UK accessories for RHD Model 3 [megathread]

[hingus2000]

Abstract Ocean - really pleased with mine - Foot-well/trunk/puddle light/glove box - if you go for foot-well make sure you get the correct type as they dim when you are in "gear" if you have ambient lights selected in settings.

I've bought a cheap set off Alibaba, I'm guessing they may not have this function. Will report back once they arrive. If it is a problem I'll swap them out of the footwell and into another location and replace them with the AO versions.

I was looking into getting puddle lights with the tesla logo, not really looking for lighting improvements I just want the extra swagger of the puddle lights lol! Which ones are good that people have tried?

I can recommend the ones from Abstract Ocean. I would also suggest getting at least one of the extension cable sets. One of my puddle lights had a very short lead and whilst it might have been possible to make the connection it was made vastly easier by using the extension cable.

Agreed, had a similar issue and got extensions from AO.

Thought I'd follow the process in the app. Mobile service booked in for a fortnight. Pretty impressed with the system actually.

I had a scratch on the gloss panel just below that on delivery. Mobile ranger just came yesterday - as they'll tell you, just to fix that 'part' they have to replace almost the entire front half of the centre consol so be prepared to unplug all the cables etc (/ they will do that for you).

Impressive! Does the rain spoiler work well?

It does to be fair, especially if youv'e Rain-X'd the roof

Have one on order so hopefully will work well.

Wow. That’s an impressive list!
In my Youth, all my hot Riley 1.5 needed was a wooden T handle for the gear lever and a Jackie Stewart racing cap for me!
Both had to go. The T bar kept whacking my girlfriend’s (now wife) knee and she wouldn’t be seen in my company if I wore the cap!

The cost of it all?

Don’t !!

Update just for the sake of it. One month on from the original order I’ve finally got a return label for the incorrect frunk mat.

Still no sign of the correct one being sent though.

The delivery of the correct mat has now been sitting at East Midlands for six days.

No idea why, Tesla tell me nothing whilst DHL tell me to contact Tesla.

Hopeless.

The returned mat got from me to Tesla in two days.

Very frustrating :-(

The V4 boot version has arrived. The nerves are kicking in. It’s quite a job but I’m keen to do it myself.
Not for a few weeks though as have TC appointment for some minor bits to sort then a week in Scotland.

 

[hingus2000]

Has anyone used the non-powered boot/frunk lift struts?

Model 3: Trunk Automatic-open Set (Soft-opening)

The powered version is more complicated than I am interested in, but how easy is it to replace the struts with the spring loaded ones which are capable of raising the boot/frunk themselves?

Also, is it just Torque Alliance that do the Alcantara centre console shell? (Available by emailing them)?

I've done the Frunk - posted it on here somewhere. I will go find it for you.

I used Torque Alliance's frunk springs and they're ok. Maybe a little bit stronger than the video on their site suggests but they do a decent job. Easy to replace too, took me about 5-7 mins in total once fully prepared with the right screwdriver to pop the clips.

I got my M3 AWD LR at the start of June. I got some bits and pieces from Torque Alliance - TPO Frunk Mat, Rear Bumper Sill protector and Frunk Grocery Bag hooks (Shame on Tesla for not supplying these as standard anymore!). Shipping from NL took an age (3 weeks) to RoI due to COVID. I haven't pulled the trigger on RHD cabin mats, but will at some stage...

Ordered my M3 last week and have been told to expect delivery mid-August (we'll see) so thought I'd order some stuff from Abstract Ocean, thinking it would take a couple of weeks to arrive.

Ordered Monday and arrived today - using the cheaper postage option Very impressed.

One question - I ordered a pair of the 'pig tails' - light extension cables. If I need more, I presume that these are standard cables and easily available in the UK - is that right?

I don't know if they are available in U.K. but I changed all my lights to Abstract Ocean apart from the glovebox and didn't order or need the extension tails.
