S3XY Knob Unlocks Hidden Tesla Features!

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

What a awesome review! Thank you so much for it! :)

[@DirtyTesla]

Thanks for cool products. Lots of good suggestions in the comments here so check them out

[@eliottlugo7857]

Please make a 2024 highland color matched knob

[@roguea987]

I don't even have a Tesla and I want this. LOL

[@jacobpedersen7047]

Best feature is the Continuous Autopilot feature that the Commander enables. After a lane change, it will automatically reenable Autopilot. Love it

[@jacobmaz8157]

Is that the like single button?

[@jacobpedersen7047]

@@jacobmaz8157 automatic means it does it for you

[@drschultz]

@@jacobmaz8157 no it's a passive feature. you indicate, make lane change but the commander unit automatically re-establishes auto steer once you are in the new lane

[@RoMoReviewsit]

I’m curious, does the knob have a setting to auto activate car wash mode? That would be super handy.

[@Tom_7979]

This should absolutely be a standard option in all teslas

[@wood1030]

Great review! One of my absolute favorite functions not mentioned is the ability to have your door(s) unlock and self present upon proximity. I have mine set up for at home (only), so when I walk up to my car ('21 M3P) the door will open without even having to touch anything. I love this feature, especially if I have things in my hand where opening the door handle can be awkward. The S3XY Knob is such a cool device and all the additional features and functions you get with the App just make this a must-have device for any Tesla owner.

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

The Presenting Door smart action is awesome. Thank you for appreciating it :)

[@berthogendoorn2133]

I got my S3XY buttons for two main reasons, in Alberta and BC Canada there are lots of highways that don't have Tesla chargers, so the battery preconditioning is stellar! The next is when camping in the back I use one button to turn on the lights, lock the doors and open the rear hatch, just excellent. I would like them to add a seat resume to drivers position. I move my drivers seat forward to make easy access for Bower our Yellow Lab, but I have to touch the seat button and hit the screen to resume, would be nice if that could be accessed with the S3XY buttons!

[@slowercuber7767]

Love that wiper action! Wiper control is possibly the thing that needs the most help. I’ve gotten used to managing the wipers now, and can turn them on and off and manually adjust, etc, but I find the idea of hooking up some of these quite appealing, for wipers and doors and maybe some other things. Thanks for sharing your experience with the product!

[@aaronyoder121]

You know you can use the scroll wheel clicking left and right after you hit the wiper button once to adjust the wipers as well.

[@SmartFurnishing]

This is Perfect for Uber. A lot of people don’t know how to open the doors and every time I’m in the car it locks so I have to press that little button on the screen multiple times to get it to unlock. I’d program this to open all doors and the driver would be the unlock button

[@youtubecommenter-on9kd]

Definitely consider the buttons or knob, but if you put the car in park, the doors should unlock (for a customer that knows how to use the tesla handles, of course)

[@Maarten_vd]

Driving a 2019 model 3 performance, i like the regenerative breaking that is much stronger in trackmode. I would love to have that during normal driving, can this be done as well ?

[@eugeneputin1858]

Would love this as well

[@DirtyTesla]

I'm not sure, you'd have to ask them, great idea

[@sjsphotog]

Very very cool to have an "Audi-like" knob in your Tesla to control stuff especially the Gear shift if your Tesla has no stalks!!! If we get a Tesla we'll get the S3XY Knob for sure.

[@DOB27011966]

Great video. I have seen this device before. Looks amazing. My only concern would be warranty impact of being able to activate features that Tesla doesn’t allow e.g. switching on and off motors etc.

[@driesverhelle6276]

If you turn off one motor do you have the bigger range like a rwd tesla?

[@dcheard2]

I doubt it. That means there's added weight without the power to propel it. I'm sure the output is more dynamic than just on/off make sure it's getting the highest efficiency possible in relation to speed. So that could mean on the hwy, it would be a 70/30 split, 90/10, or 100/0 depending on needs.

[@DirtyTesla]

People have tested it and seen that yes their efficiency gets quite a bit better, but Enhance suggests not using this feature for long durations so it's not something I think that would be useful in daily commuting for example

[@driesverhelle6276]

​@DirtyTesla Thanks I wonder if it has anything to do with tesla's warranty because I would certainly use it for trips that are just too long on one charge.

