What are others doing regarding ordering of the frunk and trunk cargo mats and other items (i.e. sunshade) in the Tesla store? Are you ordering now or waiting for your configuration email? My concern is Tesla's tendency to have items on back order. I haven't seen any pictures of new deliveries with the trunk cargo mat which may or may not mean anything.

Ordering Floor Mats & other items before Configuration?

Just cargo mats. Sorry for not being clearer. Hopefully floor mats will be available soon.
The car comes with floor mats but you can upgrade to all-weather floor mats.
We've added the all-weather floor mats to all four cars (Model S) so far. For some reason, they charged for labor on #2 or maybe it was #3. For #4, we didn't bother ordering the floormats in advance. Instead, we just picked them up from the parts department and installed them ourselves.

Weathertech (manufacturer of Tesla’s floor/trunk/frunk liners) needs a car to laser measure. Then they have to produce the molds, manufacture prototypes, verify fitment and go into production. I’m sure they are well into the process.

Yeah. It was a suprise. It was only .25 hours and only for that one car. We probably could've asked to have it removed but I don't think we noticed the charge until we got home and looked at the receipt.
In another post the question was asked if their floor mats have a lip around the sides to catch water and melted snow. The latter is really important for snowy climates.
The picture on the left is from "formytesla" the right are from weathertech who make the Model 3 cargo mats.

I ordered the rear cargo mat, and it arrived a few days later.
I also ordered the charging cables, and was disappointed to find out that they're just relatively short (12"?) USB to phone cables. Nothing special in terms of routing or attachment. For $14 I wouldn't call them a rip-off, but you can certainly do better elsewhere.

I'll be holding out for 3D Maxspider Kagu floor mats for my car and order them as soon as they are able to laser fit them (I spoke with them a number of weeks ago and they hadn't been able to get a hold of a Model 3 to use for the measurements, should be easier as more cars are in the wild). We have their mats in our Model S in black and just love them. Wouldn't even consider another brand at this point. Probably time for another phone call to them. Their mats are waterproof and look great. Not that rugged truck liner-type of look and instead are something befitting a sexy Tesla!
Here's a link to ones sold for the Model S if you're curious about the look: 3D Maxpider Kagu Floor Mats

Done. Upgraded the main service to the house and installed a 100 amp sub panel in the garage. Already have a insurance quote, financing is taking care of and I have a couple of estimates on my existing car.If you want to worry about something more substantial than floor mats, make sure you have the 240V circuit ready.
And took care of investing by buying shares when they only cost $33/share so I'd say I'm ahead of the game!!
So not much left other then things like good floor mats that protect the rugs from rain and especially melting snow.
The short cable is meant to be installed as a dock so you can just slide your phone into the connector. You need the funky right angle connector to do this.
From the Model 3 owners club several posts states car comes with both an iPhone and a micro-USB cable. Post 1454.
