Fitted Model S car cover. Does one exist?

[nexsuperne101]

Hi, I am probably a bit out of the ordinary when it comes to your average Tesla owner, as I don't have a garage or a carport. What I do have is 3 oak trees that drop sap all over anything that is parked vaguely near them. It washes off OK, but it is a pain every morning!
So my question is, do Tesla make a proper fitted car cover that allows the charging plug to be used?

And before you ask, no I can't cut the trees down, as they are protected by law.

TIA

I bought the outdoor cover from the Tesla store. Fits perfectly, and allows access to the charge port. Excellent fit

To the OP: Is this available in the UK in a local Tesla store? The on-line store linked above only ships to the US and Canada. Or is there a UK version of the on-line store?

I will have to get it shipped over. Not a problem, as I have family in Sacramento, so they can buy it and send it over.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

@nexsuperne101 - might be worth looking at the Evannex version, which is substantially cheaper.
Car Cover for Tesla Model S

shipping to the UK effectively doubles the price, though.

Do you need to disengage the folding mirrors to use these, or can they close?

I believe you can fold/unfold the mirrors with both the Tesla cover and the Evannex one. I don't either of them, but am considering buying one for similar reasons to the OP.

From Evannex's FAQ:

If I walk by the car with the Model S keyfob in my pocket and the door handles extend, will that present a problem?

No. The car cover has been designed for a custom fit, but there is enough slack to accommodate the door handles when they are in the extended position.

From Evannex's FAQ:

Right. Thank you very much, I apologize for not seeking out the Q&A first and appreciate your doing so.
For $99, I'm going to give it a go.

Did you get the Evannex cover in the end, if so what do you think?

 

[Watts Son]

Looks like the price went up from the $99 he quoted. I also wonder how it worked out.

I reviewed the EVAnnex cover here: http://teslapittsburgh.blogspot.com/2016/09/review-presidential-cover-up.html

Essentially, yes-- you can fold the mirrors and such without disturbing the cover. It's quite well made and takes just a couple minutes to stow and go, assuming you get in the habit of folding it properly. Easily fits in the frunk... even that tiny one you new owners have.

Speaking of this, how do y'all feel about covers while parked on the street? Does it bring more attention than needed?

The Tesla cover is very nice. It is made by Coverking.
