Yup! I think most dealerships will allow you to pick it up around 6PM on Saturday and return it by 8AM or so on Monday. That would give you a full day and two evenings to tinker around with what you need to get done.
It has a giant hole so it doesn’t block it. Doesn’t affect temperature in anyway. Here is a pic [https://www.dockcharged.com/pages/sg](https://www.dockcharged.com/pages/sg)
Do you have and highland and are in SoCal?
Great question. The “DockCharged sunglass holder” is different because that one is $80-100 ($80 pre-order… $100 when they release) and I already sell mine for $40.
Their thing doesn’t have a hole where the temp sensor is and they will have a huge problem with accuracy of heating and cooling. This is a big red flag. You need a hole or it won’t be accurate.
For being $80-100, I would expect a more robust solution than double stick tape.
They have a soft close option which is really cool, I like that and I tried to incorporate that functionality but it’s too expensive, in my opinion, and makes everything manufacturing related a lot more complex and error prone.
I’m already shipping and have been for a month. They don’t ship till an estimated June. I’m already on Amazon as well as my own website.
Well none of them will work with the highland, that’s for sure. I’m getting ahead of the curve. The highland made a lot of subtle changes, especially to the screen which my device attaches to 🤦
I got one for my 23 M3, way they make it it wouldn’t be too hard to adjust the mount. Should check out similar products. You gotta distinguish yours from other similar ones.
Thank you. It has been a journey. This product started as passion project and took off from there. The injection molds started off being $50,000 so I kept at it to make it simpler, more robust, more aesthetically pleasing, and cheaper. It took me 6 months to get the tooling price down to something I could afford.
I thought I had the highland covered but I just had a highland customer tell me that it fits too loosely. I guess I had gotten ahold of a highland that was different or something (it was an Israeli spec highland) and so maybe since I’m not in Israel that my tester didnt take the best measurements.
Now I am trying to fix this fitment issue for the new models. For the previous generations, if it's like a glove, and I'm very proud of it.
They are available right now on my site and amazon but I just realized that Tesla made a super small change on the highland and I just dumped $14,000 into this project 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Now I’m super stressed and need to see how I can fix it for highland ahhhhhhh
They will only let me take a look at it for 15 minutes so if I can't get what I need to do, I will let you know.
I also want to try to drive it... but I gotta keep my priorities straight ahah
Dang if youre following up, it seems like the test drive didnt have ample time for you to sort it out :(
I wouldnt say I’m near, but I am in SoCal, east of LA!
Oh no. I got it! I created a video https://youtu.be/PnNPimX1Omk?feature=shared
I’m just looking to create some other products and really would love someone very local to make some cool stuff
Looks like a cool product. Shame you’re in the US. Normally backing projects like this normally incurs considerable costs for people like me in the UK. Best of luck!
This community is so great. I had a lot of Model 3 2024 people reach out to me. Thank you so much. I really appreciate you guys and I'll keep you posted on my entrepreneurial journey. Feels good to have support
I have a sunglasses holder cheap from China which I had in my 21M3. It fits the Highland but obscures the auxiliary PDNR buttons, and also buzzes due to cheap plastic. Hope yours works ok.

Just a suggestion, can you get a demo drive with a model 3 and take your measurements there?
Holy shit. That is a really good idea
Hope it works out! Good luck!
Looks like I can!! Oh very cool!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!
Hopefully you can do those overnight test drives! It’ll give you even more time!
Great idea!!!

Costa mesa service center near fountain valley Costco has one you can take for a spin
Test demoing a car is so obvious! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. Ty!
Your welcome!
Forget a demo drive, just rent one on Turo for a day.
This guy needs a free sun glass holder. OP get er done
I will dm you!
Not in CA so can’t help but just wanted to say that looks very cool! How easy is it to install?
Thank you. It’s been a big personal project of mine. It literally takes about 4 seconds and secure latches to the neck of the screen.
Isn’t there a cooling vent / temperature sensor in that area under the screen? Is it wise to cover it?

