Why I Don't Recommend Windshield Protection Film (HDR 60p)
In this video, I share my experience with windshield protection film on my Tesla Model Y. If you own a Tesla or any car, you might be considering this type of protection to avoid windshield chips and cracks. Spoiler alert: I do not recommend it, and here's why. From initial installation issues like the orange peel distortion to long-term problems such as scratches from windshield wipers, I'll show you why this investment might not be worth it. I'll discuss the alternatives, reasons why you should get windshield protection film and show before and after footage.

How to remove window tint by yourself
zhlédnutí 377Před měsícem
A quick tutorial on how I removed window tint from one of my car windows. The passenger side window was replaced after a smash and grab, so I needed to make the driver's side window match. I was trading in the car, so it didn't matter to me if it was tinted or not.

If you have a charger at home you never need to supercharge unless you leave the state or drive more than 300 miles a day. Been owning a EV and haven’t charged in public in 6 months. I just charge overnight.
Great video, thanks for putting together the whole trip & locations 🙏
Death Valley is an interesting choice for camping. That being said, I applaud your pioneering spirit, and it is spending time with your daughter that matters the most. I have a 2022 Tesla Model 3 and I live in Arizona. My Model 3 is the RWD version with 19" wheels which has approximately 260 miles of range. However, when the temperature gets above 105 degrees F, I progressively lose about 60 miles of range because of the extreme heat. In 110-degree-plus weather, my range drops down to about 180 miles. This is typical for Model 3s in my area. We have had a high of 116 degrees F this summer. One criticism: why are you wearing a mask? Cloth masks don't protect you from viruses or germs. Further, data from COVID show that groups that had mask mandates actually had HIGHER infection rates than comparable data groups who did not wear masks. Wearing a mask is not going to protect you. Apart from this one criticism, I am a big fan of you being a loving father to your daughter. Also, great job in providing a large umbrella to protect your daughter's skin. A LOT of parents would not have been that intelligent.
So your daughters name is elli? and she’s a fan of outer space?? seems like dad is really into the last of us❤❤
You doxed yourself at 26:05

So if you're using the NEMA 14-50, ideally what do you want to set you amperage to in your car? At home I get 48A on my model Y. Can you explain why yours maxed out at 32A when you set the limit?
My ppf installer guy said to avoid all windshield PPF
Same thing happened with my 2018 Model S. It turned out to be corrupted firmware which had to be reinstalled.
How important do you think it is to have a NEMA TT-30 with you to charge at RV sites? I would assume most have the 14-50?
Not so important. It is a fallback to not having a 50 Amp service and only gives a slight advantage over a regular 15-amp plug. 6 miles per hour for TT-30 vs. 4 miles per hour for a standard 5-15 plug. Probably not worth the expense. I've never had to use mine.
@@SuperchargedTravels Appreciate your tip!
your model 3 looks to be a single motor. which means it can only accept 170kw of power
I never knew that until now. I traded in my 2018 Model 3 for a 2023 dual motor Model Y, so this is no longer an issue for me.
@@SuperchargedTravels yup, as long as you have the long range or performance. The AWD standard range still has the other battery. Standard range cars are recommended to charge up to 100% and accept 170kw whereas all other cars are recommended below 80% and can accept 250kw
I think you should work on making your subtrunk more accessible or lining your frunk with some kind of thermal liner, because that cooler is about to be working twice as hard in its current environment.
Good suggestion, but the cooler kept ICE frozen for two days in Death Valley in summer, so I'll trade convenience for efficiency and leave it up front.
Xpel
Has that been released yet?
I am a professional PPF installer and I never recommend for daily drivers
Just install it from inside the car that way it wouldn’t get scratched
thats the whole point of a windshield protection film
@@thicksy Protects from inside damage
Sounds like Carbyne Motorsport is a crap company to get work done - did not want to disclose what product they used and basically told you to f-off with their suggestion about polish, which they knew would not work. I will avoid them!
I have Exoshield on my Model Y also and it’s a similar experience. It’s helped with some good sized pebbles hitting and only causing damage to the film and the windshield being ok, but that’s it. It looks terrible after a couple years, both inside and out. When I first got it done there was a haze look (not sure if similar to your orange peel look) but it’s just gone downhill since. Almost paid to get it done on my 3, but decided to hold off and I’m so glad I did.
I'm really enjoying the view out of my window since I removed it. It's the small things in life.
Mine prevented rock chips and cracks for 5 years, but yeah… ended up super scratched, ruining the visual quality making it dangerous. It’s a trade off I guess. I even tried polishing the film which didn’t help very much.
Like those plastic carpet runners that turn yellow after a few years. Sure, you protected the carpet, but it looks ugly as hell.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Ceramic coating it a few times a year and/or polishing it would probably do what you’re asking. Supplement with rainX additive in your washer fluid, you’ll be good to go.
ceramic coating will not provide any protection for rock chips they only make the glass easier to clean and bead water
there is a polish we use on aircraft windshields to keep their film from scratching. but yea most of these protection films for cars are total bs. they are ment for non glass coverings.
Short and sweet, good to know!
Dang! I had no idea the campsite fees were so high - nearly 4 times higher than the cost of Tesla Supercharging for this trip.
Yes, but the fee covers lodging as well with access to clean bathrooms and showers.
Why are you wearing a mask man? Get informed, watch the congressional hearings. California lied to you.
When do I wear a mask in this video?
Enjoyed this. You two were very calm for your first ride in a driverless car. I’m not quite ready yet. 😬
The M3 can be a little cramped to sleep in. Good video, cute kiddo! Impressive you took on this trip with a SR+ battery pack.
Actually, this was the 2018 mid-range battery, but it had only 246 miles of range by the time I took this trip.
I’m stressed just watching!! Lol. Exactly, it’s assertive and not careful.
At some point the cars will be better at driving themselves than humans. This was pretty close.
I just took a 12 hour trip one way from Ohio to South Carolina and never had a single issue, we stopped every 2 to 3 hours to charge for 20-30 minutes, which would be perfectly acceptable for any situation gas or electric especially when you’ve been driving for 2-3 hours straight and are tired
I drove from Seattle to San Diego. 6- five min stops to get gas, 1hr to get in-n-out and 1 over night in Salinas. I'd go nuts making a day and a half trio into 3days
@@franklinflowers8106 fair enough, but the trip was only supposed to be 10 and a half hours, so by taking a Tesla it took an extra hour and a half, not a big deal to me as I only travel this far when I'm going on vacation so I'm not in a hurry anyways
To drive from Seattle to San Diego in a Tesla Model Y LR you would leave Seattle at 8 AM and arrive in Salinas at 11:28 PM. Plug in to a destination charger for 9 hours while you are sleeping and leave at 8:30 AM the next day with a full charge. You would arrive in San Diego at 3:45 PM the next day. 11 charging stops for a total of 4 hours 14 minutes of supercharging. You can have lunch at 11:19 AM in Salem (33 minutes) at Red Robin, and dinner at either Weed or Red Bluff (24 min).

