I created this section for recommended accessories that I have personally purchased and used on my own CyberTruck, which I highly recommend!!!

In the future, I will update this guide by adding many more CyberTruck accessories, but for now I am going to just start with my Magsafe wireless charging solution:

 

JAKEe CyberTruck 

Magsafe Dashboard Charging Mounts 

Fit on the AC VENT

Being able to mount and Fast Charge my iPhone 17 Pro Max is essential in my CyberTruck. This mounting system in superb as it allows you to instantly rotate your smartphone from portrait to landscape easily and instantly. In landscape it's great for being able to watch YouTube video (not while driving ;-)

In portrait it's remarkable how useful and easy it is to use your iPhone like it's in your hand. (Once again, I don't NOT recommend you use it while you are driving ;-).

I experimented like crazy for many hours and came up with an amazing solution that is relatively inexpensive, but requires some simple knowledge of who to put everything together, which I cover in this section. This solution is very elegant and requires no glue and leaves no residue. This mounting system is injection molded and NOT 3-D printed.

The parts needed are: 

-Special Magnetic CyberTruck Phone Mount.

The mount linked above is AMAZING and only costs around $12 on Amazon. Later on in this article, I will go over the easiest way to install it.

The image below shows what my wireless Magsafe fast charging solution looks like when you look at it from the front view.

I was initially concerned about how my solution would look aesthetically. I was not only concerned about the exposed pigtail cabling, as seen in the picture below, but also concerned about how the Anker wireless puck would look, but it's a non-issue as I never even notice it. The reason I strategically place the passenger side wireless charger on the far right side is it make it easy to hide the rest of the cable, which tucks away on the side of the dash to it's not visible. I am usually the driver in my CyberTruck, but on the rare occasions I am a passenger, I find this wireless charing solution and mount to be amazing. Particularly as you can use your phone easily for navigating around your phone UI while it's mounted.

Advice: There are other similar mounts to this one, which I tried and they were complete junk, so be certain to only purchase this model, which ironically is way less expensive that other models. Keep in mind, this is just a magnetic mount and will hold your Magsafe or Qi2 compatible phone in portrait or landscape, but will NOT charge it. If you want to add wireless charging, which make a great deal of sense, you will need the following parts:

----------------

-Anker Zolo Magnetic Magsafe Charger, with USB-C cable. Qi2 Certified wireless charing Pad for iPhone 17/16/15/14/13 Series. These come standard in a two pack, so you can mount one on the drivers side and one on the passengers side of your CyberTruck, which I highly recommend.

----------------

-OBD to USB-C Adapter. This is required to be able to plug your Anker Zolo Magsafe Charger in via USB-C.

The CyberTruck has an OBD port located under the left side of the drivers side dash, which you can seen in the image below. We will be plugging the drivers side wireless charger into this adapter, and despite the fact there is a USB-A female as well pictured above in the adapter I recommended, I think you are better off NOT using it for plugging in the passenger side charger, as the USB-C cable on the Anker charger is not long enough to reach this area, and also, if it were to fall down it could wreak havoc in the passenger cabin. So I you want to also install a second wireless charger, as I did, you are better off routing it back to plug it in to the rear center console USB-C female plug.

----------------

-Right Angle USB-C Extension Cable 6.6 feet long for plugging in passenger side wireless Magsafe mount. I recommend if you want to add a passenger side wireless charging mount to plug it in, via USB-C to the back of the center console, but running in under the front passenger seat floor matt, which is very easy to do. The adapter needed is pictured below.

The image below shows this special right-angle USB-C male adapter plugged in to the center console in the back seat of the CyberTruck. Basically, I routed it down the right side of the front dashboard by tucking it into the seam, then ran it down, under the front passenger floor matt, under the seat, and out the back as seen below.

----------------

-VHB Tape Kit. This will be used to semi-permanently attach the Anker Qi2 fast 15W wireless charger to the CyberTruck Phone Mount.

