What the heck was going on at the end? 🤣

[@tonyc6996]

Saves you 2 minutes of you day. 🤘🙂

[@lasherdj]

You gave to many beans coming out of the parking lot! Hahahaha

[@pato810]

The video got put into track mode. 🤣

[@rud]

I am impressed that KZbin could make subtitles for it.

[@kyleb8117]

The coffee kicked in. ☕

[@robertnyahay7482]

Damn kyle your a fast talker!!!

[@don.newlon]

Great vid about what seems like a very cool product. Especially liked the high speed ending. Sometimes I watch videos at 1.25 to save time. No need on the Out of Spec - automatically giving me time back!

[@Alexdiaz727]

I watch a lot of stuff at 2x and when the ending hit I was confused why I couldn't follow what he was saying for like 10 seconds before I realized it was speed up. lol

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Thanks for the review Kyle! Didn't know Track Mode works on KZbin playback speed to, haha. To all - slowing down the playback after 14:33 makes it understandable again. Check out more about the buttons at enhauto.com.We would love to answer all the questions you might have about them!

[@brandenflasch]

I would want a bunch of these and a label maker

[@Chrisb8s]

It would be cool to have a button in the back so that the back seat passengers could put the seat heater on In the back seats

[@OutofSpecMotoring]

Great idea!

[@AbstractOcean]

Coming very soon!

[@stuartdealing5940]

This is already available, had them controlling outer rear seat heaters for a couple of months on my M3P

[@DanielBula1964]

Great video, I learned to use the video speed button on KZbin. Keep up the good work!

[@almoyes3758]

Do Sexy Buttons have a vacuum cleaner function? You certainly need it!

[@Robert-pm6bm]

That strawberry açaí drink must have kicked in at the end

[@allanjdmsissons4237]

Great video Kyle keep up the great content I really enjoy your road trip video

[@porkupine4565]

These buttons helped me address the two missings in my model y. I want to change windshield wiper speed and heat fan speed without taking my eyes off the road. Hide them behind the steering column and you dont even see them. Great product.

[@lenimbery7038]

The best thing about the company is that they have regular updates to their software and they have responsive customer service

[@cypvh74]

How is it a heads up dashboard display if it’s on your phone? My phone sits on the wireless charge pad.

[@MrAlfable]

Yeah I was trying to figure out if I missed something here.

[@simonthebroken9691]

I'm a button guy. It's amazing. All of my "ancient" vehicles have buttons that don't change with updates. Don't get me wrong, I love what Tesla is doing. I'm form follows function. I can't stand the minimalist interior. Looks good, but makes no sense.

[@MrKlawUK]

these are cute but I’d actually consider a ‘button box’ like racing sim players would buy/build, wired into the OBD port for specific features. lights/wipers/seat heating etc

[@matthewp1682]

Atleast the climate controls should be buttons and knobs.

[@fredrikfjeld1575]

​@@matthewp1682 I hardly ever adjust the climate controls, other than to defrost the window. Heated seats though? That is changed constantly. Hated how the Ioniq 5 did that. Garbage solution. Why add buttons that then forces you to adjust with the touch screen anyways? It is the worst of both worlds. So a button for heated seats might be nice, as well as an easier access to the frunk. If that half open door handles works with newer cars, or that you can half open back door to end charging, then it would be worth it on its own.

[@YannR34]

It makes an economic sense for margin.

[@cadriver2570]

It's about time somebody made this.

[@hassaanmalik1015]

I love these videos

[@GXDoubleX]

Well, this video sold a set of SEXY buttons to me. Looking forward to giving rear seat passengers their own seat heater controls.

[@RobertHanna]

Great video. Especially when the video got put into track mode at the end.

[@MMMetal001]

Really so awesome product

[@xmiller7691]

Now they need to create a "sexy knob" - to adjust cabin heat, control audio volume etc.

[@TroyMeekhof]

The 50% door handle activations blew my mind. That would be so helpful.

