I’m terrible at maintenance. This is super helpful! Thank you. I’m sure this one will be nominated for academy awards as well.

Thank you for showing how to access and clean the a/c condenser! Definitely going to add this to my annual maintenance!

I love your added humor along with the great advice. Thanks for sharing Gjeebs keep up the great work!!

Great video. Glad to see you can service the condenser without taking off the bumper. There is a video of this same service on KZread, but the guy took the bumper off...I was shocked that this was happening. Now I see its simple and that was over kill. This is a great video for that reason. That tire pressure tool is what I need. Thanks for that. Agreed, driving habits play a high part in tire ware. Quattro Audi with 40/60 all the time..with torque vectoring..if I drive to aggressive..bye bye 45k life. Sport mode is not a friend to your tires.

Very Helpful Video @Gjeebs. I like the additional tips on cleaning the AC system cooler under the frunk which goes beyond the swapping out the filters and applying the HVAC cleaner. A lot of great tips. 👍👍👍

You did it again. You made a very informative video and made it very entertaining with your quips and jokes. Thanks!

• Tire Pressure and Maintenance: Proper tire pressure (42 PSI for most Teslas) is essential. A portable compressor can help maintain this, and rotating tires regularly is advised for longevity. • Timestamp: Watch from beginning • Chill Mode to Save Tires: Using chill mode can save tire wear due to the electric motor’s torque. It makes acceleration smoother and extends tire life without sacrificing performance significantly. • Timestamp: Watch from 1:44 • Use of Tesla Service and Parts: Highlighted the importance of utilizing Tesla’s service centers for parts and maintenance, including replacing missing clips and parts. • Timestamp: Watch from 2:58 • Wiper Blades Replacement: Recommends replacing wiper blades every 1-2 years. A specific brand offering long-lasting replacements with additional wiper strips was mentioned. • Timestamp: Watch from 4:27 • Cleaning Interior Windshields: Emphasizes cleaning the inside of windshields, especially for smokers or vape users, to improve visibility. • Timestamp: Watch from 6:55 • Cabin Air Filters Replacement: Suggests replacing cabin air filters with HEPA filters for better air quality and to avoid musty smells. A kit including tools for easy replacement was recommended. • Timestamp: Watch from 9:14 • AC System Maintenance: Cleaning the AC condenser and replacing the cabin filters can significantly improve the efficiency of the AC system. • Timestamp: Watch from 10:48 The video emphasizes low-cost, easy-to-perform maintenance tasks that Tesla owners can do themselves to keep their cars running efficiently and extend the life of various components.

Super helpful!! Love the humor in this too😂😂 it’s a mindset for sure. LOOSEN UP

Glad you like them!

A few times a year I remove the wiper blades, clean them and apply 303 Protectant to the wiper blades. Makes them last a lot longer. There is a hidden 3rd clip for the AC condenser behind the right lower clip (driver side) It will allow you to pull the panels further apart for deeper access to clean between the two panels. Wedge something in there like a screwdriver handle to keep the panel gap open.

Suggestion when replacing the wiper blades: Place a towel between the wiper arm and the windshield. Should the wiper arm slip when trying to insert the new blade, it won't go crashing into the windshield glass and possibly cracking the windshield. PS, thanks for the tip that you can manually move the wiper arms when in wiper service mode beyond the couple of inches it raises up when you hit the (virtual) button. I just washed my Y this week and had a devil of a time trying to clean the wiper blade (driver's side in particular) using the default position of wiper service mode.

Thanks for the tip about removing the speaker on the panel under the glovebox. I have just about broken the cable/connector trying to remove the cable rather than the whole speaker. I will use your advice in the next time I clean the evaporator and change the cabin filter. The fourth time is a charm, hopefully. I have 118K miles on my Model 3.

Super helpful video that I added to my saved library to watch again when the time comes up to do the various service items. Don't feel bad about pitching the cleaning materials and floor mats. I have purchased those items with your codes and they are great. I have also purchased a bunch of the Into the AM stuff you sometimes pitch, which are also great. You have to try their bomber jacket. It is fully lined and the best ever.

