Intro
The video introduces the refreshed Tesla Model 3 "Highland" and its new interior features, such as a rear entertainment screen, front seat controls, an RGB light strip, ventilated seats, and updated carbon fiber dashboard. The presenter, Mike Seuss, aims to demonstrate how to replicate these features in older Model 3 and Model Y vehicles using aftermarket upgrades. He also acknowledges Hansshow as the sponsor of the video, highlighting their history and product range since 2018. Links to the products are available in the video description.
Air Vent RGB Light Strip
The presenter installs Hansshow's air vent light strip to replicate the ambient lighting of the Model 3 Highland. The installation involves removing the trim and dashboard using included tools, inserting the light strip into the air vent and the mini light strip into the wireless charging pad, and running the wiring to the rear air vent. The light strip features 64 colors, multiple modes, and brightness adjustment via a mobile app. It consumes low power and illuminates upon opening the doors.
Real Carbon Fiber Dashboard Cover
The video demonstrates how to mimic the carbon fiber dashboard of the Model 3 Performance using Hansshow's carbon fiber dashboard cover. The installation process includes cleaning the original dashboard with an adhesion promoter, peeling off the 3M tape backing, and sticking the cover onto the dashboard. This upgrade enhances the car's sporty feel.
Air Ventilated Breathable Seat Covers
The presenter installs Hansshow's ventilated seat covers to add a cooling feature to older Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. The installation involves strapping the cover around the headrest, tucking in anchor points, clipping the bottom half onto the seat, and plugging it into the 12V outlet. The seat covers are made of premium leather and can be controlled manually or automatically. They are available in colors to match Tesla seats and do not interfere with airbags.
H86 Rear Entertainment Screen
The video demonstrates the installation of Hansshow's H86 Android rear entertainment screen, which allows rear passengers to stream videos, play games, and control the climate. The installation process includes removing the rear air vent cover, bridging the OBD connection with the included wiring harness, connecting the wiring to the screen, and attaching the screen to the air vent. The screen features an 8.6-inch display, an 8-core CPU, 64GB of storage, built-in dual speakers, Wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. It also unlocks a feature that turns the adjustable lumbar support into massaging front seats.
Wireless Seat Adjustment Remote Control
The presenter discusses the chauffeur mode feature from the Model 3 Highland, which allows rear passengers to adjust the front passenger seat. Hansshow offers two options to replicate this: using the H86 rear entertainment screen or installing a wireless seat adjustment remote control button. The installation involves connecting a harness to the computer module inside the seat and to the harness in the right foot well. The remote can then be used to wirelessly control the seat.
