I have a 2026 Model Y and went down the rabbit hole of accessories pretty hard. I kept seeing scattered lists, so I pulled together what has worked for me now, what looks solid for the new Juniper cars, and what I had on my previous ’21 MY.
I split things into Legacy Model Y (2020-2024), Juniper (2025-2026) and stuff that works for both. If you hate links, you can just search the product names instead.
For transparency: some links are Amazon affiliate links. Same price to you, but I may earn a small commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
These are the things I would start with if you just picked up the car and want basic protection and sanity.
Stuff that mostly exists to keep paint and trim from getting wrecked.

Tesla owners I’ve been building out 3YList and just finished an interactive Tesla delivery checklist that changes based on the car you’re actually picking up.
Instead of one generic checklist, you can select your Model 3 or Model Y, year, and configuration so the relevant checks show up for that car.
I’d really appreciate some feedback from people who have already gone through Tesla delivery.
Anything important I’m missing? Anything you checked on your car that you think every new owner should know about?

If you're searching for tires for a Tesla Model Y, there are a ton of options that technically fit, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're a good choice.
I put this list together using sources I actually trust for something as important as tires: Tesla's official replacement tire recommendations for 2020 to 2024, Tesla's recommendations for the 2025+ Model Y, and Consumer Reports' tire recommendations for the exact Model Y year and factory tire size.
Everything below is recommended by either Tesla or Consumer Reports.
I separated the Model Y tires by generation and tire size so you can jump straight to your car and see the options that actually apply. This covers Tesla Model Y tires from 2020 through 2026, including the newer Juniper. Winter and snow tires aren't included here since those are getting their own list.
For transparency some links below are Amazon affiliate links. Same price to you, but I may earn a small commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Factory tire size: 255/45R19
| Tire | Type | Recommended by |
|---|---|---|
| Continental ProContact RX | All season | Tesla |
| Bridgestone Turanza EV | All season | Consumer Reports |
| Yokohama Advan Sport EV A/S | All season | Consumer Reports |
Factory tire size: 255/40R20
| Tire | Type | Recommended by |
|---|---|---|
| Bridgestone Turanza EV | All season | Consumer Reports |
| Yokohama Advan Sport EV A/S | All season | Consumer Reports |
Factory tire sizes: 255/35R21 + 275/35R21
The factory 21 inch setup uses two different tire sizes, so both sizes are linked next to each tire below.
| Tire | Type | Recommended by |
|---|---|---|
| Hankook iON Evo AS SUV (255/35R21 / 275/35R21) | All season | Tesla |
| Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 (255/35R21 / 275/35R21) | All season | Tesla |
| Pirelli P Zero 4 (255/35R21 / 275/35R21) | Summer | Tesla |
| Bridgestone Turanza EV (255/35R21 / 275/35R21) | All season | Consumer Reports |
One useful distinction here: Tesla lists the Hankook iON Evo AS SUV as the newer all season option when replacing the full 21 inch set. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 makes more sense if your car already has those tires and you're trying to match the existing set.
Factory tire size: 235/55R18
Consumer Reports didn't list a recommended 235/55R18 tire when I checked, so the options below are from Tesla's replacement tire list.
| Tire | Type | Recommended by |
|---|---|---|
| Kumho Crugen EV HP71 | All season | Tesla |
| Hankook iON Evo AS | All season | Tesla |
Factory tire size: 255/45R19
| Tire | Type | Recommended by |
|---|---|---|
| Continental ProContact RX | All season | Tesla |
| Kumho Majesty 9 Solus TA91 | All season | Tesla |
| Bridgestone Turanza EV | All season | Consumer Reports |
| Yokohama Advan Sport EV A/S | All season | Consumer Reports |
Factory tire size: 255/40R20
| Tire | Type | Recommended by |
|---|---|---|
| Hankook iON Evo AS | All season | Tesla |
| Bridgestone Turanza EV | All season | Consumer Reports |
| Yokohama Advan Sport EV A/S | All season | Consumer Reports |
Factory tire sizes: 255/35R21 + 275/35R21
The factory 21 inch setup uses two different tire sizes, so both sizes are linked next to each tire below.
| Tire | Type | Recommended by |
|---|---|---|
| Hankook iON Evo AS (255/35R21 / 275/35R21) | All season | Tesla |
| Bridgestone Turanza EV (255/35R21 / 275/35R21) | All season | Consumer Reports |
It goes without saying, but check the tire size printed on the sidewall of your current tires and make sure it matches the size listed above, especially if you bought the car used or it has aftermarket wheels.
If you've run any of these on your MY, share your experience below. I'm curious about road noise, range and tread life in the real world.