[@ismaelcarrillo3956]

Never knew about it. Liked the 50% better than the 3 seconds

[@thomasjacques5286]

And just when I thought I was done buying accessories for my 2020 Y....... Thanks Kyle

[@OurTeslaModelXJourney]

I don't have a need on our X or Y, but it is kindof neat. I've never missed a real button. Love the product name!

[@plexi3d]

Dude, keep this beauty.

[@TRYtoHELPyou]

This is the best

[@aaazzzoaoa]

Oh Wow, this thing could turned off the regen fully? That would be a killer selling point

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Yes! Coasting mode on :)

[@altjx]

Is the short honk like a courtesy honk? Very curious to hear his this sounds.

[@LysanderLH]

I have these in my Model 3. Once you have 6 of these in your Tesla, you’ll realise how ridiculous not having buttons was.

[@dscarty]

Nice product and certainly valuable if you need buttons. Most of the stuff you need to do can be done with voice commands. Might take a little practice to get the right commands but works well. I had voice commands in a Mazda. Tesla’s VCs are much better.

[@MichaelPusateri]

Looks like the Powerhouse building in FoCo, near where my daughter lives. I've charged my Model Y there when we've visited.

[@natedoeswork]

Can you program to check tire pressure?

[@thomasbihn]

Im frustrated there isn't a 2018 Model 3 connection video anywhere for this. My splitter harness has connectors for smaller connectors and I do not know how to connect these.

[@myharryface]

I thought I was having a medical emergency at the end.

[@aviduser1961]

I find the voice commands to work pretty well. They don't control everything, but I use them for glove box, HVAC, wipers and am still learning new commands. Personally, I love the minimalistic look of the M3 and will not be adding anything that is visible.

[@dennisschlieckau8723]

Kyle, I'd definitely get this IF they had a feature that popped the Drivers door from their app. This feature would be very usable during winter months when frozen door handles can be an issue.

[@oibruv]

Voilá

[@AshTag]

They do have this feature now

[@dennisschlieckau8723]

@@AshTag Thank you, I am aware Tesla added the door popping feature to their App. Other third party app makers are incorporating it as a feature including access to each door, not just the Drivers door.

[@ML-hf6ii]

can I disable TC with those buttons in long range models?

[@DSTESLA]

Hey guys, Can you confirm if it’s true that the tray in the center console and the botton that’s located in the front passenger seat that’s used to adjust the lower middle area in your back. no longer comes with the 2022 model Y vehicles. I took delivery on March,11,2022 for a 2022 LR AWD MODEL Y. Yesterday I told Tesla that I’m missing the tray in the center console along with the botton on the front passenger as well. My delivery center said that both no longer comes with the vehicle. Do you know if it’s true?

[@kyleh4858]

Cool... my sub-conscious picked up everything at the end.

[@poseidon129266]

It would be nice to give each backseat passengers their own seat heater button.

[@jacksonbangs6603]

That is how the rear passenger seat heater works in my 2015 Nissan Leaf.

[@stuartdealing5940]

The function is already available

[@noworries272]

Does disconnecting the OBD connector hinder other functions in the car?

[@alpost2288]

Would love if you tested a Tesla with the S3XY snow-mode/off-road in icy conditions. See how well having both motors being used plus no regen would help.

[@SeaGoat67]

No link to buy them?

[@darmou]

Windscreen wipers settings would be awesome! I found out coming soon….

[@AbstractOcean]

Should be within a couple of weeks. As long as (on the screen) wipers are set to auto, the button will toggle through 1-2-3-4-off-auto.

[@darmou]

@@AbstractOcean Would be nice to have a button for 1 another for 2 etc as an option because often times you want to go right to 3 if it start raining very heavy all of a sudden for example. But I guess it's better than nothing ....

