What are /r/TeslaModel3's favorite Products & Services?

You can find the kit here. Make sure you get the version for your year - 21 refresh is different.

Center console install takes 10-60min to install, you don't have to take apart anything.

Dash is a bit more since you need to route power there from your center console cig lighter. But again not hard.

You can change the colors to any color via app.

My wife got some sunscreen on her interior (SR+). We use this to clean the inside of our cars:

I haven’t noticed it since.

If it's a small scratch, I've heard this works well. Personally though, I'd wait a bit until you are more used to the dimensions of the car. It will very likely happen again.

I have not used one. If you are interested in alternatives though, I use this one and am pretty happy with it.

I work a night shift every week during which I have a 2.5 hour rest break and I go sleep in the Tesla so I am no stranger to Tesla camping. I sleep really well on this. This mattress fits perfectly and i just roll it back up when I'm done, blanket and all. I find it to be quite comfortable and fast and easy to setup/stow. the only minor complaint I would make is that the Model 3 cargo area is slightly slanted, my mattress does not correct for this, I would hope for $700 the dreamcase does.

These are body pins/push pins/plastic rivets.

Here’s a decent kit with various sizes and the recommended removal tool

This is all you need for the vegan leather, so good!

May not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think they look pretty sharp. Was hesitant on them cause I thought they might be too gaudy, but I’m happy with how it turned out. They’re a rather cheap and easy “upgrade” to do

Here’s a link. Got the one with the dashboard light too. If you’re hesitant on the dashboard part, just get it anyways and you can add down the road if need be. It only comes with the full kit, so that’s the only way to get it. Would suck to have to buy a whole second kit down the road just for the dashboard part

I'd recommend returning that tire repair kit. Literally everyone I have spoken to about it, in person and online has had issues with it. Many have said it didn't work the first time they went to use it, which would make me furious. Just buy a good tire inflator and a good repair kit. The combo units are trash. I have This Pump and have seen many online recommend This Repair Kit I can attest to the pump, its been reliable and I use it a couple time a month for 2 years now.

That nail is absolutely repairable. But if you are 3/32's, you should replace but don't absolutely need to but you will be required to replace - by law - in the near future. So everyone is correct except Tesla.

https://www.discounttire.com/learn/tire-safety

I replace tires for my family's cars (wife, daughter, self) when we hit 3/32's because the traction level is so poor at that point. Legally, you can wait until 1/32's but from a safety perspective, I think 3/32's is the limit.

You could buy your own tread measurement device for under $3 at your local auto parts store or on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Slime-20177-Tread-Depth-Gauge/dp/B007PR7694

I used a Dremel to smooth out the spot, 4 coats of paint and one of the sealant listed below. Very easy and looks good.

I’ve done both the frunk and trunk with new lift struts from Amazon. Since a previous post, a redditer said that you could buy just the trunk ones only, and then use the old trunk ones for the frunk and they should be strong enough to lift the frunk.

My understanding is the official Tesla mats for the Model 3 are in fact made by Weather Tech. Hence why there aren’t any Weather Tech mats if that makes sense.

I personally bought these from Amazon and have been very happy. ToughPRO Tesla Model 3 Floor Mats Set - All Weather - Heavy Duty - Black Rubber -2017-2019 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0792RW471/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qaDdCbGG50EE1

That more or less happens to everyone. The car is wider than any of us are used to by a few inches and the tire itself doesn't stick out... it's really common. But I feel your pain... I did the same thing within the first month when I got the car and I was totally deflated over it too.

You could take it to a body shop - which will likely cost $50-150. Or - since you are likely to do it again - you could just do the poor man's fast fix method which passes the 10ft test (if you look from 10ft or so away, it looks fine) by buying this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/Dupli-Color-AFM0360-Exact-Match-Scratch-Touch-Up/dp/B00HE66OK8

For best results, use some sandpaper to sand the area flat, and then shake it well and apply... but I never do the sandpaper thing any more. It's not a perfect match - it's slightly too dark - but it is very close. think I've scratched my rims about 6-8 times over my 29 months of ownership (Feb. 2018 to now). I just go out now and again and touch them up... they look ok as long as you don't look too closely.

After a lot of research, I bought this one. The back is precut into small section so you won't mess up while installing. I am very pleased with its quality.

I went with this one. Great so far! Rightcar Solutions Flawless Silicone License Plate Frame - Rust-Proof. Rattle-Proof. Weather-Proof. - Black https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07CV5PLFM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_94BGENEHETJE9X1743M9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I recommend getting a Snow Joe in the future. It’s basically a foam head used as a broom/to push the snow off, with a scraper on the other end. Great way to clear the snow off a car.

