10 things to do between clicking order on your Tesla and the date it arrives. Think of it as almost a beginners guide to owning a Tesla Model 3 (or any other Tesla) to make sure you are prepared for when you go and pick it up or take delivery. Below is a list of things I bought and some general advice.

Hope you enjoy the video, if you do please give it a like, as that really helps the video and my channel. Thanks for having a look at it.

Electricity tariffs:
I’ve found comparison websites haven’t quite caught up to electric car tariffs at the moment, so they are not very helpful in finding the best deal. It’s probably best to google “Electric car electricity tariffs” and explore from there. But this could save you hundreds of ££££ on charging your Tesla Model 3.

You should review this every year, currently I think Octopus seem to have the best deal, but this might change, so don’t take my word for it, have a look yourself.

****************
If you do switch to Octopus though, use my code: https://share.octopus.energy/melon-je...
As that will earn you £50 when you switch (and me £50 as well – every little helps)

The average wh/mile is 250 watt hours in a Tesla Model 3:
You can expect to use 1kWh to go 4 miles (250wh x 4) or (6.5km @160wh/km)
(This may be different for other Models, I can only speak for the my Model 3 Standard Range Plus)

Insurance:
This seems to change with the weather, easiest way is a comparison website like www.comparethemarket.com. I found that doing multiple quotes between ordering and delivery got me the best deal.

Accessories:
Lots of accessory websites, two I like are:
https://www.taptes.com
https://abstractocean.com
or obvious Amazon and Ebay, but there are loads so don’t limit your search to these.

Cleaning preparation:
Here’s my cleaning video on how I clean my Model 3:    • Tesla Model 3 Cleaning Regime  
This is a list of products I use, I think most can be bought from Amazon, I’ve listed my affiliate links below:
Karcher K2 Pressure Washer: https://amzn.to/3uTOfP1
Karcher Snowfoam Nozzle: https://amzn.to/3uRbt8s
Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax 768ml: https://amzn.to/3tVXmNz
(Needs multiple uses to become effective, use a pH neutral snowfoam to allow coats to build up)
Valet PRO PH Netural Snow Foam 5 Litres: https://amzn.to/3eSgEzg
Lambswool washing Mitt: https://amzn.to/3uRbt8s
(There are better ones, but this is cheap and does the job)
Glart Super Absorbent Microfibre Thick Plush Cloths: https://amzn.to/3uMFwhr

Autoglym products are also generally pretty good, I use the shampoo:
Autoglym Car shampoo: https://amzn.to/3tRSl95
Autoglym Interior Shampoo: https://amzn.to/3ojLd3S
Autoglym Glass cleaner: https://amzn.to/3buSo4g (But I think any glass cleaner is as good?)

TOP TIP: If you can’t get wifi to your garage, I use this wifi extender to enable your Tesla to download the latest software updates easily: https://amzn.to/2RVwVuq (TP-LINK RE220)