[@AbstractOcean]

@@darmou Agreed. There's a few use-cases building up for the 'set it to 11 now!' scenario. Obvious ones are the A/C, either max heat or max cold depending on the weather (maybe tied to seat heaters), wipers would be another. The Enhance guys have a never-ending to-do list, so sometimes delivering the first iteration of the function that can be improved upon is better than waiting for perfection, especially when Tesla up-ends things with UI changes.

[@stevedowler2366]

The glovebox one would be very useful (I haven't gotten these gadgets ... yet). My wife would like to open the box without asking me to punch the buttons or reaching 'way over to do it herself. so I'd stick that one over on that side, maybe right on the face of the box. Other functions may come to mind later. Maybe we could ask Enhance to add some features we think would be nice. How about a few custom settings of climate controls like increase cabin temperature plus turn on defrosters all at once. Maybe I'll try these things but hide the buttons to keep down the cluttered look.

[@Carl_in_AZ]

At 14:31 adjust your KZbin playback speed to 0.5 to better understand what was said. The lack of buttons is a big complaint in Tesla, unlike other EV manufacturers. I like the idea of S3XY buttons.🔼🔼🔼

[@Korruptor711]

I remember watching the Micro Machines commercials when the guy would talk fast. Looks like a great product

[@blaskotron]

They took adjusting of regen off of the newer models. Does this override that or is it only for older models?

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

S3XY Buttons can control the Regen on the newer cars too 😉

[@cypvh74]

Can it be programmed to save the dashcam videos?

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Currently no, sorry.

[@Kelvynator]

Telsa should make a vacuum cleaner soon. 😂

[@scottg25]

I just got my gen 2 buttons and sadly found out the wiper speed controller functions have been taken away for the 0.5 increments in wiper speed. This was the main feature I wanted because I live in a rainy environment. Everyone please reach out to the developers and ask them to enable the incremental wiper speed functions once again. It's in the UI but the wipes only actually move to the 4 speeds and auto. Please help us get this back. Thanks for your support.

[@StevenSato]

Whoa, will regen +/- work on a Model Y which does not have the ability to achieve this in the "presented" software? I was so bummed when Model Y shipped without this, yet my Model 3 friends had this ability inside the software. Thanks Kyle! ps, a quick drive mode selection, chill to standard is SO helpful. If Tesla did the "kick down" feature on many euro vehicles we could be in chill mode but access the full power at the end of the accelerator pedal. Prime example is e-golf.

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Yes, the buttons can control the Regen of the newer cars too and Yes, we are planning to release a Smart Action called Kick Down which switches from to sport 🙂

[@StevenSato]

Amazing for those who want this!

[@HumbertoYi0878]

So one button “open glovebox” (on the steering wheel) replaced with one button that opens glove box. I kinda get it I guess, maybe great for people who hate the voice commands?

[@brendykes6599]

When you lose cell signal the voice commands don’t work

[@andu896]

How do you replace the battery on the remote?

[@williampeake2843]

Maybe I fail to see the point of these buttons. Why would I want to stick 6 buttons all over my car and then have to remember what function I had assigned to each button, sounds sort of tacky to me. I’ll admit that they do seem to work as advertised, but why not just push the button (scroll wheel) on the steering wheel and use voice commands which cover almost all the same commands as the buttons do, it’s like having a hundred or so buttons without the cost or clutter.

[@TheJAMF]

I've bought (and received) these, with regen+ and - planned behind the wheel. Planned, because I'm waiting for my Model Y from Berlin (since February '21). Another button on the centre console for the hazard lights, because overhead is not a common spot for everyone.

[@HalveticaNeue]

This is coming from a current EV6 owner - but this is the exact reason why I decided to give up my Model Y reservation for the EV6. It boggles my mind why you should have to pay for buttons on a $83K+ car (in Canada this is the current price of an AWD long range Y)

[@woodyww]

Uhhhh, my KIA EV6 has buttons and all the same functionality and more.

[@ManuNarang]

Thanks a lot, didn't know Kia made cars with buttons.

[@welfiblablabla]

For me it would be great if you could unlock the charge port (unlock the cable)

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Yes, you can unlock the cable with a button or with the Door Handle smart action.

