8 Model 3 Accessories You Only Buy Once (Skip the Ones Owners Buy Twice)

Already own a $20 part that curled, peeled or never fit? This list is the opposite: eight upgrades checked against your build year, starting with the 15-minute, no-tools seal kit one owner says made his car “about 8DB quieter on the road.”

See the 8 Worth Buying Once

You took delivery of one of the most advanced cars on the road. Then the cheap accessories started arriving: the mat that curls at the edges, the mount that drops your phone at the first pothole, the strip that lifts after a car wash. This list is what to buy instead, once.

A new car does not tell you which accessories you will actually use. Your commute does. Notice where noise enters, what you keep reaching for, and what gets dirty after a normal week.

Fix the repeated annoyance first. You do not need every accessory on this list, and a part for an older Model 3 may not fit a Highland.

TeslaHubs selected these eight options by the job they do, the fit information available and the installation required. This is a guide from the seller, not an independent ranking or a survey of every owner.

The useful question is simple: will this solve a problem in your car, and is there a listed variant that fits? Use that filter before comparing prices.

For new and existing Model 3 owners who want a more comfortable, easier-to-clean car. ProGuard is first for readers investigating wind at the seams; start elsewhere if noise is not your problem.

ProGuard: Advanced Noise Reduction & Weatherproofing Kit

$79.99 $179.99
4.5 (1,036 reviews)

ProGuard adds six model-specific rubber seals at the locations shown in the fitting guide. Choose the exact model/year option before ordering; the piece count alone does not establish fit.

The kit targets wind and gap noise. Published reviewers also describe cleaner door sills. Tire rumble, rough pavement and structural noise can remain, so match the solution to what you hear.

Plan around 15 minutes for installation using the supplied guide. Clean and dry the contact areas, check the diagram, then align and press the seals into place. No panel removal is required.

My car is the new model 3 Performance which is already very quiet compared to the previous model 3 but I still noticed an improvement with less road noise.

The kit arrived well-packed, and each part was labeled correctly. I scanned the QR code provided, and that made the install easier.

The current listed price is $199.99. If your year is missing, ask TeslaHubs which product fits; do not treat a Model Y or Juniper option as a substitute for Highland.

SpaceBox 8.8-inch wireless CarPlay and Android Auto display mounted in Tesla Model 3 dashboard

SpaceBox Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto Adapter

$139.99

SpaceBox adds your phone’s CarPlay or Android Auto interface to the Tesla display already in the car. It is a $139.99 adapter, not an 8.8-inch secondary screen.

Your Tesla needs a supported build year and AMD Ryzen processor. It is not supported in Australia. Follow the pairing guide; manual firmware updates may be needed after software changes.

Custom-fit glass roof sunshade blocking UV rays in Tesla Model 3

Model 3 Glass Roof Sunshade

Check selected shade

For sunlight through the glass, compare the shade made for your exact Model 3; review the covered areas, included pieces and fitting method before buying. A shade is a separate solution from a noise seal.

  • Choose the exact Model 3 or Highland shade
  • Check the areas covered by the package
  • Follow the product’s mounting instructions

It slides left or right for positioning and installs without tools. Check that the location leaves the vehicle display and controls unobstructed before driving.

  • Silicone clip-on holder
  • Model 3 and Highland variants

Best Screen Protection
9H tempered glass screen protector for Tesla Model 3 touchscreen with anti-glare finish

Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Model 3

$49.99

Choose a protector when you want a replaceable layer over the touchscreen. The listing offers matte and glossy finishes, 9H construction and an installation bracket with cleaning supplies.

Wear polarized glasses? The product instructions recommend matte because the clear version can show glare and a rainbow effect through polarized lenses. Confirm screen dimensions for your exact car.

  • Matte and glossy finishes
  • 9H construction
  • Alignment bracket and cleaning supplies
  • Current Model 3 price $49.99

Best Ambient Upgrade
RGB ambient interior lighting kit installed in Tesla Model 3 footwell and dashboard with blue accent glow

DashGlow 360° Vision System (BLIS)

$149.99

Despite its “360° Vision System” name, this product is an RGB dashlight with BLIS visual alerts. It is not a 360-degree camera-view kit. Choose it for the lighting and listed alert features, not a promised camera feed.

The Model 3 variant is labeled 2019–2024; review the connection and installation guide for your build. Driver checks and the car’s own systems remain necessary.

  • RGB dashlight with BLIS alerts
  • Not a camera-view display
  • Model 3 2019–2024 variant listed
  • Current price $149.99

The Questions Every New Owner Asks

Are these worth the money compared to cheaper Amazon alternatives?

Compare the exact item, not the marketplace name. Check model-year fit, included hardware, installation instructions, current price and support. A lower-priced product can be sensible if it does the same job.

With ProGuard, the practical check is whether the selected seals match your car and the noise source. Read the fitting guide and published owner experiences before deciding. Browse TeslaHubs.

ProGuard starts at $79.99 for the listed Model 3/Y options and includes a 2-year product warranty. Returns have unused-item eligibility; they are not an installed trial.

  • Published ProGuard average: 4.50 across 1,036 reviews
  • 2-year ProGuard product warranty
  • Check exact model and year
  • 30-day returns with unused-item eligibility

The quieter rides make long trips so much more enjoyable.

Sean Smith · Published ProGuard review

Does your Model 3 need all eight?

No. Start with one repeated frustration. If the cabin already feels quiet, do not buy a noise kit just because it appears first.

If you are cleaning dirt from the carpet, start with fit-checked mats. If you want a familiar phone interface on the display, check SpaceBox compatibility. If the screen is hard to read through polarized glasses, compare the protector finishes.

Buying for a specific job also makes it easier to judge the result. Check fit before purchase and inspect the package before installation.

  • Choose mats for the footwell you have
  • Choose an adapter only after checking vehicle hardware
  • Choose flaps for the listed model and year
  • Buy for the problem you want to solve

The kit arrived well-packed, and each part was labeled correctly.

A Better Setup for the Drives You Actually Make

The aim is less fiddling: a phone in a useful position, a screen finish you can read, and a fitting noise solution if wind at the seams is the issue. Start with that everyday moment.

For muddy shoes or spilled drinks, choose mats that fit the footwell and follow their cleaning instructions. Keep them clear of the pedals.

For lighting, choose the supported DashGlow variant and understand the installation before fitting. You do not need to buy every upgrade together.

Choose one useful change now. Add the next only when it solves a real problem.

What Owners Measured With Sound Meter Apps

Up to 6X quieter on the highway, with up to 40% less road noise at highway speed. Owners who ran a phone sound-meter app before and after fitting ProGuard report readings like these:

MeasurementBefore ProGuardAfter ProGuard
Highway (70 mph)78 dB65 dB
Heavy rain74 dB62 dB
City driving58 dB52 dB

A 13 dB drop at highway speed is roughly the difference between a busy restaurant and a quiet office. ProGuard is backed by a 2-year product warranty.

Sound figures are customer-reported readings from third-party sound meter apps. Results vary by car, speed and road surface.
