Mods to my Model 3: List yours

[RonsM3]

Congrats on your purchase.
+1 for Blizzaks. Live in Toronto suburbs and with the weather here (similar to yours) just feel more confident driving with the winter tires.

I recommend nomad wireless over jeda. Speaking from experience with both.

 

[Nomad2006]

I have Continental Viking Contact 7s for my 3 - they are new this year but have great reviews from Europe. Works well for me so far in Toronto and a little cheaper than blizzaks, hakas or x-ice.

Personally I think you'd be crazy to spend $100 on wireless charging if money for winter tires is in doubt.

Has anyone used a third party to mount and install winters? I'm concerned about using anyone other than Tesla to touch this car.

RPM TESLA

Has all the accessories you can imagine. Best after market site i’ve ordered from. While on the pricier side, I can’t recommend the plastic covers for the center consoles enough. They are solid, and incredibly easy to install. Way better than dealing with a vinyl wrap. They look like an actual finished console instead of a wrap.

Other than that, I upgraded my ambient lights and trunk lights. The lights on the model 3 were just too dim for me. I like a pop at night. Especially the flood lights for the doors.

Wow, I didn’t know this existed. Thanks! I’ll definitely check these out.

For all the people suggesting upgrading the interior lights, the OP has SR+ which sadly doesn’t include this interior lighting. Although I’d pay to upgrade if Tesla offered it.

I went with the Tesla winter package. My reasoning was:

• No fitment issues, spacers, centering rings, etc.
• Since it is a Tesla product, Tesla roadside assistance will support them.
  
• It was within 10% of the cheapest Tire Rack price, and they installed it.
  
• OEM rims may be worth more than sketchy cheap winter rims.

Edit: I also already have aero covers, and I’ll take all the range bonus I can get in the cold.

Definitely! my friend who jumped in my car the other day thought I had replaced the whole center until somehow. It’s really well made stuff and I was SO happy to get rid of the black mirror finish. Stuck on a few perfectly cut carbon fiber coated plastic panels and it looked brand new. Here’s an image with the center console and new ambient lights. Did it all in about 30 mins

Doesn't the Tesla winter package come with the aero covers?

PPF and myd flaps.

Congrats, and hello from the other side of Lake Erie!

I urge you to go for the winter tires if you don't have an alternate car for heavy snow. You're in Buffalo, which makes my Detroit winters look like a cake walk. The cheapest way would be to put a winter set on your OEM wheels, and worry about picking up another set of wheels for the stock tires in the spring, or even remounting them. You'll get the expense back in the long run from spreading the tire wear between two sets of tires, and the wheels can be sold in the future for a reasonable sum.

Ditto. Especially RWD in Buffalo NY.

OP should stop worrying about any other accessory before snow tires.

If the Model 3 trunk/frunk lights are like the Model S, I'll also chime in on updating those.

So easy to install, even I could do it. So cheap, even I bought it.

Swapped my wood dash for white with another owner. You can also purchase the white dash from your local service center. Just give them a call!

Those satin grey wheels are amazingly done. Wow. I may have to take this pic to a local shop to duplicate. Thank you for sharing. I realize it was a while ago but what the hell.

If you don’t like the fingerprints adding on the center console I’d suggest a wrap.
I never touch it so I don’t have that problem

Is this an option for me on a Sr+?

Yes

 

[Black306]

Let’s play Name That Accessory! LOL

Ordered a Jada Hub; still waiting for that to ship. I’d like to order a trunk mat, but was going to wait until I pickup the car to do so. Heard cars are not coming with a frunk mat and would like to order that at the same time.

donut but no jack kit?
