what pattern is that?Installed Abstract Ocean console wrap and must say it was easy to install, just take your time
AO videos are easy to follow and help greatly. Install when cold in car also helps a lot.
Installed while charging this morning

Thinking of what charging cable to purchase - one with a charge door release button or one without - but haven't been able to find out anywhere if you can open the charge door using the Tesla mobile phone app. Anyone know if its possible and what state does the car need to be in to open it (the charge flap) using the app (locked or unlocked)? Thanks.

As an alternative to a wrap has anyone tried these type of centre console covers?
Car Control Console Armrest-box Trim For Tesla Model 3 18-19 Carbon Fiber E4I2 | eBay
They are actually cheaper than many of the wraps and obviously much much easier to fit.
Doubt they look as nice as a good quality well applied wrap but maybe better than a badly applied cheap one?
A bit shiny for my taste as well.

I saw this recommended somewhere, so have bought it awaiting the car to put it in.

Thanks! Just need a compact USB 2 card reader now although I probably have one lying around as a temporary . Tesla is USB 2 only and I’ve had problems running USB 3 memory on USB 2 devices. If it doesn’t work, at that price I can reuse it elsewhere.
Well done @davidmc it looks fab. Mine has been despatched, just waiting for the pigeon to fly across the Atlantic.Installed Abstract Ocean console wrap and must say it was easy to install, just take your time

Model 3 has acoustic tyre inserts and viscous tyre repairs do not play nice with them.
Also the product linked only does up to 17” tyres
That’s a good price for a 128GB, but that’s not an Endurance card, so will succumb to the problems of overwriting the files all the time, just the same as a USB stick.
This is the equivalent Sandisk Endurance card:

I got one of these (from Amazon US when it was on some kind of deal). I had low expectations, but it's actually pretty good, and nowhere near as noisy as the little farty compressors that are included with some cars, instead of the spare wheel. I'm too tight to 'pay for air' from a petrol/gas station, so it's a good option for me, and seems accurate, at least when I fill up to 40psi all around, the car agrees. I keep it in the boot, as I seem to attract nails and screws like a magnet.

Basically, tyre sealant does not work if the leak in the area with the acoustic foam on the inside - ie most of the tread. And if its not in the tread, then the leak may be in a sidewall which will probably be not fixable either.
