This is my Tesla Model S/X cubby drawer. There are two versions, one with a standoff for using a metal pull handle and another version with a finger hole, so you

don't need anything else.
I use ABS for printing, but PETG works very well, too, and is shinier. You can apply a wrap to the front to give it a carbon fiber look or whatever else you want. I have Cricut files for the front face somewhere if someone wants those.
I would imagine printing this out of TPU/Ninjaflex might make for an interesting drawer. Both version of the drawer have the integrated J1772 holder. I have a version without it, but I don't really see a point in making a drawer without it, as you don't have to use it if you don't want to and it gives you some space for change or keys, or something else.
This should print fine without any supports.
My Solidworks license expired and they are such a pain to deal with, I haven't bothered renewing it, so this design is stuck in Solidworks and I can't really make any further modifications. I've switched over to Inventor, but importing it leaves a lot to be desired.
The shape of the cubby is really odd, so it leads to some weird angles that are hard to make work on a single piece, if you want the drawer to fit properly. If you look at all the commercial drawers, they don't fit in the cubby exactly right, and now I know why... it's almost impossible to get a properly shaped drawer that will fit the cubby hole.
To make matters worse, it seems different model years have very slightly different cubby dimensions, so the drawer fits some and not others. The solution is to scale this by 1 or 2 % and it should fit your cubby, but it might be a little loose in one dimension when you do that. I had intended this to be a retainer free drawer that could survive ludicrous launches, and it does, if your cubby is of the right vintage. Be sure to take out any rubber material that lines your cubby, as it will not fit with the drawer.
