Soon to be MY owner essential accessories?

I'm sure I will end up getting one for peace of mind, but I honestly don't understand why something that can not be dropped would need a screen protector. I've had a screen on my cars for more than 10 years and, not only I have I never had one get damaged, I don't recall anything ever happening that could have, but didn't, damage the screen.

I got the matte screen protector from Abstract Ocean not for protection, but for usability. It’s hard to overstate how much better the view of the screen is with almost zero glare.

Does everyone use a screen protector? Which one do you guys recommend?

Nope. Don’t need one. Some people like it for anti-glare properties. I have several cars with screens...and never needed one. No scratches on any of them either.

For those who got a screen protector, is it really necessary? I mean, its not like the screen is going to fall and hit the floor? What will possibly scratch it?

Haha ops, I guess I didn't scroll to the last page. My bad.

Necessary, no.

I installed one (it was 13 bucks on amazon) after reading through a few scenarios where people were cracking the corner of the screen while putting their phone into the charger. Since they were focused on driving, they weren't paying close attention when they would put their phone into the charger and hitting the edge of the screen. I figure for 13 bucks, if it might help prevent that from happening, great.

I was on the “not necessary” side with the screen for the first few weeks I had the car. Then, I lightly hit the bottom of the screen with my phone. No scratch, but I like the piece of mind from having one. The anti-glare is nice, too. I recommend it. Bought mine from Abstract Ocean, btw.

I just installed the Matte one from Abstract Ocean yesterday - less glare and fingerprints, worthy addition.

Thank you, @Stach. Promptly ordered a bunch of accessories (vinyl console bundle, screen protector, door handle trims & charging port wrap) that I was holding off ordering in case I found a code..

I also really like the matte one, less for protection, and more because it shows less fingerprints and it is easier to read due to the reduced glare.

If you want a little shade while sitting in your car while supercharging, the cheapo stick-on shades work just fine on the glass roof, and fold up really small. You can also buy them just about anywhere.

I apply a screen saver for glare - however - I dislike fingerprint smudges - so my logic is -- I can safely wipe away the smudges with a screen saver applied - however - if I do that repeatedly on the bare screen I will have micro scratches covering the screen after a while. Ive learned my lesson...

ironically I just installed the hd-clear one (not the matte) and, even though it has more reflections than the bare screen, it makes it look crisper, clearer and more vibrant.

I really love my steering wheel tray from Elon Accessories, especially during the pandemic when I'm spending so much time eating and video conferencing from inside my car. It's priced higher than generic trays on Amazon, but it fits perfectly, has a smooth finish so I don't think it will mess up the steering wheel, and even comes with a really nice pouch.

don't forget to add LED light strip for the center console. I ordered the below and it was super simple to install and the result was great driving at night. Used the app's mic feature to get the lights to flash based on your voice gave my kids a blast lol...