G good job on hitting the radiator. That's the main cooling for the batteries. By cleaning it you increased the air flow and which will cool the batteries faster. Don't forget to look at your coolant level while you're there. 👍

thank you brother for sharing ❤❤

Nice tips. My 2 cents is to replace wipers with silicone blades. They last years instead of months. Wally World carries them at a good price.

Great info and a funny guy, love it when Hollywood stars share their everyday tips!....

Great advice!! I laughed way to much also.

A bike pump works really well to pump tyres. A bit faster too with a floor stand MTB pump. With a nice workout too

Hi there, I just purchased the Kool-it Evaporator & Heater foam cleaner, my question is do you wipe out the compartment where you just sprayed this in before placing the filters back in? Thank you, Beth

Would you please do a video on how to add coolant to the Model Y reservoir. Thank you.

Replaced my air filters last year, with my limited maintenance skills reduced to operating a wheelbarrow I was impressed I got it done, a little tricky but done! 🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏼 Also going to try the glass cleaner since I’ve yet to find anything worth using. 👍🏼

How’s your background noise “music “ lol!! The heck was that!? 😂 Mahalo for your videos! Lost it when you said “like having a new wife”. Hahahaha 😂

One other big issue is put a screen on the front air intake for the Condenser, that keeps bugs bees and other vermin from plugging up you fine fin channels on your Condenser, great to prevent early AC compressor failures from over use due to plugged up Condensers. I did that day 20 of getting my Tesla new.

geejeeeb, WOW wiper blade mode! DAMN this is smart we only have had our Tesla Y for 1 year loving your Ideas IT guy! I 'm same... I work at a VA Hospital OMY gosh the shT I see

Great video! The cooling radiator should be foam sprayed with a HVAC cleaner spray bottle, soak in 5 min, flush with water in a little spray bottle for a best case scenario clean 😁

Great video! Does anyone know if Tesla service ppl would handle cleaning out the AC condenser? Think that's a bit too hands on for me 😂

I use simple RainX which you spray on a cloth and wipe..then let it haze over..then buff off. It stops moisture from Dew and keeps dirt from sticking.

What’s the HVAC spray for? I don’t think you mentioned that in the video…

😂. It happens. Had my an older audi before my newer one..had the high pressure washer service done on my engine due to bad carbon buildup..it was a tsb and was covered under an extenended manufacture warrenty..long story..they had to decouple my exhaust assembly for it..and left it uncoupled when they gave it back to me. Terrible rattling... took it to my local indy shop...bolted back up..all good. Yah, service centers leave junk or forget to bolt shit back. It happens to everyone.

I always put a piece of carton on the windshield when changing my blades. Better safe than sorry. With regards to smelly Teslas, I always activate car wash mode when washing it or in heavy rain so the fresh air intake trap stays close.

I subscribed when you said " kinda like having a new wife " :) thanks for all the useful information.

I drive in fastest mode for the rare case of needing the power. And not long ago, I needed it to avoid a vehicle.

Trying to decide if I should sell some stocks to get me over the $200,000 income threshold (saving me the headache of installing the filters) or if I should just go ahead and install the filters myself.

A CAUTION! Be carefull when vaccuming that grill/condenser to not damage the very thin and soft fillaments, they are easy to damage, making the condenser less efficient!

Dude, you dropped some dirt on your cabin filters to make it look dirtier!!! LOL. Don't do that it makes you look bad!

Great tips but I refuse to drive it chill mode. I only use it when it snows.

Thumbs up for outside the bun thinking on the plastic piece protecting the wiper replacement parts. Also, for changing out cabin filter... the Tesla Owners Manual no longer shows removing the trim below glove box as necessary to get to filters. Is that because newer models can get to filters by just removing center console trim... or all teslas can get there without removing trim below glove box?

Ser the pee windshield cleaning method you suggested left the inside of my vehicle with urine odor. Maybe I should've used a clean towel when trying to remove the "vape layer," on the inside after the exterior urine cleaning.

You use and do a lot of accessory reviews, what are your thoughts on one of the many front radiator screens that snap on the air intake at the bottom of front bunber to prevent so many leaves etc from getting into the front radiator assembly? Is there a reason you would not recommend using one of these?

I'm sure they are fine but I never tried one. I would just avoid blocking how much air is coming in. They made it the size they did for a reason so you just don't want to restrict that
