As much as you love your Model 3, a few easy-to-install, affordable accessories can make a WORLD of difference in your experience.
The following accessories are NOT random gadgets I picked out of the blue.
Instead, these are practical accessories the Tesla community as a whole recommends over and over and over again.
In order of popularity based on sales figures, community engagement, and influencers recommendations, below are the most practical add-ons for your Model 3.
If you’re missing any of these, you’ll be SO glad to know how these products have helped hundreds of others get the most out of their cars — and how they can do the same for you.

“I was shocked how perfect they fit. The seamlessly blend with the interior making it look as if the car naturally has the protective covering. It even seals around the contour edges around where the drivers left foot sits and all the spaces in between the seats. Great product!”

2 – A tough, tempered glass screen protector to avoid cracking your main touchscreen display when moving things around. A steal compared to the $1,500 screen replacement.

“Cannot recommend this enough!!! It stopped the glare and made the screen look great all the time with no finger prints ever or weird schmuck getting on the screen. Looks slightly colored off with polarized sunglasses but is still entirely usable. Little to no detail loss. Just get it guys it took me longer to clean my old screen off to put this on then putting this on took lol!!”

3 – Forget about washing your car all the time and save yourself thousands of dollars in paint protection film. Ceramic coating is the cheapest and easiest way to protect your paint.

“So easy even a girl (like me!) can do it! I am a total newbie when it comes to ceramics and even waxing for that matter… I was nervous! But I followed the directions to the T on my 2021 Tesla Model 3. All the steps were time-consuming, but not at all difficult for any beginner to handle. I am very happy with the results. It has been 24 hours and my car looks bloody fantastic!
I made sure that there was no rain in the forecast, as I do not have a garage. I heard a drip on our skylight and rushed outside to check on my car. I was so scared that the weather would ruin all my hard work!! Thankfully, this morning it was still dry as a bone, but I almost stayed up all night to stand guard at my car with a microfiber towel (I’m not kidding folks!). Crisis averted thank god and my lovely is currently baking nicely in the sun to cure.
My only regret is that I do wish I would have ordered two bottles. I ended up wanting to do an extra coat on the whole car but only had enough extra to put another coat on the hood (after waiting the recommended 24 hours, of course!). I will know for next time to order two. All in all, very satisfied with this product and all the instructions and recommendations. You made my Tessie shine brighter than the day I picked her up!”

“The best wireless charger for your Model 3, with the best support. What I love about Taptes products is they are extremely well designed and they have great customer service. For this 2nd Generation charger, I really like that it now supports an additional landscape position. I tried all three spots (two vertical and one sideways) and you can see in the photos they all charge my Pixel 3 wirelessly without any issues. For this version, you can plug them directly into the front Tesla USB ports and even with the latest firmware updates, there are no issues with charging. I tried my wife’s new iPhone XR and yes, it does fit (even with a sizeable case) and it charges wirelessly. I wanted to connect a USB drive for TeslaCam so I used one of the splitters and plugged it into the passenger side USB port. I rarely have someone in the car so I wanted to keep that side dedicated but also support a passenger’s phone. By the way, the charger comes with two splitters!
The install was super easy and the package includes instructions and everything you need. This time, the charging cables are detachable micro USB whereas the first generation were just built in. I really don’t need it but I appreciate the flexibility. For example, if I get a USB hub with USB-C ports, I might buy a micro USB to USB C cable. I’ve emailed support twice and both times they responded quickly and were very helpful. I asked them details about mounting/installing it as well as specifications on the products.
I don’t think you can go wrong with this product. It’s fairly priced, often as a coupon, works perfectly out of the box, ships quickly, and has great support. I would recommend the more expensive versions out there because they all pretty much do the same job.”
