Tesla Takeover 2022: America’s Biggest Tesla Community Event!

Best Tesla Model 3/Y Accessories:

TapTes Floor Mat Bundle + Frunk Mat
These all-weather floor mats are the best budget-friendly alternative to the popular 3DMaxpider mats. They’re made with a waterproof TPE material that is odorless and non-toxic. The mats are comfortable for long drives and have raised edges to protect from dirt and spills and are lightweight, making them easy to remove for cleaning.

Spigen Screen Protector (DIY Alternative)

You definitely want to protect the most important part of the interior which is the touchscreen, and this screen protector from Spigen is a must if you want to get a perfect fail-proof fit when installing it. It has a matte anti-glare finish with fingerprint resistance.

Center Console Trays
3-piece tray set comes with a center Console Tray, an Armrest Storage Box Tray, and an Armrest Hidden Storage Box for optimal organization for all the small items you keep in your car.

Moldable Glue
My preferred position for Autopilot/FSD is to put my hand at the bottom of the steering wheel on either side but doing this for long periods of time is uncomfortable on my finger because the inside of the wheel is sharp. This moldable glue smooths out the surface to make it comfortable.

Paint Protection Film
Since electric vehicles have very small grilles compared to gas cars, it leaves the front paint more susceptible to rock chips and paint damage so for both my Model 3 and Model Y I took them into a professional auto detailing shop to get PPF installed for long lasting paint protection.

Tesla Mobile Connector
Must-have for charging your car at home or when you travel.

Cable Holder/Organizer
This cable holder/organizer is more affordable than Tesla’s version and is easy to install. Use it to wrap the excess cable around and as a place to hold the charger for a more organized home charging setup.

Cleaning Kit
Biodegradable nontoxic cleaners from TesBros include exterior car wash shampoo, exterior waterless wash, glass cleaner, and all purpose interior cleaner which is safe to use on all Tesla surfaces/fabrics to keep your Tesla looking great.

Safety Tool
Model Y rear doors do not have an easily accessible manual door open latch like the front doors so in the case of an emergency with power loss you’ll want this Resqme 2-in-1 safety & survival tool that allows you to cut a jammed seatbelt and to break a side window.

Camera Covers
All Teslas have interior cabin cameras that are used for monitoring drivers for Full Self Driving, but if you don’t have FSD and want to maximize privacy then these camera covers allow you to quickly block/unblock the camera.

Sunshade
This has two layers of light blocking fabric for maximal light & heat insulation in hot weather and is custom fit for the Model 3/Y. It stays in place with a simple velcro strap and by flipping down the sun visors.

DeskWedge (10% discount code: SLYE)
Place this inside your steering wheel opening and it gives you a small sturdy surface that will allow you to type on a laptop. It also fits nicely into the center console area for storage when not in use.

Go20 Portable Cooler ($50 discount code AndyCooler)
This electric cooler can be plugged into a 12v socket and act as a mini fridge to keep things cold without ice. It has dual temperature controls, and it fits nicely in the Model Y sub trunk area so this is great if you camp or tailgate a lot.

Self Inflating Mattress ($10 discount code: AndySIM)
This was designed to fit the shape of the Model Y & can fit in the Model Y sub trunk area or frunk. It sleeps 2 adults, self-inflates in under 3 minutes, and comes with a rechargeable air pump to add extra air when inflating or to help deflate the mattress.

Tesla Project Loveday – “Your Sun”

This is my video entry for the Tesla Project Loveday contest.

If you enjoyed, please subscribe to my tech channel.

Here’s all the camera gear I used to make this video.

Filming this was an adventure! Here’s the story of what happened and how I almost wasn’t able to get it done…

As soon as Tesla announced the Project Loveday contest in March I started envisioning the story line of the video. I knew I wanted to make it a personal story that would lead into and ultimately end with the Tesla vision in the viewer’s mind.

However, there was one huge roadblock I faced.

I don’t own a Tesla yet nor do I personally know anyone who owns a Tesla. I needed footage of a Tesla vehicle or I wouldn’t be able to fulfill my vision for this video. I reached out to a stranger (friend of a friend of a friend) and asked if I could meet up with him to get some footage.

No response.

With the deadline creeping up, I decided to camp out at my local Tesla Supercharger for a few hours on a Saturday in April and try my luck on anyone who happened to stop in and charge their Tesla. I got to the Supercharger and literally 10 minutes after arriving I spotted a blue Model X pulling in to one of the charging stations.

As I looked over at it I thought “Wow, what are the odds”. I had never even seen a Model X in person before that. I started to unpack my camera equipment from the backseat of my car, and while I was unloading I heard someone talking to me.

I turned around and it was the blue Model X. The couple inside said “Sir, are we in your way? We saw you looking at us and we thought you were a photographer working for Tesla on a photoshoot or something.”

I laughed and said “No, as a matter of fact I was just about to come ask if you would be willing to help me out.” I explained that I was a Model 3 reservation holder and that I was filming a video for the Tesla Project Loveday contest. I asked if they would be willing to let me get footage of their car. I thought they were going to turn me down.

Nope.

Not only were they willing, but they were ecstatic to let me get footage of their Model X (the one you see at the end of the video). They even let me sit in the driver seat and showed me all the cool features of the car. Complete strangers going out of their way to help me, and even if I don’t win the contest, knowing that I’m joining the Tesla family with people like that is worth it in the end.

I respected their wish to not be on camera, but I want to give a huge shoutout to Marshall and Chanell for making my video possible. THANK YOU!

This video was written, filmed, and edited by me – Andy Slye (with some help from my girlfriend Jamie who has some super awesome handwriting and cat-holding skills, and my sister Brittney who starred as our younger mom, spot on impression if I do say so myself. THANK YOU)

Obviously I couldn’t have done it without my parents who have always supported and encouraged me to do what I want in life. And to anyone else who has helped me along the way, thank you. You’re very much appreciated.
