I just received mine this morning. I had a few quality control issues that I notified Taptes of. The right side of the unit was missing the metal clips for the side baffle . I reached out to them and hopefully they will send them. The piece is a little wobbly without those clips. The door that flips open doesn't lineup perfectly. And doesn't always close easily . I could see myself leaving it open most of the time, but this could be designed better. The order arrived in about 10 days .Not to bad considering it came from China. I created a YouTube video of the installation .
Several weeks in..here is an update .The product is very good, but I cannot say great .Demi, from Taptes has been excellent in replying to emails and she did send me out replacement clips that were missing for the r side baffle/trim. Also, they were kind enough to send some free gifts .At this point, my biggest gripe is the door flap which does not stay closed .Demi from Taptes has emailed me and assured their is a fix on the way. I will update.

Anyone have any thoughts on the Evannex center consoles? I bought one and have had it for about 2 months and like it quite a bit. It's configuration is a little different than the TapTes and Tesla consoles, but works really well, build quality is good, and good utility, I had a loaner for a week with the Tesla center console and I didn't love the way the compartment nearer to the USB ports opens/closes, and that the cup holders were those metal things, and that you had to choose between cup holders OR a storage area. When I ordered mine, it cost about $499. Arrived in about a week.

I would also choose Evannex center console if I didn't get the TAPTES one, the most important point I choose TAPTES center console just because it's OEM style and the wireless charger box space. And the price is also acceptable to me. But it took 17 days to my door, and really tested my patience.

The Evannex console is pretty decent quality, though I think the $500 price tag is a bit much, but I understand it's probably a small production run so they have bigger costs to spread over a small number of units to sell in order to recoup costs and make a profit.
I like that the TapTes unit is pretty much an OEM look, but, to be honest, when I had a 2018 75D loaner with an OEM center console, I didn't like the pop-up door, and the cup holders were like an afterthought. As neither one of the aftermarket center consoles adds or subtracts from value of the car on resale, I think the value is in the utility to the individual owner. It's nice that there are multiple options on the aftermarket!
