Tesla Model S Coat Hooks Review
Hanging your dry cleaning couldn’t be any easier with removable aftermarket Tesla Model S coat hooks.
Like many other Model S owners I found it an oddity that Tesla decided to omit coat hooks from the interior of the car. I’ve searched high and low, only to find a handful of creative DIY solutions ranging from double sided tape, felt hooks and various odd approaches. But none seemed like a viable option until I came across the EVannex ‘HookUp’ Tesla Model S coat hooks solution.
Initial Impressions
Packaging was simple with instructions, the two hooks and a EVannex brochure delivered in an envelope. The hooks look to be very well made and built specifically for their advertised purpose – hanging things in the Tesla Model S.
Installation
Installation can’t get any simpler than this. No tools or even skill is required to install these Tesla Model S coat hooks. Even a young child can probably figure out how to install these on their own.
The hooks are not permanent and can be easily added or removed as you see fit. Simply place them within your glovebox or center console when not in use, and retrieve them when needed.

The coat hooks slide in-between the roof and the headliner and lock into place with a light twist and pull. Before installing these I had never really looked at this headliner gap but it’s the perfect place for adding an aftermarket Tesla Model S coat hook.
Here are some before and after pictures of the installation:
Functionality
I tried hanging a few different types of garments on the EVannex Model S coat hooks, both with coat hangers and without. I tried my normal sports jacket, one of my wife’s dresses, and then a really heavy leather bomber jacket.
One of the things Evannex cautions on is to not exceed 4 pounds per hook. There’s no metal or any reinforcement along that Tesla Model S headliner ridge to provide strong support so you don’t want to pull down too hard on these coat hooks and stress the headliner. A few business jackets per hook, or a single leather bomber per hook is risk-free territory. Anything more and you may end up stressing the mounting point and risk creasing or damaging the headliner.
That being said, the hook easily handled my heavy leather jacket. Due to the weight of the jacket it doesn’t hang well on a coat hanger so I decided to just hang it by the loop within the jacket. The hook can hang coat hangers or anything that has a loop on it. Hanging my suit jacket from a hangar would leave the lower portion touching the seat. While securing it by the loop within the jacket lifted it from touching the seat, but this is no different than any other car with a coat hook.
Conclusion
Frankly it’s hard to imagine EVannex doing much better with this. These aftermarket Tesla Model S coat hooks are reasonably priced at $8.95 for a set of two. They work well, are simple to install, easily removable and can support up to 4 pounds of hanging strength. What’s not to love about that?
NOTE: The HookUp coat hooks are only available for models that have the panoramic roof option.
Elon Musk has been pretty open about the idea of FSD being the difference maker for Tesla’s future.
If Tesla succeeds in achieving FSD, it could become the world’s most valuable company. If it doesn’t, then the company would not be able to reach its optimum potential.
FSD Supervised’s safety benefits:
- But even if FSD is still not perfect today, FSD Supervised is already making a difference on the roads today.
- This was highlighted in Tesla’s Q4 2024 Vehicle Safety Report.
- As per Tesla, it recorded one crash for every 5.94 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology.
- For comparison, the most recent data available from the NHTSA and FHWA (from 2023) showed that there was one automobile crash every 702,000 miles in the United States.
This morning, Tesla FSD proved to be an absolute godsend. I had to take my brother-in-law to the hospital in Sugar Land, TX, which is 40 miles away, at the ungodly hour of 4 AM. Both of us were exhausted, and he was understandably anxious about the surgery.

The convenience of…
FSD user’s tale:
- As per an FSD user’s post on social media platform X, FSD Supervised was able to help him drive a relative to a medical facility safely even if he was exhausted.
- During the trip, the driver only had to monitor FSD Supervised’s performance to make sure the Tesla operated safely.
- In a vehicle without FSD, such a trip with an exhausted driver would have been quite dangerous.
- “This morning, Tesla FSD proved to be an absolute godsend. I had to take my brother-in-law to the hospital in Sugar Land, TX, which is 40 miles away, at the ungodly hour of 4 AM. Both of us were exhausted, and he was understandably anxious about the surgery.
- “The convenience of sending the hospital’s address directly from my iPhone to my Tesla while still inside my house, then just a single button press once inside, and 40 miles later we were precisely in front of the hospital’s admissions area.This experience really underscores just how transformative this technology can be for society,” Tesla owner JC Christopher noted in his post.

There are few things that prove an enthusiast’s love towards a company more than a dedicated short film. This was highlighted recently when YouTube’s SoKrispyMedia posted a 10-minute action movie starring Optimus, Tesla’s humanoid robot, as well as several of the company’s most iconic products.
The video:
- Shot like a Hollywood action flick, the video featured a rather humorous plot involving a group of thieves that mistakenly targeted a Tesla Model 3 driver.
- The Model 3 driver then ended up speaking to Tesla for assistance, and some high-octane and high-speed hijinks ensued.
- While the short film featured several Tesla products like the Model 3, Superchargers, and the Cybertruck, it is Optimus that truly stole the show.
- Optimus served several roles in the short film, from an assistant in a Tesla office to a “robocop” enforcer that helped out the Model 3 driver.

Cool inside jokes:
- The best Tesla videos are those that show an in-depth knowledge of the company, and SoKrispyMedia definitely had it.
- From the opening scenes alone, the video immediately poked fun at TSLA traders, the large number of gray Tesla owners, and the fact that many still do not understand Superchargers.
- The video even poked fun at Tesla’s software updates, as well as how some Tesla drivers use Autopilot or other features without reading the fine print in the company’s release notes.
- The video ended with a tour de force of references to Elon Musk products, from the Tesla Cybertruck to the Boring Company Not-a-Flamethrower, which was released back in 2018.
