I did the mud flaps. Cheap and easy and they work. The ones I have required one small hole to be made in the front plastic wheel arch protector. Don’t be the person who thinks the wheel has to come off to drill it. Left then Right full steering lock works fine!

Question about buying a charger

You could just buy an Ampfibian or jerry-rig a cable and then use the 15A (12A) tail and dial it down to 10A in the car.

Much the same as the ampfibian above. This is what I used until the electrician hooked up the 32a circuit. Be aware there is no 'squeezing' on these things. If you go over 10amp it triggers the CB as designed, they don't tolerate start up exceedance like other cb's.
After 20 months and lots of dirt/gravel roads I wish that the lockdowns hadn't stopped me getting paint protection.
If you do not want the expense of a full body paint protection, there are some areas I would do at a minimum:
- Definitely get the whole nose done: it is hard to match the Tesla pearl colour in such an immediately visible area.
Makes removing the zillion of bugs very easy as well. The aluminium frunk door? Not really needed.
- The most important area for a really thick plastic protection would be the side rails: the area under the doors.
Mine look as rough as a cheese grater. The rear of the side rails have hundreds of nasty gouges. Even with aftermarket mudflaps.
- Get the side mirror covers (aka as skull caps) done as they collect bugs as well.
If you use a silicone wax to protect after a thorough hand wash, use painters tape to mask the black plastic of the lower rear of the car and the black plastic of the front grill or protect the black plastic with some silicone oil tyre shine before waxing. That wax leaves white residue that is impossible to remove from the patterned plastic. And don't go near the cameras with that wax; it gets in every black crevice.
I've found this extremely helpful. It's a good write-up on your charging options:

A well written guide that's been around for past couple of years however the links to the 32A Gen2 UMC tail on bottom of pg6 are broken.
Alternative online resellers exist, the cheapest I have found is here for 32A 5 pin and here for 32A 3 pin.
Two length options here

True dat - I shoulda said the cheapest "AUSSIE" resellers I have found and they also have the 1m option.
Linking to the 32A 5pin is all well and good, but if you wanted a 32A 3pin or a 20A 5pin or a 20A 3pin adaptors for UMC Gen2, you have to buy from AUSSIE resellers.
