Also bought the Tesla Model 3 Console Wrap Kit (Matte Black) https://www.amazon.com/Kenriko-Tesla-Model-Matte-Console/dp/B07CZL8ZR5, which covers the center console and stops the glare and scratches

... yes I'm completely bonkers

going to be getting one of these too myself along with the chrome delete.

@yak00

Forgot to mention about sunshades for the roof windows - plenty on eBay but of course shipped from China. Cost about £35-45 for the set.

I recommend "Remote for Tesla" for iOS and watchOS. I've been using it with my model S for a while and it supports the iOS shortcuts app, which allows me to create a shortcut I can use for Siri, which I've called "Lets go".

Link ‎Remote for Tesla

When I say "Lets go" to Siri, it unlocks my car, and then activates keyless start

Received the cable from Amazon today (CableCreation USB-C), very nice quality, braided and a longish cable, so not short to need an extension as some have had too.

Still waiting on M3 to make sure it fits, Some people in USA use this so should fit!

Also @yak00 would you add the "Raspberry Pi Dash-cam storage Alternative"? Not sure if many people know about this? there are a few versions around and adds some extra benefits that a standard USB does not do. I can ping across some link if needed?

 

[MrBadger]

Hasn't there been a few issues with the Pi project after a few recent software updates?

Think you are correct, but i'm sure some of the developers will have also updated there builds to fix the issues.

This one has been updated not long ago:
marcone/teslausb

Obviously you could buy every accessory under the sun....

What would people say are essential accessories ?

As a buyer of SR+ I’m thinking the central console wrap and floor matts , what else?

I am told Puck Jacking Plugs are a must to save any damage if car has to be jacked

Quick question. How much excess is there with the cables once installed? Would 0.5m be too short for example ?

Not tried as no M3 yet, but the USA users have mentioned that the 0.5ft version needs an extension and the 4ft one i got does not. You lose some cable length via the routing of it in the Phone unit.

This is the one i received (USB-C Version):

Post Nr 2 on link below regards the fitting and length version:
Model 3 Phone Charging Cables & Sunshade Available In Store Now

Also interesting is that the Tesla brand USB cables only provides power to the phone, yet the CableCreation allows you to use your phone as a USB device? again would need to test and confirm (Unless someone already has one to confirm?)

Tesla Version (USA site)
Model 3 Phone Charging Cable

Also some people have mentioned if you have a thick-ish case on you need to pad out the bottom of the charge cable to push it up a little.

Not seen any mention in here of the ‘key’. Is that available here in the U.K.? Anyone gone for it? Ie the physical little car shaped key like the model s.

 

[ediflyer]

All bought direct from the US and was presented with a additional 24 GBP tariff charge at the door by UPS - was that a con? not sure but smelt like one. Better to buy via Amazon I guess.

Saw an interesting comment re this on FB that I hadn't thought of before. Obviously can't do anything about customs and VAT however they disputed the 'service fee' charged by UPS saying they had never contracted directly with them nor agreed to the charges. Ultimately they got them wiped.

Yikes, quite pricey - I thought the official Tesla one was about £10 or so, ie potentially cheaper? Apparently in stock now (according to the Edinburgh sales folks at least). Still can't believe they didn't come with the car!

added Sunshades

Available from the Tesla store ... I've added Key Fob to the spreadsheet along with a link to a couple of reviews

Yep price is higher for one I linked as it's a USB C, the lightning and micro usb are cheaper, about the same cost as Tesla's one. Also I think it's £10 just for 1 cable at Tesla and £15 for both lightning and Micro. See @yak00 sheet for links to all.

I don't believe Tesla do a USB C yet? Might be wrong

 

[ediflyer]

They definitely do in the USA...

Model 3 Phone Charging Cable

If its £10 it'd be cheaper than the £15 Amazon braided one

 

[Foucault]

In terms of apps for IOS, Stats for Tesla gets good reviews. Not cheap at £20 but does allow you to do things like control the temperature and set alerts if the state of charge gets low or you’ve left the car unlocked. It also supports Siri shortcuts and Apple Watch too. As the name implies you can use it to log various stats.
