What do you have in your Tesla?

[Max*]

A potty for my young kids.

And I thought we were the only ones.

Frunk:
Water bottles, ice scrapper, touch up paint, UMC bag, etc.

Trunk:
Potty, fans, blankets

Cabin:
Abstract ocean cell phone holder
A lot of junk that my kids bring into the car

Both of our Tesla's have:
* Blackvue 2 channel dashcam
* Extra lighting for the trunk (actually used the leftover wires from the dashcam + $8 set of 4 ultra bright LEDs). Even on the car with PUP the truck is too dark as it comes.
* 12V high power USB charger

On mine, I added (things my wife didn't care to have):
* Stinger VIP dual antenna radar detector + laser jammer
* Tinted windows

I want to get the Blackvue as well but not sure if I want to install myself.

Have they been crash tested?

I can imagine whiplash getting a lot worse when your head bounces back and your neck hits the pillow first instead of the headrest, as designed.

I doubt it, but I'll take that chance

I have lots of things in my car, most of which I have found very useful.

Rola 59001 Rigid Base Trunk Organizer - I have two of these. It fits perfectly into the hidden area in the trunk and works great there. I have a separate one in the main area of the trunk as well and it works great for keeping things from sliding around. If you need the full trunk, it folds up nice and flat and can go right into the hidden area along with the other one so it is completely out of the way.

Heavy Duty Portable Compressor - More powerful than the Tesla version and useful to have in any vehicle.

3D MAXpider Custom Floor Mats for Tesla Model S - I love these things. They keep my floors clean, and are nice and easy to pull out and clean off. They catch any mud, dirt, etc. and look good too.

50 Foot 5-20 Amp Extension Cord - This is good for plugging into a NEMA 5-20 outlet, but you will need the appropriate Tesla adapter as well to use with your UMC.

Various EVSE Adapters - I have several adapter cords and a 14-50 extension cord from these guys. They come in handy if you need to plug into a dryer or stove outlet somewhere, or an RV park.

Seat Protector for Car Seats - This is to protect my seats. Works really well.

ProClip Phone Mount - These are the best around, made specifically for your device and your vehicle. Not cheap, but they don't make them any better.

The headrest is painfully hard....gotta admit that

Do you have any pictures/ details on your led wiring you have? I'm pending delivery and will be installing dash cams, but I'm interested in this to do both at the same time.

I posted a quick description with a picture in this post. In case you didn't know, if your car does not have PUP there are unused wires with connectors, one on each side of the trunk that would normally connect to the extra PUP lights (so they are ON only when trunk should be lit). You can power LED's directly from those connectors if you don't have PUP. If you do have PUP, you can make a pass through connector and connect the new LED's in parallel with the PUP lights on the rear of the trunk.

Lots of threads here on TMC on Blackvue self install, including links to videos. The level of difficulty depends on how well you want to hide the wires and what you feel comfortable with in terms of working on a car. It took me 2-3 hours even doing the second Tesla because I'm a perfectionist and wanted to run the wires "just right", not in the side airbag channel or under the side trim/gasket, and from the roof to the tailgate to go through the rubber boot rather than just have the wire showing. First time around it took probably 4+ hours as I had to learn about the car and where to install things, how the trim is attached, etc. From what I've seen on the forums here, dashcam install price varies between $200 and $400 depending on where you take it.

A cell phone with a working browser!!!



But seriously, I have most of the things already mentioned, except for the kids/potty stuff. WAY past that stage.

A cool stylus for the touchscreen! Mostly for creating my masterpieces on the sketch pad.

A phone holder above the driver's head on the right where I can look over my glasses to see a close screen.

My Garmin GPS (for a variety of reasons: (1) it does not stop working when I lose phone signal because it does not depend on phone connections; (2) It has my 400 or so waypoints, grouped by relatives, places to fly my drone, doctors, favorite restaurants, etc.; (3) It can find my sister's house, and then the nearest Marriott, and incorporate that in the trip, and then the nearest Starbucks on my route and a highway rest stop along the way; (4) it displays the traffic on various routes; (5) it can easily route me to the nearest hospital or police station or post office; (6) It will locate all the nearest Chinese restaurants or bookstores, etc.

A good park blanket in the "sub-basement" of the trunk area.

A bag of wet wipes in the glove compartment for the Ultra White Seats.

Lol, no...I just like to draw quick stick figures in action. My ballerina is nowhere near as elegant as those dancer photos. Those are stunning!

I added the (plastic) chrome trim for the driver mirror/window complex and for each of the rear and passenger window controls. After a little investigation, the Mercedes Benz ones fit for the Tesla S. I love eBay!

I have never been in Chicago. Is it really that bad? I have been to the worst areas in Los Angeles but never felt like I would need one.

A potty for my young kids.

This really hits home for me. We have a potty in our car and my wife prefers to use it over a public restroom...






We have heavily tinted windows btw...

A pillow for taking naps in the back with the seats folded down. A true sign of old age.

 

[Zluz]

Flashlight in the center console, Onewheel in the frunk, roadside kit in the trunk, a few AbstractOcean lights in the interior, and a bunch of electrons under the floorboard.
