Wood trim covers

[Pacemaker1000]

Will be first change when new car arrives is there a favourite? Stick on or complete replacement, any problems with rattles?
wondering if will need to spend a couple of hundred or if cheap ones any good

if cost a lot to do then maybe worth considering going for white interior and kill two birds..lol

Back in 2020, I put a cover over the dashboard wood in our Model 3. After 6 months it completely warped and no longer covered all of the wood. The manufacturer (RPM Tesla) refused to do anything about it so I ended up removing it. The adhesive removed bits of the wood with it and ruined the wood underneath. I ended up using one of those wood crayons that you can buy to hide scratches on wood furniture but you can still see where the wood chipped off if you look carefully.

My advice: If you absolutely can't live with the wood, look for one of the kits that replaces the entire part and not just a cover.

Just be aware that if you want to replace the entire dash trim the Austin/Berlin built Y comes with the gen 3 part which I haven’t seen available yet anywhere. Most of the replacement dash trim pieces are the gen 2.

When I ordered my M3P, went with white interior due to not liking the wood trim (looks horrible). In 10 days I take delivery of a MYP and went with white interior again (wood still looks horrible).

Yeah. Not a fan of using VHB tape on wood. Probably would look like *sugar* when you take it off. Just order the white trim from tesla and either wrap or paint.
Yeah, I know, “what if I don’t plan on taking it off.”

I may be in the minority, but I actually like the real wood trim.

I didn’t like it much when I ordered my MY, but after having it for 10 days , it kinda grows on you.

I just checked out Hills and really like their designs. Also, look like high-quality products. Is an affiliate code for a discount available?

I just checked. They didn't offer a discount code haha. Just the affiliate link. Let me try emailing them. Pretty sure I can't link it here so you'd have to check out the YT video. Yeah. just washed the car today and the dashboard looks great. I realized that my dog scratched it but you can't really tell unlike vinyl.

I'm guessing you don't live in Arizona? I'm worried about getting their cover and then having it peel after a year in 150 degree heat
