Great thread. Also just ordered mine and have an expected delivery this month. Ordered the all weather for everything except the frunk. Gonna look into a screen protector. Think I’ll take it to a place to have ppf installed.

Obviously each person will have his/her own opinions on what is important. Here's all I've felt I needed to do, in order:
- 14-50 adapter for the UMC (bought from parts counter as I picked up the car)
- Window tint (on day 2) - can't handle so much glare
- Wheel cap/center cap kit so I could take off my aero covers (first week) - I put the aeros back on during long road trips
- Frunk mat (since mine didn't come with one) (2nd week) - didn't NEED it, but it just seemed wrong to put stuff in there without some kind of mat.
- Bought a used UMC generation 1 for daily use, put my original one in the frunk for trip use/emergency use. (about 3 months in)
- Homelink garage door opener add-on (about 3 months in)
- Sunshade for the front roof panel (it gets HOT where I live) (first spring)
- Wireless charging pad (yours already comes with one)
I can't comment on the center console stuff, your console is totally different than mine. That being said, I didn't feel the need to buy anything for mine.
Congrats on the new car!
Regarding screen protector.... In my opinion not worth the time or trouble unless you have a special situation like you have large dogs in the car, or you'll be delivering packages and might scuff/scratch things as you carry to/from the passenger seat. Again, just my opinion.
I would say floor mats and a screen protector are the things you want day one. Spigen and Abstract Ocean (I have the latter) are the best because of their applicators. Mine went on flawlessly and easily.
I have the all-weather Tesla branded mats by WeatheTech and they’re great. But there are plenty of great third party options also.
Outside of that, I’d say wait until you’ve driven it a little (maybe a week or two) before buying any additional accessories. That way, you’ll have a better idea of what you need and want.
I got a matte protector because I get a lot of glare getting out of my garage and the normal screen is very reflective. Try driving a bit before you buy one.How necessary is a screen protector?

As others mentioned you can drive a while to see if you need it (especially for anti-glare). I still haven't installed mine (I got the Spigen Matte) and still have the factory film over it (still waiting on SC appointment to fix some issues), but decided to get one since it's very inexpensive and gives a peace of mind, esp. given how important the screen is to the car.How necessary is a screen protector?
If you want to play CD's, try the NAV-TV Type 2 USB CD player. Fits in the center console, plugs into USB.

I suppose I would put it in the same category of “necessary” as the floor mats.
I think the cheap carpet tesla uses needs more protection than the glass screen but I also don't use screen protectors on my phones and have never scratched them.
I always simply used factory floor mats, so I also wonder about the necessity of purchasing another set.

I'd add trunk lights too as the stock lights are dim.Let's see...
Floor mats (I believe they came with the car). I did purchase the frunk mat and the trunk weather mat.
Puddle lights
Window tint
Performance Pedals
Jeda hub with a Samsung ssd
Nomad wireless phone charging pad
Center console wrap
Next purchase...Suma Performance side mirrors (the auto dimming function is too dark for me. Especially with side window tint.
I think most were necessary for me except the puddle lights and performance pedals. Enjoy your car!
