- A quick video demonstrating where I think is the best place to put your e-tag in a Tesla Model 3. Spoiler: on the inside of the centre console armrest lid.

"I just spent a fortune on tolls" -- funniest line ever!
Tried on model Y, it works, thanks for the video
good to know! I watched this video and wondered if it would work on the MY. Thanks!
hahaha thanks for this vid, answered my questions to the letter
I will try sticky taping the tag to the underside of the center console first before committing to the more permanent solution
Your toll paying sacrifice is much appreciated lol
Wow !! Thanks for your sacrifice for this video ! The best idea !!!! Glad I searched for this 😂 cuz I hate seeing the tag on the windscreen
LOL informative and so spontaneously funny! good job!
Interesting, that we use the same tag from that manufacturer in europe. The big advantage is, that it has the same mounting mechanism. So I can just replace the tag in another country, without glueing the second tag to the windscreen.
Hi, what if I have installed a automatic sunshade that blocks the sunroof, will that work too?
Where should I place this in my Toyota Corolla 2022?
Lifesaver!!! Thanks so much!!
Has anyone tried the back of the screen? I’m deciding where to put the eTag on Model Y in Melbourne.
I've got mine blutac on to rear of screen MY- works 100%
Brilliant!!!
Hahahaha, omg I didn’t know this! Also it’s so fun to watch 😆
Hmm... I want to try your one but I don’t know if it’ll work on mine since I don’t have a sun roof on my mazda cx-3 😂
I use the one tag for everywhere ("everywhere" being Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane).
Mine's already mounted on the top of the windscreen so no relocation to armrest for me :D
nice video
Very smart thanks
Hi All
Ok i had heaps of problems with my spare tag
Now firstly the battery was fine, it was used in a old valiant we had and it sat in the glovebox most times and worked ( strange considering all the metal dashboard )
Now in the 2005 lancer it worked ( withe car never uses tolls and highways ) but again it sat in the console / cup holders and worked
Now into the commodore - it doe snot worked, i place it everywhere is does not work
So i take it to services NSW and they change it xmas 2023
The replacement does not work
Today i find out why
The last 2 model tags the bracket has a pin that presses internally to make contact with the battery
So if you do not have a bracket it will not work !!! The bracket needs to be installed so no double side tape or squashing it in the corner of the windscreen and dashboard like i used to do
So what i also learnt is that most modern cars 2015 or newer have a change in the windscreen, between the 2 glass is a heat layer - this is to help the front windscreen not fog up as much - the problem is it interferes with the etag reception
The only safe place is the black dot shielded area behind the mirror - it is not for decoration or a spot where the sun does not dry out the mirror glue - it is a area for electronics - the commodore had windscreen water sensor - it is like a laser pc mouse when water is on the screen if reflects into the laser beam and wiper comes
to test hold the etoll tag with bracket attached and place in that black are and go past a toll point - it will beep, if it is on the base of the windscreen loose it does not beep
What about model y?
Rumour has it this is one of the most expensive RUclips video ever made .
Genius
You mentioned “almost” every single time. Have you had any issues with it not reading the tag where you’ve placed it? I’m thinking of doing the same, but only if it reads successfully every time.
I have had it not read once or twice, I think my passenger had their arm over the arm rest. If I was to pull a number out of the air I would say ~98% success? If it fails you'll get charged a 'video fee', in NSW I think it's ~50c extra.
dedication. is it still in the same spot a year later? any missed beeps?
Yep still in the same spot. I've had the adhesive become less sticky but I just replaced it with some stronger adhesive. I haven't been driving too much but overall it's reliable enough for me.
Worst case you get hit with a 55cents video processing fee.
Has anyone tested this in Europe?
Are all the tolls barrier-less in Australia? In Ireland we have only one.
But other toll roads have an express lane for toll tags, same type as yours.
Yep all tolls in Australia are barrier less now.
All like this.
Hey I was exactly looking for this as I also feel sticking in windshield sucks on new Tesla . Btw did you ever missed any toll??
It's not 100% perfect (maybe 90%?) but where I live if it does miss a toll it will use video to recognise my plate and charge me an additional 50c, I can live with that so keep it attached to the lid =).
Thank you I’ll
Give it a shot too
Sooo helpful video man
*beep*ing good idea, thanks!
Without dislikes how would I know whether this video is fake or not
Has anyone tried this in Melbourne with a Model 3? Can report whether or not it works?
Yes, tried in model Y, it works
Love this, thank you! *Stupid ugly tag*
thanks for this video, just got my model 3 and didn't want to ruin the clean internal layout with an e-tag. Will install as you have tomorrow and give it a test. Worst case I pay $0.55 a few times or end up moving it.
EDIT: Just found this approach which unsure can be applied to a Model 3. ruclips.net/video/C21gUF2pubg/видео.html
It is possible to remove the woodgrain section of the dash, I have done it before but I don't think there's much space in there. I wouldn't anything in there that could mess with the operation of the vents. The tag under the armrest seems to be working pretty well for me so I'm just gonna keep it there. If you have other findings or better places to out the tag let us know!
