So you’ve just purchased a Tesla — now what? Owning a ride in Elon Musk’s fleet of electric vehicles isn’t exactly cheap — the most inexpensive Tesla, the Model 3, currently goes for $42,490, per Carfax — but they do come with benefits.
For example, they rely more upon sustainable energy tech rather than fossil fuels, meaning you won’t be spending your cash at the gas pump. With the extra money you’ll save at the pump, you can instead splurge on tricking out your new Tesla for less than $100.
After all, with spring here, it’s time to hit the road for picnics, brunches, road trips, vacations and spring break. Why not have your Tesla ready for the rides? Here are some of the best items you can buy for your Tesla under $100. Note that the following items are available for the other Tesla models, but the prices provided are for the Model 3.
Also see four Tesla models that have plummeted in value over the past year.
Sunshades
- Price: $100
Tesla’s sunshades for Model 3 models from 2017 to 2020 are made of lightweight and collapsible mesh fabric. They’re designed to block 66% of “luminous transmittance” that hits your Tesla’s sunroof, keeping you comfortable without comprising visibility.
Tesla Paint Repair Kit
- Price: $75
There’s almost nothing worse than buying a new car and then noticing chips and dings in the paint job due to road debris. Tesla has a paint repair kit that comes with matching OEM paint, blending solution, and various brushes and cloths to cover the damage and keep your ride looking new.
Roadside Safety Kit
- Price: $65
It’s never a bad idea to prepare for the worst — which is where Tesla’s roadside safety kit comes in. Packed with a first aid kit, emergency gear and safety items (like a reflecting safety vest and warning triangle), this is a must for any Tesla driver.
Paint Protection Film
- Price: $50
Going hand in hand with your paint repair kit is Tesla’s paint protection film — two clear protective film coverings that protect your Tesla’s fender from the wear and tear of debris, sand, snow and salt regularly encountered on the road and in the elements.
Adapter Door Dock
- Price: $25
This handy adapter dock is designed to fit in your driver’s side door pocket, creating a secure compartment to store your Tesla’s charger adapter, keeping it stowed away yet within easy reach.