[@welfiblablabla]

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets Your site states that doorhandle activation may not work for cars built aftrr March 21, is there a way of checking compatibility (before ordering a set)?

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

@@welfiblablabla Door handle functions work but they are triggered with a Long Pull instead of the Half Press (which was the odiginal function we created)

[@welfiblablabla]

For a world that prides itself on its green creds, that sure is a ridiculous amount of packaging for a little tiny thing.

[@nc3826]

Fanboi's best friend ;)

[@jeffreyspencer4005]

Cool but wouldn't be necessary if Tesla just did the right thing and included some buttons in the controls for commonly used stuff. This just seems tedious and remedial to me. That's why a Teslas isn't on my shopping list anymore. That, and the numerous issues.

[@sunnyzhang7475]

While Tesla notoriously lack physical buttons, and adding those can really be convenient, this seriously raise the concern of security and safety. What is the defense line that prevent it from controlling door lock, throttle, break, steering, either through a button or to put it more scary, remotely?

[@2kMario]

Tesla should make their own control bar and add it as an options

[@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726]

Do these buttons work from outside the car, too?

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Yes, they work but the car should be awake. If you leave it for the night the car falls asleep and cuts off the power to our device. Have in mind also that some of the buttons don't work if the car is locked so it should be unlocked first.

[@ememal6781]

Nice. Do you need to have Tesla Performance with Track mode to bee able to activate the regen adjustment with the S3XY Buttons?

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Regen function works on all models even on the newer 3 and Y which don't have this setting in the menu, no need of a performance model for this feature

[@aaazzzoaoa]

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets Nice this is such a killer selling point, I really don't care more battery consumption but a smooth driving experience, hopefully this won't brake the warranty

[@Plexipal]

Set playback speed to 50%. Problem solved👌

[@allenpickett5307]

Can you do it for autopilot

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Yes with the latest update!

[@henrycruz45cal]

You dont have to go two menus deep to open the glove box or have to go to the menu for... just press one button and say 'open glive box'

[@Miata822]

People's response to the Lucid clearly shows that they like real buttons for core functions. Tesla using the screen for everything seems like a pure money saving move to me, feels cheap.

[@AbstractOcean]

Tesla would argue there's nothing they can't do in the software, but, even having a few software-defined real buttons would go a long way to making everyone happy.

[@teslafudge1585]

Track mode, but can you put it in Dyno mode?

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Currently no, but we might add this to the roadmap if there are people that actually what this

I'd like to order my buttons à la mode.

[@SovKnight]

Damn that's a lot of doggo hair...

[@NaughtyGoatFarm]

Holey Doghair Batman! Can you program a button to vacuum your car?

[@pauld6967]

A S3XY button to allow me to go from Chill to Sport while driving,...that alone would be worth getting them. I would have an actual button to pusb while saying "Activate Turbo Boost!!!!" The ability to alter regenerative braking is also a good thing.

[@ismaelcarrillo3956]

@7:50 you can just use the voice command to open glove box

[@Glenn-the-Gray]

Who said I would never use that Evilynn Wood Speed Listening course? 🙂

[@user-lt7xe2gt2k]

Tesla needs to get beyond their ideology and add a few buttons to their cars for the convenience of the driver.

[@ismaelcarrillo3956]

Have you noticed any buttons on your smartphone? No. That's because button features can't be updated. So your power and volume button will be no more than that.

[@daviidfm923]

So basically Tesla is selling you a button that should have been on the car at launch…. Smart I guess.

[@CDN_Store]

It's not made by Tesla

[@stevem3439]

Sexy buttons also make the driver soeak 2x faster if required 😂

[@donswier]

We prefer the "low" production values👍 Emphasis on info, with no energy wasted on pizzazz. All steak. No sizzle

[@jacksonbangs6603]

All steak no sizzle sounds like overcooked burnt steak that would taste horrible. I like my steak with some sizzle.

