Model 3 Accessories

I got some from ebay and they are a bit useless. The shades themselves seem to be fine, its the clips. The clips mine came with have just a slither of plastic to slip between the roof and the trim, but it just slides straight back out again, so a bit pointless. I think some of the others ive seen have a wedge type plastic clip which I think would work better as it would hold the shade in it's spot

They cool the car noticeably well from what it was before.

Yeh they look fine. I think you are meant to maybe use double sided tape on the clips to hold them in place. Also the front doesn't need the clips generally, its the back one that needs it a bit more.
I love the Chinglish on the ad “Do’t block the line of sight”, “the violent sun makes the car very hot”, “don’t afraid of deformation”, “don’t need to do any damage”.
These are soooo much cheaper than the Tesla OEM ones ($250 for a front and rear set) so what’s the catch?
well, they are just some sunshade, no way they should be worth $250. Like all manufacturers, Tesla obviously put a huge mark up on their accessories.
I bought a frunk and boot rubbers mats and wheel centre caps from AliExpress as well, at a fraction of the cost of Tesla’s ones, and they are of pretty good quality.
So far I can't see any catch. They work! I mean, the fit is not *perfect*, but it's more than adequate. I can take photos if anyone is interested?
I collected my car last Monday and was told by the delivery advisor that I could buy accessories online, not at Alexandria in person. But I can't see anywhere I can order any accessory other than FSD. Does anyone have any advice regarding that? Are we forced to buy non genuine accessories from Aliexpress, etc?

Well, that's not what I call online!
It's simply a link to the locations in my area with phone numbers. Not exactly what the delivery person said.
Despite the decent car, I'm pretty ticked off about Tesla's support, but I realise I need to join the queue of complainants!
I asked about buying a frunk mat when I picked my car up yesterday... the explanation I was given was that all hands were on deck delivering the cars, so on-one would be able to serve me at the Service / Accessories department. I was told to come back in January after the end-of-quarter rush. So it’s not that you can’t buy in person from Alexandria, you just can’t do it right now.
Thanks Vostok, you obviously had a more experienced delivery person than me.
Hope you're finding your car as great as I think it is despite the hassles of dealing with this startup!
I ordered the Tachiko set from Amazon, they have better (slightly wider) clips than the second Aliexpress set, also slightly less warping in the frame, and the Tachiko one has the 'half' rear screen with the arc that helps visibility. Visibly you'd be tough to tell them apart, but small things make a difference.
I looked on Amazon and various sources but nothing looked like it would fit properly, so I ended up just getting the one from Tesla Service.
