Backseat Cover for Pets [0:32]

The host uses a backseat cover designed specifically for Teslas to protect the back seats, doors, and front seatbacks from pet damage. The cover includes a window for monitoring pets and is useful after outdoor activities like hiking. It's easily foldable for storage in the trunk.

Cup Holder Food Tray [1:23]

Steering Wheel Tray [2:15]

A steering wheel tray is introduced as a solution for the driver to eat comfortably while parked. The tray attaches to the steering wheel when it's turned upside down, providing a stable surface for food.

Trunk Organizer [2:59]

The host demonstrates a trunk organizer designed to keep items in place. It features pockets, handles for easy removal, and a waterproof design. Velcro on the bottom prevents it from moving during transit.

Cargo Liner [3:34]

CCS Adapter [4:02]

Mobile Charger [4:49]

The host recommends keeping a mobile adapter in the car for emergency charging. The Tesla mobile connector allows charging from standard household outlets, providing a few miles of range. The video also mentions a Lectron mobile connector as a cheaper alternative with additional features.

USB Charging Cables [5:35]

USB charging cables, specifically USB-C and iPhone cables by Tamai, are recommended for charging devices like cameras and iPads. These cables also offer faster charging for phones compared to wireless chargers.

Game Controller [6:23]

The video explains how to use a game controller with a Tesla for in-car gaming. Certain games require a controller, which can be connected via a USB-C cable.

Windshield Sun Shade [6:58]

A windshield sun shade is presented to keep the car cool on hot days. The shade easily pops open and fits inside the windshield, blocking sunlight and reducing heat buildup.

Solid State Drive (SSD) [8:03]

The host recommends upgrading the Tesla's USB drive to a Samsung SSD for Sentry Mode. The SSD provides more memory and faster storage for the car's security footage.

Phone Mount [9:11]

A phone mount is suggested for using alternative maps like Waze or Apple Maps, which offer additional information such as road hazards and speed traps. The host uses a Magback wireless mount but recommends various other options available in the description.

Garbage Bag [10:34]

A garbage bag designed to hang on the back of a seat is shown. It includes an LED light and removable trash bags, providing a convenient way to manage trash while driving.

Vacuum Cleaner [11:07]

The video features a portable vacuum cleaner by Basis for keeping the car clean. This high-quality, strong vacuum cleaner charges via USB-C and is useful for cleaning up trash and messes.

Interior Cleaner [12:04]

An interior cleaner, specifically the Total Interior Cleaner by Adams, is recommended for cleaning spills and messes inside the car. This is part of a larger car washing kit.

Microfiber Cloths [12:30]

Microfiber cloths are suggested for cleaning the car's interior and screens. They are useful for removing fingerprints and keeping surfaces clean.

Car Cover [12:58]

A car cover by Bigger Cover is recommended for protecting the car's exterior when parking outside. The cover includes openings for the doors and charge port, allowing the car to be charged while covered.

Mud Flaps [13:44]

Low-profile mud flaps are shown to protect the car's sides from dirt and mud. These clip-on mud flaps prevent debris from damaging the paint.

Floor Mats [14:46]

Floor mats, particularly those by Ordeo, are highlighted as essential for protecting the car's interior. These waterproof mats with raised edges prevent spills from reaching the carpet.

Jack Lift Pads [15:53]

Jack lift pads are recommended for safely using a car jack with a Tesla. These rubber pucks prevent damage to the battery and undercarriage when lifting the car.
