Big thanks to Shoptagr for sponsoring today’s
video. So you got yourself a Tesla. Congratulations!
But you’re not quite done yet. In this video
I’m back with my buddy David's Model Y and
my Model 3 to show you some awesome accessories
that will make your Tesla even better. All
the links to everything I mention will be
in the description below along with some coupon
codes for certain items. This list is mainly
for Model Y but many of these items are compatible
with Model 3 as well, and it's broken down
into 3 categories: Must-have accessories,
cleaning tools, and bonus items.
Starting with Must-haves: one of the first
things you should get is a center console
wrap. Like many Tesla owners, I’m not a
fan of the glossy piano black surface of the
center console. It’s a dust and fingerprint
magnet so a quick and easy fix is to install
a center console wrap. They come in many different
finishes, but I prefer the plain matte black
because it matches the rest of the black interior
perfectly. With some patience you can install
it in just a few minutes.
Next up is a screen protector for your display.
The touch screen is the brain of your Tesla
so you need to protect it at all costs. This
screen protector comes in two different options:
a matte finish for reducing glare or crystal
clear if you prefer to not alter the way the
screen looks. I actually have the crystal
clear version on my Model 3, but David has
the matte finish anti-glare version on his
Model Y. Either one you choose, it’s a must
have for protection.
These Tesmanian floor mats are probably the
best Tesla floor mats for under $150. They
are custom designed to maximize protection
of the floors from spills, stains, dirt, snow,
and more. They’re made of premium quality
odorless material that's BPA free, non-Toxic,
and environmentally friendly. The mats are
strong and durable in all weather conditions,
and the best part is they’re very easy to
clean with just a quick spray down from a
hose.
If you’re like me then you want to save
as much money as possible when buying products
online, and that’s where today’s sponsor
Shoptagr can help. Besides browsing for Tesla
accessories I also love to shop for camera
gear which can get expensive. Recently the
new Sony a7siii was announced, but instead
of giving in and buying it right away I saved
it to my Shoptagr watchlist so that I will
get alerted in the future if the price drops.

The next Tesla accessory is the Jeda wireless
pad and hub. The Model Y and newer Model 3s
already have wireless charging, but the Jeda
pad provides an upgraded wireless charging
experience. It’s fast, has a grippy high-quality
surface that's resistant to scratches, and
fits perfectly in the console area to provide
vertical and horizontal charging for up to
3 devices. Jeda’s other product is a 6-in-1
USB hub that allows you to use up to six different
devices for charging and data purposes. It
has three front USB-A ports and two USB-C
ports. One of the USB-A ports is located inside
a special compartment with a magnetic lid
to help hide your Dashcam Sentry Mode storage
device which is a lifesaver if someone ever
breaks into your Tesla they won’t be able
to take the USB drive because they won’t
be able to see it.
This next accessory is a magnetic phone holder
mount. As much as I love Tesla’s 15” touch
screen I still like to use my phone for certain
things like Waze navigation and Spotify because
Tesla's Spotify app is still very lackluster.
So in order to safely use my phone while driving
I got this magnetic phone holder that mounts
to the display using a non-residue adhesive,
and it works pretty well. It comes with a
slim magnet that sticks to the back of your
phone case, and you can mount it vertically
or horizontally. I mounted mine vertically,
and it allows me to safely use my phone while
driving instead of putting it down in the
console area. And it does a good job at keeping
the phone held securely in place without moving
around even when turning and speeding up. It
also really comes in handy if you drive Uber
or Lyft.
The last item in the Must have category is
the door label kit. Once you get your Model
Y or Model 3 you’ll quickly realize that
many of the passengers will be confused on
how to open the door from the inside. These
simple labels that show an open door icon
will save you from having to explain which
button to press to every single rider when
they are getting out. I think Tesla is rumored
to actually put these on their doors at some
point, but for now these are a quick and easy
fix.
