Best Tesla Summer Accessories
Summer is just around the corner, and it's the perfect time to prepare your Tesla for the hot months. In recent years, we've tested various accessories that are essential during the warm season. Here are five essential products you must have in your Tesla this summer.
Glass Roof Sunshade: Your Savior from the Summer Heat
One of the most impressive features of the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y is the panoramic glass roof. It offers a stunning view, but once temperatures rise, it gets really hot. Our experience shows that the glass roof sunshade for the Model 3 and Model Y works wonders here.
The sunshade not only drastically reduces the interior temperature but also contributes to energy efficiency. Without it, the air conditioning often had to run at full blast, reducing our Tesla's range. With the sunshade, it stays comfortably cool inside and the air conditioning is relieved. You'll be amazed at how much more pleasant your summer drives will be!
The two-piece sunshade is easily attached to the glass roof with clips and can be stored in the supplied carrying bag when not in use. A practical and efficient accessory that we don't want to miss anymore.
Windshield Sunshade: Avoid the Sauna Effect
Have you ever measured the temperature of your dashboard after your Tesla was parked in the blazing sun? We did this with a small laser measuring device and found temperatures over 80 degrees Celsius! No wonder the car sometimes feels like a sauna.
A windshield sunshade can prevent these extreme temperatures. It reflects the sun's rays and keeps the interior significantly cooler. So you no longer have to get into an overheated car and also save energy, as the air conditioning doesn't have to work as hard. A small accessory with a big impact!
HEPA Filter: For Fresh Air with Less Pollen
Summer time also means hay fever season for many. Pollen and other allergens can enter the interior through the air conditioning and become a real nuisance for allergy sufferers. The countermeasure? A better cabin air filter.
These special filters are extremely efficient at filtering pollen and other pollutants from the air. Since we started using the HEPA filters in our Teslas, our allergic reactions have significantly reduced. Installation is not difficult: simply remove the plastic cover, take out the old filters, and insert the new HEPA filters. Now you can breathe easy again! You can find tutorials for this on YouTube.
Folding Table: Comfort on Long Drives
For road trip enthusiasts like us, the folding table is an indispensable accessory. Whether you want to have a meal or work on the go, this table offers the necessary flexibility.
The table folds small and can be stored in the frunk, for example. It is placed on the door and center console at the front seats, providing a stable surface for snacks, drinks, or even your laptop. Especially practical: thanks to its double-folding design, it can also be used in the back seat. Whether you're stuck in traffic or taking a break at a rest stop, this table makes every ride more comfortable.
Frunk Cooler Bag: Cool Drinks Always Within Reach
Nothing beats a cool drink on a hot summer day. And what could be better than always having well-chilled drinks in the car? This is where the Frunk Cooler Bag comes into play.
This bag fits perfectly in the front trunk (frunk) of your Tesla Model 3 or Model Y and keeps drinks as well as food cool for several hours. Whether you're planning a long road trip or just spending a hot summer day at the lake – with the Frunk Cooler Bag, you are well equipped.
