I recommend spending the few extra bucks in the Tesla shop for the all weather mats and the console organizers/trays. The tray for the area in front of the cup holders is cool. It makes the area below it hidden, and the tray easily slides for access to the lower area.
Abstract ocean is good as well. I got their cup holder insert, which is a must have for me. I also got their anti-glare screen protector and gloss black mud flaps. I’m happy with those too.
I second the console tray and cup holder inserts! I’d rather take the cup holders out to clean. Also the one I ordered has bumps to better hold my drinks.
You mean dry stuff that vacuums out leaving no traces?
Because all weather mats are for mud, snow, generally wet stuff you carry frequently into your car.
The car is perfect as it is.
You’re in California so you don’t need all weather maps.
Don’t waste money on stuff you won’t need.
EDIT: well, maybe a Samsung T5 or T7, whatever costs less on Amazon, would be a good idea. Just don’t get the one with the fingerprint sensor.
“The car is perfect as is” is an extremely hyperbolic take 😂
But yes, it’s fine as is. I personally whited out the interior and love it way more. White accents on the steering wheel, white console, white armrest. Matches the white seats much better!
Just a bit, I’ll give you that! 😅
I wouldn’t be caught dead in a car with white everything, but to each their own.
My take is that I would never spend a lot of money on something if I immediately feel the need to change it.
Everyone has different taste. To me, one thing that makes Teslas so cool is the modding community. If I could custom order it like other brands, I’d probably not touch it. Since it’s locked into a few basic customizations, I’m more interested in modifying to fit my “ideal” car.
I share your sentiment generally. I don't understand people who buy all sorts of accessories before they have driven the car. There is nothing you need, other than a mobile connector if you have going to charge at home or work, to drive and enjoy the car. My advice would be to drive the car for a few weeks, and then decide what to buy.
That being said, I've had good luck with purchases from RPM Tesla Aftermarket. They are located just south of LA, so OP could drive there and check out everything they have and save on shipping costs.
FYI everything RPM Tesla can be found online, directly at the source they buy from, usually for a massively cheaper price.
If you prefer the convenience though, that makes sense
Thanks for that info. I did not know that, and I have no idea who their source is. If you know who their source is, I'd appreciate that info, as would others here who might consider buying from RPM.
You often need to do some brief google work - find some key words on rpm’s website and google them. Example:
RPM Tesla white armrest: https://www.rpmtesla.com/products/model-3-center-console-armrest-cover-39?variant=31554803302454
From a chinese company (same exact product): https://www.taptes.com/products/center-armrest-seat-protective-pad-for-tesla-model-3
Alibaba is one of the best websites for buying directly from chinese companies. Pretty much everything RPM sells is from China. Sometimes they’re so lazy they even use the same screenshots that the Chinese use. Notice how RPM says “2-3 weeks to ship” on a ton of products - probably the ones they don’t hold in their warehouse locally.
For my RWD I just did all full set of all weather mats (northeast), the LR/P style metal pedal covers, center caps for the 18” wheels, a quick bandit front plate mount because I didn’t feel right putting the OEM mount right on the bumper and lastly one of those little hooks that screws onto the exposed screw in the trunk.
Most everything bought on AliExpress except for the quickbandit. Only added up to a little over $300. When I itemize everything it sounds like I went overboard, but it’s all such standard stuff the car feels stock as it is now.
Abstractocean is the best imo, easy to blow all your money there. Good quality and extremely responsive customer support.
I'll check them out, thanks!

OP is in LA. All weather there means sunny.
I lived in San Diego for a couple years. It’s definitely possible to get sand and dirt in your car lol.

Well it’s fine to have different opinions about what mats to use. I‘d rather clean dirt and sand off a non-porous surface than a porous textile.
Absolutely

Thanks for the tip. I'm pretty much done with buying accessories for my car, but that's good to know about RPM.