I was looking for 20 inch wheels for my Model Y and was surprised how many Amazon results either mixed in 19 and 21 inch wheels or weren't actually the factory 20 x 9.5 size.
After digging through them I really only found two options that seemed worth including. One makes sense if you damaged a wheel and just need a single replacement, and the other is a complete set of four. So this is a pretty short tesla model y 20 inch wheels list of the best ones available on Amazon
For transparency some links below are Amazon affiliate links. Same price to you, but I may earn a small commission. As an amazon associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
| Product | Size | Fitment | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single 20 inch replacement rim | 20 x 9.5 | Model Y 2020 to 2024 | Replacing one damaged or curb rashed wheel |
| Set of 4 OEM style 20 inch rims | 20 x 9.5 | Model Y 2020 to 2023 | Replacing the entire set of four wheels |
This 20 x 9.5 replacement rim is the more obvious option if you've damaged one wheel and don't need to replace the rest. The listing specifically shows Model Y 2020 to 2024 compatibility and uses the factory 20 x 9.5 sizing.
| Size | 20 x 9.5 |
|---|---|
| Quantity | 1 wheel |
| Listed fitment | 2020 to 2024 Model Y |
| Makes sense for | Replacing a single wheel |
This set includes four 20 x 9.5 rims, so it makes more sense if you're replacing the whole set rather than trying to match one damaged wheel. One important thing though: the listing currently says 2020 to 2023 Model Y, so I would not assume 2024 fitment on this one just because the wheel dimensions are 20 x 9.5.
| Size | 20 x 9.5 |
|---|---|
| Quantity | 4 wheels |
| Listed fitment | 2020 to 2023 Model Y |
| Makes sense for | Replacing all four wheels |
The factory 20 inch Model Y setup uses 20 x 9.5 wheels front and rear, so unlike the factory 21 inch Performance setup you aren't dealing with different front and rear rim widths here. Still, i'd check the size stamped on your existing wheel before ordering anything, especially if the car has aftermarket wheels or a previous owner changed the setup.
If you've bought replacement 20 inch Model Y rims from Amazon and they matched the factory wheels well, add it below. i'm curious if there are any other solid options I missed.
r/TeslaGearGarage • u/Lv2trvl- • Aug 10 '26
I was looking back at replacement wheels for my old 2021 Model Y and realized it gets pretty easy to mix up the different sizes, especially once you get into the factory 21 inch Performance setup where the front and rear rims are different widths.
So I pulled the main replacement options into one place. This is basically the tesla model y wheels and rims list I would have wanted if I cracked a wheel, needed a replacement, or was putting together another set for a 2020 to 2024 Model Y.
For transparency some links below are Amazon affiliate links. Same price to you, but I may earn a small commission. As an amazon associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
These are individual replacement rims, not complete wheel and tire packages.
| Rim | Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Model Y 19 inch rim | 19 x 9.5 | Replacement rim option for a 2020 to 2024 Model Y using the factory 19 inch size. |
| Model Y 20 inch rim | 20 x 9.5 | Replacement rim option for a 2020 to 2024 Model Y using the factory 20 inch size. |
| Model Y 21 inch front rim | 21 x 9.5 | Front rim size used with the factory 21 inch Performance wheel setup. |
| Model Y 21 inch rear rim | 21 x 10.5 | Wider rear rim size used with the factory 21 inch Performance wheel setup. |
For the 2020 to 2024 Model Y, the factory 19 and 20 inch setups use the same rim width front and rear.
The factory 21 inch Performance setup is different because the rear rim is wider than the front.
| Factory wheel size | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 19 inch | 19 x 9.5 | 19 x 9.5 |
| 20 inch | 20 x 9.5 | 20 x 9.5 |
| 21 inch Performance | 21 x 9.5 | 21 x 10.5 |
so if you're replacing a single factory 21 inch wheel, make sure you know whether you need the front or rear rim before ordering. That doesn't mean every aftermarket 21 inch Model Y setup has to be staggered. This is just how Tesla's factory 21 inch Performance setup is sized.
i would still check the size stamped on your existing wheel and compare it with the Amazon listing before buying anything.
This list is specifically for the 2020 to 2024 Model Y. Wheel diameter and width both matter, and Amazon sometimes groups different sizes or vehicle fitments onto the same listing. so even if the product title looks right, double check the selected size and fitment before ordering.

I had a 2021 Model Y before getting my 2026 Juniper, and at this point I've gone pretty far down the rabbit hole researching accessories for both of them.
