Doesn't work for me with wireless charging with the magnet on my phone and I don't like applying 3M tape to my dash, but have used before on older car and worked well.

I am trying to find it, but someone is making a Qi charger that some how attaches to the vent or dash without 3M tape.

Not that one, lol. That one is a joke. This sits up higher and does not use the phone cradle in the car. Great for Waze.

Yes I have seen that but you wind up with a wire you have to run and hide somewhere...correct?
An accessory ..... but first a question:
Do the fold-down visors over the front windshield extend?
When turned to block the sun from the side on my Toyota Avalon, the visor extends back to the B Pillar - Very nice.
My Honda CRV does not .... and it is too short to provide any side protection.
Tell me about the M3's visor.

Yes, roof racks are definitely high on my list of must haves. Does anyone have a clear answer on their availability?
Other items that would be popular are a self-adhesive Model S style "moustache" logo for the front and the much sought after HUD.

I would certainly add in the frunk a cable connected to the 12 V battery, so if the battery was drained,
I will be able to recharge easily the 12 V battery after opening the frunk using a small battery.
How to open a Model 3 frunk using a 9 V battery.
I will then keep a Lithium Jump Starter inside the frunk to recharge the 12 V battery, so I will never be stranded.
Additionally, I will certainly carry a 12 V to 120 V Pure Sine Wave Inverter in the glove-box to recharge my laptop.

Can you explain how this works exactly? Especially the first step about "[adding] in the frunk a cable connected to the 12 V battery" -- how is this connected?I would certainly add in the frunk a cable connected to the 12 V battery, so if the battery was drained,

Well, to recharge the 12 Volt battery you need to access to the (+) and (-) terminal plugs of the battery.
But to access the battery you need to remove a battery cover.
I don't know how complicated it would be to remove the cover but I assume that it might not be designed
to just pop up and you may need some tools and remove some clips.
So I was thinking to try to remove the battery cover to access the battery, then I would install the above
extension cable from the battery to the frunk, and put back the battery cover.
So if I'm stranded, it would be easy to recharge the 12 Volt battery, using a portable battery,
especially at night, or in a rainning day, or if someone else like my wife was expereincing this issue.
Also, I would have a 12 Volt plug available in the frunk, allowing using a mini cooler or a 110v converter.
It just that a drained 12 Volt battery seems to be a common issue to many EVs.
However, when it occurs this can be easilly solved if you can recharge the 12 Volt battery.
The 12 V is needed to activate a relay to have the main 400 Volt battery connected to the car engine.
The main battery then can be use to recharge the 12 V battery. Kind of chicken and eggs situation.