[@YannR34]

It's so funny to see a guy rediscovering the utility of some buttons like if if was something incredible. I hope your trick for the opening of the frunk won't work if the car is not unlocked.

[@bepowerful2160]

But so many of these functions are voice commands now.

[@famnaff5136]

Voice commands

[@CncObsession]

Keep pressing Tesla publicly for first layer controls! Most fans in the forums think your too old if you want convenience. You shouldnt need climate control on only to enjoy the heated seats. Pisses me off to have to go thru that each time. Nothing wrong with a few analog controls.

[@cypvh74]

I registered a safety complaint with NHTSA about the UI changes in V11.

[@daviidfm923]

I’m not very old and I prefer my Jeep Grand Cherokees load of buttons over my Tesla. Don’t get me wrong I love the screen and what it can do. I just don’t like that fact I have to risk my life to do simple tasks while driving.

[@itsanumolu]

I would love this for the Ioniq 5 to have heated/ventilated seats as buttons

[@dono4579]

Tesla could create these “buttons” virtually… similar to the iPhone. You don’t need the physical button, just quick programmable icons on the Home Screen. A Tesla software upgrade could add a programmable swipe down menu with all your favorite functions. Just like my iPhone …I swipe down to go to airplane mode or screen record (although not programmable on the iPhone) Come on Tesla … make a programmable swipe down menu for all the options users want. Let me know if you think this would work.

[@tonyc6996]

I love how all these accessory companies keep coming up with fixes to Tesla's faults...then Tesla implements them a year later. Would be a great idea to have a few OEM programmable buttons attached to the back of the screen. Great placement idea was expecting them to clutter the dash lol

[@ismaelcarrillo3956]

You can activate all these features through the voice command on the steering wheel.

[@ismaelcarrillo3956]

Also you don't need to be switching out 6 batteries every so often

[@robertdavidsanders]

My OCD kicked into high gear with that filthy interior. LOL!

Agreed. The dog fur drives me crazy!

[@BenFenner]

Track-mode requires vehicle in park? Woof.

[@Skyrimshowtime]

14:32 video sped up

[@EwanV]

Ok, so basically, the centre console needs programmable buttons on it, just a bar or row of buttons, somewhere on the screen, you can programme.

[@PeteLenz]

While I appreciate the short cut these offer, there’s something completely lacking from a design standpoint that these things just randomly stick anywhere on the car. And the shape is just discordant.

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Hi Pete, the shape is inspired by SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule (black and white color too). We wanted not just another round button. We have different designs that might come out with v2 of the buttons for people like you with different taste. Anyway, you can always hide the button and keep the functionality for quick, safe, and easy access.

[@garyclark6747]

The minimalistic fix. 😏 Isn’t this anti anti-minimalist? 🤨 Didn’t know there was a need. 🤷🏻

[@ezpoppy55]

I’m 66 years OLD, have a 2021 Tesla Model 3 SR+, and I LOVE the absence of buttons, dials, knobs, switches, sliders, cranks, and all that other crap. BTW, I have opened up my Model 3’s glovebox exactly twice in the year I’ve had the car (to put in new docs). The touchscreen and the scroll wheels on the steering wheel are all I need. Or want. My wife got her EV a few months after I got mine. She found that her range anxiety was silly, and she loves her EV. But she didn’t like the minimalist interior of Tesla. She wanted a UI that was more traditional. Her solution? Buy a VW ID.4! It’s got all sorts of buttons, switches, sliders, dials, and other geegaws (remember, I’m old). My own advice when asked is this: if you like permanent buttons, etc., and you don’t like changes or updates to your car - DON’T BUY A TESLA!!! Because that interior tells you what this car is all about - change. I say, bring it on, Tesla!

[@ismaelcarrillo3956]

Just to be fair to all non Tesla owners. All these features can be done using the voice command button on the steering wheel. Don't want to discredit Tesla.

[@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets]

Not all of them 😉 and voice is not always the best and the quickes way to do it.
