Description

Protect your Tesla Model 3 from the elements when you park it outside, and protect it from dust, grime and even potential scratches when you’re parking inside. Our Car Cover, available exclusively at EVANNEX, has been custom-designed for the Tesla Model 3. It is cut to fit Model 3 contours and has a mesh opening to allow appropriate cooling air flow while charging your vehicle. It also has a specific opening (with VELCRO® closure mechanism) to accommodate the Model 3 charging door. Made of an aesthetically pleasing high-grade, water-resistant fabric for strength and durability and lined to protect your vehicle finish, the EVANNEX Model 3 Car Cover is certified for both outdoor and indoor use and comes standard with a custom-designed carrying bag.

Bungee Cord:  The Car Cover for Tesla Model 3 may be purchased with an option bungee cord, recommended for use when your Model 3 is parked in a high wind environment.

The EVANNEX Car Cover for Model 3 has elasticized front and rear bottom border to ensure that it stays in place. However, sustained high winds may cause it to loosen. In such cases, we recommend our custom bungee cord, designed to fit the grommets in the middle of the bottom side edge of the car cover, pass under the vehicle, and secure the cover when high winds are encountered. If you live in a high wind area, our bungee cord is a nice complement to your car cover.

The bungee cord is constructed of elasticized fabric with high strength ABS hooks at each end. One hook fits into the grommet on the lower side of the car cover, the bungee cord is then passed under under Model 3, and the other hook is attached to the grommet on the opposite side of the car cover. Once in place, the bungee cord will help to hold the car cover in place during sustained high winds.

 

 

Specifications

Dimensions and shape:  The Car Cover has been specifically designed to fit the exterior shape of the Tesla Model 3. Therefore when deployed the Car Cover takes the overall dimensions of the Model 3 (approximately 185 inches (7.3m) L x 73 inches (2.9m) W) x 57 inches (2.25m) H). The fabric implementation, cut to accommodate seams, cut shapes, and other cut and sew considerations is approximately 240 inches (6.1m) L x 160 inches (4.0m) W at maximum dimension as a 2D pattern.

Material:  The car cover is fabricated from water-resistant fabric (210D Oxford fabric composite cotton) with a soft lining to protect the Tesla Model 3 finish. All structural seams are double stitched for strength.

Carry Bag:  The Car Cover carry bag is 19.6 inches (50cm) L x 19.6 inches (50cm)  W x 11.8 inches (30cm) H and is made from high strength, red 600D polyester fabric with white piping. It uses a zipper closure and has handles to facilitate carrying. It fits nicely in either the Model 3 frunk or the trunk well.

 

 

FAQ

There are generic car covers out there. Why can’t I just use one of them?

There are car covers that claim to fit Model 3, but they’re actually generic. Their fit is poor, allowing wind and moisture to creep under the cover. Even more important, there is no ventilation mesh and no charge port opening built into the cover. If you need to charge while the cover is on, a generic cover will block cooling air from reaching the battery—not a safe situation. In addition, you’ll have to lift the rear of the cover off the car to get at the charging port. The EVANNEX Car Cover has been designed exclusively for Model 3. The fit is outstanding, and the built-in mesh and charge port opening allows for safe charging, even while the cover is on the car.

Why are there mesh cutouts at the front air dam?

To allow airflow that is required for safe vehicle charging. 

Can I access the charging port?

Absolutely! The Car Cover has a fabric ‘door’ (actually it’s a flap) that is hinged to the Car Cover body. It covers the charge port and can be opened to enable charging. When not in use, it is swung closed and attached securely with hook and loop (VELCRO®) fasteners.

Is there any danger that the car cover will scratch my Tesla Model 3?

Absolutely not. The entire car cover has a soft lining that protects the vehicle finish. However, please be certain NOT to place the Car Cover on the ground, where sand or grit can become attached to the soft inner lining of the car cover. Also, be sure that there is no obvious sand or grit on your Model 3’s exterior surface before you put on the car cover. As is the case for all car covers, sand or grit inside the car cover could potentially create small swirls or scratches.

Is the car cover easy to put on and take off?

