WeatherTech floor mats and Windex make our 2017 Model S (grand)child-resilient. 100k miles, several years when the S was the primary vehicle for the grandchildren’s family while they were below 10 years of age. Now the oldest, in High School, plans to borrow it for a date this weekend.
While the Model S is, by far, the most expensive vehicle we’ve purchased, we believe the car works for us, not the other way around. Food and drink are allowed in front and back seats. We’ve used the car for IKEA and dump runs.
We also believe that keeping the car in good shape - timely maintenance and cleaning - allows it to provide satisfactory service for many years. So far, so good.

I got these mudflaps
I also got this wireless parking camera.
Doesn't come with the bracket but I made one, just press fits in place.
And just for fun I made and added some Sharks Teeth

For the home charger, I believe the Universal Wall Connector is the better one - at least that's what I thought. Someone will have to confirm because I thought the UWC was Powershare (futureproofing) capable, but it doesn't show on Tesla's site anymore.
Edit:
It does have the difference in the features: https://shop.tesla.com/product/universal-wall-connector
A honk (if enabled in settings), or a touch of the dash cam icon in the screen will save the last 10 minutes of footage. That’s how you get coverage after an incident of interest. As long as you have a properly formatted thumb drive for the camera, all footage you “honk” or manually save will remain on the drive. When you press the dash cam icon on the screen you will see “launch viewer” which is how you can review all saved footage on the stick.
I did try to 'read' the manual in the Tesla, in one of my 'wait on the kids for an hour' thing, and it wasnt as intuitive as I had hoped, but is that what you are talking about, is the one built into the car, or is there another one I should get?
Right, thats what I found out. Basically if you KNOW what you want to read about in the 'in car' manual, then you are fine. But if you are a NEWBIE like me, its not a 'open book and read' approach, so I found it mediocre at best on teaching me about stuff I didn't already know about. I'll jump on line to read the tesla.com one. Thanks for pointing that out!
