Must Have Interior Accessories
Discussion
I just ordered my M3P yesterday and am riding the hype train, can’t wait! But, I wanted to see if there were any interior MUST haves tesla accessories for when the car comes in? I was debating the key card holder, but then I’m under the impression the key card isn’t as important if you use the phone key? I know I want the organizer for the storage compartment and I’ll be doing the wood dash swap to black alcantara. Anything else?
Just figured I’d ask people who already own, wanted some good insight.

Personally, I don't think you need that many interior accessories.
I'd invest in a set of XPE (not rubber) floor mats. Get them from a specialist Tesla accessory supplier and they'll be tailor made to fit perfectly. They are brilliant.
I'd also recommend a screen saver clear cover. Easily removed for cleaning and perfect for protecting your screen from minor scratches and grubby fingers.
You can also buy a plastic parking ticket holder which fixes to your windscreen with double side tape.
If you're buying a pre-highland model and you don't like the plastic wood dash and door cappings, you might want to invest in either carbon fibre or alcantara covers.
There's nothing else really. Maybe a discreet (to fit in the ventilation slot on the dashboard) HUD display.
Edited to show an example picture of an XPE mat. They're hard wearing, easy to clean and they have no odour (unlike a lot of rubber mats).

To answer your question about having a key card holder. In the Model 3 Highland, the card sits where the mobile phone charger, on an alcantara base. It will not move from there (unless you do something really stupid like roll the car). In the previous Model 3, it sits just under the armrest on a plastic base but it's still very secure.
More importantly, I don't think you'll ever use the key card that much. I thought I would but I don't because my phone works perfectly. I always have my card with me but mainly to use in the event my phone runs out of charge.

I'll second this suggestion, but I'll add that a trunk/boot liner made of the same stuff is really nice to have too...I'd invest in a set of XPE (not rubber) floor mats. Get them from a specialist Tesla accessory supplier and they'll be tailor made to fit perfectly. They are brilliant...

Seems to work just fine in many a classic car. Definitely far superior than more grey, or fake plastic.
As a 6-year Model 3P owner, I can confirm that this is a terrible idea, due to both the size of the wood strip and the rake of the windscreen. The relationship between dash and windscreen is nothing like that on any classic car.
