Anesu C Lol, Thanks for Subscribing! 😊 And yes I decided to add Tesla videos to my channel ✈️ So travel videos on Wednesdays and Tesla videos on Saturdays 🚘
Hi Ashley, I wouldn't paint the rims for two reasons. 1. Your planning to exchange for an after-market wheels in a few years and sell the OEM online because wheel Mfg change/update their wheel design every few years. Also, keeping it OEM maintains the value of the vehicle. 2. If you guys do paint the wheel get the multi-layer to prevent color fade and delamination due to oxidation, cleaning chemicals, and aging.
I watched a video a couple months ago with the Ocean Abstract lights as well. And the owner found out that Tesla actually installed the wires under the seats for the rear passengers. Which is an option to have lights there, in some kinda of upgrade package. Despite him not purchasing that particular package. The wires were there and they worked, so he now has lights for the rear passengers at the floor.
Hi Ashley, we have the same Model S! I'm interested in installing the 2 channel dash cam. How did you guys run the cable to the back? Can you link to a tutorial?
I have a Mercedes and at night there are Mercedes emblems on the ground that help you see where your going. You guys should install a Tesla emblem also! (It's located under the mirrors)
I have a lot of cd's that I still listen to and play often. It would cost a small fortune having to re buy the same music on download. Is there a way to install a external CD player ??
Looks great. Not sure if I'd add anything else...well just thought of something. Not sure what it's called, but you can add clips to the cover in trunk so that it will lift the cover and go back down as you open and close the lift gate. This will help avoid having an obstructed view out back window if you forget to put it back down before driving. Also did you guys install the dash cam or color the brake calipers?
ClayDayz I'll look into it, thank you! We got the brake calipers done at Butler Tires and we also paid to have the dash cam installed too. Didn't want to risk messing anything up lol.
Great video! I added a power frunk kit to my Model S so it lifts/closes automaticly just like the rear hatch. I love that feature. Quick question, how do you add heat reduction to the windshield? I would love to do that to mine.
No!!! Don't paint wheels* black! Model S is meant to be a luxury / premium vehicle. Painting them black would only make it look trashy :(.. Other suggestions: -weathertech floor, trunk, & frunk liners. -OEM Carbon Fiber spoiler. Mine has it and it REALLY completes the look and gives it that extra sexiness! (In my opinion) -paint protection film and a glass/ceramic/nano coating on top. BEST way is XPEL with Modesta BC-04 on top of that. Protects paint from chips and large amounts of vandalism and it self heals by heat and sun. It ALWAYS looks clean.
Haha, had me thinking "no way!" with the drill to the new car :-) Did you install the dash cam yourselves? If so how easy was the wire routing and power tap? Thanks for another great video! - Rene
rconthenet Haha! 😂😂😂 Would have been the perfect April Fool's Day video. We didn't install the dash cam though. We would have but for the sake of time, we just paid to have it installed. It took a professional 3 hours to install it. Had we attempted to do it, it probably would have taken way longer lol
M3GA Very true! Thankfully the rims we got are Tesla rims 😁 They are the classic rims that came with the older Teslas. We just preferred the older style Tesla rims to the new ones.
vwilkins1 Hey!! Yessss a fellow ATL-ien! Got the brake calipers done at Butler Tires. We called several Butler Tires shops to get quotes and we picked the one that gave us the best rate, which was the Butler Tires in Alpharetta.
courtney Vegan Nothing at all 😊 And Tesla made an announcement that going forward, all their cars will have vegan interiors. At the time when we bought it a little over a month ago, only the white interiors were vegan-friendly. Now all of them will be.
Great video - really nice production value. Yeah, those OEM wheels look much better than the newer slipstreams. I'm thinking of keeping mine for winter wheels and maybe powder-coating them grey for my soon-to-arrive black 75D. It will only cost me $550 CAD vs paying $3500 to upgrade to the new grey slipstreams. I don't know how Tesla can justify that price difference to simply change the colour of the wheels. Going to paint my calipers red too - love the look of red calipers on a black car. I might add one of those carbon fibre lip spoilers as well, though I'm not sure if it would look right on your white car. Looking forward to see what you mod next.
