The oil is only on the sidewalls & so little has been used, especially relative to the tyre width that I can't see how this could spread & then remain on the tread after even a short drive.
At 63 I'm also a very careful wet weather driver (grandfather... not grand prix), I also don't plan on doing this through the winter as the car is likely to be grubby soon after every wash.

If you have some 303 "Aerospace" Protectant (ideal for the seats) it is non-slippery and also works on tyre walls or any other plastic/rubber surfaces e.g. charger cables, wiper blades. It leaves a the surface dark and less shiny (a good thing) and provides UV protection (another good thing).

Looks fabulous. The tyres in particular!4,200m wash, wax, polish, Rain-X on glass & silicone oil on tyre sidewalls to bring everything back 'as new'

Thanks - if you look carefully at the sills you can just see 100mm PPF strip that I applied the day after I got the car (along with the mud flaps).
Took the car for a pre-winter lockdown picnic and top up at the Thetford superchargers to use up some of my free miles before they run out next month
as is the Norfolk way, the place was heaving!

Fitted a CTEK comfort connector with SoC indicator to the 12v battery today so I can keep an eye on battery health as autumn approaches rapidly. Will power the car off and try a test charge in a few weeks on the small CTEK charger I use for my machinery - both of which have very similar size AGM batteries.
Lots of very interesting stuff to look at in more detail with the access panel and air con intake taken off.
The 12v battery terminals had absolutely no protection grease so put some silicon stuff on there and wiped off the excess - they shouldn’t corrode now.

Seat covers, shiny pedals and centre console covers (not wraps)....

I like that the door inserts have been replaced/covered too, much nicer than leaving grey alcantara (the only thing in that photo that looks after market is the large console cover).

I'd say those but also the spoiler looks a different colour though it could be the way the light is.

Thank you, the number plate is subtle but goes well with the car. It’s not the logo as have had that done a while.

Just had another look, have you put a carbon look lip at the bottom of the rear glass, is it to stop water running into the boot?

Yes spot on. Thought I’d give it a go. It does look fairly discreet but unfortunately only improves the water into the boot issue by about 50%.

Is it the absence of condensation in the rear lights?
Thanks. They are the Taptes Nappa covers and I was pleasantly surprised by their quality and fit. I only went with the front covers as I don’t often have a car full. You probably can’t see clearly from my photo, but the outer part is similar to the design of the actual seats, however the centre panels are perforated - I guess to help with the seat heating - but to my eye this isn’t a problem. The installation instructions are hopeless, but YouTube came to the rescue! You also get a cover for the centre armrest/cubbyhole lid, but the fit of this is a bit naff!
Just fitted the Alcantara Dashboard & Console Side Trim Kit which I purchased from @DAJ Automotive.
Tesla Model 3 Alcantara Dashboard & Console Side Trim Kit
Communication from the seller was excellent and the quality of the product is incredible. Extremely well packaged. Took about 20 minutes to install.
The centre console shell is via LuckEasy on AliExpress. Strangely is looks rather pink in the images but in real life it's a close if not identical match.