[@tapetwo7115]

Does this turn off the display if im out of the car/locked? Or do i need to make sure auto display off after 90s or whichever is turned on? Dont wanna drain the EV battery when im not using the car even if it's minimal i feel like theres some constant wireless tuff going on

[@bigdougscommentary5719]

I use the knob in my Lyft Tesla. I use voice commands most of the time but not possible when riders are in the car. I can’t tell everyone to be quiet while I use voice.

[@SelfDriveLA]

I like the idea of hiding one behind the screen and using the button to switch between chill and acceleration boost, I mostly use chill, but sometimes I would like to get ahead of a situation and accel boost would help.

[@youtubecommenter-on9kd]

I'm a little scared, thinking of what situation the full-pedal-press acceleration on chill mode is insufficient for...

[@BrianJoslyn]

AWES💣ME This knob is funky! I'd possibly still also use the buttons. I like your choice of having a button kinda hidden for the glove compartment. It seems like it'd just be more convenient having a button closer to where the glove compartment is. I'll be team Chris. The knob, and buttons, needed for Cybertruck!

[@ronolsberg1468]

When you use the commander to turn on battery pre-conditioning, the cabin climate does not also need to be on? Can you disable the traction battery pre-conditioning while supercharging without entering/using the service menu? I believe this new commander also works with Scan My Tesla? I assume you would also need to install the provided adapter behind the center console for the SMT functionality to work? What is the deal with possible duty charges if these are shipped to the US? Can the commander be used to enable/re-enable autopilot? Can it automatically re-enable Autopilot after a lane change or after a selectable time interval?

[@TurcoYT-m6f]

can you set a button to mute overspeed warning

[@glenf4115]

Nice design! As someone that uses idrive daily I bet the next version will have symbols appear on the four buttons like idrive "nav, radio, etc." I can see this as a no-brainer for BMW drivers that have or are about to purchase a Tesla.

[@Clamdine]

Thank you. I use my MY for Uber sometimes and there have been many times I wished I could open the rear right door from the driver seat without having to reach in the backseat. I had always wondered if it would be possible with the SEXY buttons.

[@MrGMawson2438]

Bloody good bit of kit

[@dingbatt]

The App in display mode can be used as a driver’s display (with a suitable mount in front of the steering wheel). From another video I watched it displayed blinker and brake lights. It would be even better if it could display continuous blind spot monitoring as well (not just when you indicate). With the S3XY knob able to do gear selection, all they need is a replacement indicator stalk for the steering column (for the Teslas that need it😊) and it would be perfect.

[@slowercuber7767]

I just ordered a S3XY Knob for Perl (she's a 2023 MY LR AWD HW4 built in Austin in June), and you were right, your DIRTYTESLA promo code discount is added to the 20% discount (which expires in a couple of days, you got your video out in time!). It's an expensive item, but I'm hoping it will work well for me. Do you know if the plastic pry tools shown in the video come with the order? I'm hoping I'll be able to connect the commander via the console access in the driver's footwell, but if that isn't available, I expect to be able to use the connection accessed via the passenger door frame (as you showed in the video) -- worst comes to worse I'll hook it up in the back of the console and dangle it out there, but frankly, not in love with that idea, not that it'll really bother me that much ....

[@DirtyTesla]

They give an even better pry tool than what I used :) definitely put it in the front, watch their video on how to do it it's super easy

[@SkepticalCaveman]

Preconditioning extends the life of the battery too.

[@mariominayag]

did the buttons work for you? thats one of the main reasons I'm interested in this!

[@kencotton4645]

I see you installed the commander on the ODB port by passenger side of the car. Is that something needed for the S3XY knob, because I did not even see that suggested for the S3XY buttons on their own.

[@youtubecommenter-on9kd]

pretty sure it's required for all the controls sold by enhance? except for if you go with the behind-the-console installation (which has a more limited feature set)

[@frankfrati4]

When you say to install the box in the kick panel are you talking about the commander box for the sexy buttons? I looked through my app and I did not see any options to shut off one of the motors. Wondering if I need to move my commander box. I have it behind the console

[@youtubecommenter-on9kd]

The "behind-the-console" installation does have reduced features - unsure whether that's one of the missing features

[@chrishewson40]

is there a button for turning off the front wheel drive motors so i just use the rear wheel motors?

[@DirtyTesla]

You can turn off a single motor, but they advise you don't use it for regular driving.

