Tesla Accessories You Need on Day 1 of Ownership - Only The Essentials

[@kylehill4437]

Shop near me quoted me $1,499.00 for Model Y ceramic coating...now Im definitely doing it myself. Thanks for sharing this info

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Yea it’s a total ripoff

[@JeremyVinny]

The Matte Screen Protector has been so clutch.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Yea I like it

[@abrown7375]

I’ve got them all saved in my Amazon lists ready to purchase when a VIN is assigned! At this moment the garage tech is putting an automatic door on the second bay as part of preparation for my Tesla’s arrival this fall. The Tesla baby room is coming along quite nicely. Next step, deciding on wall mount vs 14-50

Hahaha love it

Can you share the list of the accessories you ordered on amazon? i am waiting for my Tesla and would like to be ready with my accessories . Thank you so much.

[@abrown7375]

@@almaguerra6992 most of them are what BTG linked to. I have screen protectors, rear under seat vent covers, the sunshades for them windows if I ever want to camp out of the car, I have a trim removal tool to do DIY tasks, and most importantly the Ceramic Shield for the seats that BTG recommends.

I installed PPF myself and I am very happy I did so since I drive long distances on the highway. I'm a very handy person and I will say, I will never install PPF myself again. It can be done, but it's a pain and takes a very long time.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

It is not easy to do

Definitely didn't realise ceramic coating was that easy. Thanks for the heads up!

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

[@davidkaplan5517]

yes but paint correction is what that cost is for, not ceramic coat only

[@ryanmatthew511]

It is NOT. I can assure you if you do it without the entire process, It will not be done right.

[@brenm2389]

Technically, none of these are "essential," but all are nice to have. A big one that you left out is the charger...i wish I had that installed prior to receiving my Tesla. I drove 3 hours to pick it up and 3 hrs back home and had to work the next day at 5 a.m. Supercharger stations were more than twice as much per KWH than my rate at home. I would actually consider having enough ofna charge to make the vehicle operable to be essential.

[@cyen6245]

Thanks for the info. Will be get them for my new Y arriving mid May.

[@jebaker2]

My wife’s car will come in Sept-Nov. I’m not super confident putting PPF on myself. I can barely get the bubbles out of a screen protector half the time. 😂

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Lol I get it

[@mixemup.]

Did u get it do u still have it

[@mina8887]

Beyond cosmetic modifications, I would say that the essentials should include either having a spare tire (ie Modern Spare) or Slime with a tire inflator on hand in the car too. Teslas do not come with a spare! A tow truck is covered by Tesla for the first 50 miles to a service center/tire place but if it is further than that, you have to pay for the rest of the fee. Save yourself the time and headache that comes with a flat and be prepared!

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

I get questions about a spare all the time and never had one in over 2 years now. I did just get one so I’ll be sharing those details soon

[@mina8887]

@@BeardedTeslaGuy perfect! Yes, I've had bad luck with rogue nails on the roads.

[@hc3550]

I got an OEM wheel, put a tire on it, and bought a cheap 1.5 ton used floor jack. Better than an overpriced donut from modern spare

[@dgruenbe]

what would you say is a reasonable price charged by a garage for a PPF service if I don't fancy DIY?

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

I dont know about reasonable, but the quotes I have seen are between 5-7k.

Just got my MY 6/29 but got my accessories since January. Just had to wait for the car itself for another 6 months. 😭 Got my 3D liners ready to use as soon as I got home.

[@nicks7241]

Thanks for the suggestions and tips. One thing I'm trying to find is a recommendation for an external windshield protective product... like PPF for the windshield. Seems like Tesla's glass is more prone to breakage, at least around me. Have you looked for a product and not found one worthy of a review, or haven't you looked?

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

There is a product for that but I have not tried it yet

[@nicks7241]

@@BeardedTeslaGuy have your windshields held up alright?

[@Jethr001]

YES!! I’m in Colorado w/ lot’s of road gravel…anything would help if it actually works.

[@ryanmatthew511]

I think you are right about a lot of things but may not fully understand the ceramic coating process. Even new cars have to be decontaminated before they are coated if you want lasting results. This means proper wash, clay bar and polish first. Very few people will do that properly and mis use of a clay bar and mar up your paint. Coating without decontaminating is a waste of money since you just lock in the contaminants. Maybe it is still better than nothing if you want to save money, but to say its an easy process may be misleading if you want ti done correctly.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Sorry if I didn't make it clear, ceramic is always applied on top of PPF on my cars...

