UK accessories for RHD Model 3 [megathread]

[Thiellie]

Also found and ordered a nice 3 (well actually 4) port powered USB hub on amazon - will route the cable along the console side panel
That should drive the wireless charging pads and something else and leave my 2 USB drives open for dashcam and something else...

Hi @ PistonsDead,

See attached for photos of the Tesla mats. Let me know if you need anything else.

AMAZING! Thanks so much.

So I am 90% there. Just need to work on the driver's side and look at that foot pedal 'flap'. And then we're good to go!

I'm just going to buy a couple of coils and tape them to the bottom - seems to do the trick for others and will only cost a tenner!

ins just for interest sake, here is the new gen taptes on the inside - with the 3 coils - seems the left and landscap one are driven by the same circuit...

It’s nice to see the inside. It looks just as nicely made as the outside!

One feature that I wasn’t expecting, and isn’t in the manual, is the USB-C cable that is tucked away along the front lip at the bottom. You can just see the end of the plug in the photo above. That could be useful to me if/when Apple go from Lightning to USB-C on the iPhone.

If anyone on here needs the wheel nut bolt covers and Tesla logo center cap for 18" Aeros. Please PM me as I have a new set unopened and used which I will not need anymore

 

[discoM3]

First dibs please. PM me details

Here are some photos of the jack pads I’ve ordered from Amazon UK.

They are made of hard rubber, and seem quite up to the job, but not having either a jack or a car I’ve not tried them!

This is the item:

£20.99 for a set of four.

I bought a set of these. They came quickly, faster than the stated date.

Does the car come with a decent jack?

 

[MrBadger]

It comes with a virtual jack...

no, it doesn't. And it gets pretty tight under there with jack pads and a flat tyre (and before you ask, no spare tyre either) on so care is needed in choosing a shallow but strong jack

 

[m3gt2]

I have ordered white with black interior so will have the wood on the dash, I want the centre console wrapped but what finish looks good? Any pictures? Thanks

 

[MrBadger]

don't get matt finish - couple of days ago I posted what a console wrap manufacturer said about how each finish performs

ill post link if i stumble across it.

 

[MrBadger]

Here you go Matching interior wraps

its from Model 3 Center Console Vinyl Wrap which is the 3M 1080 film

Is the guidance to just call Tesla when experiencing a puncture or flat on the basis there’s no spare or jack?

Just a quick update on all the extra's i've bought and installed.

The kenriko wrap I linked (above in the thread) was way easier to install than I thought it would be. I didn't end up using the second chance wrap they provide with the kit, but I did install it with my laptop playing the install video and followed along. It looks amazing and completely professional, stops the glare and scratches from the reflective surface.

I added clear wraps from taptes to the door strip (model 3) logo. I applied these with soapy water spray and was fairly easy.

I use the model 3 sun shade from taptes. Suckers are a tad annoying to remove but other than that works fine (fits well)

I've replaced all the lights apart from the footwell lights which apparently have a different fuse system. They make a huge difference (especially the boot which is 16x brighter). The lights I replaced were

- 2 in the boot
- 1 in the glove box
- 2 in the rear passenger doors



I've also added Tesla logo puddle lights for the front doors



I've also installed the JEDA wireless charging pad, which I'm very happy with, works well, charges quickly and with the spacer (which I got free with my order) allows me to charge wired too.

I bought an XBOX One PDP game controller which works well, even supports force feedback from Argos for £19.99 (might get a second one now that I know it works)

I bought a low profile 2 ton trolley jack from Halfords.

Also bought a rubber insert specifically for the halfords low profile jack off Ebay for £3.99 which allows me to use it with my Carrfan jack lift adapter (link above in thread) Saddle Pad Rubber for the Halfords 2 Tonne Hydraulic Trolley Jack 657081 TH22005 | eBay

I plan to switch my own wheels for winter

Blimey, it’s like a new car

I love the puddle lights! We’re they easy to fit? For that matter, were all the lights easy to fit?

Did you use soap spray for fitting your console wrap, or just do it dry? I’ve got visions of it looking like I’ve tried to fit my own piece of Fablon if I tried it

Sorry for all the questions. Looks fab. Thanks for sharing.

Lights take literally 30 seconds each and are super easy to fit.

I did not use soap spray for the console wrap, I followed the instructions from kenriko exactly in their video (no spray required). The video is very good.

Probably most important advise from the video, is don't rush and take your time

Thanks @james_power

Just one more question - are your TapTes puddle lights the standard version or the extra bright version?

Thanks - Roy.

Erm, you got me on that one

Had to look up my order, they are they ultra bright (doesn't surprise me that I chose that option, lol)

One more thing I also bought the TapTes Multi-Function Organizer Box for Tesla Model 3 Center Console, which is very nice.

I will say though that is slightly clashes with the Jeda Wireless Pad, but if I insert it before closing the front with the wireless pad its fine.
