A lot of people have asked me about different products you can buy for your Tesla. Mine is a long-term keeper, so I am looking out for new products to enhance my ownership experience. So it makes sense to review more products!
Taptes sent me these hard wearing all-weather car mats to review. After a month of use, I think they are brilliant!
Another un-named supplier sent me some headlight protection film. It did not go well...

Lovely video! Re. The headlight film, I have put them on mine along with smoke rear light ones. You have to completely spray the film with soapy water front and back so it’s properly wet and then it’ll go on and align properly, then use the squeegee to remove the water and bubbles. Spray the front of the film too so it’s easier to squeegee the water and doesn’t scratch. It’ll then dry and the adhesive will bond to the lights. Let it set for 48 hours before washing the car 😊

This has a comedy factor I love. 😂

You did the lights all wrong. You should have sprayed the film and the light so that the film slipped around on top of the lights so you could position it easily. And then you squeegee out excess moisture

Love your video(s)! Nowadays most youtubers just edit out things that go wrong so that you get the impression you are a clutch when doing stuff like this. Like the Instagram effect. And you can laugh about it. Unlike the other guy I think you are cool enough presenting it with humor. Much appreciated.

Got exact same tube of headlight film, failed to put it on in similar fashion. 😂 I ended up cut a small slit where the DLR is and used sellotape to close the cut. My wife has a great photo of me putting sellotape on a £50k car. 😅 So far, it has survived 2 car washes.

I had PPF put on my headlights and the whole front nose....but I got a professional shop do it so it worked great. (I had the hood and body pillars wrapped at the same time)

Great video, both additions are valuable but I agree the headlight PPF is an absolute pain to get fitted. I ended up soaking mine and not a bad job in the end.

I have these mats. First thing I bought as hate the mats that come with it. Crap gets stuck in it all the time. Have had them for 6 months and been very happy with them - incredibly easy to clean.

I used a heat lamp to warm the head light and also used a hairdryer on high heat while squeegeeing the film. It's still not easy, but a softer more stretchy film helped with the positioning.

I had my headlights done professionally, before watching your effort. 😒 I am so glad I did, as my method of working is very similar to yours

@greghudson9717 5 күн бұрын

G'Day Ian. I also have all weather mats, installed from day one (so I didn't have to vacuum out the car. However, the mats I bought are significantly higher under the drivers footwell. (I notice yours have quite a gap at the top). May I suggest you try some other brands if you can. Yes, I know you get a commission, but there are better solutions out there IMO... I also have a complete wrap for the front of the car, which I have not put on myself after seeing other people's failures (before yours). My plan is to get it done professionally. Regards, Greg.

To pimp it proper you need to put an engine in it! And rather than protecting headlights which are only a grand you should be more concerned about depreciation of that heap..

@keithdenton8386 5 күн бұрын

I opted for smooth rubber mats, rather than the ones you have. Much much easier to clean.

@acelectricalsecurity 5 күн бұрын

I used PPF on my emtb frame and you really need a load of soapy water on it , from what I could see there was nowhere near enough, you were always going to struggle. The water and soap does disappear, also a bit of heat is handy to have, a hair dryer

Model 3 has same escape button in frunk. I'm careful to keep the emergency pack in front of it to stop anything rolling to hit it if I have anything in there.

@kinross24 5 күн бұрын

Need lots and lots of soapy water and squeegee it to sit flat to the curves. It will go. Best on warmer non windy day and even a gentle warm with a hair dryer once played down and helps squeegee out the creases and bubbles. You’re not using enough liquids!!

What is the headlight 'protection' film supposed to do anyway? Seems unlikely to be more resistant than the (presumably) polycarbonate headlight. Maybe it gives some protection over paint, and certainly can change the surface finish, but the headlight has to be clear and is already made from the strongest plastic available (and much thicker).

honestly I had to stop this video because of all the camera swinging about from floor to face was making me feel sick. Time to get a tripod perhaps?

@raymitchell3757 5 күн бұрын

Hi Ian, great video. Do you take on commissions hahaha? Had some rubber mats and boot liner before I took delivery so all installed from day 1 to preserve the interior and no worry about getting in with muddy boots. Have only cleaned the outside of my Y once since Sept 22 so am looking for the accumulated road grime to protect mine.

It’s not the PPF manufacturers fault that you have two left thumbs and can’t replicate the actions on the installation video. You could phone a friend?

Agree with the mental age of a toddler which is probably why I enjoy your mad as a box of frogs videos as they drop when I’m in the garden having a beer which definitely helps! btw you slipped up here by not only mentioning but actually showing bugs on your car. Ian, in this climate change age WE DONT HAVE BUGS ON OUR CARS ANYMORE!!! Your complimentary graudian subscription has ceased herewith I’m getting some of those mats though

So you have to be really really small to fit in the Frounk Well have you forgotten Little adults. They are called children and some of them were killed due to climbing into fridges that could not be opened from the inside. Good game trap your mate in the front for a laugh. I guess that's what the button is for on the inside. Not rocket science is it.

I have had 3 small children at various points. I don’t think I would shut them in there. I’m not sure they would know to push the button if they were shut it there. I think it’s there for US anti carjacking laws