[@HawkGulf]

Does this steering mod void any warranty ?

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Not that I am aware of

[@icedteamama176]

Thanks so much!!! We’re getting PPF this week for front of car and it’s almost $2K. Hopefully we can do ceramic coating ourselves right after the PPF. Ceramic coating for entire car including the windows?

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Ceramic is too easy! And yes you can do windows too

[@2010apap2010]

Have you ever had a Tesla without ceramic coating on the seats to compare? As far as I heard you don’t even need the coating and you can still easily clean the seats with only baby wipes.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

You can clean the seats without ceramic. It’s just another layer of protection from stubborn stains

[@LianJim]

I was looking around for the accessories and now i learnt that i can do PPF and coating myself lol. No wonder so many shops are hard selling ppf and coating, it's such a rip off.

I want to know too. What is the pretreatment that you used?

[@pkerry12]

4:05 ONLY IN AMERICA the standard model doesn't come with floor mats for those of us that don't live in the U.S. ALL tesla model 3's will come with carpet floor mats.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

That’s good to know, thanks for sharing

[@CoralSea]

How you compare ride quality of the model y vs rwd 3? I test drove both and I felt the y has much better ride quality but roads I drove the y on were much smoother than the ones I drove the 3 on. So,it’s hard to tell

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Having had both, the 3 sr was a smoother ride. 3 lr is second, and y is last. Now that I have 18” wheels and beefy tires, my Y is the most comfortable. But you can’t overcome a harsh suspension with only tires.

[@gillchieu]

Did I miss the video/announcement for which Model 3 you ordered/purchased? LR or Performance? Looking forward to your 1,000 miles update/review compared to the SR+

Not telling anyone what to do or maybe anything you don’t already know: Model Y Owner’s Manual->Overview->Touchscreen “CAUTION-- Do not apply a screen protector on the touchscreen. Doing so can result in unintended inputs to the touchscreen (phantom inputs), delayed response or unresponsiveness to touches, electrostatic discharge which can damage the touchscreen, etc. Any damage caused by installing a screen protector is not covered by the warranty.”

By the way, perfect timing for this video…the projected delivery for my MYLR has been stable for almost a month - 7/27-8/31 for my 11/30/21 purchase.

[@rusticroads]

Great video; quick and to the point! 2 questions: 1) Have you tried WeatherTech mats? I'd be curious to see them compared. 2) How do you get the PPF around the logos? Are there cutouts, do you cut them out yourself, or do you go over them and stretch it around the flatter logos (like on the hood)?

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

logo's are cut out in the template so no stretching required. I am not a fan of weather tech mats, but that is just my personal taste.

[@junosmodel3LRchannel]

Weather Tech is too expensive. You can get any thermoplastic elaster mats and they do exactly as intended.

[@ephysics5931]

Every car that we have owned had an overhead handle next to the top of the passenger's window that my wife used to help her get into and out of the vehicle. Each time she gets into my Model Y, she reaches for the handle that isn't there in the Model Y. Is there an aftermarket device that I can install to help her enter and exit the car? (We are both in our mid-80s, so not as athletic as we once were.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

This is a real miss I never thought of until someone said something last year. I take for granted I don’t need one but if I did, that would make it a challenge. I’m not aware of an aftermarket one, but I’m sure someone is working on one.

Great video, Used your code to do the ppf front cap on my 2022 M3 a week after picking it up in December. Was quick a bit of challenge to install the front bumper. I would start with the hood, mirrors, fenders and finally do the bumper and use lots of slip solution. My only advice is if you're looking for perfection, get it done professionally, if not save a huge chunk of money and do it yourself. Be sure to ceramic coat afterwards.

I considered getting roof sun shades for my Tesla model 3 even before I got it a year ago. I'm glad I didn't. I live in an area where it's frequently cloudless and 40 C (104 f) in the summer and I've never felt the need for the roof shades. I do, however, obsessively pre-cool my M3 using the app before getting in it if it's hot out. A front window shade, however, is a must to protect the front interior of the car. Some might argue the same thing for the roof shade but roof shades aren't really meant to be removed at the start of every drive whereas a front window shade is ..... obviously :-) .

Always great advice! lots of great tips - we should be prepared for delivery - when our Model Y AWD 2022/2023 model arrives (EDD pushed to Sept 11 - Oct 23, OD Aug 28, 2021).