To kick off the cleaning tools section, this
303 protectant spray works wonders at giving
your dash and glove box surfaces a nice smooth
matte finish to help protect them from scratching
or scuffing easily. It’s not made to remove
scratches, but rather you should spray it
on as a preventative measure. However, I did
scratch my dash before putting this stuff
on, and when I did put it on it helped clear
the scratches almost completely.
For cleaning the interior I use CarGuys Super
Cleaner which is an all-purpose multi-surface
cleaning spray that works great on pretty
much the entire interior except for glass.
But it’s great for cleaning all surfaces
of the seats, the inside of the doors, along
with the armrest surface and even the console
wrap too. It comes with a microfiber cloth
so you just spray it on the cloth then wipe
down the interior. I keep this in my trunk
for quick clean ups as well.
For cleaning the touch screen display David
got this All-In-One Screen Cleaner tool that
has a soft micro-fiber cleaning surface on
all sides, but it also has an integrated spray
so you can quickly spray and wipe to clean
the screen. This is especially handy during
these times of trying to stay as healthy as
possible because the cleaning solution inside
is anti-bacterial, and is fully compatible
with screen protectors.
For cleaning the exterior there are a few
options. If the car isn’t extremely dirty
I love to use this all-in-one waterless wash
and wax kit from AeroCosmetics which comes
with its own microfiber towels. This gives
the car a very nice shine, and like the name
suggests it doesn’t use any water. However,
you can choose to use water with it if the
car needs more of a deeper clean. But for
the deepest clean I recommend either a 2-bucket
car wash kit like this one from Chemical Guys
or something like this that I have which is
a GreenWorks electric pressure washer, and
as long as it’s below 1900 PSI it should
be safe to use on a car’s paint. I have
the 1700 PSI model, but you can also get 1500
PSI. It comes with two different spray heads
depending on your needs. I like to use the
40 degree head unless I have a lot of bugs
to get off the front bumper then I’ll use
the 20 degree head. It comes with its own
soap applicator bottle which I fill up with
this Karcher biodegradable wash and wax soap,
and it does a pretty decent job for a touchless
wash while not harming the environment.
These bonus accessories include some things
that are not absolutely necessary but are
nice to have. David got these cool puddle
lights that illuminate the ground with the
Tesla "T” logo when you open the car door
at night. They come with a special wedge tool
to assist with removal of factory lighting
so anyone should be able to do it themselves.
He also got this rear seat pet cover for his
dog Luna which helps protect the seat and
floor from damage and stains. It’s foldable
and easily fits in any of the storage compartments
in the Model Y, and it also fits the Model
3.
The Model Y tow hitch from Tesla can be a
little expensive so if you want to save money
and do the install yourself, you can get this
tow hitch from Teslarati which is only around
$320, and it comes with step by step instructions
for installing it yourself. They also have
one for the Model 3.
Neither the Model Y nor the Model 3 come with
a spare tire so if you travel a lot you may
want to get this spare tire kit by Modern
Spare. It comes with a carrying case and all
the tools you need to put the spare tire on
if you ever find yourself needing one. They
make them for the Model 3 and Model Y.
If you want some high quality air fresheners
to keep your Tesla smelling good check out
Scent Wedge. They’re made from real wood
infused with all natural ingredients and fit
perfectly in the vent area and offer some
very nice refreshing scents. They recently
just came out with a new product called Desk
Wedge which is also made of wood and gives
you a place to put your laptop or tablet when
you’re parked so you can get some work done
which comes in handy if you’re Supercharging.
It also fits nicely into the center console
area for storage.
Last but not least, if you want a nice foldable
mattress for your Model 3 or Model Y check
out TesMat. I don’t own one of these yet
but I plan to get one soon. It’s the only
one I’ve found that looks comfortable enough
that also folds and fits into the sub trunk
area. Definitely handy for camping.
So those were all the best accessories for
the Tesla Model Y and Model 3. Did I miss
