Are you buying Tesla Accessories?

[cyberHoward]

I think it would be interesting to find out who is buying what accessories from Tesla and why or why not. I am buying the vault divider as it is better then the wood version I made and use in my current truck. What is the likelihood that some third party will come out with a cheaper/better one? Also, I am considering the rubber bumper guard, but is it better than vinyl wraps I see or should you do both? I will likely order additional L track hooks as well and the under back seat organizer. I have an organizer now in my Ram and keep all kinds of things there such as bungies, rachet straps, rags, tools, ect.

Nice list, thank you! Can you tell me why the CCS Break Away Kit? This is my first EV. Also, how does Apple Play work with the CT? I have Androids and use Android Auto Wireless. What is a window insulator?

This is what I meant for CCS charging
https://evject.com/products/evject
apparently this happens to provide enough extension for a CCS adaptor to fit the cybertruck charge port. Without it the fender flares prevent using a CCS adapter.

The Apple CarPlay adapter was recently reviewed by the RMT family, YouTube channel. it also works for android. Not completely clear whether it works for cybertruck.

window insulation is reflective insulation added to your windows, so that you don’t get as cold at night or hot in the day. Some people just cut up aluminized bubble wrap, but I’m leaning towards the evannex product.

I ordered the expensive Tesla ramp (just one of them) for loading my motorcycles in the bed. It looks light, sturdy and very well-made and like it will double as a camp table. I'm sure I'll find other uses for it too, liike rolling large, freshly cut firewood rounds into the bed. I like that it can be kept in the under-bed storage for emergencies.

I also ordered two bed track cleats because as an ex commercial fisherman I'm used to using ropes to secure loads, not new-fangled bungies and ratchet straps with steel hooks. I'll have some of those too, but they can be limiting and sometimes awkward compared to a rope.

I already have most accessories that I'll need, including a plug kit, recovery ropes, tow straps, soft shackles, high strength kevlar ropes, etc. but I am still on the lookout for a portable compressor that can move a good volume of air at pressure without overheating. I have a few, but even the fastest one will be a little slow for 35" tires. I don't want to go too extreme because I appreciate small and light, but I would like it to have its own battery and also be able to plug into 120V outlet. I don't want to carry around a different battery charger for all my battery powered tools.

I'm also looking for suitable real winter tires. No luck yet.

I'm hoping to use the truck to take me to trailheads that require driving down lots of forest service roads. So in addition to things like Tint, which I do on all my cars.

Spare tire
Chains
Compressor
Electric chainsaw (we come across fallen trees from time to time)
Track matts
Would like to see a winch for the CT, but I suppose recovery tow straps would also work.

I'm sure there's more.

I have historically bought Tesla 'stuff' for myself, my family, and my cars. I have already bought a couple things for my Cybertruck even though I only have a reservation, so I will surely buy some things for the Cybertruck when I eventually get one. Whether they will be Tesla-branded accessories remains to be seen.

For filling tires, the tire is the "tank" and a metal one just becomes superfluous and creates longer run times because the air in the tank ends up being unused. I'm looking for one without a tank. Also, ideally one without a separate charger.

So how do I run trail maps with GPS, such as onX off-road or Gaia GPS?

I have all the "Truck accessories" - eg compressor, traction boards, shovel, etc

CT Specific (waiting for VIN) I've ordered:
Everbright Protectant
TSportline Center Caps
Tesla and Other L-Track tie downs, etc
Tesla Cargo Divider
Tesla Molle Sail Panels
Quadlock / Ram Ball Items - to mount phone/iPad/trailer backup camera screen
Built Right Molle Panels
Tesla Bumper Protectors
Tesla D Rings (6) so all spots have them installed
Bunch of Amazon Stuff: USB Splitter, waterproof 110v Surge Strip, adhesive rubber liner for glove box

Holding / Looking for:
Spare or Full Set of Winter rims/Tires
Frunk Storage Organizer - Tesla doesn't have one and hard to select without truck
Ramp - See how my current one fits
Swaybar disconnects - if I had truck now I'd get unplugged but waiting for refinement or other options
Under Rear Seat storage - want something that doesn't protrude into flat area (eg smaller)
Front Floor Center Storage box/tub
Bumpers (at least rear)- see how the plastic ones hold up
Grey or black or ?? Door/Dash Inserts (don't want white in my truck)
Rear Screen Cover (I won't use much and some sort of hard cover to eliminate damage when I throw stuff in the back seat)
Under Front Seat Storage (if possible)
Cross Bars - not even sure I'll get some but maybe

Not a lot of aftermarket items yet so if I don't like the Tesla items I'll wait to see what comes out in the near future.

winch has been on my mind too, I’ve always had one on my jeep and used it a lot for both homeowner tree removal as well as pulling people out. At this point the only option for the truck would be a tow hitch mounted winch plate but I wouldn’t now where or how to power it. Almost all winches are 12v

Is anyone buying the basic mud flaps from twrap? I feel like I want something to protect from stones, but have not really seen anything else out there?
