Tesla Model Y Convert with a Few Questions

[Feliks]

Thanks. This is helpful. I will check out posts from @DevSecOps. As it relates to accessories, I was looking to start with more internal accessories. For example, storage organization, passenger wireless charging solution, maybe door panel trash receptacles, stuff like that.

You can check out https://ev-vida.store/ for a bunch of internal accessories. They have some really good organizers storage, dash, and luggage area.

I second @AOSK and EV-Vida. @twraps makes a wireless charger. ??

Unlike most here, I ran wiring from my FitcamX to the fuse box. It isn’t all that hard. If you use a battery back-up unit, you can have any dashcam on all the time. ??

Congrats and welcome! Just picked up my ‘24 Premium last weekend. Loving it so far!

I initially had issues with the wireless charging for my iPhone 15 Pro Max. After reading through this forum, I decided to try the TWRAPS solution mentioned here. Custom fit - and adds the dual wireless charging you mentioned. I wasn’t keen on the $99 price, but picked it up anyway. I think it’s worth it!

That said - was perusing MME accessories on Amazon today and noticed that the exact unit I just purchased less than a week ago is now on sale for $69! So I put in a return for the one I just bought and ordered another one. I’ll just return the new one unopened and save the $30.

Anyone who’s been on the fence about this - might be a great time to scoop one up! ?

Hi. New to the forum and this amazing car. I have a 2024 Mach-E Premium and I'm loving this vehicle. However, coming from a Model Y, I have a few questions and would like some support and hear from you. First, I'm use to finding a variety of aftermarket accessories for the Model Y. I've not found many offerings from my web searches. Any recommendations? Second, the primary reasons I purchased a Tesla was because of the charging network and sentry mode. Now, that the Mach-E can use the Tesla charging network (if I need/chose to use it), I'm not as concerned, but the sentry mode is a big loss. As an alternative, is it worth installing front and rear dashcam OR do you thing Ford will activate a sentry mode with future a Sync update leveraging the existing 5 cameras? Finally, anyone have any pics of their radar detector setup? I'm not comfortable with popping off the panels to hide the cable that goes into the usb in front of the phone charging plate. Right now, I have the cable following the seam down the right side of the screen (not bad at the moment) but would like a cleaner look. Any advice on any and/or all is appreciated.

I really like this armrest storage box organizer

Thanks @kens. I appreciate it!

Here are the promised photos. Seems to be picking up well in this spot, but haven't had it up long.

There are a few threads I have seen over the past few years from people who have installed dashcams. You can integrate one into the rearview mirror assembly. Do a search on the forum, or maybe someone who has done it will respond. I know @DevSecOps did it a few years ago, but he sold his MME and bought a Rivian. Search for his threads and maybe you can find it.

As far as accessories go, what are you looking for? I replaced my front and rear sway bars, installed a tow bar/hitch, replaced the rearview mirrors with Suma mirrors and added a subwoofer. What do you want to do? There are many other accessories I have seen people add that I have not added.

definitely SUMA mirrors

definitely SUMA mirrors

Well, that is true. I installed your mirrors and really, really like them. They expand the field of view, and they are much clearer than the OEM mirrors. I do wish I had not gotten the blue tinted ones, but I got used to that as well.

They are still on the car I traded in for my R1T. Hopefully the new owner likes them as much as I did!

I'm sure the SUMA mirrors were a pleasant surprise for the new owner!. On a different note, we also have SUMA mirrors on Rivian