[@paulmeynell8866]

If you enable a setting tesla don’t allow you access to , does it void your insurance? I’m sure in the uk they would use this to void your insurance.

[@DirtyTesla]

I'm guessing you mean warranty, and for the most part no. But .. I could see a scenario where you do *something* with this knob, and let's say your seat motor burns out, Tesla may argue that the item caused this to happen. I don't think anyone will experience this, but it's not impossible. Best bet is to remove third party accessories before getting warranty work done. But on my 2021 Y, I had s3xy buttons, after market yoke, and modified center screen... I had warranty work done by Tesla with no issues at all.

You need a video mode button where it goes to mars and anything else you use while filming.

[@anshulg14]

Great video and love it, and this will sound crazy but gonna say it - if it's so easy to plug with your car system, doesn't it raises a question of security, specially for certain kind of people. Someone just needs access to your car for 5 min (and thats when you did first time, a pro - a min, maybe less) and they can literally hack your entire car, something for Tesla to think about security 😇😉 I'm not saying not to provide access but shouldn't be without an authorisation !!!

Can the Knobs or Buttons change the programming of the octovalve in the Model Y to prioritize cooling the cabin when we get into the car on a hot day? Sometimes it takes several minutes of no air flow and 90+ temperature in the cabin before cooling kicks in. If the Knobs/Buttons can't do this, is there any other way to change the cooling priorities to get immediate cooling?

[@youtubecommenter-on9kd]

might... might as well ask if it's possible! but might not be great for driving performance? But... are you not able to start cooling the cabin from your phone a few minutes before you get in the car? (like before putting your shoes on, or in the checkout line, paying your bill, or clocking out at work... depending on where you're coming from, of course)

[@farrellschultz1111]

I love this device

[@craighermle7727]

I just ordered the knob. It'll be nice to be able to make changes without having to stare at the center screen. I bought the knob, just to be able to switch back and forth between "chill and standard" without playing with the thumb wheel. All the other options are free

[@youtubecommenter-on9kd]

I already have a phone/tablet charging cable thingy taking up an inch of my center console - looks like either the SEXY knob OR the charging cable thing would leave enough room, but BOTH I don't think I can handle, so I'm only going for the buttons - the buttons should be able to toggle driving mode, right?

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

For now. We would not call it S3XY Knob if we do not make it for the S and X models :)

If the app shows you lots of useful driving info, perhaps they should be providing a mount to use your phone like a binnacle.

[@mmintegratyper78]

Can this still be used to get rid of the FSD nag?

[@youtubecommenter-on9kd]

You can get rid of the nag by having your hands on the wheel and applying turning force? it's pretty clear in the instructions that pop up periodically.

[@little-messi]

Hello, I've been using FSD for two years now, up to version 12.3.6. There's been a significant risk along this short stretch where it suddenly makes a right turn at a specific location before entering the tunnel. After intervening and restarting FSD in the tunnel, it makes another sudden right turn at a specific location upon exiting the tunnel. At that time, I slowed down to the minimum speed to observe, and eventually, it returned to the lane, but it's very dangerous during busy periods on the highway. These two locations have consistently posed issues across all previous versions. Every time a new FSD version is released, I hope for improvements. To be honest, it's dangerous if I don't intervene. Considering I'm in British Columbia, Canada, where FSD usage might be rare, there haven't been any major accidents. These locations are along Vancouver-Blaine Hwy99 passing through Deas Slough Bridge entering and exiting the tunnel. If you want to view the video, I can send you.

[@falconwaver]

What watch were you wearing? It looks cool.

[@Caspar0s]

That is the way to do buttons in a car. Gives you the ability to do what you want them to do, but keeps them in a standard place and easy reach and if you don't want them then you don't have to buy them. Thought it would be a bit dumb at first but was swayed by the amount of customization.

[@brantwedel]

I insta-ordered when I saw it could turn on all the lights 😆

[@Jukebox4Jesus]

Definitely a unique product. However for myself, I would prefer if Tesla would increase the vocabulary of the voice commands. I like the minimalist appearance, but there are many commands I wish the car could perform, but currently can't do. If there is something you can do in the car menu, you really should be able to "ask/command" it to do verbally.

How anyone could complain about what somebody else does with their own stuff that doesn't affect that person in any way is honestly mindboggling.