Brain Candy TV Yes I agree - red brake calipers look amazing on black cars and they will look so nice on yours! Karl has a black car with black rims and red brake calipers. It really pops against all the black. ❤️
Cool and useful video! Your are blessed with heavenly beauty too! Say you should paint rims, probably black, cause that silver now just does not add up to whole car.
Abstract Ocean is for sure an automatic upgrade everyone must do. It's surprising Tesla just doesn't do it at factory. The emblem wraps just don't look good at all in general. Keep it chrome and The slipstreams and turbines look better than the 5 point rims for sure. Another one I don't get people getting.
Yes you can do these upgrades to any other car.... But these are specific for a Tesla because they are meant for the Tesla LMAO. I swear people get so sensitive about things especially when they can't afford it. 😂😆
Ashley Renne: Travel Lushes That's awesome! I've yet to find a Tesla with a vegan steering wheel! Is it the same material as the seats? I was afraid they'd use plastic if I requested a non-leather steering wheel.
PkmmteXeleon that's a great question! I Tweeted both Tesla and Elon that question but no response. Surprisingly I don't see anything about it on their website either or when I look it up.
nice looking car. love the mods except for the red T up front. next upgrade should be NVX sub woofer or even a more extensive sound upgrade so we can hear the review!
Hi, Nice video and Great looking car. I would say leave the rims Silver! They look great with the white car..! Black rims are overdone and look dirty most of the time... :)
Don't know why everybody is telling you to paint the rims black. That will kill the look. Your rims are perfect as is. Now if the car itself was black I could see it. Black on black is cool. Black on white, not so much! Black on white looks like a kid with missing front teeth. If you feel you need more exterior decor upgrades, I suggest getting creative with a red racing/rally paint stripe. I once had a white Mustang GT convertible with a red stripe all around at bumper level. Looked great! You might also want to consider adding a spoiler to the trunk lid, like on the Saleen ST. BTW, I doubt that anybody is going to object to painted brake calipers when you trade your car in unless the paint job is really bad or something. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently gave Tesla some flack about its headlights not being bright enough. Apparently there are brighter heads available now. Maybe you can do some research and see what it would take to upgrade your Tesla headlights aftermarket. Adding additional running lights is also a fun upgrade. Imagine putting blue (or red) colored LEDs under it so that at night it looks like it's floating on a cloud of light.
These are some great suggestions!! Thank you! Karl and I were just talking about the black rim thing this morning. I think we both agree that black rims look best on a black car. He actually has a black car with black rims and red brake calipers and it looks amazing. Black on white though, I'm not too sure how that would look!
PkmmteXeleon Yep you're right, it says it on the website. "The Front Lighted T has been designed for all Tesla Model S vehicles from June 2012 - April 2016 and will not be compatible with the new Tesla Model S "refresh" front end design delivered after June 1st, 2016." Darn it. That would have been so cool! ☺️
🤔 What should our NEXT modification be? We'll pick a suggestion to put in our next modification video!
Well, if you're gonna paint the rims, I suggest black...
Ashley Renne: Travel Lushes trims, mats, diffuser.
Next mod, give the car to me
Ashley Renne: Travel Lushes paint the rims black
Ashley Renne: Travel Lushes A lighted Tesla Emblem on the back maybe?
The lights will never be as bright as you,Ashley!🌞
Aww! How sweet! 🌟 😇
The rims are a huge improvement over the stock rims.
John Squire Thank you! We think so too.
This is low key going to turn into a Tesla channel
hahahaha, literally is the reason I sub'd
Anesu C Lol, Thanks for Subscribing! 😊 And yes I decided to add Tesla videos to my channel ✈️ So travel videos on Wednesdays and Tesla videos on Saturdays 🚘
Ashley Renne: "Tesla Lushes"
The New Travel 😂😂😂 I like it!!
+Ashley Renne: Travel Lushes Awesome!
Hi Ashley, I wouldn't paint the rims for two reasons.