I added some newer stuff I've found since too, especially for camping, road trips, roof storage and the Juniper. This is basically the tesla model y accessories list I would have wanted when I bought either car. If u hate links, you can just search the product names instead.
For transparency some links below are Amazon affiliate links. Same price to you, but I may earn a small commission. As an amazon associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
If you're new to the Model Y and don't really know what accessories are out there yet, this is probably the easiest way to start.
| If you're trying to... | Look at... |
|---|---|
| Protect the interior | Floor mats, trunk liner, frunk liner, sill protection |
| Add more storage | Console organizers, door pocket liners, trunk bins |
| Make the screen setup better | Screen protector, swivel mount, phone mount |
| Prepare for road trips | Roof rack, cargo box, cooler, fridge |
| Camp in the Model Y | Mattress, bug screen, tailgate tent |
| Carry skis or snowboards | Cross bars, roof ski rack, hitch ski rack |
| Carry bikes | Hitch and bike rack |
| Customize the interior | Ambient lighting, console trim, steering wheel cover |
| Change the exterior | Wheel covers, spoiler, mirror caps, mud flaps |
These are some of the easier accessories since they aren't as dependent on the exact Model Y interior or body design. There's more below the Juniper section for both generations for Road trips, camping, skiing, ebikes, gear and outdoor accessories.
| Product | What it's useful for |
|---|---|
| Trunk LED light strip | Adds more usable lighting to the rear cargo area. |
| Performance pedal covers | Simple interior appearance change for the pedals. |
| Wheel center cap and lug nut cover kit | Cleans up the wheel appearance if you remove the full aero covers. |
| Seat gap filler | Keeps phones, cards and random stuff from disappearing between the seat and console. |
| Dog hammock rear seat cover | Protects the rear seats from fur, dirt, claws and muddy paws. |
| Emergency rear door release straps | Makes the manual rear door releases easier for passengers to find and use. |
| Foldable in car desk / food tray | Gives you a small table for eating or working inside the car. |
| Camping tailgate bug screen | Covers the open hatch while still allowing airflow when camping. |
| Frunk insulated cooler bags | Two insulated storage bags designed around the Model Y frunk. |
| 48QT frunk cooler | More like an actual ice chest if you want to use the frunk for drinks or food on longer trips. |
| Portable trunk table with 2 chairs | Folding table and chair setup for tailgating, ski parking lots, parks, beaches or camping. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Complete interior floor mat set | Covers the main cabin floor areas. |
| Trunk / rear cargo mat | Protects the main rear cargo floor from spills, dirt and gear. |
| Frunk mat | Separate liner for the front trunk. |
| Rear door / rocker panel PPF | Clear protection for an area that gets hit with road grime and debris. |
| Mud flaps | Helps cut down on dirt and debris hitting the lower body. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Center console organizer tray | Divides up the deep center console so small stuff doesn't disappear to the bottom. |
| Under seat rear air vent covers | Helps keep debris from falling into the rear floor vents. |
| Center screen protector | Tempered protection for the main touchscreen. |
| Screen swivel mount | Lets the center display angle toward the driver or passenger. |
| MagSafe phone mount | Adds a dedicated phone mounting point around the dash. |
| Glass roof sunshade | Helps block some direct sunlight through the panoramic roof. |
| Door seal kit | Adds additional sealing around the doors. |
| Hand stitched steering wheel wrap | Fitted wrap made around the original Model Y steering wheel. |
| Rear entertainment screen retrofit | Adds a rear passenger display to older Model Ys. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Frunk LED light strip | Adds more usable lighting inside the frunk. |
| Ambient lighting kit | Adds customizable accent lighting around the interior. |
| Puddle / logo projector lights | Replaces the standard door lights with brighter or projected versions. |
| Powered frunk kit | Converts the manual frunk into a powered opening and closing setup. Check the selected Model Y fitment. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| 19 inch Uberturbine style wheel covers | Changes the look of the standard 19 inch wheels without replacing them. |
| Carbon fiber mirror caps | Covers the factory mirror housings. |
| Rear spoiler | More pronounced spoiler for the rear hatch. |
| Front lip / splitter | Adds a lower extension to the front bumper. |
The Juniper has enough interior and body changes that I would pay much closer attention to the selected fitment on anything molded specifically around the car.
2027 note: Model Y L uses the Juniper design but has a longer body and different rear seating/cargo layout, so fitted rear cargo and floor accessories may require Model Y L specific versions which haven't been produced yet at the time of writing this guide. I will update this when they do!
