Your favorite CURRENTLY owned accessories

[TyPope]

Hey, everybody,
I was just checking out the Evannex.com site and there are some neat, apparently well made, accessories for current models. I know there aren't any already made for the Cybertruck and also that there is a long wait till it gets here but I'm curious what accessories for your Tesla that you already own are favorites or "Must-have".

As I wait on my wife's MY, I got her the Fob because she said she wanted one. I also just ordered a Tempered Glass screen protector. I would hope the glass is mostly scratch resistant but don't want to see a bunch of fine scratches in the screen a couple years from now.

What's worth it and what isn't? Help a newbie out, here! Thanks!

I should have added that I was temped by some kind of cover for the key fob. Do those things get all scratched up or do they stay looking nice?

I really really like my 3D MAXpider Custom Fit All-Weather Car Floor Mats for my Model 3. Excellent fit, and quality, with coverage of all of the floor. They are durable and attractive.

If they offer a similiar product for the Cybertruck it will be an immediate purchase as soon as I a) Have my CyberTruck and b) they make the floor mat.

Another "Accessory" I find invaluable on my Model 3 is an IceMule Pro insulated Backpack that I keep in my frunk.

Its basically a soft body cooler that will keep stuff cool for a long period of time. I mostly use it for cold grocery hauling if I am going to multiple stores, but it also amazingly useful for long road trips where you want to keep soda and food cool. Also, it has straps and can be carried on your back like a backpack, so it would work well for outdoor activities.

The IceMule Pro comes in a few sizes. I got the the largest version of the bag which can carry 40 liters.

There is a little cubby hole under the display in the X (and presumably, the S). A couple of people make little drawers that fit in there. Great place for all your charging cards etc.

I'd say a screen protector is a must have.

Various charging adapters, The only one I have ever used is the CHAdeMO but I have used that a lot!

Fob covers for the markings so I can tell which is the front and which is the back.

I heard yesterday from a 3 owner who drives a lot (58000+ miles on his 2018) that the windshields are prone to rockchips. He carries a windshield repair kit. That should not a a CT issue. Anyone else have that issue?

Key fob came with my car. I really like it and no cover needed. I added mud floor mat’s and love them too. RPM Tesla did some trim applications in red and carbon scents.

I got my wife a Jeda wireless charging dock for her phone as well as the Jeda extension module and a large SSD for the dashcam videos. The New models come with wireless charging standard but the SSD should be considered a must-buy for all Tesla owners. I keep my phone in a wallet and it is too thick for the Jeda wireless charging pad (by the way).

Thanks for the reminder. I also got my wire the tire repair kit and a paint repair kit.

Let’s hope it won’t be an issue.

I got Tesla touch up paint kit and had to use it on my door from a shopping parking lot ding. Works pretty good too.

Big time. Does not take long at all on the freeways here In California. Seriously nuts. Especially Subcontractors, private owners that do not use mud flaps at all on their trucks. These subcontractors and bigger work Trucks will have the window chipped fast. These guys Only allow a few feet before they’ll turn in front of you on these freeways. It’s sink or swim. Lol repair kit is smart or safelite auto glass. ?

That's more a SoCal vs NorCal issue, though. You guys have nutty drivers down there!
