Any Suggestion for Center Console Wrap?

[Jimmy 1]

I would actually like some sort of rubber wrap, so I can set my phone or whatever on it, and won't slide around. More of a useful wrap than looks or protection. But can also look nice and protect the finish underneath.

Matrix Black has some grip. I love it.

Looks nice!

Did you wrap your passenger too?

LOL yeah, I used the leftovers which was plenty... now my passenger blends in perfectly with the center console!

I rate the wood wrap. The console and wooden dash make a nice wooden 'T' for Tesla shape.

My Matte Obeche 3M Di-Noc. Really rigid vinyl, super easy install. I really wish Tesla Had kept this option.View attachment 389299 View attachment 389300

Where did you get this!?!?! This looks amazing!

Did you buy that or make it yourself ?

Yes made myself.. The images are that I've taken... made measurements , setup/arrange the images how I wanted then sent it to a graphic place to print and add a protective coating to it. Then I cleaned the surface and installed... I'm including the online business for an example that you might have in your area. https://www.printmoz.com/air-release-vinyl/12x12

Used to have a Kenriko carbon fiber wrap but it started bubbling and I somehow got a scratch on it. It bothered me enough that I removed it and went with RPM Tesla’s plastic carbon fiber induced kit in matte. If it gets scratched the clear film wrapped on it self heals with heat. Can’t beat that.

I was looking at getting the same wrap from RPMTesla. Seems very easy to install from the video.

Does the Tesla key card still work through it to allow driving the car for valet or if the phone isn’t working? That was one of the reasons I didn’t get their other carbon fiber console wrap.

 

[andrewsjra]

Yes it will work with this set. I actually had the real carbon fiber kit from them previously which I didn’t mention cause it was for a hot minute and yes the key card didn’t work with that one. The one thing I notice with after market parts for TESLA is there really isn’t such a thing as a perfect fit. This plastic kit I have on I had to slightly move down on the top piece ever so slightly as it would rub on top. It was very easy to install. Just make sure you don’t press down until you’ve tested it and are satisfied with the placement

I cut it myself. But I think the guys at Evamped may offer it? Not sure, they were talking about it.

Here’s my window and lock control carbon fiber covers from RPM Tesla. They complement the center console.

Anyone have experience with this tumbled leather console wrap? Looks pretty nice but haven't seen any reviews of this on TMC https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WMMVW4J/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A2LMJ2R55J79AB&psc=1

Funny, I was just looking at this as an option - especially for 20 bucks.

I can't decide whether I want to do a white wrap to match my interior or something like this black leather that you linked...

Decisions, decisions...

One more thing to know for anyone who does use the real CF wrap.
You will be unable to add any keys to your car at all, unless you disassemble the center console.

I just bought a new fob, and asked service to add it to my car, since the CF prevented the signal from getting through. I thought they could reprogram a new key with the laptop only. Turns out they had to disassemble my console and when they unplugged the card reader all the existing keys are removed.

So now my fob works, cool. Now neither my phone nor key card work though. There is literally no way to fix this without either disassembling the console, or removing the wrap.

Would have been cool if the outside door pillar sensor could do the same functions as the center console reader, but alas no.

Since its aftermarket, I cant complain to Tesla, but it sure does suck, to have them program a new key, only to have it break all the other keys.

I am very interested in this ABS wrap but am wondering if the key card will still work on the console. Dont want to deal with the vinyl installation and it sounds like the vinyl matte black seems to scratch easy.

My understanding is that only real carbon fiber has any problems with key cards working.

 

[andrewsjra]

Yes I have ABS plastic center pieces and the card works perfect. I previously had real carbon fiber and it didn’t transmit through.

I bought my center console kit from TAPTES because they are the cheapest one

I just installed the EV Armour Carbon White console wrap, and I like it.

It does make any minor misalignment of the consoles covers more apparent, which bothers my OCD, But overall I think it's a net win. I akesthink it makes the premium white interior better overall.
