- There's a lot you can personalise in your Tesla - from mirror settings to music or games but what do you need to do when you first slide into your new car? Here are 10 things I found useful to set up when you get into your Tesla Model Y or Model 3 for the first time.*
* - List may be a bit more than 10 things. 😉

I've watched this video a couple of times now (picking up my new Model Y tomorrow!) and I still laugh every time the steering wheel is coming towards you and gets a "hello"
Glad you found it helpful and entertaining. 🤣 Hope you're having a wonderful day with your new Model Y and enjoy it as much as we enjoy ours.
Lee, so nice to watch your genuine 'real world' videos. Not accented, loud and fast speaking so-called experts. You even forgot the name of the stalk...priceless. It just adds authenticity to your video. My wife and I are avid watchers of your tesla series. Our blue MY SR is not too far away and with the knowledge gained from your vids, our transition to EV will be much more seamless. Thank you from up Byron Bay way.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. That exciting that your Model Y is not far away.
I wish you both many happy years and kilometers with it. ☺️
Please feel free to share my videos with any EV curious folks you can. ☺️ I am really trying to present EVs in a "not preachy" way so that folks who may not have the best opinions of EVs can maybe give them another look.
PS, I just recored a video today about accessories, will hopefully be out in a week or so. That one may be a bit loud as my microphone settings seemed to be a bit off. 🤔 Will see how I go trying to fix that in post. 🤣
I came for the tesla video but stayed for your humour. Keep doing what you’re doing 😂👏
Thank you for taking the time to comment and the kind words, much appreciated. ☺️
Thank you for mentioning that your mum may not know. Assumed knowledge I call it, we're not all techy geeks Elon. By the way the dome lights are the interior lights so why not call them that. From the UK we don't use the term hoot, we beep the horn ... Love your presentation, you're a natural.
Thank you for the kind comment.
So helpful thank you. For those who don’t know, the dome lights are the interior lights. Setting to auto makes them come on when you open the door. Also I would STRONGLY recommend using lock confirmation sound because if you are dozy like me and you leave your phone on the seat then your car is unlocked with your phone in view. Fortunately I realised before both phone and car were stolen 😂
Thanks, that's good info and advice. 🙏🏻☺️
Great video as always. Always so casual, down to earth as well as so informative 👍
Thanks Lilian, so glad you're enjoying them.
From one short, middle-aged, overweight man to another, gday! I love your videos. I'm taking delivery of a Model Y end of April and have found your videos most helpful. Keep making more of these!
Thanks, I hope you enjoy your Model Y as much as we are enjoying ours. ☺️
You're VERY good at talking on camera. The way you present is excellent. And obviously the production quality is 10/10 (no surprise there 😉) ... It's only a matter of time before this channel blows up ! 🔥
Thanks mate, that's very kind of you to say. 🤞🏻
Almost as good as Ryan's Model 3 was ;)
Two of my favourite Tesla channels gents. Well done both
@@davidhennessy216 haha thanks mate 🥰 I certainly could learn a thing or 2 from Lee's amazing production skills.
Always happy to catch up and talk shop. 😉
@RyanCowan it's sooooo good to see your comment here. I watch videos in your channel at least once a day👌
Ryan comes No.1 and this channel No 2.
You two helped me a lot with my Model Y.
I love your sense of humour . Thank you for the video. Funny that there isnt a lot of videos about first set up of car. Also. Not many people know everything. You did well.
Thank you. Glad you found it helpful.
I've had my Model Y for 18 months, and I still don't know everything !
Practical and useful as ever. Thanks for this update.
Thank you so much for the kind comment Robyn. I am super glad you found it helpful.
Thank you for a great explanation to setting up the car. Picking up my MY RWD in 4 weeks and very excited, but appreciate there's a lot to learn about driving a Tesla. Going through your videos will make it that little bit easier. Thanks again from a UK watcher.
Hi, so glad you found this helpful. That's very much my intention with this channel. Hope the weather in the UK is starting to get a bit warmer. I understand it's been a bit of an unpleasant winter.
Hello from UK. Getting my MY next month and your video is immensely useful. Thanks a ton
Thanks Ashvin, glad you found it useful. ☺️
Great info. I just ordered my model Y long range yesterday. I live in Arizona, USA. Really enjoyed your tutorial. I will come back you watch it again when I get my car.
