You can buy the parts for a 50 amp plug much cheaper than the Tesla wall connector and have an electrician install. I paid about $35 for materials compared to the wall connector at $500. Electrician prices can vary drastically based on what state you're in. In TN I paid $150 for the install. You can get a charger holder like this for around $16 and your overall price is significantly cheaper:
I recommend getting it before you get your car. I waited until after and wish I wouldn't have. It did make me appreciate the difference in plugging into 110/15amp vs 240/50 amp. Good luck!
Yeah I'm in outside sales. I risked no front plate for a while but decided with driving in multiple cities a day and 200-300 miles some days it wasn't worth it.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HHMD4CX/ is the one I got. Three minute install, it's great.
These are the ones I purchased. Definitely helps keeping that sun from burning the top of my head while driving and they match the interior fairly well
I got these. Blacks out the whole window pretty good. Except the little triangle window in the back is really tight. So don't use those.

I bought these and they work great.

Sorry, typo. Folding traction mats, something like these.

There is no product that I'm aware of that is a traction aid made to be used before you get stuck, like snow chains but for sand. My other vehicle is a nissan frontier with oversized tires and everything I would recommend you do, you can't do like air down. Your best bet is to stick to the firm sand and do not stop. You stop, you sink. The m3 is very heavy and has small tires so ground pressure is very high.

Here you go Korean plush micro fiber. This is just one of many brands and sizes.
The Tesla is my fifth one in the house, though one is actually not actively in use right now. This worked nicely in the car:

I think what you need to do is go get about 4 of the gallon sized DampRid moisture absorbers. Put them in the car and leave it sealed for a week.
This is the one I've gotten and have not had any issues with rattling. Maybe check to see if they are securely inplace?

As far as I know, no colors, but I bought them on Amazon from here.

I got some generic looking ones without much obnoxious branding. The main problem with them is the clips at the top that are meant to go on the headrest are too wide to fit. Even grinding them down as far as I could without making them snap. There's basically no room to fit clips on like that. I ended up just wrapping a piece of paracord under the headrest and trying it to the mat to hold it up. I don't use the strap that's meant to go around the lower part of the seat either, just the clips under the seat. Not necessarily a recommendation, but they work all right. My small kids constantly have their feet on the back of the seat. These are cheap, don't scuff up as easily as the seat back, look unobtrusive enough, and wipe down much easier than the bare seat back when dirty.
Not the cheapest but I’ve seen these reviewed on YouTube from trusted reviewers and I ordered these. Great Amazon reviews, too.
They blend a tasteful sleekness with an easy to clean surface. Not bulky at all which I think the 3D’s bulk ones goes against the rest of the Tesla’s look.

I have the 2021 LR, received it last week. I went with the 3D MAXpider mats and they’re really nice. I had husky mats on my last car and weathertech before that but these are a different kind of material and are much nicer in my opinion.

Found this one too a little cheaper. They are all the same stuff made in China.

I have young kids so it’s almost a necessity.
It's on sale right now on Amazon:
I would want to get that out in case you travel to another astate where they might have an issue.
Looking at the weather tech mats because it’s a very easy way to keep the car clean. I own a detailing company and a client of mine has a model 3. Vacuuming the floor is very hard and takes a while to get all the pieces out so that’s why I’m getting the weather tech mats I can hose off.

Oh and I google 2021 Tesla Model 3 update every day to see if there is any update😂
Go on Amazon and get the cigarette lighter inverter... I have something like this myself. BYGD 150W Car Power Inverter DC 12V to 110V AC Converter with 3 Charger Outlets and Dual 2.4A USB Ports Cigarette Lighter Socket Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H96NPZG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mo-EDbXTBP3VB
I am not sure what Tesla's specs are (USB2 or USB3), but the one I got (which our Model3 hasn't complained) is a USB3. Heres the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BPG9YX9?
Mine is only 128GB, but I got it anyways because I was getting tired of comparing USBs on Amazon and somewhere (either in reviews or some other forum) someone mentioned this one worked for their Tesla.
These work perfectly for me. You just have to be careful, only one side of the splitter is for data so you have to plug your usb drive into a specific side, it’s easy to figure out. I use all 4 - wireless charging pad (takes 2), a usb thumb drive, and an extra charging cable for faster charging if needed.

I hate the Tesla floor mats as they are split in the back. I bought these two years ago and love them, they’re just the right thickness, they’re durable, easy to clean, the grid locks crap onto it, and it’s one long piece foe the back.

Model 3 jack pads, not every shop has them, but they're essential if you end up needing a patch on your tire like I did
not essential, but things I really like for camping:
cooler that basically fits in the subtrunk I use it a ton for groceries so ice cream doesn't melt in between stores
mattress that fits in the car for car camping, surprisingly comfy
I use the taptes usb hub and an SD with high sustained write speeds with a generic adapter. At the time, it was kind of hard to find storage that could handle the sustained writes, but there might be more options now.
I just went through the same searching process and ended up buying this one for $15. Not as pretty as the Covercraft but so far it gets the job done, and is easy to fold up and tuck under the seats.
I bought some cheapo's on Amazon and they're garbage. The old ones were german (mehle I believe), next time I'll be trying to buy Mehle again.
These are what I bought: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0839C86R3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've got a Roadie on order - hoping it's a great solution.
If you'd rather use something that costs less you should probably look for a high endurance microSD card. It's notoriously easy to fry a microSD card by continuously recording video to it. There are some tricks one can do to make the card last longer but Tesla doesn't do them. And there's ways to burn the card out faster and Tesla is guilty of at least one of those. So... You do what you can.
Amazon has a 32GB high speed, high endurance Samsung card right now for $10 - we allowed to link here?
That leaves you needing a MicroSd USB adapter. My work had many dozens of them that came with some cards we used to use, so I 'borrowed' one. You might have luck with this inexpensive and well reviewed one.
But, really, as /u/teebonez28 says... Roadie.
I’d highly recommend to get this usb reader instead the one posted above hasn’t been working for me and many others after recent updates:

Better than a Sandisk extreme go 64gb? https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01NARBPI7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_er1TDb6RA7AJR
And better than a Wd passport? https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01LQQH86A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9s1TDb6GEYH3C
Ive used both with the same problem occurring shortly after starting driving.
