I1wraps & installs. Good luck..

[@JosephWolfgram]

Congrats on expanding, Brian! I just LOVE the wrap you did for my Cybertruck. It was worth the 3,200 mile roundtrip to have it done by the BEST!!

[@i1Tesla]

Thank you again for coming all this way and letting me film like 9 videos with you. I have more fun hanging with you than wrapping the truck. The wind tunnel experience blew me away.

[@CharlesBurnsPrime]

I remember when you figured out how to make the early Model 3 trunk auto-open. I know that inventing gadgets to solve issues does not make for a sustainable channel, but I would love to see more of that. Detailed install videos are always welcome as well, even if in multiple parts.

[@timarnheim1432]

I can watch you wrap Teslas all day. Keep doing what your doing on this channel. No one does the detail job like you. i1Wraps is a great name.

[@gardcon]

I am definitely a big fan of yours (and Karen) whatever you call it. I will definitely recommend it to anyone. You have built an amazing reputation by letting everyone see your attention to detail. I show off the I1Tesla decal on my c harge port every time I talk you up.

[@i1Tesla]

Thank you

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Brian, I love that you are always thinking about the next thing and even the thing after that! I am really glad that you are separating the wraps into their own channel as I have not really been watching your channel because I really miss what you used to do on this channel. I learned so much from the "What If?" videos and so much more. The wraps channel could just be i1Wraps and the main channel could be i1 and something after that.

[@i1Tesla]

I will be getting this channel back to what it was before and having most of the wraps on the other channel. Thank you for your support all these years.

[@TeslaToybox]

Everything sounds awesome. LOVE THE WRAP Videos

[@mjmellock]

i1 Wraps sounds great!

[@CharlesBurnsPrime]

I kind of like T-Wraps. T for the historical Tesla reference, and can be said "Traps" as in trap speed. Additionally, easy to remember. A few others that come to mind: Carmor (Car armor), Shine Paint Protection, Car Guard Customs, The Wrapper and The Rest, or keep it simple with Car Wrap and Accessories. You might also consider keeping accessories in stock so that owners can come in and have the option to simply hand over money and buy a soft close trunk, for example. Maybe start with just a few upgrades to get a feel for the take rate.

[@NoCheetoes]

Good idea to have a separate place for your wrap videos. I like seeing the different wraps on this channel, but I don’t care to watch the process. I like the before, after and the reactions of the clients. Keep that here as well as put on the other channel.

[@i1Tesla]

Thank you for the feedback and I get it.

[@vbroadnax7823]

Hi Brian. I say go with i1. Drop the “wrap” portion since you will be doing more than wraps. CONGRATULATIONS. I’m very happy for you.

[@martenwallace8027]

I plan to travel from Northern Virginia and have some work done on my Model X. I love your work.

[@Otterbruce]

Well we have a model X. I'll make the trip for that soft close frunk.

[@i1Tesla]

I need to get it for my wife too. Come on over.

[@garytomita6623]

Go for it! I've been watching you since 2018 when I purchased my M3, Dual Motor long range. That's when getting a dual white Pearl color Tesla cost $1K extra. Fast forward to 2023 October. I purchased a Model X Plaid Ultra Red with a white interior. It was a big jump from an M3 to an MX, but it was worth it. It's too bad that you're not in Hawaii. I'd gladly give you my wrap business. For the price I paid, I'm sure you'd do a better job on my X. I1 Tesla fan, Gary I1 Wrap sounds good to me. You get my vote of confidence.

[@HansMilling]

Do it. Follow your dream. If it does not pay out, you can always try something else. Just remember. You can do it cheap or earn more money when you are at home. When you rent a shop, you either earn less, because you have to pay the lease or you need to increase the prices, and then you might not stand out from the other companies. Soon you have to hire more people, etc. You will go from being your own boss to running a company. You will have no time for the fun stuff you used to love, and you might regret what you did. So really think this trough, talk to your family and friends about it, and make absolutely sure, this is what you really want.

[@patrickfaragher5374]

I think it’s a great idea. I do like a mix of wraps and accessory installations.

[@klauswustrack4481]

Love your videos. Good luck from south of France! Yellow headlights remind me of the 70s in France...

[@aussie2uGA]

Fantastic news - expansion! Get your place and we'll try to figure out how to get the R1T wrapped with the custom small business logos.

[@naiimmayes]

I would definitely support, when I get my next vehicle. I'll be driving from South Carolina.