Thanks, so glad you found it useful. Looking forward to hearing about your experience with the long range. Unfortunately we don't get the long range in Australia. Which seems odd as we have some pretty long distance we could drive with it here. 🤣
“Miracles happen” 😊 your videos always give me a chuckle or 2. Very helpful information as well. I’m 2 weeks out from picking up my blue Model Y ( 1st time EV buyer).. I’m certain that your videos will help ease the technology overload. Assuming I can open the door, I’ll check on the Hooter LOL
Glad I could help. Hope you really enjoy getting to know your new EV. This was my first too. I've found the transition pretty cool. Hope it's the same for you. ☺️
Brutally honest, i like it
Thanks
Fantastic video.
Thank you, very kind of you to take the time to let me know. thanks.
Great video. I pick my up my 2023 Model Y tomorrow and this has been very helpful
Thanks Al, very kind of you to say. I am super glad you found it helpful.
Thanks so much sir ❤❤
thank you for the kind comment.
Great help mate and great vid i get my 1st model 3 in a few wks
Thank you, very glad you found it useful. Hope you enjoy your car as much as we are enjoying ours. ☺️
The concept of calibration is perfect. Everyone drives differently so the car learns from the way you drive and how you do stuff. That way it saves it to your profile. Same as your cellphone having only the apps you like on it and not fluffy stuff that you dont care about. Overall i would say the model y seems to be exactly the best thing that should happen to me. And yes in south africa we call it a hooter. Cause we have taxi drivers (in minibuses ) that drive like sheet.
Yes, that would be interesting. I am not sure how much customisation actually happens.
Haha "hoe gaan dit?", baie goed dankie. Love your video's.
Dis net a plesier. ☺️
And that's about the limit of my Afrikaans. 🤣
Nice video regarts from the Netherlands
Thank you very much!
Thanks Lee, waiting for my new MY, been without since April (accident). Good refresher, due to arrive second if half of November. First go round only lasted a year, fingers crossed, second go round is the charm
That really suck to be without your car because of an accident. Hope no one was hurt. Glad to hear your replacement isn't far away. Keeping fingers crossed for you it comes soon. ☺️
@@notacarguy_au it was a close call, but I survived, so I’m thankful for that 😇
Hey Lee,
Great video, mate.
FYI, you can use your high beams wherever you like, as long as it's not within 200m of another car or an oncoming car with low beam lights on. In other words, don't blind anyone.
Thanks, that's good to know. I generally try not to blind folks, but the auto high beams had their moments when first using the feature.I do think it's gotten a lot better since then. Though I don't use much in suburbia as it's not really needed in those situations.
Thanks for yet another great video. What about the "easy entry" profile. Think i saw somewhere, that you can link you profile to this, so when you enter the car, its the Ease entry and once you step on the break, its your own.
Yes, that's the way it works for us. As I open the door it's in easy entry, then when I put my foot on the break, it goes into my profile and then when I got back into park, it goes back into easy entry.
@@notacarguy_au Thats excellent :-)
Video got recommended to me today.
Saw that intro and the weather outside.
Average Aussie, in the rain, typical older suburb slight dishevelled wooden puller fence.
Must be Melbourne outer burb.
See the map CONFIRMED LOL.
Helpful video thanks
Typical Aussie? I'm a kiwi, I only live in Melbourne. 😜 Glad you found the video helpful.🙏
@@notacarguy_au nahhh you have had success, so now you’re an Aussie 😛😂
😂😂😂so I’m kinda like Farlap and Pavlova? You can keep Russel Crowe. 😜
@@notacarguy_au why you guys all hate Russell so much?
@@notacarguy_au also yes Farlap is ours. In the Melbourne museum and all 😛
Hi Lee - I watched a few of these and like your info. Our Y is coming in the next few weeks can you please share the site and the type of car mats you bought and what I should be expecting to pay. Also keen to know what home chargers people have bought and had installed. Alistair
HI Alistair, I got these tessories.com.au/product/model-y-3d-floor-mats/ and they are $159. They are ok, but I've since had Jowua reach out to me and ask if I wanted to have a look at theirs.
They've also given me a discount code that I can share out which is "EVEASY". So may be worth having a look at those too. The code gives you 10% off I think.
We got the Tesla Gen 3 charging point installed. I looked at the Zappi, as we have solar as well. But the Zappi was twice the price of the Tesla one. So we went with Tesla and I manually manage the charge rate of the car during the day to ensure we are only using solar.
Hope that helps. ☺️
PS. I've already filmed a video about the accessories that I got for the car and am in the process of editing it now. Should be out in a week or two.
@@notacarguy_au thanks Lee I was sure I saw a video of yours about mats that also had ones for the boot. Maybe I am confused. Thanks also for the info on charging. AB
@@notacarguy_au Also Lee - its seems thr Jowua are only Left hand drive
Hi, just a question, do you know if this new RWD is coming with the ryzen cpu?
I think the ones in Australia do come with the Ryzen CPU. But I am not 100% sure.
