Sunglass clip off ($5)
The Model 3 has plenty of spaces to store items in the center console. But because of the panoramic windshield, no overhead storage compartment is dedicated to sunglasses. You’ll need a place to store your sunglasses without them getting scratched. These $5 sunglass clips, which attach to your visor, are a simple and effective solution. The nice thing about this clip is that the mechanism is just a spring. So it doesn’t have anything that can break really. It just holds your sunglasses in there using the tension of the spring.
Microfiber bug scrubber for Tesla Model 3 ($6)
The Model 3 front end is a flat out bug magnet, so you’ll definitely need a little bit more power with this microfiber bug scrubber, made by Viking, to get the bugs off when you’re washing your car. This one is great because it has a mesh microfiber design that’s strong yet safe to use on the car’s clear coat. Plus it’s washable and reusable.
Key Card Holder for Tesla Model 3 ($7)
This next item is an $8 key card holder for your valet with a key chain. This thing is actually really cool. On the off chance that you bring your car to a valet, you can help ensure that they don’t lose your keys, by giving them your Tesla Key Card on a keyring, just like normal car keys. It stores easily in your armrest for when you need it. And hey, it’s only $8.
Suction cups ($9)
These suction cups are only a few dollars on Amazon but they help you tremendously when removing the center cap from your will when you want to put the arrow wheels back on.
If you have the 18-inch standard wheels, you’ll probably at some point, unfortunately, get curb rash. So if you have these standard wheels you need to get the dupli-color touch-up paint. The color is called dark shadow gray and it matches the rim color of the Model 3 wheels almost perfectly. It’s not a complete 100% fixed for curb rash but it does make it look way less noticeable just by putting some of it on.
iPow gooseneck magnetic phone mount ($14)
There aren’t many places to mount your magnetic phone mount in the Model 3, because there isn’t any plastic trim. This gooseneck magnetic phone mount suctions onto the back of your center screen and it places the phone exactly where you want it. At $14 this is the best phone mounting solution for your Model 3 and it’s a strong buy.
Dupli-color Touch-up Paint ($15)
Foldable Windshield Sunshade for Tesla Model 3 ($15)
As an owner or a future owner of a fully electric vehicle, you want to minimize the battery usage as much as possible. This foldable sunshade Tesla Model 3 accessory helps with that. It’s only about 10 bucks and it folds into a nice circle and has a convenient holder for it. And again it will not be taking up a lot of room in your Model 3. It works great for blocking the heat from the Sun, which helps avoid battery drain from the fan kicking in. It definitely is a lifesaver during summer and in hot climates.
Metal pedal covers ($16)
These are actually OEM pedals that come on the performance version of the Model 3. It is made of Aluminum, not painted plastic. But the aluminum is not very thick because it has been shaped to fit the pedal pads and polished to make it easy for drivers’ using.
CarGuys Super Cleaner ($17)
It’s one of the best all-purpose cleaner accessories and works great for the Tesla Model 3 interior. It can clean pretty much any surface except glass. You can use this on:
- The entire;
- All the seats;
- The steering wheel;
- The middle console;
- Almost anything inside the Tesla Model 3.
It also comes with its own microfiber towel, which is nice just to keep in the glove box for whenever you need a quick cleaning without using the actual spray. The cleanser itself does a good job of removing dirt and dust without leaving behind any streaks.
Tesla’s Wood center console vinyl wrap ($20)
As everyone knows the Model 3 center console is a scratch, fingerprint, and dust magnet. Just in a week after you get your Tesla Model 3 you can sure get some scratches on the piano black. You’re going to want to wrap it with something that suits your taste.
