UK accessories for RHD Model 3 [megathread]

[phillcom3]

Any chance that anyone can take the contents of the model 3 spread sheet accessories lists and put them on a post?
maybe sticky it?
just from work I cant view any of them group access blocked for file sharing.

Random question, I remember a review of a wireless pad (I think nomad) and the left side was always charging at maximum capacity but the right side was slower as it shared output with the USB ports, does anyone know of a version that is prioritised on the right side?

The TapTes charger uses a USB power feed for each side, so both the same speed. It also comes supplied with splitter cables so you still have two USB ports to use for dashcam etc.

How've you found thecharger? I have it, just not the car... haha.

Thanks, great information. Would the splitter still have enough power to run an ssd for dashcam/sentry? I won't be bothering with music on a drive as I'll try Spotify and failing that Apple Music over Bluetooth from my phone.

I was in that situation for a few weeks too! The charger is fine. It fits well, the two splitter cables work well, and, well, it charges

IMHO a real bargain. Now I’ve said that it’ll probably self-destruct today

Mm, can’t really say on that, as I use a standard USB thumb drive, one each for music and dashcam. They both work fine, but I don’t know how much more power-hungry SSD drives are. I suppose a powered USB hub would be the belt-and-braces approach.

I’m running a Samsung T5 SSD off one of the splitters and it is working fine for a couple of weeks now. Hopefully I haven’t just jinxed it!

May be the time to mention that apparently V10 comes with auto delete of stale/old sentry footage.

I suspect you may run into problems over time with the USB thumb drive, reading other accounts, because of the frequent rewriting on the dashcam side. If so, a halfway house would be an "endurance" SSD card and suitable USB adapter therefor. I got a Samsung 128GB PRO Endurance MicroSDHC as I had seen these recommended. After splitting it into 2 drives (with free download software) in FAT32 it is now working well. About 50 quid all in. Will it be working in a year?

Yes, I thought that might be a problem. Time will tell. If it does turn out to be the case I’ll compare the prices of an Endurance SD card and a full-blown SSD when the time comes.

250GB SSD and enclosure - £25 for ssd and £8 for enclosure. That's what I'm going to try.

That's not how the Nomad works; it ships with two splitters, so both USB ports feed the Nomad, and both can be split off for data.

I can't comment on the quality but this is #1 on my list.

I'm also likely to go down the Raspberry pi route for Sentry and dashcam clip offloading. I think the RPi zero will fit in the neat slot for the USB / SSD.

 

[MrBadger]

All rather dark images to see exactly where that goes but I wouldn't want to put anything magnetically sensitive near that. Other than that, and price, I like that.

 

[TezzyMod3]

I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned elsewhere.

What's the delivery time for official Tesla accessories? Maybe should post in the ship tracking thread

 

[jimbo_hippo]

Given the waiting list for the car we should probably have a parallel thread to this called “Model 3 for your accessories”. For those aspiring to actually get the car to join their accessories. Eventually.

Those charging pads, wheel caps and wind deflectors must be feeling very lonely on the shelf.

I did a genuine LOL when I read this and woke my GF with the guffaw.

Perhaps we need a meet where we all arrange our accessories on tables in a church hall somewhere and establish some wall charts for ‘most watched videos’ or ‘highest number of times logged into account webpage in first week’?

This sd card is on offer right now £17 for 128gb

Installed Abstract Ocean console wrap and must say it was easy to install, just take your time

AO videos are easy to follow and help greatly. Install when cold in car also helps a lot.

Installed while charging this morning