Hi Lee.Just a comment on the 'regionalisation'... I've been watching Ian Bailey from Scotland, and his car is actually labelled with boot, bonnet etc. Weird that ours don't. Regards, Greg.
Yeah, I think maybe if I change the language on the car or the voice assistant then it can change it. But I haven't looked at those settings for a while.
@@notacarguy_au I think mine is already English (British) or whatever, but I'll have to check. Are you coming to the TOCA coffee meet on Sunday? Regards, Greg.
right side steering wheel totally throwing me off!
Just watch it via a mirror. 😉
Hi Lee. We finally picked up our brand new Tesla Model Y SR in Midnight Silver this Friday. My driver profile was easy to setup and so was my daughters. My wifes profile does not appear with the proper name, just with a picture and the text "Synchronized one minute ago". She can however enter the car and use it, not just get the automatic setup when hitting the brake. Do you have an idea what to do here ? I tried removing her in the app and re-invite, but it she does not appear normally with a name and picture in the profile menu.
That does seem a bit odd. I've not experienced that or heard of others experiencing that. Do you mean her driver profile on the car or her driver profile in the Tesla App?
I think those are not entirely the same thing. For example, my brother-in-law is setup as another driver in the App so he can help us with the car if we are away and need something done with it. But my wife has a profile only on the car that is sync'd to her phone.
For the App, my wife and I use the same account. But have our own seperate profiles on the car system which seems to work well for adjust seats and settings depending on which one of us gets in the car. I hope that makes sense and can help. Let me know how you go.
@@notacarguy_au I really havent found out, what causes it, but i will let You know as soon as i have fixed it :-)
Do you have an SPACES or unusual letters in her name? (Just in case)
🤘🏼
Thanks
how do right hand car drivers drive anywhere else in the world? Right hand car driving is so limited to specific few countries in the world, must be so confusing going anywhere
You'd be surprised how adaptable humans are. 🤣. The few times I've driven in places that drive on the other side of the road. I've been a bit nervous about it, but actually found it quite easy.
The only time I've ever had an issue is when there are no other cars around. When there are other cars, you just kinda follow the herd. ☺️ I'd say it's similar to when we tend to drive the same speed as those cars around us. If that makes sense?
I think you'd be surprised as to just how many right hand countries there are out there. 😉
There are more than 50+ plus countries with considerable amount of the worlds population who drive right hand cars...the world is not Murcia mate
Australia is one BIG island, so you really can't drive anywhere from here. G'Day mate ;-)
It should also refer to "traffic lights" as "robots".
You're not wrong. 🤣
I just took delivery of a model Y. I have used all Apple products for years. I have done music videos of various kinds without ever referring to instructions. Tesla controls are far away the most un-intuitive I have ever encountered with any electronic device. I have no trouble with Alexa,Nest, echo, MacBook. My garage door, my garage air conditioner, my condo have all been set up without referring to instructions. Tesla controls are the most baffling I have ever encountered, nothing seems to work the way logic would suggest. Every other product I have ever used gives you an option to save the setting. Forget modifying driver profile. It seems impossible. I’m sure I’ll get it overtime, but it seems to me. It could be so much easier and the people who delivered the car did not want to show me how things work. I tried to self driving about 10 miles away from delivery come to find out they had not even mentioned it to me or enabled it even though I paid $12,000 for it..
I'm sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience at first with your car. I guess everyone learns in different ways. I did find some things a bit confusing at first, but overall I found that it was fairly intuitive for me, but that's my experience, which certainly doesn't represent all experiences.
I think you're right in that Tesla could do a much better job of communication and education for new and potential clients.
Nice video, just an observation: try to stay closer to the topic, I think you drifted away from top 10 things and spoke about top everything. Cos at the time of delivery the customer can’t explore everything.
Thanks, you make a valid point, and I do try, but you should see the mess in my brain. For me this was pretty good at staying on topic. 🤷🏻🤣
@@notacarguy_au I learnt a lot from this video, the top items are profile, seat and phone, the rest can be explored at home. I love your videos and keep them coming.
Mmm
Mmm indeed. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Tesla battery pre conditioning
Yes and no, it's great that it does it, but would be nice if I could tell the car to do it with not just Tesla chargers. I get why they may not want to do that, but it would be nice if we had that option built in.
@@notacarguy_au I don't even get to SEE where the non Tesla chargers are (they have 2 lightning bolts not 3). Ian Bailey in Scotland does though... I prefer to NOT use Tesla chargers, and it is frustrating that they are not visible in the navigation or routing. 😞 Any clues anyone ?
I beep my horn
We all have our own ways of doing things. 😉
I toot mine.
