mode video

[@morriec9868]

You want them to feature how to install DIY something that makes them 1k in earnings? I do believe the maker only sells to installers, and not the DIY crowd, at least yet...

[@chrismast2790]

Fun Fact: The Electrified Garage owns stock in a zip tie company, heh.

[@morriec9868]

LOL. Yeah, one can route those cables under other cables, and do away with many of the zip ties used.

[@roybrown4944]

How is the owner going to hear the beeping?

[@morriec9868]

Trust me; The high pitch makes it plenty loud through the plastic frunk bin. Some folks actually want me to cover the speaker with electrical tape to attenuate the sound.

[@etiennepinaffaux7133]

Hope that's not the ghost m3, if yes they are gonna find it with the numbers shown.

[@FalconFour]

6:00 - oh my god I had no idea these have a direct manual external release. That's a horrible idea! Those power terminals are disabled (applying power won't open the frunk) if the car still has +12v power, so effectively the frunk is a safe vault... but putting a manual release there is freaking horrible! :o

[@ajwysopal]

Only if car is unlocked

[@morriec9868]

@Matt Falcon - You're assuming that the cable doesn't have the same safe guards as the factory emergency frunk release. Perhaps you should take a look at kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2K6g4VneNFqbqM (see the headlights are on and mirrors are outfolded at the start of the video). The manual states 'when the car doesn't have power' (www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/model_3_owners_manual_north_america_en.pdf#page=22). I wouldn't assume this means the HV battery isn't providing power AND the 12v isn't either, rather that the HV isn't providing power, but the 12v is (which of course is all the time). This functionality exists to get to the HV disconnect loop inside the frunk area, hence, I wouldn't call the frunk a "safe vault" by any means.

[@tristanskylark]

0:47 Condom 😂

[@vadim7590]

Holy sheeeeit, $1100 plus tax and labor is nuts for opening a frunk?

[@tristanskylark]

10:30 microwave*

[@lowhanlindsey]

33 minutes? Aint nobody got time for that!!!

[@z00h]

Show some respect when referring to 33.

[@morriec9868]

Seriously? Someone takes time to show you how to do something yourself, at the cost of their income, and you can't scroll by or leave a positive comment?

[@philmckay9973]

where's the manscaping?!?!?!!?

[@RD-qg5id]

Hi. We like your effort in creating these contents on Tesla but the camera is shaky and gives us headache. I suggest you put the camera on your upper chest with a self stabiliser or ask someone else to hold it for you. Please make a video on Chevy Volt (Vauxhall Ampera) on how to increase its battery capacity. Thanks from UK.

[@erikb8877]

I can't figure out why I watched this. I don't own a Tesla. Probably never will be able to afford one.

[@Proth1975]

Disappointed with the lack of kitchen knives used during install.

[@The-Northern]

😂😂 so you do it AS EVERY DIY INSTALLER DOES IT. Pro 😂😂🙏🏻

[@MrGonzonator]

Anyone else feel like this $1,000 add on should be a factory option?

[@Netlogic.]

Nah, it's just a hood. Why don't modern cars have hinges that hold the hood up like in the 70s though?

[@morriec9868]

It could, but this would push up the base price for everyone, not just those who install this. And then there would be even less differences between the Model S and the 3 (in terms of powered trunk).

[@Ryukachoo]

Some free to use Lofi beats in the background would help a lot in terms of audio

[@curmudgeon1933]

Don't go down that path. Every other car channel that has 'muzac' on their videos is borderline unlistenable.

[@skodbolle]

And Tesla still screws your warranty......

[@morriec9868]

Onus is on Tesla to prove modifications caused issue, not the other way around - www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0138-auto-warranties-routine-maintenance

[@Jamaicanboi407]

OMG a channel without poor with poor rebuilds...! lol lol

[@calebmcclure3893]

What electric drill did you use to unfasten the bolts at 1:41