------------------------------------------------

My goal with my CyberTruck is to ONLY have accessories that are HIGHLY useful, and ultra low key. IF you were to get in my CyberTruck, almost all the storage accessories would be practically invisible, and not noticeable, which is by design.

Review & Recommendation: CyberTruck Floor Storage Console

 

Review & Recommendation

CyberTruck Floor Storage Console 

This is a really interesting review for many different reasons. Long before I purchased my CyberTruck, I was studying accessories, and in particular, just like with my original 2014 Model S, the CyberTruck has a huge storage area on the floor, in front of the center console, which is pretty much useless. I am a master designer which 5 decades of design experience, and I would have a hard time improving on the design of this storage console.

Ironically, there are many resellers that sell this same model on the internet, but if you follow my Amazon affiliate link, which I make a small commission on, you can get it for less than $99.

I can't highly enough recommend this storage console which is a complete game-changer, and here are the top 10 reasons why:

-Easy to clean 

-Amazing design that is extremely useful.

-Inexpensive 

-Superb deep storage 

-Superb organization 

-Looks great. Doesn’t look like a science experiment gone astray.

-Massive storage 

-Great cupholders hold water bottles perfectly. 

-Doesn’t interfere or get in the way of anything.

-Seems to really be the missing piece of the puzzle for the in vehicle storage solution. So much so, it actually creates a surplus of storage space which was a pleasant surprise.

I was very concerned about it getting in the way, somehow, where it might interfere, but after testing extensively, it seems to be the exact opposite in the sense that it’s alway completely out of the way.

I think the extra set of cupholders is potentially a game-changer, as it appears to hold my ThermoFlask 22 ounce water bottles PERFECTLY. Not only is the positioning perfect, but so is access for ingress and egress for water bottles. If I am driving my myself, I like to keep my water bottle in the standard right holder, to keep it out of the way, but when driving with others, it’s better to use neither, and that’s a big benefit for this.  Also, it does a great job at holding my ThermoFlask water bottle with the silicone sleeve on its bottom, which does not easily fit in the standard cupholders.

Also, when eating a meal in the car at a fast food restaurant it’s great as you can place a soft drink and water bottle lower in this cupholder, and keep things like French Fries in the upper cupholders. The two cupholders are feature a silicone lining which prevents any noise and offers easy clean up.

Ironically, I like the way the Kleenex box fits in the garbage can area, and it perfectly fits a square (narrow upright) box of Kleenex perfectly. 

In the rearmost storage area I keep loose napkins from take out restaurant food, that can be used for cleaning up quick messes, as well as for when I might need and extra napkin.

The garbage can area as well as the cupholder area, are removable, and underneath, in what I would describe as a hug hidden compartment, you can store a great deal of additional stuff, just make sure you don't store anything down there can can roll around and make noise, but for instance you could store full size boxes of Kleenex tissues. Below we see a transparent view that shows how much extra storage space there is.

It's worth mentioning that you can install this console in just a few second, and it requires zero tools, and if you want to remove it for any reason, including cleaning, it's super easy to remove. This model fits and works with all CyberTruck models, out of the box. I am not crazy about the silver top, and have thought about painting it matte black in the future to make it more invisible. My only advice is, don't store anything in any of the compartments that could roll around/or make noise. On a scale from 1-100 I would give this a strong 98++.

Great CyberTruck Review

Great CyberTruck Review

I have probably watched EVERY single CyberTruck review video on YouTube at least once, and most of them are a terrible waste of time. In other words, most of them are clickbaity, and say, 'blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, the CyberTruck doesn't look like any other vehicle on the road, and it has drive by wire steering coupled with 4 wheel steering which is very unique'. 

I want to learn about cool insight that everybody doesn't already know, or isn't painfully obvious, and that kind of 'out of the box' insight only come from critical thinking, and is hard to come by, and that is what makes TeslaMagazine.org far different than any other online Tesla resource. As you may know I have been publishing RolexMagazine.com for 18 years, and it's exactly the same, in the sense it's not like any other online Rolex resource.