2. If you guys do paint the wheel get the multi-layer to prevent color fade and delamination due to oxidation, cleaning chemicals, and aging.
Also a simple $10-$20 modification is the tesla logo lights that shine on the ground when you open the doors...i have them in my x
tesla pete Yesssss!!! Just looked it up. Love, love, love it. 💕
Ashley Renne: Travel Lushes 😁😁😁
I watched a video a couple months ago with the Ocean Abstract lights as well. And the owner found out that Tesla actually installed the wires under the seats for the rear passengers. Which is an option to have lights there, in some kinda of upgrade package. Despite him not purchasing that particular package. The wires were there and they worked, so he now has lights for the rear passengers at the floor.
I would love to see a video showing how you wired the dashcam in the Tesla. There are some out there, but not very detailed. Thanks
You should paint the rims gloss black to make the red pop even more!
Wow! The style of this video was really professional! Great content as always can't wait to see what's next! 🙂
Thank you! I try my best to make the videos on here enjoyable for you guys to watch ❤️ So glad you like it!
Modification #5 will shock you to your core!
Paint the rims black! Your wheels and brake callipers will definitely stand out!
Shrey Soni Wow, looks like a lot of people agree! 💙
Ashley Renne: Travel Lushes
I had one more thing in my mind!
You can also wrap your door handles black! It'll look sick!
The Red really does POP!
Thank you! We're really happy with how the red stands out ❤️
Makes sense why you changed the wheels. With the painted calipers they look much better now
Fevian Cortes Thank you 😊 I'm happy with it now that the paint job is done too
Hi Ashley, we have the same Model S! I'm interested in installing the 2 channel dash cam. How did you guys run the cable to the back? Can you link to a tutorial?
I have a Mercedes and at night there are Mercedes emblems on the ground that help you see where your going. You guys should install a Tesla emblem also! (It's located under the mirrors)
You guys should do a full chrome delete to matte or gloss black.
This channel definitely needs to get more subs
Really great videos👌
❤️ Aww thank you! ❤️
Where did you get the dead pedal? I have the gas and brake pedal - but the dead pedal is harder to find.
do a full chrome delete. It is where you cover all chrome bits with either black wrap or plasti dip. goes well with black wheels too!
I would like to see the "tablet style control panel" be adjustable, portrait vs mode.
Do the lights use extra energy to power?
Girl, you two are killin it!!! Love the videos!!
Stevie Porter thank you Stevie! 💙💕
Dashcam instal video and review?
I have a lot of cd's that I still listen to and play often. It would cost a small fortune having to re buy the same music on download. Is there a way to install a external CD player ??

Oh ok, yes I understand that. Leave it to the pros. Great looking Tesla.
I suggested the same thing! I saw it on the Tesla inventory search RUclips channel.
Cole Bender Well great minds do think alike. That's where I saw it too lol
Are white rims a thing? I think it would look nice. White or keep the color
Once again, great job! Awesome content and delivery!
mebeingU2 Thanks so much! 🙏🏽
Put a wing on the back. Several to choose from so select wisely.
Also there's a tesla logo that lights up you should look into it for the back and front logos and get black rims!!
alex tooke I like the lighting of the Tesla emblem idea.
alex tooke I love the Lighted logo idea! We're looking into it. We can't do it for the front, but apparently we can do if for the back. 😊
Paint the rims black
Can you create a video on how you installed the dash cam?
Ashley, Please provide a link where to buy for the foot rest cover. Thanks
So pimp!! the dash cam is cool, never seen one in the back.
Can you install a Flux Capacitor in part 2?
Hahaha!! Yessss Flux Capacitor!
like the tinting and CAM. Good color also
Thank you! 💙
I really appreciate all the links you provided, thx!
No problem! 😗
Great video! I added a power frunk kit to my Model S so it lifts/closes automaticly just like the rear hatch. I love that feature.
Quick question, how do you add heat reduction to the windshield? I would love to do that to mine.
You mentione powder coating or painting the calipers red. What did you guys end up doing and how much did cost?
I really enjoy this channel!
