Thanks for the write up. I went with the Taptes one as I have a large phone so needed the ability to place it horizontally on the charger.

Didn't realise the Tesla one had an extension though. Would you mind confirming if it would charge in portrait orientation a Note 10+? The phone with a slim case is around 165mm.

There is plenty of 'head room' above my iPhone Pro Max, so I'm sure yours would be OK

Brilliant, thanks for the confirmation.

Current wireless charger works but in landscape mode limits the charging to one device at a time.

In case this is useful to anyone, I decided to change over to an official Tesla Model 3 wireless charger, it arrived today so I've done a bit of a comparison for anyone considering what to buy

I have made up my mind now and will be buying the Tesla OEM one.

Productive day today. Fitted frunk hooks from Luckeasy (AliExpress), coloured mudflaps and ABS console covers (Matt) from Torque Alliance. Didn't trust myself with the vinyl console wraps. Everything fitted to Marvin first time and with no trouble. No more glossy black console and no more fingerprints. Good point - the key for the frunk hooks bolts fitted the removable bolt for the mudflaps.

@rEV gadget would you recommend the mudflaps?
How easy to fit?
Any potential for damage to car?
No drilling front or back?
Build quality?

I put them on the car as soon as I reached home. Just didn't want stone chips to complain about and body coloured (red) look good to me.

Only two screw holes needed for front ones in the soft plastic inner wing. No holes needed for the body but I feel the plastic retainers are at maximum and should be longer to allow for the thickness of the mudflap.

Yes I would recommend the mudflaps. They are really easy to fit with no drilling. Worth reading their online instructions first.
The back ones fit with a clip inside the wheel arch and the bolt underneath and a stud inside. The front ones clip inside the wheel arch and then two studs. Fittings were included. The replacement studs are longer than the Tesla fitted ones that you remove so all fits week and secure. Most difficult bit is having to work 'wrong-handed' one one side of the car! Took me 1/2 hour for all 4.
Can't see how they could damage the car, some people have put PPF where they touch the paint but I haven't bothered as they'll be on the car permanently.
They look good, appear sturdy and the colour match is excellent.
Hope that helps

Anyone had a bike rack from Seasucker? They look cool, I'm considering the two bike version:
Mini Bomber Rack - 2 Bikes

They have an FAQ on the Model 3 too, mount the back to the boot lid to avoid glass problems:

Hi all....

Im awaiting delivery of a red M3 performance later this year (ordered mid March). I’m planning a dechrome and was after some recommended UK professionals for the job.

Also, I plan to colour code the door handles in red too. Anyone have this done already as trying to find a vinyl to match the red is proving tricky.

Stuck on an Abstract Ocean centre console wrap earlier. For someone with zero talent at this sort of thing, having watched their video it went better than I’d hoped for...

Much safer to go with the genuine Tesla ones which I've heard good reports about Model 3 Roof Rack

After having driven the car with a Lucozade bottle in one of those cup holders, I definitely think I need that device you've got there. It kept falling over and almost falling out with any lateral movement.

Could stick it in the door pocket?

It came from Abstract Ocean as well, though I guess they may also be available elsewhere.

True, but it demonstrated that there needs to be something there to keep bottles etc upright.

Was going to order from AO today, but they are out of stock of the frunk/trunk struts, and you know what it's like when you go on AO - you start adding loads of things to your cart...

Even with the cup holder adapter in place the area is still a bit big for anything smaller in circumference than a 330ml can. It probably won't fall out but will move from side to side.

Model 3/Y shop on Ali Express has them for around £14.

Sure, remind me in a couple of weeks and I'll let you know what I've decided not to install.

Heya did you manage to get round to installing it all in the end or are there some bits left over?
Thanks
