Since joining the Tesla family in January of 2016, I've wondered how some of the aftermarket products fit. This is my first review of such a product, the EVAnnex.com center console.

EVAnnex was one of the first companies to start making aftermarket upgrades for Tesla cars. They have a great blog and even a couple books. If you're a Tesla Model S or X owner, I think you'd like what you find on their site. The family that runs the business are actual Tesla owners and fans. They are honest and helpful (in my experience) when you have questions. I highly recommend checking them out, and no, I wasn't paid to say that.

// What is a Tesla Model S? (wikipedia.org)
The Tesla Model S is a full-sized all-electric five-door, luxury liftback, produced by Tesla Inc., and introduced in June 2012.[10] It scored a perfect 5.0 NHTSA automobile safety rating, and, as of March 2017, the P100D variant holds the record for the fastest acceleration of any production vehicle from a standstill to 60 mph in Motor Trend tests.[11] The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official range for the 2012 Model S Performance model equipped with an 85 kWh (310 MJ) battery pack is 265 miles (426 km), higher than any other electric car at the time.[12][13][14] EPA rated its energy consumption at 237.5 watt-hours per kilometer (38 kWh/100 mi or 24 kWh/100 km) for a combined fuel economy of 89 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (2.64 L/100 km or 107 mpg‑imp).[12][15]
In 2016, Tesla updated the design of the Model S to closely match that of the Model X. As of January 2017, the following versions are available: 60, 60D, 75, 75D, 90D and P100D. Owners of the earlier 70 and 70D Model S have the option to unlock the 75 kWh capacity via a software update, adding up to 19 miles (31 km) per charge.[16] The 60 and 60D Model S, reintroduced in June 2016, have a US$9,000 option to unlock the full 75 kWh capacity via a software update any time after purchase.[17] In August 2016, Tesla introduced the P100D as the new top-level model. The P100D model has a 100 kWh battery, a 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) time of 2.28 seconds, and over 300 miles (485 km) of EPA rated range.[18]
The Model S became the first electric car to top the monthly new car sales ranking in any country, twice leading in Norway, in September and December 2013;[19][20][21][22] and also in Denmark in December 2015.[23] Global Model S sales passed the 150,000 unit milestone in November 2016, with the U.S. as the leading market with 57% of global sales.[24] Other leading country markets are Norway, China, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Canada, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland.[25][26]
The Tesla Model S has ranked as the world's best-selling plug-in electric car for two years in a row, 2015 and 2016.[26][27] The Model S also ranked as the top selling plug-in electric car in the U.S. for two years running, 2015 and 2016.[28] As of December 2016, the Model S is the world's second best selling plug-in electric car in history after the Nissan Leaf.[29]
// What is a Tesla Model X? (wikipedia)
The Tesla Model X is a full-sized, all-electric, luxury, crossover SUV made by Tesla Inc. that uses falcon wing doors for access to the second and third row seats. The prototype was unveiled at Tesla’s design studios in Los Angeles on February 9, 2012.[6] The Model X has an official EPA rated 237-289 mi (381-465 km) range,[3] and the combined fuel economy equivalent and energy consumption for the AWD P90D was rated at 89 mpg-e (23 kWh/100 km or 39 kWh/100 mi).[7]

[@GoodwinPhotoBlog]

We were looking into getting one, they are pretty cool... I dont know if they are $500 cool tho. The wife asks... what's a Tezla?

[@Funsickled]

No chrome colored ring on the cup holder! Ah, not too big a deal. 😊

[@BenSullinsOfficial]

:)

[@elenaluleova9274]

5:43 "Cords sticking out..." Gosh! It's 21-st century and we still have no el. cars WITH Qi-enabled pads OEM installed into the center console ! Bravo !!! ;-/

[@thebooj1]

Ben - I've been watching your channel for a couple weeks now. I love the content and I've learned so much from you and your data sources. I knew you were legit but wearing Cardinal Red just reassures I'm watching greatness. Haha. Keep up the good work and Go Cards!!!!

[@BenSullinsOfficial]

+thebooj1 haha thanks!

[@schade12]

Where can I buy this console

[@vrgs1385]

I don't know why everybody says these things are great! Trust me that thing is far from what you would get from Tesla. I bought that exact one and thought it was junk so I paid the return shipping and got my money back (Never been happier to lose $100 worth of shipping). I was patient and waited until I found one of Teslas older premium drop in center console's used on eBay for $650 and haven't looked back. That thing is junk in comparison to the older version of teslas console that I have. Trust me I've had them both and you will be much happier with Teslas! Now Tesla also makes the newer integrated center console But it is like $1300 installed and I wasn't willing to pay that. But I am completely happy with mine. If you keep your eyes out on Tesla motor club they pop up at least a couple times a week.

[@leopadresnow]

Totally agree.

[@SnailzRus]

Not a huge deal, but it's E-V-Annex not even-X

[@sjbaker85]

Are you still using the CCI?

[@natesbuck]

You never showed the tray once installed... Especially how well it fits, how it slides and how well the magnet holds. (I need something like that... My sunglasses always fly out of that shelf when I punch it ;-)

[@BenSullinsOfficial]

Stay tuned! Should have that review next week. Also, they have a sunglasses clip that might be easier if you checkout their site.

[@jarredcox6714]

At first i didnt see the kid but once i did i was thinking thats one badass. Why we may never know maybe it was the car

[@BenSullinsOfficial]

He def is a badass :)

[@kcroeder]

[@SparkyDevil25]

[@kayvan07]

It looks horrible. I know they are the sponsors of yours. But I would not want you to put your great reputation online for such a bad product ;-)
