It is for the USB-C install. You have to pull hard at the centre console surround. What I have noticed is that If you use a pry tool, the gold coloured metal clips gets separated from the surround and remains stuck in the base. So now one side of the surround has a couple of missing clips and the other side is fine because I used brute force on that side!! lesson learnt!!
I used this video as a guide, though he's wrong about using the pry tool (you can actually see the separated metal clips in the video)
I used Tesla Tom's video as a guide to connect the transmitter to the wiring harness.
I have installed a similar one from Tessories (You can get it cheaper elsewhere). Like in the end of the video, the only concern I have is the anti-pinch mechanism leaves a lot to be desired. I tested it with a foam and then the foam stuck on a screwdriver. Didn't care much for the foam, but worked with the screw driver. The bones in your finger won't get crushed, but the skin is another matter.
It looks like a bit more than I'm willing to try. Come on tesla give us a heads up display already
I wasn't going to get anything else until after the car was delivered but I had a moment of weakness last night and ordered the HaloBlk Trunk Mats..
It's getting to the point that the need to sponsor me!
I did a deep dive online and saw that they made catches for the rear door emergency release but I can't see them in any of their stores.

Haha.. That would be awesome.Ask Frank to throw in a usb hub and a haloblk shirt
Don't know what the going rate now is but get a quote from Sam's Window Tinting & Detailing or Lucky Five Motorspot in Sportswood.

My humble opinion here only.
To me, tinting is a means to reduce IR penetration into the cabin. This keeps the cabin cool.
I am not sure if the darkness of the tint is a direct correlation to IR penetration reduction or not, but I do know that price of tint has a direct correlation to the IR reduction capability.
When I had my Model Y done last year (December), there were three options available:
- 12% IR heat rejection/40% Total Solar Energy Rejection for $295.00
- 77% IR heat rejection/61% Total Solar Energy Rejection for $695.00
- 96% IR heat rejection/66% Total Solar Energy Rejection for $990.00
All these were XPel film, which I believe is highly regarded.
I chose the last option. These were all available at Tinthaus, whom I would highly recommend - they did an awesome job on the tint, and PPF on the front/graphene coating on the rest.
Just be aware the ceramic tint has a slight green colour too it.
A question for those that have fitted the soft close frunk mechanism (not Auto Frunk)...
I'm about to pull the trigger and get the on from Tessories but wanted to get your feedback.
I sometimes use the car for food delivery (Uber Eats / Doordash) and put stuff in the frunk to keep the smell out of the car.
This can become problematic as I have to close the frunk 10-20 times a day.

The 96% I suspect is a bit of a furphy.
Does it refer to the entire IR spectrum or just one part of the IR spectrum - ie the part of the spectrum they are measuring.
The 66% is more believable.
Is it keeping the heat out in your experience? Does the color have blue or green hue as people say or not noticeable?
There are existing threads on this already.
My review of mine is here: Why you should skip the powered frunk and grab a Satonic soft close frunk

Good question! Yes - but a caveat - a few weeks after having all this work done, a hailstorm put the car off the road, so my testing on it in terms of heat rejection etc has been limited: Model Y windscreen and roof glass replacement, hail damage repair
If it's still the same as 2021, it was a 128GB USB key.
I don't think there's any limit anyone has found on the size you can replace it with. The most reliable device to replace it with is an SSD, like a Samsung T7.
