Getting ready for delivery, what should I buy ahead of time? :)

I've owned devices since the original iPhone and I've never put a screen protector on anything. Maybe I just had good luck, but I've never had a single scratch on any of my devices. And it's not like you can drop the Tesla screen on the ground or anything.

I think the only possible way the Tesla screen could be scratched is if you had dirt on whatever towel you use to occasionally clean it.

My only question is would I be able to remove the screen protector without any marks to the screen.

Yes, easily.

I don't care much about our Apple devices because of the Apple care )

Once I saw the scratch on a Chevy Bolt screen, wasn't looking pretty.

For your garage? Get some cheap cable organizers for your charger. This way it won’t hang funny and you not going to run over cables or trip or mess them up. Now only thing you are missing is a car. Good luck.

We show the removal here:

(jump to 38 seconds if the link doesn't do that). TL;DR, it's easy

Pete, do you represent Abstract ocean? I'm getting ready to order a few things from you guys but have been curious about the Gen 3 screen protector. It shows it's coming end of July on the web site, any ETA on when they'll be listed for sale and shipping?

Also, I'm trying to decide between the brushed black or brushed metal console wrap. Do you know which would show finger prints less? I kind of want to go for the black since I'll have white seats and I think a darker center console will add nice contrast, but if that tends to gain finger prints then the brushed metal would be my second choice.

I'm also thinking about the brushed black door handle (exterior) vinyl covers, mainly to hide finger prints and offer some scratch protection. I don't care too much about changing the appearance. You don't offer clear ones, do you?

 

[pete8314]

Yup, I'm exactly one half of AO, not including the dog

We have the matte Gen 3 9H in stock, and you're right, the HD Clear should have arrived yesterday. I'm checking now on a better ETA, I would certainly still assume within a week, but hopefully I'll know more later tonight. The reason is that we've changed the packaging quite a bit, so the boxes are much larger, so air-freight becomes prohibitive. We shipped a pallet via 'slow air' to get some here quickly, and that's what I'm waiting on; the tracking only really kicks in once it all clears customs.

For the CC wraps, there's really no difference for fingerprints on the brushed finishes, both are great for that.

We didn't offer the clear handle protectors, but you're not the first to ask, and we have all the material (paint protection film), so, I've added those to the site. The price for them is a little higher, as the PPF costs quite a bit more that vinyl, but moreso, the weeding (removing the negative space) takes a lot more time.

Very cool! I’ll totally grab some of the PPF door handle covers... do you know if they’re as easy as your others to apply, or if they’ll require a setting spray or something first? (Wet application). I honestly don’t mind since something that small should be pretty manageable, just curious.

Is there any differences to the Gen 3 screen protector compared to Gen 2? (The actual screen material/coating) Or is it just that it has that application frame?

Dry-fit for the PPF handle covers, but let me know how it goes! I did ours last night, they're pretty easy since they're small pieces.

We did make some minor tweaks to the glass, not so much the actual shape, but some other things ...can't really go into too much detail, but with the application frame the fit is 100%, and significantly easier to achieve. Most of the feedback on the Gen 2 was that it was still tricky in fitting the screen just because it's somewhat awkward, so we think the frame takes care of that.

Having tried yesterday for the first time to drive with a regular to-go drink cup from a local restaurant only to see it sitting un-securely in the cup holder with nearly ¼" gap all around, I think it's probably wise to buy a cupholder accessory. What do people recommend? I'd like one with spring holders like those found on OEM holders on many new cars, but I can't find one. I'm not particularly interested in the ubiquitous inserts that fit cups snugly but don't easily release from the cup.

I solved that by buying an insulated drink cup that fits the cup holder to use instead of a disposable. $8 at Target.

It's such a sad day when you can't even get functional cup holders in a $60,000 car; that you have to resort to "home fixes". Great car generally, but really missed the mark on some "basics".

 

[Rottenapplr]

Yes it’s super loose you need a cup sleeve. That’s a flawed design.

 

[acarney]

Order a larger size?

Actually, what would be interesting, is do Tesla's different reusable cups fit well? If those don't then it's a seriously embarrassing design flaw! LOL

It is definitely the latter....

Good thing I didn't pay $60K then, I guess. Honestly I've yet to see a great solution. The spring loaded wing things don't hold small cups still enough, and the inserts get stuck on the cups. Besides, I prefer not to use a disposable cup if I can avoid it, anyway.

 

[acarney]

Oof, so Tesla's cups don't fit?! I was just about to order a couple (even though I'll probably look like a douchebag using them )

So.... I've actually debated getting the Tesla jacket.... I don't know what's wrong with me!
