Anticipation: What Accessories Did You Buy Before Delivery?

[mrwug]

Tell me more about how I can arrange this.......I have a small jump starter that I'd like to keep in the frunk in case my 12V battery dies, but I don't know how to get in the frunk without a jump starter.

If you search amazon for "12v battery" they sell a bunch of small cells (similar size to AA) that can be used to pop the frunk.

The question is where to store it, if the main car 12v fails?

Probably worthy of another thread / discussion and not get too bogged down in this generic accessories thread.

I was thinking I would just carry one in my knapsack or purse, but in doing a search, it seems like some people store one or two in the compartment with the wires. You could tag them with a long piece of tape, or in a bag with some tape to secure it within reach.

Ok I got it. So a small 12v behind the tow eye to open the frunk, then a larger 12v jump pack in the frunk to actually open the vehicle / start it?

That's my plan, and I hope I never need it. Those little NOCO boosters are so small and convenient, that they're perfect for the frunk.

IMO I’d get the car first and see what you actually want before buying a bunch of stuff you realize you don’t really need. A couple things I would consider in advance though would be: third party front license plate mount (if your state requires front plates; the included tesla mount glues onto your bumper), PPF (if you go this route its better to do it sooner than later), and winter tires (if you’re getting a MYP and your climate requires it).



Anyway heres my list of recs:


Things I like and I wouldn’t want to do without:

Window tint

Autailors 9 piece floor mats (love these)

Rear back seat covers

Jowua tray organizer (easy to clean and can slide out of place)

USB-C adapters

Air Compressor (and grab a plug kit if your comfortable working on a flat)



Things I like but could live without:

BougeRV trunk organizer (I keep it in the subtrunk with my detailing supplies)

Basenor Mudflaps (Depends where you drive and how much you care if your car is dirty; didn't bother with the rears)

Armrest organizer

Endurance 256gb microSD + Reader (a 128gb will be just fine. Or just use the tesla branded one until it fails and snag a backup drive when its on sale)

Trash bin

Tire tread gauge



Things I have but in hindsight would have skipped:

J1772 Adapter Lock (unless you frequent a charger where this is an issue I wouldn't bother)

Jack pads (A must if you lift your car at home, otherwise most shops these days are comfortable lifting teslas and have their own)

Matte Screen Protector (Really just a finger print eliminator for me. May be different if you have kids or juggle knives).

Silcone cup holder (I like this style because its easier to clean but found most reusable bottles/thermos fit better without it)



Cosmetic items that I like but you may not:

PPF

Performance Pedals

Blue front footwell lights

Tesla logo puddle lights (stock lights are pretty useless)

Center console RGB kit



Things I skipped:

Phone mount (never really need to touch my phone when driving and the tesla tax thing on these things are silly)

USB Hub (four USB C ports already in reach, no need)

Keyfob (phone works just fine)

Roof Shade (stock heat rejection seemed fine to me at the tail end of summer, but may reconsider next year)

Cargo cover (would probably spring for this but my trunk is usually empty and can place smaller valuables in frunk)


Apps I like:

Tessie (great interface, responsive dev, tons of features, and doesn't sell your data)

Teslamate (free option, still running this but find tessie much easier to use)


No rinse detailing kit (I keep it in my subtrunk to wash in my apartment complex garage)
ONRWW
Opti-seal (great for helping to dry the car)
Big red sponge
Bug scrubber sponge
Tire gel (not glossy enough for me)
Tire sponge
Spray bottles (I keep ONR with a quick detailing ratio in these. I find it works well getting bugs off, especially with PPF installed)
Squeegee
Invisible glass (the best)
Glass Towels (these are great but kinda grippy)
Microfiber towels (for quick wipe downs)
Drying towels (I'm going to try out some dry-me-a-river towels next, two of these are not sufficient to dry the car)
Collapsible Bucket (2 gallons of distilled water + ONR and its good to go)


On a side note, I had a really good experience with Abstract Ocean's customer service and find their prices to be the same as amazon (without the sales tax)
