I custom designed an easily removable Valentine1 mount for the model 3 and model Y.
That I 3d print out of advanced High temp plastic.

Valentine1 v2 radar detector removable mount for Tesla model 3 and model Y | eBay
Easy to use, REMOVABLE Valentine1 v2 radar detector mount for both Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. Gof mount for Valentine1 installation. This mount will hold the radar detector rigidly attached to the center screen.

Nothing beats the Valentine One. Except for the ****ing glass windshield of the stupid ass Tesla lol.I custom designed an easily removable Valentine1 mount for the model 3 and model Y.

I wish they had the "open space" in the older cars but nope full coverage of the metallic coating over the whole damn windshield.
I have a whistler in mine and it works reasonably good but not eventually remotely close the the V1. I have it mounted to the bumper behind the nosecone and the display under the driver's side vent on the dash.

I've tried remote radar detectors - dual Stinger VIP and dual ALP (so both support directional warning). I still say V1 + an app for auto muting (speed based and learned known falses) works better than others, particularly for BSM filtering and directional indicator. Coated windows do impede windshield mounted detectors though. I used remote mount along side V1 for additional information. Since I have shielding windows right now (my Tesla had them too), I am seriously considering just mounting the V1 on the roof in some sort of weatherproof enclosure. Perhaps make it into a project, consolidate radar warnings from the remote mount ALP's and roof mounted V1, give me some consolidated information.

Did you turn off K band?My V1 gets a strong signal from the automatic doors at the local gas stationin my 2021 Model S Plaid.
I mount it here:
I drive 40-45K miles per year across a few different vehicles, and I'm extremely happy with V1G2. Though I'm an iPhone guy, I keep an old Android on one of the charger pads running JBV1. If you haven't tried that app integrated to V1G2 by bluetooth, it is an extremely effective countermeasures solution for those who drive long distances.

Typically K band opens automatic doors. With the exception of some very small, poor towns cops don't use K band anymore. Suggest you turn off K band but leave KA band turned on.

Welcome to Tesla and their continuous production changes. Out of 4 Model S'es I owned, 2 of them has windshields which blocked radar (easily confirmed by parking with a V1 in front of a radar source like a supermarket door opener, comparing signal strength through the windshield vs. sticking the detector out the window), and 2 of them had no shielding at all. Both my and my wife's car today (non-Tesla, we switched from all-Tesla to all-VWAG garage) have shielded windshields which block radar. Lucky VW provides an area on the windshield where you can mount a toll pass, which is not shielded. With Tesla, one of the two shielded vehicles had such area (I had to find it myself), and one did not. Even the one that did though, the area was too small for V1, it worked ok for a toll tag though. For my Tesla, I ended up with a front+back Stinger VIP install. One nice thing with a remote install, you get laser jamming, which is absolutely required to beat laser equipped LEOs - just a laser detector is nothing more than a ticket indicator, it lets you know you've been clocked, too late to do anything about it. That said, I was still clocked once by an airplane.
My V1 goes off when LEOs come by the other way with their rolling radar.
On my BMW M60 EV SUV the windshield actually turns color when you turn it off in cold weather.
there's a spot in the top center that is for toll tags and radar detectors.
another member uses a blendmount on his BMW and he is happy with it.