Yay, thanks! 💙
What kind of tint? What % did you get? Car looks fab!
No!!! Don't paint wheels* black! Model S is meant to be a luxury / premium vehicle. Painting them black would only make it look trashy :(..
Other suggestions:
-weathertech floor, trunk, & frunk liners.
-OEM Carbon Fiber spoiler. Mine has it and it REALLY completes the look and gives it that extra sexiness! (In my opinion)
-paint protection film and a glass/ceramic/nano coating on top. BEST way is XPEL with Modesta BC-04 on top of that. Protects paint from chips and large amounts of vandalism and it self heals by heat and sun. It ALWAYS looks clean.
Ooh!! Really like the paint protection idea!! 💙💙
Get black rims. White on black teslas are the best
OMG...I'm featured in your video. I',m going to be RUclips/Tesla famous :) Thanks :) Now I know I'm using your code when I make my order !!!!!!
A. Skegee Powell haha aww thanks!! Yeah, it was a good question! Figured your question would make a good video, so thanks for that! ☺️
Haha, had me thinking "no way!" with the drill to the new car :-) Did you install the dash cam yourselves? If so how easy was the wire routing and power tap? Thanks for another great video! - Rene
rconthenet Haha! 😂😂😂 Would have been the perfect April Fool's Day video. We didn't install the dash cam though. We would have but for the sake of time, we just paid to have it installed. It took a professional 3 hours to install it. Had we attempted to do it, it probably would have taken way longer lol
Black rims would look really good if you decide to paint them! 👌🔥
Black rims matches your red brake calipers similar to What's Inside Family.
👍 for the colour choice. Changing rims could impact mileage & handling (in the long run), particularly if it's not from manufacturer.
M3GA Very true! Thankfully the rims we got are Tesla rims 😁 They are the classic rims that came with the older Teslas. We just preferred the older style Tesla rims to the new ones.
Love your tesla, greetings from el-country Norway
Black rims is ALWAYS good looking 😍
R A Hi!! I hope to visit your country one day soon. I've seen so many amazingly scenic photos of Norway. 😍
Put halo eyes in the headlights to be able to have some color up front.
That was well done, thank you
Do you have a solution for mounting your cell phone?
Where in Atlanta did you get the dash camera installed? Looking for recommendations
What percentage tint did you get on the rear and other four windows?
Karintha Smith hey there! We decided to play it safe and went with the legal limit of 35
Black out your rims that would go do well with the brake calipers
Hello. Where you got the calipers power coated?
Hello, Ashley. It's your fellow Atlantan Tesla owner. Where did you get your calipers painted?
vwilkins1 Hey!! Yessss a fellow ATL-ien! Got the brake calipers done at Butler Tires. We called several Butler Tires shops to get quotes and we picked the one that gave us the best rate, which was the Butler Tires in Alpharetta.
Ashley Renne: Travel Lushes. Thank!!
Cup holders?
Love your videos!
Prateek G Thank you! 😗
How much did they charge you for vegan steering wheel?
courtney Vegan Nothing at all 😊 And Tesla made an announcement that going forward, all their cars will have vegan interiors. At the time when we bought it a little over a month ago, only the white interiors were vegan-friendly. Now all of them will be.
I think I had the pleasure of meeting your husband and beautiful 75D at a Tesla gathering last week.
jay Oh wow!! Yeah! He went to an event in Alpharetta last week. That's so cool 💙
paint the rims black and maybe add some alcantara to the interior
The car already covered with dash cam so I install an extra one
Matte black all of the chrome pieces
That thumbnail though 😂
The New Travel 😂😂😂 lol! My attempt at reenacting Rosie the Riveter 💪🏽
I think if you paint the wheels black It would even more Amazing.
Great video - really nice production value. Yeah, those OEM wheels look much better than the newer slipstreams. I'm thinking of keeping mine for winter wheels and maybe powder-coating them grey for my soon-to-arrive black 75D.

Brain Candy TV Yes I agree - red brake calipers look amazing on black cars and they will look so nice on yours! Karl has a black car with black rims and red brake calipers. It really pops against all the black. ❤️
Paint the chrome parts of the car black or something!!! That would look so cool!!!
