🧵: The @Tesla Model 3/Y Accessories / Mods I Use Myself and Recommend!

The @Tesla accessory world is full of a lot of quality, useful products but also full of a lot of overpriced junk. I've had my Model Y for 2 months now and spent a lot of time in it (nearly 9k miles!). For many of the types of products, I actually purchased multiple options to test and find the best option which is why I've taken so long to pull together a thread or video (that'll come) with all my recommendations.

A few notes before digging into the accessories:
- These have been tested / used on my 2023 Model AWD 5 seat - some of these may be specific to this configuration and I recommend asking or doublechecking whether your car (especially if Model 3, Model Y 7 seat or older 3/Y) may need a different variant of specific items
- Some of the items will have affiliate links and / or discount codes - these help support making more content by providing a commission to me but do not cost you anything additional.

Let's start with some external style items!
- Wrap / PPF: @stekofficial DYNOprism installed by Tint Pros / Platinum Auto Wraps in Minneapolis (clear PPF used on lights):
- Tint: @SuntekFilm CIR (ceramic) tint also installed by Tint Pros - 70% windshield, 25% front side windows, 50% (on top of factory tint) rear windows
- Wheel covers / hub caps: Tempest 19" wheel covers from EVBase (use "brandenf" for 15% off):
- Center caps for the wheel covers (only blank ones are included) from EVBase - I went with white (use "brandenf" for 15% off):
- Carbon fiber spoiler from EVBase (matte is OEM style, but not $800 like OEM) - (use "brandenf" for 15% off):
- Rear badge: @Abstract_Ocean Performance Emblem in Satin White (use "NOMAD" for 10% off):
- License plate frame: @Tesla official Model Y frame:

- Mud Flaps / Splash Guards: @RallyArmor Mud Flaps: I like these because they don't wrap back onto the plastic molding (or paint on Model 3) and trap dirt / moisture - I went with Dark Grey lettering, but the lettering can be removed if desired. (Use "MUSKBUCKS" for $20 off at @evannex_com) -
- Rocker / Rear Door PPF: My Model Y has full vehicle PPF, but if you don't have that, I highly recommend doing PPF on the rear doors at a minimum or in front of the rear wheels will end up sandblasted:
- Front Grille Screen: Can barely tell this screen is installed unlike many of them that are 2 piece or honeycomb. This prevents leaves, bugs, etc from building up on the radiator/condenser and degrading cooling performance. You may want to remove it (I elected not to use the adhesive and its secure with just the clips) every once in a while to clean it depending on your environment:
- Ceramic Coating: I made a DIY video about this, but I used the @AdamsPolishes Graphene Ceramic Spray coating to coat my car for under $100 all-in.