I did the same thing to my rear drivers side door, and tried those vinyl repair kits on amazon. Don’t do it, it’s just glue and food coloring… 🤦‍♂️

I ended up finding this after a couple months and it was a perfect fix. Can barely see a seam.

Tesla Model 3 Model Y Neon Light Tubes RGB Interior LED Strip Lights with App Controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0899XBHMG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_344hFbN4FBRFN

I bought it with just the center console as doing the dash will make you do wiring that can void warranty, however the variant I bought is not an option with them anymore.

Thing to note. Tesla released an update that continuously runs the 12v cigarette lighter port even after you have left the car even with the extra features off (cabin overheat, sentry, etc). These lights plug into that port. So if you don’t manually press the button to turn them off or do it via the app ok your phone, the lights will constantly run. Hopefully they have an update that turns off that port when the car is asleep. Buuuut. It looks super nice. You can change to any color and hook it up to play to music. I reaaaaally dig the blue though. There’s a timer function in the app. We’ll post here to update on whether it actually works and turns off and on at appropriate times.

Also if you are wondering. It’s a very thin strip of transparent plastic with a thin transparent tube for the light to travel through inside. It does NOT stick out by any means during the day and is extremely unnoticeable. My family didn’t even notice it was there

My fiancée and I usually use our frunks to carry take out (keeps the smell outta the cabin), and sometimes for small grocery trips. We wanted a cooler to help regulate temperature, and also contain any potential spills.

I’m also gonna be taking my Model 3 for its first road trip next weekend so figured it would be nice to have one.

Not sure if we have optimized the space in there, maybe there’s a cooler that fits better but I like that there’s still some space to the side and a bit of space above to store other things.

It’s a Coleman 24 can Party Stacker. For some reason the Red is a bit cheaper than the other colors (if only that were the case for the cars!): https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-25-Quart-Party-Stacker-Cooler/dp/B00363PSBE?th=1&psc=1

And the post that I found it from

https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaLounge/comments/ahnpzf/found_a_great_use_for_the_frunk_on_road_trips/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app

Waze and Pocketcasts for me.

I just installed TeslAA and have a hacky version working now in my Model 3. The one thing I really wanted was Waze, it's just better at navigating dense urban environments usually. Plus I find the alerts much better (cops, debris, etc.).

Having support for other apps that Tesla doesn't is nice too. Like Tidal and Abetterrouteplanner.

No, but super easy to run a 12v plug out the center console, under the removable carpet, under the seats, and into the sub trunk. See the video at the end of the photos.

You can grab the mod here. They’re aluminum and have adhesive on the back to stick to the existing Rimetrix caps. You just have to take a Sharpie and run it around the edges before applying cause the exposed aluminum stands out.

Yes,

I bought this... Amazon Dead Pedal Link

But the trick is to take the tape off the back. (comes off pretty easy)

Then put on velcro strips....Amazon Velcro Link

Works perfectly on the carpet and matches my Performance Pedals from Abstract Ocean.

Holds up great so far. About 6 months.

Maxpider and it isn’t close IMO. They are a perfect fit and look great. You can get them about $30 cheaper if you look off Amazon, but will have them in two days from Amazon.

Sorry about that! Just a cheap and cheerful Amazon purchase that I installed myself.

Link! I think black works best for our black tinting roof.

The red thing is a seatbelt cutter/window breaker I thought looked neat, and it didn't hurt to have.

The other one is a screen cleaner/wiper all in one.

Another group of us (regardless of ceramic) highly recommend ONR with two bucket and microfiber for drying.

Personally, I use ONR, be sure to wash top down, with a mit, no foam cannon here, leaving the lower door and quarter panels for last just before rims. Dry the same way. Then I take the micro and wrong out and wipe down the interior, console, dash and screen.

I finish with a clean micro and use Opti-Seal on the entire car outside including the windows, pillars, top, etc…

Opti-Seal

The entire wash takes 20 minutes. Super simple. I want to take care of it, but it is a car to me and I don’t want to slave over it.

Hope this helps a bit.

I installed a hose/wire hook on the side of the fence to hang everything up. It’s protected by the roof overhang so its kept out of the sun and rain when not in use.