Door inserts would be nice--like the Model 3 has.
Cool and useful video! Your are blessed with heavenly beauty too!
Say you should paint rims, probably black, cause that silver now just does not add up to whole car.
GamersName Aww thank you 😇😗
performance upgrade pls
Thoughts on car freshener??
Nice mods, and yup I spotted the doggy cameo!
That's right!! Roxie got her 2 seconds of fame in this one 😂 🐶
Paint the rims a glossy black.
Abstract Ocean is for sure an automatic upgrade everyone must do. It's surprising Tesla just doesn't do it at factory.
The emblem wraps just don't look good at all in general. Keep it chrome and The slipstreams and turbines look better than the 5 point rims for sure. Another one I don't get people getting.
I have the exact same rims and i painted them white
Yes paint the rims black will look much better
Maybe you can be more original and paint rims green or your favorite color?
Don't paint the rims... yuk!
Doesnt tesla have sentry mode tho?
you can do any of these mods to any vehicle I dont understand why they're Tesla specific
Yes you can do these upgrades to any other car.... But these are specific for a Tesla because they are meant for the Tesla LMAO. I swear people get so sensitive about things especially when they can't afford it. 😂😆
Andrew Goldman True 😊 But because we have a Tesla, that's what we make our videos about.
You got yours with a vegan steering wheel? If so, would you say it feels better than leather or worse?
PkmmteXeleon Yep! I think it feels better honestly! Softer to the touch somehow.
Ashley Renne: Travel Lushes That's awesome! I've yet to find a Tesla with a vegan steering wheel!
Is it the same material as the seats? I was afraid they'd use plastic if I requested a non-leather steering wheel.
PkmmteXeleon that's a great question! I Tweeted both Tesla and Elon that question but no response. Surprisingly I don't see anything about it on their website either or when I look it up.
Black rims are getting a bit dated, try painting them white to match the car !
nice looking car. love the mods except for the red T up front. next upgrade should be NVX sub woofer or even a more extensive sound upgrade so we can hear the review!
FoolishlyPatient Didn't think about a sound upgrade! That's a good one 💙🎶
How about a sliver/grey/machined color for the rims. Good looking mods there.
I'd paint the rims black.
You probably won`t do this , but how about some fancy colored lights under the car :D ?
Tech Stuff Hmmm actually that's not a bad idea! I just looked up something along those lines that I think would look really cool! 🤗
The white on white looks great! Paint the rims a red..lol😂🤣
Black would be better. It goes well with white and it will allow the red callipers and highlights to stand out.
paint the rims like the tesla 22" onyx black
Hi, Nice video and Great looking car. I would say leave the rims Silver! They look great with the white car..! Black rims are overdone and look dirty most of the time... :)
Gary Grenier Thanks for your input! Haha I was just telling someone else how surprised I am by how many people suggested black rims.
Yes paint the rims black :)
#IloveBlackTESLAowners
Lucas McNamara ✌🏽💃🏽🕺🏾
Paint the rims!
Add a proctection in the rims

you should wrap your tesla
Black rims
If this was 'car guru' He wouldve shown us how each of these things were done
Great videos Ashley, but please do not pimp this ride. Keep it classy just like you. 😀
Alfredo Leibovici Aww thanks! Don't worry, we won't pimp it 😁 Just a few light enhancements 😘
White wheels.
We would recommend you get the "Lighted T" from evannex that makes the T logo light up. Its pretty cool :)
evannex.com/products/lighted-t
Evoto Rentals Aren't those only available for pre-refresh Teslas?
PkmmteXeleon Yep you're right, it says it on the website. "The Front Lighted T has been designed for all Tesla Model S vehicles from June 2012 - April 2016 and will not be compatible with the new Tesla Model S "refresh" front end design delivered after June 1st, 2016."
Darn it. That would have been so cool! ☺️
But someone just informed me that we can get it for the logo in the back! Just not the front. So that would be pretty cool!