EV Wraps Door Sill Clear Protection Vinyl ($25)
The door sills for the Model 3 looks great in aluminum but it is prone to scratches. This clear protection vinyl provides a clear protective layer that does not alter the original beautiful design of the door sill. Keep in mind that it covers and protects only the aluminum door sills on both the driver and passenger sides of the Model 3. It does not cover the non-aluminum portion of the door sill. It’s very simple to install. It’s an easy installation – under 5 minutes. The door sills’ back adopts a transparent sticker. You don’t need to use soap concentrate. Just peel off the sticker and alignment the door sill
Pikabu rearview mirror ($27)
For $27 we’ve got this Pikabu rearview mirror. The Model 3 for some reason comes with a very tiny rearview mirror. Yes, frameless is cool, but seriously the field of view is way too narrow. I’ve been using the Pikabu rearview mirror attachments in all of my cars since I became a parent five years ago. They cost $27 each and are the best of several rearview mirror options. This one’s a strong buy especially if you have kids.
Tesla Model 3 Center Console Wrap ($30)
This next product is definitely a must-have if you want to avoid constantly cleaning the center console in the Model 3. Since it is extremely glossy and it’s a fingerprint and dust magnet to fix this you can get this awesome DIY matte black console wrap kit. The install takes about one hour and is fairly easy but it does take some patience. But it is totally worth it though. It looks and feels great. You may definitely prefer the matte black over the glossy finish, especially when driving, because sometimes when the Sun hits that console, at certain spots and angles the reflection could blind you. So for the price and the look of it, it’s definitely a good deal.
Car wash and wax for your Tesla Model 3 ($36)
This is made by Aero Cosmetics and it has a perfect 5 star ready on Amazon which is pretty impressive. It works great on the Model 3 as well on the Tesla Model S and Model X. The kit comes with everything you need including microfiber towels. What’s great about this is you can use it with or without water.
We tend to use this as a waterless car wash and wax. Here are the steps:
- Just spray it on the car;
- Wipe away the dirt with one side of the microfiber towel;
- Then buff with the other side of the towel for the wax finish;
And in less than 30 minutes you can have a clean and shiny Tesla Model 3 without wasting a bunch of water.

A nice charging pad at a reasonable price. It fits perfectly and has good thick wires. It’s very easy to install. All you have to do is slide out the mat that is included with the car, plug in the pad and done! No USB splitter cable is needed.
Cordless Handheld Vacuum for Tesla Model 3 ($42)
Another Tesla Model 3 aftermarket accessory for keeping the interior clean is a cordless hand vacuum and this Black & Decker is very affordable. It’s not going to be the most advanced hand back but it’s good enough for most car cleanups. With all of these accessories we get for the Model 3, we try to keep it simple and get things that are small because we don’t want to take up a lot of room with accessories. The Handheld Vacuum Cleaner is a low cost, compact, rechargeable and it gets the job done.
TOUGHPRO All-Weather Floor Mats ($80)
Now continuing with the interior needed accessories for Tesla Model 3, these All-Weather Floor Mats for under $100 will come in handy if you ever have passengers riding in your car. And you better be giving people rides don’t be stingy with the Model 3 because everybody wants to ride in it, so make sure you’re giving rides.

They’re super low maintenance and easy to clean. If they ever get all you have to do is spray them down with water. And that’s it. Once they are dry just put them back in the car and they’re almost as good as new. The original floor mats easily get dirt and debris stuck to them, so these all-weather mats are perfect for avoiding dirt and stains from spills.
Tesla All-Weather Front and Rear Trunk Mats ($106)
The well-shaped oblong bumps with deep grooves make sure that any spills, debris would stay contained in the mat instead of making the carpet a whole mess. It fits perfectly and doesn’t smell of rubber. The material is something between rubber and plastic. Just let it sit for a while before putting in the car so it returns to the original shape. The material is flexible enough to gain access to the bottom trunk compartment with no issues.
Dryer plug adapter and Extension cord (~$150)
Obviously, if you buy an electric vehicle you’re gonna need to charge it at home. The next item is a dryer plug adapter and extension cord. Tesla’s require a NEMA 14-50R outlet.
Smart Home Lock ($180)
This product is not something for your car but rather something for your home. It’s the August Smart Home Lock. This lets you turn your existing door lock into a smart lock with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability. As you know with the Tesla Model 3 your smartphone is basically your key.
