Are you going to DIY ceramic coating?

makes perfect sense to me

I've never done it before. I'll YouTube it and see what it entails. Our VP of HR's son runs a mobile detailing service, I'll see if they do it and see if I can get a deal

PPF at least the hood, fenders and bumper. Then ceramic coat the entire car in the long run it makes keeping black looking fresh much easier.

Easy to install, tough, light weight materials. Easy to clean dirt and spills. Grips the carpet so it will stay in place
I have the same Maxspider trunk mat for my X7, it’s the only one that works well that can fold nicely with the third row seat up. I really like their products even though a lot of people complain about having the 3D logo on them.

I was actually surprised by the quality. Buying on Amazon can be a hit or miss, but these are good

They sell on Amazon but they are a fairly well known brand and are/were active on the Tesla forums.

Agreed should be a standard feature. For some reason the author of that vid doesn't link to the product
https://evoffer.com/product/model-y-...-door-handles/
or this?
https://evoffer.com/product/model-y-...s-rgb-edition/

Sold out, of course.

For whatever reason the passenger front door doesn’t close easily like the other three doors and it’s a known issue which is kind of weird. It would fix that issue completely.

Other than the all weather mats I bought for the passenger and cargo area (under $300), I don't plan on any other accessories. Unlike my IS350 where I went all out crazy (I think my build page is still in my signature), I don't have any other plans for the Y
