Hello TMC!
At Skyline, we have been hard at work designing and testing cool new accessories for the Tesla community! Last year, we introduced our Case-friendly Phone Dock for Model 3, and the feedback has been clear: Model 3 owners love it! Customers who have reviewed their purchase have called it “a must have”, “the best accessory for Model 3”, and that the car “Should have came with this from the factory”. We are glad you’re enjoying it, and we hope you will continue to check up on us as we introduce more products!
We love creating useful new products that improve the experience you have with your car every day. We decided to focus our attention on an area that was a bit lacking in the Model 3 interior: a place to store your sunglasses. The only decent options were to sacrifice the cup-holder space, or to store them in the center bin. We didn’t want to give up our cup-holders, and digging around for items in the center bin was awkward and distracting while driving.
Our usual design process involves several concepts and prototypes, but we took that to a new level with this project. Over a span of 6 months, we created and tested over 3 dozen different designs! The design goals were to create a convenient mounting solution that would work with all eyewear frames. We placed extra emphasis on a mounting location that could easily be reached while driving. The product had to install quickly and effortlessly, and be fully removable without damaging the console. Lastly, it had to be custom made specifically to the Model 3 interior, and look as though it were a factory installed part.
We decided on a design that places the glasses on the undersize of the console lid. This location proved to be easy to reach while driving, and still allows the console lid to close and protect your shades. By far, the most difficult design challenge was to create a part that would securely hold nearly all frame shapes and sizes. A unique spring loaded wedge design was the key to a truly universal solution, providing force to hold your frames while also creating support for the nose bridge. The mount is secured to the Model 3 console lid with durable 3M adhesive tape, which can easily be removed without damage or residue (just apply light heat).