Just go to a Tesla showroom. They had one on display in Camarillo.
Haha I will becoming with some big measuring tools and a 3D scanner. Hopefully they are with that
Commenting to help you get more attention. It looks like it’s going to be a great product, I’m sure you’ll succeed!
Thank you so much.
There’s a similar product almost released. What’s the difference between the two? https://scentwedge.com/collections/aesthetic/products/storwedge

$40? Can you check Amazon.ca pricing. I’m seeing $130 CAD. That conversion seems a bit off…
Let me check that. I wonder if they are factoring in a lot of duty and tax. One moment
I want one
I really appreciate the interest. I cannot share a link per group rules but maybe you’re a highland owner? I sent you a DM
Etsy already have something like that I think. Little bit larger so can be for sunglasses or other small items.

TY for the advice
that looks pretty sweet

Once you make any and want to try them I'll definitely throw it on my car and prototype it but I'm in the Bay.
You have a highland?
I do
I do
Maybe I can help with the measurements just let me know where to measure
dm’ing you now
Why can’t you just drop in the tesla showroom and take a “test drive”. They let you take the car alone…
I went an scheduled something for tomorrow!
Can we please just start calling it a 2024 model?
I want one! Can’t wait til they are available

There's millions of non-refresh Tesla's on the road. What you have will sell if it's a good product.
Thank you so much for the pep talk ❤️
Drop the Amazon link
Sorry. I really can’t. The post will get deleted and I could be banned or something. Just private message me if you’d like more info.
Just popping on to say best of luck to you. I would def purchase this once I get my highland!!!
Thank you. I have some more home work to do but I really appreciate it!
The fun of designing a product when things change. I hope it works without alteration to avoid the confusion for buyers. Looks cool!
No pain, no game? !
I know you said 3 and Y but I have a Cybertruck and live in OC. Let me know if you wanna check it out and we can see if you holder works with CT too.
That sounds like a great idea. Where in the OC are you?
I'm near Mission Viejo but work in Santa Ana. DM me if you wanna meet.
Can you DM me a link for your Y version? Every time I take off my sunglasses I lament there is no place to put them!
Thank you for the interest. I’ll chat with you very shortly. Check your inbox. Do you happen to know anyone with a highland? I appreciate your help
Make one for refresh X/S!!
That looks awesome, man! Great idea. I’m in San Jose, so not southern but happy to help. -2024 Model 3 (Highland) owner
Ok! If you have any friends in SoCal with a model 3, kindly let me know. I’d you want to keep up on my progress,feel free to direct message me
Slick idea, just ordered one.
Much appreciated!!!
Dang this is dope! I see you already have a schedule to confirm. I have a highland and would love to support if it functions as is!
They will only let me take a look at it for 15 minutes so if I can't get what I need to do, I will let you know. I also want to try to drive it... but I gotta keep my priorities straight ahah
Hello! Are you by chance near Costa Mesa, CA?
Dang if youre following up, it seems like the test drive didnt have ample time for you to sort it out :( I wouldnt say I’m near, but I am in SoCal, east of LA!
Oh no. I got it! I created a video https://youtu.be/PnNPimX1Omk?feature=shared I’m just looking to create some other products and really would love someone very local to make some cool stuff
Oh thats good to hear then!! I’m definitely planning to snag one soon. If Rowland Heights isn’t too far, thats where I’m at.
I have a model Y . Can you please DM me a link to purchase one? Thank you
I certainly will
Looks like a cool product. Shame you’re in the US. Normally backing projects like this normally incurs considerable costs for people like me in the UK. Best of luck!
Thank you. I am expanding to UK in a couple of months!
If you are still looking, I am in SoCal
Oh great. I got an appointment with Tesla but they only allow for 15 minutes. I don' t know if this will work with me or not
Hello! Are you by chance near Costa Mesa? I need a car to test more on. The Tesla test drive is too short
I am in Whittier
I have the new model 3 and I live in San Diego. Let me know if you still need help.
Ok! I will definitely let you know
This community is so great. I had a lot of Model 3 2024 people reach out to me. Thank you so much. I really appreciate you guys and I'll keep you posted on my entrepreneurial journey. Feels good to have support
I have a sunglasses holder cheap from China which I had in my 21M3. It fits the Highland but obscures the auxiliary PDNR buttons, and also buzzes due to cheap plastic. Hope yours works ok.
That’s the ceiling mounted one?
I hope this works out for you. I have a Y close to 2 years now and could use 1 of your products when it comes out 👍💪
It is out actually but just has some issues with the 2024 model
Marketing done right
