My wife immediately said she wanted:

Hey Everybody,

As we are getting closer and closer to the rush of North America deliveries, I'm wondering what are the critical "day 1" accessories everybody is queueing up?

So far I have:

• Wall charger (to be installed next week)
• Screen protector
• Jacking pucks (I'll do my own tire rotation when the time comes)

And I'll soon add to the list a set of weather tech floor mats. Although I'm in the Northeast, I have a 4x4 truck so I'm not going to bother with winter tires.

New York requires a front plate so I'll also be researching any "show and stow" type plate holders, since I don't want to drill the front and/or use any adhesive if possible.

What are the other major things I should have right away?

Funny, when I first my M3 AWD I ran out and got a floor jack, jack jackstands and pucks to do my own, then I went to costco and had them do it for $25, plus they did a rebalance that I couldn't do.

Would you please post a review and pics of the front plate after you’ve installed it? Some of the reviews I’ve read of other products say they’re flimsy and cheaply made. For $120, I assume these are made of high grade plastic or aluminum.

happy to. The site itself has a handful of reviews, most / all are positive so I'm hopeful it's the premium product that they are making it out to be.

There is another product that is also excellent. It's came "Bandit" license plate holder. It is very similar, but a bit more stable. I have had mine since September 2018.

Curious why folks here prefer Maxpider mats over Tesla’s all weather mats? I’d much rather have the Tesla logo than some 3rd party.

.max spider better fit. no curling, go with decor so much better. full stop..i live in fla 7mo & chicago in the summer...so extreme weather doesn’t affect me. they have a textured look and seem to be a much classy look v’s the very utilitarian weathertec

The "flimsy" ness is an intentional design feature that is commonly overlooked. These things can be printed to be 100% solid and super stiff. But they're not so that in an event of an incident, the SnapPlate breaks rather than your cars radiator fins.
LivingTesla.com sells replacement brackets for $10, vs what I assume would be a few hundred in parts for the Tesla radiator fins. That's why plastic why chosen over metal.
It's explained a bit more here:

Would anyone have a discount code for the SnapPlate?
Thanks,

I just installed Tesla’s interior “liners” (as opposed to “mats”). These are sculpted and fit the driver, passenger and back seat floors perfectly. Not sure about texture compared to Max Spider.

I ordered these for my car that has been ordered, but my neighbor has them on for his front plate holder and they are really low profile. Very inexpensive as well at about $10 with shipping.

Excellent way to obstruct airflow to radiator and scratch your bumper while you're at it. But there's definitely a variety of solutions with their own pros and cons.

I would not put than in the way of any vent.

Just checking, but you do know the Model 3 comes with a front (and back) no-holes plate holder?

The back trunk has holes. The front plate accessory route is for it to be removable and not double side tape it to your car.

I still have alot on my list Im trying hold off on lol.

I even got a salvage foglight to see if I could figure out how to get the foglights to work

Yeah, my husband was making fun of me because our home office is overrun by my "day 1 list:"

• screen protector
• wireless charger
• usb/lightning adapter
• microSD card
• roof/door seal kit (for wind noise)
• mud flaps
• door kick protectors
• door handle decals
• tesla logo colored decals (purely aesthetic)
• rim guards

• light upgrade (was told interior lighting throughout is pretty dim)
• tesla logo puddle lights :shrugs:

Just curious if anyone has purchased the Aero Cap Kit off of Amazon for the M3 SR+?

These are much cheaper than what the Tesla store is selling them for:

TIA!