I use this . Fair warning: that might not be exactly the link I purchased from. I forget. So double check the measurements of the box on Amazon and your required size of the charger. Can just look at “cord organizer box” on Amazon and tons come up

But yea I put a cable lock around the outside of the box tight enough so it can move. Then I drilled a tiny hole in the down hill side (I park on a slight hill) bottom for drainage in case any water does get in. Taped it up best I could with electrical tape. Has worked for 8+ months now in all weather types

This one fits mine perfectly and you get frunk and subtrunk

I have the 3M Paint Protection Film under them, basically cut to shape maybe a little bigger. Then apply the PPF and sticker goes on top

Also pro tip: I used the leftover PPF on the foot bottoms of the rear doors. I got kids and just by looking at the PPF, it’s definitely protected the car every time the get in and out.

I did it the hard way and borrowed a 5" sander with several discs of sandpaper, so I only spent about $15 for the paint. The 5" sander was way too big to control for such a small area, and in retrospect, it would be way easier if you have a cordless drill and just pick up a 2" or 3" foam disc adapter like this with some pieces of sandpaper. Start with a lower grit like 80, then go over the areas two or three more times with higher grits to make them smooth. Then just clean and touch up with paint.

It may not be 100% perfect doing it yourself, but the paint is a perfect match, and honestly it's a huge waste of money to get this done professionally unless you are super picky.

This is what you need...ed. https://www.amazon.com/SNOBRUM-Push-Broom-Extendable-Telescoping-Scratching/dp/B0141HVAZG/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=snow+brum&qid=1608258730&sr=8-5

Amazon

For the Tesla logos, I used a decal actually. Found it on Amazon in a satin black, so matches the door handle style ( Custom Cut Graphics Logo Decal Wrap for Tesla Model 3, 2 pc-Set (Satin Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P61SRSG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_039FXTJAWJHTYPH4P1RX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 ). It goes right over the T. Leaves a little bit of chrome around the edges, but looks great. It comes with one for front and one for back.

For dual motor, used this one from Abstract Ocean ( https://abstractocean.com/products/dual-motor-emblem ). This required that I actually pull off the original dual motor, so had to use a heat gun, dental floss, and goo-gone to clean original badge location - then made sure to use a level to get the new one on straight.

Ok people. For those of you so freaked out about panel gaps, enough of the unmeasured photos. We can’t tell by any single photo unless there is a gross misalignment and then, it’s obvious.

Do yourself a favor and buy a panel gap gauge. Panel Gap Gauge

Then measure said panel gaps and compare against industry standards. Look at both size and consistency. And then schedule service with Tesla if needed.

I use my center console as a 40oz holder too 😂. I have a 32oz bottle and i’ve seen people use this cup holder and it fits into your regular cup center cupholders.

It’s evaporator coil cleaner. The evap itself is in the car.

I used this because it was on prime and has a hose, but they are all basically the same.

After seeing mobile tech use the Milwaukee Tire gauge and inflator, I picked up the inlfator only (no battery, which I already had), for $79 at Home Depot and keep it in the frunk with a puncture patch kit. I like that you set the digital gauge to pressure you want.

Use a QR code generator to create a QR code that sends a message to your cell phone number. I used https://www.qr-code-generator.com/

Print it with a nice message.

Use the Tesla Tasker plugin available on the store ($1)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crazydog.teslatasker

Create a profile triggered when receiving an SMS that contains a given text, in my case "could you release the plug".

Create a task linked to that profile: 1. Releases the plug though the Tesla plugin 2. Sends a text message back to the sender saying "Plug has been released, will lock again in about 1 minute. When you are done, please text back "Open the charge port" to open the port and plug my vehicle back. Thank you!"

Create another profile triggered when receiving an SMS that contains "Open the charge port"

Create a task linked to that profile: 1. Opens the charge port 2. Sends a text message back saying "Port is open, you can now plug my vehicle. Thank you and have a nice day!"

Maybe once every few months. It’s a bastard to rub in. I use this for my regular cleaning.

I think a lot of people use baby wipes too.

This is the one I use and I love it! great quality, simple install and looks factory (with the carbon fiber wrap I did over the piano black center console of course

I didn’t wrap my console but hated how standard coffee cups were not snug.

So this has ended up as one of my fav accessories, and I love that I can easily take it out to clean -

Not sure if/when these will come back in stock, but I bought these a few weeks ago for my 2021 M3 and happy with the purchase:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YPTK2M4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_AQPZEWS1EFFD9RJABKJ9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I paid $140 and it includes a trunk mat.

For regular E26 lightbulb sockets I’ve been happy with these

Yes, mine just pop in like the Aero covers. I got them on Amazon. I got the Titanium Deep Gray with the red T.

