If you don’t absolutely need the miles during the week, charge to 80%. Then leave work Fridays with 90% for the weekend. It’s a tiny bit less harder on the battery and will make it last longer. I have a 2013 Model S performance. I only charge to 70% at work. 80% when I leave work on a Friday for weekend miles (my commute is only 11 miles). I’ll go to 100 for the half dozen trips a year. But make sure I time it so I leave as soon as it hits 100%. You don’t want it to “stay” at a high rate of charge. That accelerates degradation. 8 years later, my battery still has 95.2% capacity. On an 8 year old battery.

Thanks for tip

Jason u never made the vid for the paint correction and ceramic coating of the Tesla after the tunnel wash. 😔 loved the bloopers

Very useful video for a new Tesla owner like me. Thank you.

Pretty Mitch! 🤣 Those seats looked clean and bright as hell Jason! You need shades just to sit in it and drive. 😎😂

All good products to help keep it protected, hope Jason is enjoying his new ride.

Great video! Need a feedback on the mother’s VLR product, what do you think? I use that one on my Tesla seats.

Would you suggest any type of protectant for floor mats you installed at the very end of the video?

Does that leather protector make the seats feel slick when you get in and out of the car?

does it make a difference to make multiple layer of the leather shield?

What did you use to protect the exterior?

What window tint did you use on the tesla? Considering having mine done

just curious how the interior seat protection has held up, would you still recommend this product? Taking delivery of a Model Y soon with white interior. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing. Very informative!

Does the leather kit help the seats from drying out?

what do you use to clean and dust repellant for the screen?

do you recommend that leather car kit on darker interiors too?

3D Maxpiders FTW!

Is colorlock the best leather protection ? Better than any other conditioner or the leather guard

When you go over the sets with the microfiber cloth should it be wet or dry

How frequently do you recommend doing this?

Can i apply leather cleaner and conditioners on ceramic coated leather seats? Is it recommended

What’s better color lock or cquarts ceramic from car pro?

I went to buy the product, but colorlock came back to me and said i should be using the cleaner for faux leather. Do you agree with them or should i still be using the leather cleaner instead?

is Byron leather shield also good? would you recommend it or no ?

The bloopers 🤣 that was awesome!! ❤️

Isn’t the steering wheel made of the vegan leather ? Why are you using the plastic protection on that and not the seats?

Great Video! As always much love. Great presentation very professional and clear! A great idea/video is what to do when you first buy a car like the ultimate clean protection for exotic vehicle then high-end vehicle then medium-end etc.. ❤️👍🏼🙌

I wonder if that colourlock leather kit is better than a coating for leather?

Seat leather is always coated by the tannery unless it is a full aniline leather

Does anyone have a rough estimate to re-upholster a car seat in vinyl? I wonder if all the time and specialty products used to clean and protect a seat is worth it over the life of that seat, or what type of value do you get for putting the time in and product on regularly? I would think that getting leather with contrast stitching to match oem would be difficult and pricey, but dyed vinyl seems like it might be relatively cheap to replace.

PVC is about 25% of the price of basic embossed seat leather, but the work in cutting the panels and sewing all of them together is largely the same. All you save is the difference in the higher cost of the leather vs the PVC.

Does Gretchnic product leave the seats slick? From your description sounds like it would.

My understanding is that scotchgaurd will be stripped by normal cleaning with carpet/upholstery cleaner. Or at least that is what the carpet cleaner told me when he was trying to sell their protectant application after my home's carpets were cleaned.

Gyeon do a good Fabric Coat product for carpets and fabric seats, or Leather Coat for all leather/vinyl surfaces. I have also used Rain-X's Repel Guard on older cars, it works too, but needs re-done every few months.

Got to try that product from Dr. BEASLEY

best with full strength APC or interior detailer, lots MF cloths and a steam cleaner. plus fabric/leather strong cleaners. once done you need to then use the same protectants for all the surfaces

Hello!

I read that you are supposed to treat Tesla's seats as plastic/vinyl since it is vegan leather? You should use vinyl conditioner rather than leather conditioner since the vegan leather won't let conditioner products penetrate it?

Why don't you use Vegan Leather or Artificial Leather protection?

You dont need any of this. Meguiars apc and a good leather conditioner. Scotch fabric guard for "protection" is all you need.