Yes. We recommend loosely laying the car cover longitudinally along the hood, roof and trunk hatch of the Model 3. The front contains the wheel and air dam mesh openings. Pull down each side near a side mirrors and cover the mirrors. Then work forward to cover the hood, using the lower elastic in the area of the air dam to fix the cover. Move backward across the trunk hatch to secure the rear using the elastic at the rear bottom of the Car Cover. For removal, simply reverse this process. Check out the ‘Installation’ tab and corresponding video for more in-depth instructions.

My Tesla Model 3 has a spoiler, will the Car Cover fit?

Yes! We designed the Car Cover to fit a Tesla Model 3 with enough “slack” to accommodate either a factory spoiler or any common aftermarket spoiler.

How do I clean my Car Cover, can I machine wash it?

The proper cleaning of the cover should happen with a hose, sponge and water while the car cover is on the car, like you are hand washing the car. You would not want to put our car cover in a washing machine or a dryer. Washing machines and dryers will damage the car cover.

How is the Car Cover secured when it is placed on the Tesla Model 3?

Both the front and rear lower edge of the car cover are elasticized to provide a snug secure fit across and under the front and rear bumpers. The overall Car Cover shape follows the lines of the Model 3.

I live in a really windy area. Will the Model 3 car cover stay in place?

In general, the strong elastic on the front and rear bumper will hold the car cover in place, even in windy conditions. However, if its really, really windy, we advise using the optional bungee cord “belly strap” to secure the car cover. The Model 3 car cover has built-in grommets on both the driver and passenger side that will allow you to create a belly strap using the optional bungee cord.

Can I request a custom stencil or silk screen for the hood of the car cover?

We do not offer customization services, but it would relatively easy to do custom embroidery, apply a stencil or other applique if you so desire.

Does the Car Cover come in other colors?

No. We have found that the color we provide offers good aesthetics while at the same time hiding any dirt or smudges that are a natural occurrence on any fabric over time. 

Where can I store my Car Cover when not in use?

We provide a custom carry bag designed specifically for the Car Cover. It provides zip open and zip closure. The carry bag is made from red polyester fabric. Once placed in the bag, the car cover can be stored in either the frunk or trunk.

Will the Car Cover fit other Tesla vehicles as well?

No, the Car Cover has been specifically designed for the Tesla Model 3. If you have interest in a Tesla Model S or Model X car cover, Please visit the appropriate product pages at evannex.

How is the EVANNEX Car Cover different from the one offered by Tesla?

Both car covers have been designed exclusively for the Tesla Model 3; both have mesh openings to accommodate cooling airflow during charging; both have a specific opening to accommodate the charging door, both are lined with a soft inner fabric; both are available in a grey/taupe color; both come with a custom carrying bag. Tesla Motors offers one car cover for indoor use and another for outdoor use. The EVANNEX car cover is dual purpose and can be used for both indoor and outdoor use. The EVANNEX car cover is priced at about half the price of the Tesla Motors car cover, providing the same functionality and features at significant cost savings.

How long does it take to receive my Car Cover order? 

The EVANNEX Car Cover usually ships within 24 business hours of receipt of order. Delivery time depends on your location relative to South Florida and is typically within three (3) days for the continental U.S.

Does Car Cover ship to international destinations?  

Yes, we ship the Car Cover internationally.

“I’m not a fan of washing my car. It’s not a lazy thing, it is a water thing, so EVANNEX’s car cover for the Model 3 seemed like a great option to solve for that. Our current living situation only allows for one car in the garage, so I’m left to fend for myself for parking (and public charging) while my wife charges comfortably in the garage at night.”

“The downside is that my car takes the brunt of the ocean air and comes away with a mixture of salty, sandy moisture every morning that’s not going to be my friend if I don’t change something. Being located in Florida, the guys over at EVANNEX seem to have read my mind, as the cover not only protects the car, but also has built-in mesh for the charging vents in the front bumper of the Model 3 and a charging flap in the appropriate location. This lets me protect the car at night and while I’m charging for maximum clean car time and minimum water wasted on admittedly infrequent car washes.”
