Is anybody using one? I saw the accordion style one that somebody posted here. Not very attractive, in my opinion. Looking for something that looks more tailored.

Windshield Shade?

I'm using the "HeatShield". It is custom cut for Model 3 but not 100% perfect. Good enough for me though. Doesn't do much for keeping the car cooler (you would need to cover all the glass for that) but it keeps direct sunlight from reaching the seats most of the time.

@Lanzer, that one folds up really small...and it's cheap! Love that!
@MarkinArch, did you look at the Covercraft one before choosing the HeatShield?
I'm debating which style to get, the pop up kind or the big fold-up style.

Nope, when I bought mine there were only a couple options out there and this was the best at the time. I had a similar type in my Audi so I was familiar with it already. I have never liked the collapsible ones, I can never seam to do it right.

I have a Covercraft on order, but they are not shipping until next month. Not sure if they are waiting until they have enough orders for a run, or if they haven’t designed it yet.
It's not a perfect fit. A bit on the small side, but it looks cool:

Custom fit and ships for free. Made in the USA as well! Tesla Model 3 Ultimate Reflector a roll up version is in the works as well if you don't like the style that folds up. Discount code "TMC" gets you 20% off!

I wonder how long before Disney or Pixar gets ahold of the people making these and tells them to stop. I think it's a great idea and looks hilarious but it's obvious where the inspiration is from.
This is the one I got. I think it might actually be licensed.

No photos of it on their website yet, but WeatherTech recently started offering a custom fit sun shade as well:

Looking at it online I think the one we already carry is as good if not better to be honest. The storage bag is included in the price and it’s custom fit. They charge 69.95 for just the shade and another 14.95 for the bag and then another 9$ for shipping. The one I already carry is 64.95 including the bag and free shipping. I will still get one coming and we can do a comparison for everyone.

hehe, i have this for my other car. i like how it looks like the cars from Radiator Springs Racers at California Adventure. just wish it was perforated like the real ones so i could see through (although totally illegal, lol)

I got this one as well and like it a lot. I've had one for our 17 Volt for two years and like it. I tried a folding one first in the Volt and hated it. Bulky, hard to fold and actually not very good at its job.
Ok, maybe I'm being too fussy, but some of these look wrinkly. I guess I have it in my mind that I want it to look like the car was "born that way" with an integrated shade. A tailored fit like the roof shade that Tesla makes. Am I dreaming?
Can you take a photo of your HeadShield, @Foxtrotter?
