    Option 1: remove the two bracket screws, hook the bracket on the lip, slide the seats forward and screw it in. John's faster way: set it in place and push. It stays nice and snug.

0:22Good boy John, we are back again here with another video.

0:25We have something for the new Mont Y

0:26so if you guys are interested in summertime

0:28you know, you're going on road trips and whatnot.

0:31I have a little fridge on the second row.

0:33So this one holds cans, and as a father

0:36I got some baby balls, whatnot.

0:38So, always good to keep things chill.

0:41Very fast shipping, very.

0:42Very easy to install.

0:44And the unit doesn't take that much room

0:46in the middle second row, which is impressive.

0:49While holding like multiple cans.

0:52So this is like a, you know

0:54one of those energy drinks, Kirk Lynch, shout out.

0:57But look, fits in there right there, you can put

1:00you can probably put four cans

1:01and it's very easy to install.

1:04You get a little bracket right here

1:07and all you do is actually just push it in

1:09and it kinda just locks in place.

1:11That's it.

1:12As far as power and like plug and playness

1:15it just uses the USB.

1:16So the USB in the Tesla is actually enough to power it.

1:21So if yours are interested

1:22I'll leave a link right here below.

1:24So let's go to the install.

1:26All right, so we're in the second row here

1:29and you can see there's plenty of room right here.

1:33There's like a cavity you don't really use.

1:35So this isn't taking any space.

1:37Now in the middle row, like the second row of middle seat

1:41who really sits here?

1:42I'll show you how I am as a six foot person

1:45sitting in the middle.

1:46But, here we go here.

1:48So if you look down here, it's really dark

1:51but where this carpet meets this kind of center section

1:55there's a little lip.

1:57So you kinda just?

1:58Just hook that on that piece of that lip right there.

2:02And for me, you could either take this

2:04these two screws out, hook it on the lip right here

2:08push the chairs forward, and then screw it in like this.

2:11Or for what I would do, from my experience

2:15do it really fast is you just honestly

2:17just put it in like this, and then you just push it in.

2:20It's on there good.

2:21And if you wanna tighten anything

2:24but it's on there, nice, nice and snug.

2:28And all you have to do is to power the unit itself.

2:33It's like that.

2:34And 5C is as low as it goes.

2:37So it defaults to the cooling mode.

2:39You can increase the temperatures.

2:41Now, the condenser fan is actually pretty quiet.

2:45It's quiet, it's as quiet as maybe

2:49or I have it at seven degrees on the fan

2:51I don't know if the fan speed on the Tesla is.

2:59It's on medium speeds here.

3:02here

3:03forget about it, you're not gonna hear it.

3:05Now, if you had the fans off

3:07you could hear like a pop kind of whirl.

3:09So it's not too distracting or anything.

3:11It's just something that you could set it and forget it

3:14and not have to worry too much about it.

3:16Now, the next thing is you can increase the temperatures here

3:19and also there is another functionality

3:22where you can apply a heat mode.

3:25And the heat mode is just to keep things warm

3:28and stuff like that.

3:29And see how far it can go up.

3:31So 50C, that's pretty warm.

3:35Let's keep it on the cool mode.

3:37That's what I'm gonna be using most of the time.

3:39And I just love how this USB can power a refrigerator.

3:43That's actually kind of mind blowing.

3:45As far as what's inside here, you got this nice gasket.

3:50Remember, you can fit multiple cans.

3:52And even though I just plugged it in

3:55and I was kind of testing it earlier

3:56within like five, 10 minutes, it actually got really cool.

4:00So that's always really nice.

4:01And the can is cold to the touch already

4:04even though I've only been testing it for five minutes.

4:07And yeah, you can remove this little grill right here

4:14to add larger items.

4:15Let's say you got takeout or whatnot.

4:17You can put it in here, but you can put the can this way

4:22but I think for most people, drinks would be ideal.

4:26And you can hold like four can soda cans

4:29or like in this case, I like to drink a little energy

4:33drinks, especially if I'm going on. on road trips

4:35from North cow to So-Cow, you want your drinks cold.

4:39All right, so yeah, where I left off

4:42was that you can fit four soda cans

4:45and you just get a lot of space as a test.

4:49So I'm very comfortable in this suit right here.

4:52And obviously the Model Y has excellent middle row

4:56because there is a flat floor, there's no transmission hub.

5:00So this is something I can do to consider right here.

5:04As far as leg room, I guess if I wanted to be in between

5:09you can see my toes right here.

5:11It's not bad, six feet tall.

5:16This would be my probably more ideal, comfortable

5:19than the people in the middle sides

5:22can utilize all this space.

5:31space because this section right here

5:34it goes so deep without you realizing it.

5:37So you're not, it doesn't feel like you're losing much.

5:40You gain a refrigerator slash like a heater

5:44to have to eat your food, which is also a plus. l

5:47But yeah, if you guys are interested in this product

5:49I'll leave it down a link down below.

5:51The quality is really nice soft touch material right here

5:53like a rubber soft touch.

5:55I had the screen protector on

5:57but you can remove the screen protector.

5:59I just think I like the overall aesthetic of it.

6:01It matches.

6:02It's like design for the interior of the Model Y.

6:05So you can see how this lip goes up
