Really, the only thing I recommend you have on hand at the delivery is the screen protector. I bought this one and have been happy with it.

You probably also want to have some sort of USB storage device for your dashcam/sentry mode. This could be a USB thumbdrive, SSD, Harddrive, or SD card (with adapter). As long as it has a decent amount of memory and a decent read/write speed and is USB. You'll need to format it FAT32 for the car to recognize it.

As for other accessories, most people on here choose to wrap their center consoles. It comes with a piano black finish which looks really nice but scratches and shows fingerprints really easily. I suggest the Kenriko center console wraps. They have tons of colors/finishes from matte black to white, to carbon fiber.

After that it is up to you. There are TONs of products that you can use to modify your Model 3. Personal favorites of mine so far are the extra door seals that keep out dirt and slightly reduce wind noise. The aluminum pedals are a really nice touch if you don't have a performance model. All-weather floor mats are really nice. I have the 3D MaxSpider ones but I've heard really good things about the Tuxmats. The wireless chargers for your phone are a good accessory as well.

I have not used one. If you are interested in alternatives though, I use this one and am pretty happy with it.

I work a night shift every week during which I have a 2.5 hour rest break and I go sleep in the Tesla so I am no stranger to Tesla camping. I sleep really well on this. This mattress fits perfectly and i just roll it back up when I'm done, blanket and all. I find it to be quite comfortable and fast and easy to setup/stow. the only minor complaint I would make is that the Model 3 cargo area is slightly slanted, my mattress does not correct for this, I would hope for $700 the dreamcase does.

I bought this one on amazon for about $80: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QNJR94V It was an improvement, but it does trap a bit of heat.

I figured stopping infrared from getting in would be more optimal since there's a lot of glass in the Model 3, so I had Llumar Air80 installed on the windows, roof, back & windshield. While pricey it was a significant improvement over the sun shade because it cut down heat from the windows and the windshield as well as allows better visibility out the back glass. I still feel a bit of heat from the roof when I turn my head but it's hardly noticeable compared to the inferno with no tint or sun shade.

I haven't been compelled to re-install the sun shade now that I have tint, but it would probably improve comfort even more.

Congrats on getting the car! I'm in Canada so I thought I would post some of what I bought.
 
Here’s some of the bits I bought and I noticed I got a lot different items than most people got here

I want a console wrap but haven't pulled a trigger yet
 
Floor mats
https://www.partsengine.ca/u-guard-3d-kagu-maxpider-floor-mat-in-black-p-54811.aspx
apparently Costco and 1010tires carry them but I got them from there
 
The trunk mat from tesla is nice.. I got that as well
https://shop.tesla.com/us/en/product/vehicle-accessories/model-3-all-weather-cargo-mats.html
 
there’s two usb ports up front. I unplugged one of them and put a usb drive in and it records the dashcam, and also records out of the various cameras while it’s in Sentry Mode
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07857Y17V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
 
I got that one because it’s super slim. Just make a folder on the drive called TeslaCam and then put it in the car and it knows to do the rest..
 
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07FL5PPCK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
the lights in the trunk are SO dim they are useless. I got these. They pop out and the cable is just a clip so really easy to install and these are so much brighter and cheap. Worth the upgrade
 
amazon.com items
little mats that go in the cup holders
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KWYMQ8D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
 
makes it easier to clean when milk gets spilled in there
 
no tire place will work on your car without these little plastic protector pucks. They go under the car on the jack lift points, then they will lift the car up. I had to order these for when I got my tires changed and I leave them in the car.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K12932T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got these to protect the seats and doors. I've got a 45+lb mix who drooled a lot in the car when he was younger, and these were great protection. I slide a cushion or two under the seat protector to give him a boost up (short legs) so he can actually stick his face out the window.

​

AND if he's in the back, I always put on the child locks, since it's just a button (not a lever) and much easier for a dog to accidentally hit with paws on the armrest.

I used Wet or Waterless Car Wash Wax Kit (I did waterless) from Amazon and then CarGuys Hybrid Wax Sealant, also waterless.

