I'm really pleased with the floor mats that @PistonsDead makes (Tesla Model 3 Floor Mats - Alternate Flux)
Just put mine in this morning and they're perfect.

Just needs to be a 13A cable. If using a drum type make sure it is fully unwound to allow the heat to dissipate.

That's brilliant news Marc. I'm so glad (and relieved) that you like them!
Any pics to share?
Also be sure to read (and ignore like I did) the instruction on the UMC and in the manual to not use an extension cable!
I do *not* recommend this one Masterplug 1 socket 13A Orange Extension lead, 15m | DIY at B&Q as it won't close without removing the rubber bit that's meant to stop water ingress around the cable...

On a related note I assume the box part of the cable near the 3 pin plug end is not waterproof?
So if using an extension lead would you need to waterproof both that and the 3 pin plug like with a waterproof box or something?
Get a taptes wireless pad as that includes a usb C cable in the phone rest of the pad!

Looks good but isn't that pretty much the same as a Tesla UMC but with a longer cable?
And as the Model 3 comes with the UMC already, we really just need a suitable high quality longer cable.

I'm not allowed to respond to this here because we are in the wrong thread apparently but if I were allowed to respond I would say that the idea behind this longer EV Charging Cable is to avoid a 13amp plug and socket laying externally on the ground. Judging by the comments on B&Q, in its self the B&Q external extension cable would seem not fit for purpose and would need to be weatherproofed in some other way - but I cant say that in this thread.

As far I know you can discuss whatever you like in any thread on here.I'm not allowed to respond to this here because we are in the wrong thread apparently but if I were allowed to respond I would say that the idea behind this longer EV Charging Cable is to avoid a 13amp plug and socket laying externally on the ground.

The only reason I linked to the other thread was purely so the person asking the question could see anything on there that might be of use.

Just a few photos of them "in action"! The boot is cavernous and the mat is spot on, doesn't hamper opening the under section.
My phone has done a little too much processing on these photos, they are a very dark black, can't imagine a better match for the car and the existing carpets
Being slightly pedantic (apologies) you don't unwind it to allow the heat to dissipate, you unwind it to prevent inductive heating! It's common assumption that people make.
And not unwinding it is not a mistake you want to make!
I recently applied two coats of GyeonQuartz Leather Shield to my white seats and doors.
Q² LeatherShield ceramic leather coating - Gyeon Quartz
I also purchased their leather cleaner to clean before application of the shield
LeatherCleaner Mild - Gyeon Quartz
Very happy with the result, no change in appearance but has extra protection (particular from blue jeans transfer) and gives the seats a hydrophobic finish.