I got these… not picking my car up till next week so can’t give you a review from experience - but they look and feel really nice! However, they do seem like they may be a bit slick when wet. But I think I will be happy with them for the price.

I use one of these suction cups I picked up from Amazon. Super easy to remove center caps when needed.

Definitely a screen protector! I bought this one from Amazon

Then I’d definitely recommend a holder for your charger, I bought this one

BMZX Charging Cable Organizer,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0799GVJWN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I also got the all weather mats from Tesla for the inside and the trunk, a lot easier on the cleaning with those. Definitely recommend.

I’d also recommend the 360 protectant spray for the dash!

That’s probably all I can think about… since you got the 2021 model you can probably get the center console organizer as well.

Congrats on your new Tesla!

May wanna look into a proper split if you're dedicated on doing it this way .

I use the following 2 items to reduce the changing of the cabin filter. Catches a lot of stiff before getting to the cabin filter. Takes seconds to replace after opening the Frunk.

Disregard the sound dampening effects; it makes the trunk look so much cleaner when it covers the exposed metal.

Yup those hard plastics can get scratched just by looking at them LOL! Due to my OCDness, I bought a bunch of these felt sheets and cut them to specification. They actually adhere pretty well and after over a year, they're still stuck on. Now I have a piece of mind the hard plastic won't get scratched up.

that sounds neat. do you use that one or the leather one? CarPro CQuartz Leather & Vinyl 50mL Kit - Hydrophobic & Oil Phobic https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NBLYQSS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_0S28TEXEYTBWV2YAY9RB

Used this since 2019 on my M3 white seats. It’s safe and does the job. The baby wipes work for emergencies too.

Any good quality flash drive/SSD should work just fine. The service center must have spare Tesla USB flash drive for testing. They can easily find out if a "Tesla USB flash drive" would fix your problem.

And after all, the Tesla USB flash drive is just a rebranded Samsung drive. This one: Amazon.com: Samsung BAR Plus USB 3.1 Flash Drive 128GB - 300MB/s (MUF-128BE3/AM) - Champagne Silver: Computers & Accessories

You can try a factory resetting your system too. It's in the Service menu.

Just get an interior cleaner. Something like this.

Get a suction cup from Amazon to remove the center caps. Easy. https://www.amazon.com/Kaisiking-Suction-Computer-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B077QP2QG5/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=suction+cup&qid=1609952059&sr=8-8

Dog Car Seat

That’s the one we use. Our dog is 12 lbs and the leash that secures her to the seat belt and bed attaches to the back of her harness.

The other option is to pick up a set of RV leveling blocks. I bought these and have been pretty happy with them.

Plus, if you end up in sand, they work great at providing a stable surface for the car to drive on.

Yes. Did it a couple weeks ago with my buddy who also has a 3. We used a cheap Amazon kit but it had great reviews and worked great. If you block out a Saturday to do it and can leave the car garaged until Monday, then it’s totally doable yourself. Mild experience with auto detailing (wax, etc.) helps but is not necessary.

I purchased them from Amazon. They actually come with 4 additional pieces for the console. Definitely worth their price.

For the rear portions where the chrome meets in a triangular shape, I bought 3M 5ftx1ft rolls to do it in one piece

I had a film on the inside of my car (I also had the same on my Prius for years) that didn’t come off with window cleaner. I tried a few things but what finally worked was this microfiber scrubbing pad: Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponges for Kitchen by Scrub- it - Non-Scratch Microfiber Sponge Along with Heavy Duty Scouring Power - Effortless Cleaning of Dishes, Pots and Pans All at Once (6 Pack, Small) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NV1Z9CG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_4yaAFb9MMXBQ3

I sprayed window cleaner on the scrubber side and put in some elbow grease then used the soft side to wipe it down with window cleaner again.

Just hook it up under the phone pad (which your car will have the wireless phone charger pad in it) and plug it in. Then go to the screen and go to settings and go to display I think and then go to format drive. You will need to look it up as I don’t remember.

Don't go for the Tesla one. I found a really cheap one on Amazon, it does the job just fine. I bought it because I needed to leave it unplugged for a few weeks during the summer (to limit vampire drain). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SZJ22Q6/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_SrOdEbF4BA2HE

Sorry to tell you, but dog hair is inevitable. The best solution is the good ol’ vacuum cleaner. You can keep a duster handy to wipe the hair from the seat to the floor and then vacuum later on.

Not sure how big your dog is, but I have a car seat for my Frenchie. I bought this one and it works well. Also helps to prevent paws/claws on the seats.