I copied the links into this post, hopefully they work.

I considered the same but ended up buying one of these. Rolling it up takes up about the same amount of space as the dreamcase, and comfort level was quite good. Only ended up using it one night this summer, and left the car plugged into a 110 outlet so we had 0 battery drain while leaving the A/C on.

Works perfectly for me!

After seeing that email I bought a USB 3.0 splitter and Samsung flash drive with known fast read/write speeds. Worked great with the Nomad during my first day of testing today. Hopefully together they will help me avoid the “gray x” of death on the dashcam.

Two of the bags had the names swapped. So that was fun. But they come with a qr code for each step which links to a youtube video. 1st step took 20 min. The rest was done in 10. So 30 min to figure it out and install. Mine might just be better then the rest. I don't know. Just sick of seeing the.

I was using a dual shock 4 and I bought 2 of these, all buttons work and works on all games, comfortable to hold. And it's cheap

Wired Gaming Controller, EasySMX PC Game Controller Joystick with Dual-Vibration Turbo and Trigger Buttons for Windows/Android/ PS3/ TV Box(Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XB6FRPR/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_maJODbC8EXKFS

And the turbo buttons work! Great for the cup game

Yep, I was surprised too when I was researching this. Ended up getting this tire patch kit and inflator on Amazon. About $60 for the pair. Used it once to remove a nail and patch it up, worked great. I also used to rubber cement on the patch that I bought for $3 at Autozone, not sure if I really needed it but figured might as well add that too.

I have this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WOT3YM6/ - liked it enough that I got them for my wife and daughter also. Worth noting - when using this, you may need to reset the plug after each tire - I have to pull the 12v connection and replug it. I believe that these draw an amount of current that is right at the edge of what the electronic fuse for this circuit seems to think is ok.

Yes, I've read a lot of reports from people complaining about how their USB drive gets 'hot to the touch' when either in hot weather or due to Sentry Mode. Don't forget the car records all 3 streams simultaneously even while driving.

In case others are reading, I would avoid getting something like this:

• https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MobileMate-microSD-Card-Reader/dp/B07G5JV2B5
  
  But instead something like this:
  
  
• https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Reader-Memory-Windows-Simultaneously/dp/B01EFPX9XA
  
  Enjoy!

I use these. They are great.

I bought the SUMK set, top fits great, back comes down a little low in the rear window for my preference: https://www.amazon.com/Model-Sunshade-Sunroof-Window-Compatible/dp/B07QNJR94V

I bought these to help with noise and keep the cabin temp stable.

I’m waiting on this one:

Had the shop that did my tint wrap it. Was going for this look: https://www.amazon.com/EV-Wraps-Tesla-Center-Console/dp/B07FZCPNR8/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=ev+wraps+tesla+model+3+center+console+wrap&qid=1564359292&s=automotive&sr=1-5

Thought about wrapping myself but since I was getting the tint done I decided to have them do it as well.

Hey, thanks for the terms to search for.
This one is more my price point.

SanDisk 128GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07855LJ99?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

You can buy covers specifically for the doors like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071XP55XK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_uWVYDb9ZVKYVV though I can't vouch for a specific product.

I ordered from https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MXT6KFP from /u/kenriko I think

It was easy too. It took two of us only about an hour for four wheels, and we'd never done anything like it before.

Play from the car? I'll try that.

I did just figure something out though, as I'm going back and forth trying various stuff. The larger drive will not format to FAT-32, only exFAT. I cannot get it to show up at all. The smaller drive formats to FAT-32 and I did actually just get it to show up in the car -- when I held it pressed into the USB slot, and slightly pushed to the right. I let go, it goes away. Now that sounds like a hardware problem unless it's my stick, but it's the only FAT-32 stick I have. Didn't realize the 128 GB was exFAT/NTFS only...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07855LJ99/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use these for the front seats whenever I'm worried about color or moisture (sweat) transfer. I keep one under each seat just in case the passenger needs one. The are easy to put on and take off.