The video review of the CyberTruck seen above is hosted by Dan Markham and is a pretty good review, as it offers some interesting insights. I was shocked to discover that he NEVER removed the wheel covers in the whole 7 months he's owned his CyberTruck, and he points out that your fingers will get all dirty removing them. 

This is true, and why I wear gloves when removing the covers. What he doesn't point out is the extreme benefit, of these covers is that since they protect your entire wheel, not only can you not get curb rash, but also they are wicked-easy to clean as you don't need to clean rims with all kinds of specialty brushes. For the record, I removed my rims a few days after having owned my CyberTruck, which explains why I thought it was strange it took him 7 months to do so, and I also thought it was kinda weird that he was complaining about getting his fingers dirty. I mean, welcome to the real world, as that will happen to ANY and EVERY vehicle if you don't clean them.

He also makes a point about how if you charge at the SuperCharger, it cost much more to charge up a CyberTruck than a Model Y, on a per mile basis. In other words, on a long road trip, the cost to charge up a Model Y, is close to twice as much to cover the same amount of miles. This makes sense as the CyberTruck is close to double the size and weight of the Model S, and the CyberTruck is King of the Road, where the Model Y is generic. Speaking of generic looks, I think his blacked out CyberTruck, looks pretty RaaaaaaD.

Speaking of Tesla Superchargers, I took the photo below at a Tesla Supercharger in Ashland, Oregon and I was shocked at how many different brands were charging at the same time. It's like the United Nations of Superchargers as we see Rivian, Chevy, in the image below, but I also see Ford Lightning and all kinds of other brands charging at Tesla Superchargers. Basically, most other brands, including Mercedes and BMW, just gave up, and threw the towel in and capitulated to Tesla for charging. In my estimation this is a harbinger and sign of things to come in the automotive space, as I believe in the next couple of years we will see the same thing play out with FSD. In other words, I think many, if not all these brands will switch over to FSD, cause if you can't beat em, you better join em.

I remember when Elon mentioned years ago that Tesla would not operate the service centers or superchargers as profit centers, which never really made sense to me. One thing that is crystal clear, is the cost to Supercharge is far more expensive that charging at home, depending unless you live in California which suffers from ridiculously high energy prices.

For the record, I am working on a super detailed video review of my CyberTruck, and I promise once I publish it will be unlike any other video review. I am also working on a number or reviews for superb accessories for the CyberTruck. As previously mentioned, I have watched EVERY CyberTruck review video, including videos on CyberTruck accessories, and I a surprised at many of the products people say they like, as so many of them are a waste of time and money. Since I am a hardcore designer, you can rest assured that I will be scrutinizing all CyberTruck accessories and ONLY sharing information on great products, so stay tuned for that as well!

One More Thang

Dan Markham also shot this AMAZING documentary on how he wrapped his CyberTruck, and it's chock full of amazing insight. 12 minutes in, he give an amazing demo on the self healing characteristics of PPF, which blew my mind!!!!

Spigen Center Console CyberTruck Organizer Tray

 

Spigen Center Console

CyberTruck Top Organizer Tray  

This tray was one of my first purchases for my Cybertruck, and it's a pretty amazing design. It's built like a tank, and is easy to grab to move. I did try other brands, and they were nowhere near as good as this model. I would go so far as to say that Tesla should purchase this design from Spigen and make it the default upper tray in the CyberTruck center console, which is right under the center armrest. 

Speaking of which, in my opinion, Tesla should include all the intelligent storage accessories like this standard with a CyberTruck, but by not offering anything like this, they make what is supposed to be a premium product seem like a stripped down product, which is not cool. This Spigen tray is very reasonably priced at just above $30, and I am providing an Amazon Affiliate link, which I make a small commission from.
