Hey all, I just picked up my 2020 Model X, all black with the Onyx 22 wheels, 5 seater. I've spent the last week looking at ways to improve the vehicle, addons and accessories that will make life better in this spaceship. There isn't a ton of insight into products that don't feel like ads, so I wanted to give a list of the things I've decided to purchase and later on will give my 2 cents on whether they were worth it.
Xpel Stealth PFF wrap. I'll own this thing for the next 10 years and wanted to protect the finish, but also love the satin finish that the stealth wrap provides. I was several videos of various teslas wrapped in xpel ppf and loved it so I'm going for it and hope it turns out.
Dechrome. Whiled getting the PPF, going to dechrome it as well.
Tesla wall charger. Cause you need one at home. I went with the 18' although the 8' probably would have reached. Cost was the same and I feel was a safer pick
Wall Connector - Gen 3
Phone dock. I keep my phone in a case which holds credit cards in the back, so the Qi charger wasn't an option and this was the best solution I could find. I just hope the phone fits into the larger guide.
Model S/X Quick Connection Phone Dock
Performance pedals. Love the look of these. There were much cheaper options on Amazon, but I was ordering a bunch from Tesla and just added these in. They will also do the install.
Model S/X Performance Pedal Set
Key Band. I don't know why they couldn't allow for a ring on the current key, this solution seems awful as I would imagine the rubber will slide off easily, but I'll give it a try.
Model X Key Band
Floors Mats. Living in Canada, it's a requirement. I almost went with the 3D Maxpider ones, but there was some chatter about their fit on the new Model X, and the direct from Tesla had great feedback from people. Safe pick here.
Model X All Weather Interior Mats
Bin. I usually find myself with a ton of trash, wrappers etc in the car and I've never had a garbage bin in the vehicle, but I can see it making sense. I looked around a lot and this one seems to check a lot of boxes.

Center console box. Generally not a fan of the way the consoles are setup in the Model X. The center console, too easy for things to slide out of it, the large console is too deep for items and I find myself putting drinks in there cause the drink slots take away the arm rest. And the other slot with the USBs is a bit small. So hoping this box makes things a little more organized.

Frunk Cooler. I had a little beer explosion the first day after getting the car in the frunk and it still smells. So I wanted to get something to put groceries into that could keep things cooler longer, but also could be used for any camping trips. I nearly went for a YETI Hopper 30, but I prefer this form factor and wanted to support a smaller business.
Soft Cooler for Tesla Model X
Harddrive. For Sentry mode. I read that USB drives weren't a good idea due to read/write speeds, and their most likely to fail. This was an option that was universally recommended.

Foldable Mattress. For any overnight trips or even just taking a quick nap at a charging station, I love the idea of hoping in the back with all the space back there. I don't know how often it will get used, but with summer coming up and air travel not coming back anytime soon, I foresee a few more camping trips. I nearly went with the Dreamcase, but the price is a little wild for a foldable mattress.

Bike rack. I'm going from a truck to an SUV, so I know I'm going to miss the ease of throwing bikes in the truck bed. I need a way to travel with bikes and everything I've read, this is the best rack out there.

I'm taking the car in to get the PPF today, so it'll be out of commission for a few days, but most of these things should be arriving in the next week and I'll start testing them out and posting feedback, but any specific questions for items are welcome. Cheers!