[@prelude428]

I like i1 wraps. I like all the vids so you can keep them all together.

[@NoHarmDunn]

I’ve been a long time follower, but unfortunately the KZbin algorithm had me missing a lot of your videos lately. I feel like you should include your wraps on the main channel when they’re super interesting, even though every rap is unique. Not as short as a KZbin short but something that will keep peoples attention, but not super long like a Kyle Connor OOS vid. Something that showcases the means and methods, possibly the methodology, and the finished product sub 20 min. I really like the ammo Nyc stuff and some of the other car detailing creators that take a probably weeks long process and condense it down. Cheers to your continued success 2024 and beyond

[@i1Tesla]

thank you

[@CorySpears1978]

Tesla Skinz, Electric Customs, Unplugged Graphics, Charged Wraps. That’s all I got for now. If you’re ever looking for investors/partners, hit me up. Have a great weekend!

[@wmartonejr]

Not sure what i1 stands for but i1Wraps seems like a good enough name 🤷🏻‍♂️ On this channel I enjoy the non-wrap content most though I do like to see the finished product for non-standard wraps.

[@i1Tesla]

I didn't catch that in editing. Thats funny

[@curtiskirk584]

Been a long time enjoyer of your videos. My two cents: keep this video as pure Brian thoughts and commentary related to all things electric vehicles or whatever cool stuff you come across or adventures you go on. Wraps are cool and all, but I do think a separate platform for those interested in it would be better. I’ll be honest, I started tuning out once you got into the wrap scene. But then the algorithm brought me back with some of your recent material that was reminiscent of the old days. I enjoy your editing, the humor, and your openness. Keep it up!

[@i1Tesla]

Thank you very much. I appreciate the honesty

[@chaseing_chase]

I wouldnt mind seeing a few wraps on this channel, but have the wraps be very unique

[@EVNV-13]

I1 Wraps is a great name and good for you for starting your own business. I’m in Winston and I hope to get with you when I have time to install Alpines in my 22’ Model 3 and the soft closing frunk.

[@BlazerRox]

I like i1Wraps for the name. I like seeing the wraps on the main channel too. If you create a wrap-specific channel, maybe you could still post your personal wraps (you seem to change up your wrap now and then) on the main channel.

[@antonioraynor73]

I would love to see wraps and the places you will be looking at for the new shop. Best of luck.

[@tziegler]

Brian, I am very excited for your idea. i1Wraps is a great name. My Suggestion is to do all the wraps on that channel, and maybe any product installs like the power frunk, shocks...etc. Leave this channel for like trips with your tesla, new tesla purchases, FSD drives. Maybe I will take a drive down and have you ppf my vehicle too :) Keep up the excellent content.

[@i1Tesla]

Thank you. That is the idea with the two channels. I know many people don't want to see the wrap all the time

[@tziegler]

@@i1Tesla personally I am a fan of it. I love watching it. Would like to see more prep work. Like clay baring techniques, removing cameras and bumpers… etc

[@jimlenoir8155]

Brian: I think this is a great idea that you are moving ahead to make “i1” a business. Perhaps you might consider using the “i1” as a logo for your business to include Wraps, accessories, tinting, etc. I’ve watched your channel since 2019 prior to purchasing my 2020 Model 3 in November 2019. I live in Belmont, NC and thought about asking you to install a few accessories but I thought you were taking on these projects for friends and close acquaintances. I am excited for you and I am sure to be a customer! 😂

[@i1Tesla]

Thank you and bring it on over.

[@francisteng8015]

Brian, I have 3 names for thoughts: a) i1 Works--since you are not only doing wraps but other modifications for Tesla cars and other cars. b) i1 Creations---since you do great work like an artist!! c) i1 Mods--for car modifications. Good luck with your new endeavor!! Keep your vids coming!!

Brian you are great at what you do. I love your work and what you have done to my Tesla. So I know your next adventure will be just as great as this one. I1Wraps is a great name.

I live in NJ, and I might go and some work for MYP with you. Also, please talk about the pros or cons of owning vs leasing an EV...none of the other KZbinrs talk about in detail.

Logo @ 4:30 looks like the Marlboro logo, that's a gross logo to have someone's mind immediately jump to when you see it, especially if you have merch. Logo at 4:36 is much better. Not sure if you were looking for logo feedback but I had such a visceral reaction to the first one, I felt compelled to comment. Insanely close to pulling the trigger on the CT style yoke for my Model Y, your video on it all but sold me. Good luck with the new endeavor!
