Is the Model 3 a bigger accessory money pit than a Harley D?

Lockdown hasn't helped but after reading this and other forums avidly between washing my red SR+ and ordering various plastic bits and pieces for it, are we as bad as Harley Davidson owners as it is very rare to find one bog standard.

Mine has the Tesla tow bar, vinyl front and new double sided tape rear reg plates, carpets with colour coded piping which came with colour coded rubber mats for the cubbys and cup holders, phone charger, SSD SentryCam memory, Frunk and Boot rubber protectors, frunk bag hooks, tyre pump, tyre sealent and Type 2 cable bag.

As well as that list I am actively looking at skins for the centre section but choices choices!

I know from the 50 odd pages of UK accessories for RHD Model 3 that I am not the only one, am I?
 
I wouldn't say they are a bigger money pit because there is so many thousands of variables with HD compared with the limited options for the M3. That said, I have spent a small fortune on stuff for my M3P and I'm definitely not finished yet.

Without diving off the topic; I have the following:

  1. Number plate tape: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LYMSV8Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got my Number plates from Bobbys Graphics.
REFLECTIVE STICK NUMBER PLATE F and R vinyl For Caravan Trailer 4x4 Off roader | eBay
Front works well just remember to flatten the burrs left by the screws as theyll show under the vinyl.
The rear doesn't work for vinyl as there's a recessed area in the boot and as its not flat I just can't get the vinyl flat enough to look right so I'm using the original number plate, but not the holder. Just drilled a couple of holes in it to match the holes in the boot.

Yeh, the rear im sorted with. Used the Tesla original plate, theres a post on here somewhere.

I was gonna use OneStop plates (think thats what its called).