Might as well visit peggy sues or the ghost town since you gotta wait 😂
We were at EddieWorld, which is a favorite of ours.
I was this close to getting an electric car lmao
This literally never happens to my local chargers
But most people just charge at home overnight so it’s better for them
No worries, you will own one eventually.
or get this… you fill up at a gas station and be on your way in 5 minutes.
Always bring flip flops for the shower... never forget the flip flops...
What kind of tire repair kit do you have
I keep a 12v air pump in the car. I also have a tire sealant in a can, but you should avoid using these are they muck up the inside of the tires. The factory Tesla tires have an internal lining inside them to reduce road noise. Tow truck to a tire repair shop is the best option, then air, then sealant.
Very cool video. I am trying to figure out how to make the 3D fly-by maps showing paths like you did in this video. I assume Google Earth app but would love to know for sure. Thanks!
Actually Google Studio and After Effects are the way to go now. I still use Google Earth Pro to generate the KML for Google Studio.

did u find sleeping in it comfortable? I am 6 foot tall and I wanna buy one and live in it
Yes. You can always move the front seats forward for more room, but then you will need something to cover the gap between front and back seats. A wood board cut to size would work fine. Nothing too complicated.
anyone knows which adapter is needed to charge at Ruby's?
It depends on which of the three places you plan on plugging in. Check plugshare.com to find the answer.
Was that guy at the lookout point ready to propose? I'm off to Anza Borrego this weekend in my Model Y so thanks for the heads up.
This video should have been 10 minutes long
If you watch it double speed, it’s only 15 minutes.
you are comfortable with 6% SOC? If you pump that speed up or get a headwind I would assume that would make your life a lot worse. As a native of Utah I would say skip the national parks they get way overcrowded with yuppie tourists. You can see some beautiful stuff at state parks and conservation areas without all the people.Zion's is really a let down. You do it because it's something to do but the crowds take away from the experience.
Speed is probably the most important factor in EV efficiency. Drag changes with the speed of travel proportionally to the square of the speed; if you double the speed, the drag goes up by a factor of four. So, if you find yourself anxious about your SOC, you can simply slow down. It may take longer to get there, but it's nice to have this option available if you need it. Thanks for the advice on Utah. It's hard to avoid crowds in any of the popular spots. You definitely need to spend more time planning to avoid them.
if you sell the vehicle, how do you take the wrap off? Is it the same process as taking off a sticker?
I haven't tried, but I would imagine it is somewhere between PPF and a bumper sticker. Mine is stuck to matte wrap, so I would probably destroy the wrap if I tried to remove it, but the paint would be unharmed.
In CA license plates stay with the car, not the owner so there’s no need to remove it when you sell
I like the tesla process I just am thrown off how much you have to reply on chargers! Gas isn't as affected by heat vs a all electrical vehicle or is that false? my small Nissan kicks has 330 miles per gas tank... I would need a filled jug of gas with another 300 plus miles in order to feel safe going that far out into the desert
Planning is key when driving an EV. Tesla’s navigation is excellent at keeping you informed of your state of charge, predicted range and when you are out of range of the Tesla Supercharger network. Should the worst case happen, as long as you stick to the roads in Death Valley, you will be fine. Just bring enough water for the humans and eventually someone will come and help you. Keep in mind that most new phones have SOS that uses satellites to communicate, so being “off the grid” is not much of a thing anymore. In the old days, they used to have large water tanks on the side of the road in Death Valley because the gas-powered cars (which waste 60% to 80% of their fuel generating heat instead of useful work) would often overheat in the desert.
Great videos! Very informative! Keep them coming. Thanks
I love the US campground setups in and around the national parks, sadly we don't have anything like that over here in the UK :( (oh the EV charging info was good too )
Cool video. Did that Death Valley trip years ago. Memories...