Any wireless charging mat that is advertising at charging phones at quick charge 3.0 is lying to you. None of these will work with Samsung's proprietary wireless quick charging either. The samsung wireless fast charging dock won't even work with any other power brick besides the samsung one.


As for it advertising "fast" charging these companies can literally put fast in front of anything. There is no regulation regarding this. So it doesn't matter what the power brick supports that charger will only charge at 5 volt's 2 amps which is already slow wired but wireless it's even slower.


A simple solution would be this. Get a power bank such as this. connect one of the usb ports in the front to charge it and then simply route your cables from the other ports. That way you get usb 3 charging and the car can charge the pack when you aren't around.


Or if you wanna go the alterations route you could do this

I bought it from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/BASENOR-Soundproof-Rubber-Weather-Reduction/dp/B07R13DYYY/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=tesla+model+3&qid=1564800630&s=gateway&sr=8-4

So based on the feedback, I’m thinking both the options below should work well. Personally I’ll try the microsd option first but as a backup would try the ssd also

Option 1:
Samsung PRO Endurance 128GB Micro SDXC Card with Adapter - 100MB/s U1 (MB-MJ128GA/AM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B984HJ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MlMoDbX21VNBH
SanDisk MobileMate USB 3.0 microSD Card Reader - SDDR-B531-GN6NN https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G5JV2B5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cmMoDbE9C9MPD

Option 2:
Samsung T5 Portable SSD - 500GB - USB 3.1 External SSD (MU-PA500B/AM), Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073GZBT36/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qsMoDb42EPX8B

I went with this: https://www.amazon.com/Chamberlain-MYQ-G0301-Garage-Delivery-Eligible/dp/B075H7Z5L8

I’ve had my model 3 for more than a year and have used the Camco Power Grip Extension Cord Nema 14-50 without issue with the Gen 2 mobile charger in my garage.

I use this hub with a Jeda charger.

I'm using this without an issue, but I put a USB splitter in.

Would this USB/MicroSD reader work for what you’re suggesting?

I got this one for a 14-50. I believe the same works for 14-30.

Don’t have them myself, but u/kenriko makes some wheel kits

Bought the wireless charging Mat that replaces the USB one provided with the car. I’m so happy with that $49 Amazon purchase. TapTes brand. Also purchased thr Boulder Pack Co. Compact True-Capacity 20000 mAh Power Bank (with 2 Fast-Charge Smart). And increases the charging Of anything using the Mat.

I added links products that I purchased.

TapTes Charging Mat:

Pass through Charger:

Boulder Pack Co. Compact True-Capacity 20000 mAh Power Bank (with 2 Fast-Charge Smart-Output 3.0A Ports, Pass-Through Charging & TSA Compliant) Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and Android https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CGGGQBS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QFU2CbKCZJJPJ

USB Hub

Sabrent Hub a 3 Porte USB 3.0 in Alluminio Ruotabile Premium [ruotabile a 90°/180°] (HB-R3MC) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013XGK53E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_AIU2CbR569VQT

The hub is used to have more ports in the console to use for Flash Drives or SSD drives to record Sentry and DashCam and also play music from.

To give you an idea of how I set my car up I plug the charging mat directly into the pass-through battery. I plug the battery into one of the two USB ports in front of the console. The output from the battery is higher amperage and charges my phone much faster. The battery pack charges itself when I’m driving.

That frees up one of the USB ports where I plug in the USB splitter and in that splitter I plug-in multiple devices such as a flash drive to record My dashcam and mySentry


Edit: fixed a typo and also added an additional comments.

I find this air pump is easy to use. It's bigger than a book but doesn't take up much space in the subtrunk. Once you plug the tire then you'll need something to air it up. I set the desired pressure and the pump shuts off when the tire hits that pressure. And for maintenance, it's more convenient than feeding quarters into a air machine at a gas station and having to use the tire guage to get to the desired pressure.

I prefer the ToughPro because they provide more coverage at a lower price.