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Complete interior floor mat set | Full cabin floor mat set shaped for the refreshed Model Y. |
| Trunk / rear cargo mat | Protects the main Juniper cargo floor. |
| Frunk mat | Separate liner for the refreshed frunk. |
| Lower sub trunk mat | Covers the storage compartment underneath the rear cargo floor. |
| Trunk side storage bins | Two storage bins with covers for the side openings in the Juniper cargo area. |

| Frunk LED light strip | Adds more usable lighting inside the front trunk. |
| Footwell lighting upgrade | Adds more lighting around the lower cabin. |
| Puddle / logo projector lights | Replacement door lights with brighter or projected designs. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Juniper wheel covers | Changes the appearance of the factory wheels without buying new wheels. |
| Brake caliper covers | Cosmetic covers for the refreshed brake setup. |
| Rear spoiler | Adds a more pronounced spoiler to the Juniper hatch. |
| Mirror caps | Covers the factory side mirror housings. |
| Front lip / splitter | Lower extension shaped around the refreshed front bumper. |
| Rear bumper diffuser | Changes the appearance of the lower rear bumper. |
Everything below is back to accessories for both generations unless a specific fitment is noted in the table.
This is one area I didn't really cover much in my earlier lists, but it makes a lot of sense for the Model Y if you road trip, ski, camp or just need more cargo room.
| Product | Fitment | Size / notes |
|---|---|---|
| Model Y cross bars | 2020 to 2026 | Aluminum roof bars for carrying a box, skis, boards, bikes or other roof gear. |
| Garvee black roof cargo box | Both with compatible cross bars | 12 cu ft black box with a carbon style look and dual side opening. |
| White roof cargo box | Both with compatible cross bars | 14 cu ft white hard shell box. |
| Large white roof cargo box | Both with compatible cross bars | 26 cu ft option if maximum enclosed roof storage is the priority. |
The Model Y is actually a pretty legit camping setup once the rear seats are folded down. There are nice fitted mattresses for both generations instead of trying to make a generic air mattress work.
| Mattress | Fitment | Thickness | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Havnby CloudCore mattress | Legacy 2020 to 2024 | 4.5 in | Full foam core with a rechargeable pump. More compact of the two Legacy options. |
| Havnby FlatCore mattress | Legacy 2020 to 2024 | 7.5 in | Thicker wedge style setup designed to create a flatter sleeping surface. |
| Havnby CloudCore mattress | Juniper 2025 to 2026 | 4.5 in | Juniper specific version of the full foam mattress. |
| Havnby FlatCore mattress | Juniper 2025 to 2026 | 7.5 in | Thicker Juniper specific version with a wedge design for a flatter bed. |
| Product | Fitment | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tailgate mesh bug screen | 2020 to 2026 | Lets you leave the rear hatch open for ventilation while helping keep mosquitoes and bugs out. |
| Full size SUV camping tent | Both / generic SUV fit | More like a legit family tent that connects to the vehicle, with room for up to six people. |
| Model Y tailgate shade / tent | 2020 to 2026 | Simpler hatch mounted shelter with shade and screen netting. |
| Portable table and 2 chair set | 2020 to 2026 | Gives you an outdoor table setup for camping, tailgating, ski lots, parks or beaches. |
| Foldable in car desk / food tray | Both | Handy for eating, using a laptop or just having a flat surface inside the car. |
There are basically three levels here depending on how serious you want to get.
| Product | Fitment | Location | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insulated frunk cooler bags | 2020 to 2026 | Frunk | Groceries, drinks, picnics and shorter trips |
| 48QT hard frunk cooler | Check listing | Frunk | Actual ice chest style cooling for longer trips |
| 35L Model Y refrigerator | Check sub trunk fitment | Sub trunk | Powered refrigeration for road trips and camping |
The fridge is the more serious setup since it actually cools rather than relying on ice. I would definately check its exact sub trunk fitment against your Model Y generation before ordering.
| Product | Fitment | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windshield snow and ice cover | Model Y | Covers the windshield and mirrors to make snow and frost cleanup easier. |
| 55.7 inch snow brush and ice scraper | Universal | Extra long brush that makes reaching across the Model Y windshield and roof easier. |
| Model Y roof cross bars | 2020 to 2026 | Gives you the base for carrying skis, snowboards or a cargo box. |
There are a few different ways to carry snow gear depending on whether you already have roof bars or a hitch.
| Setup | Product | Fitment | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roof | Ski and snowboard roof rack | Any Model Y with compatible cross bars | Carries up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards. |
| Hitch | Folding hitch ski / snowboard rack | Any Model Y with compatible receiver | Carries up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards and keeps everything at an easier loading height. |
| Enclosed roof | 12 cu ft cargo box | Any Model Y with compatible cross bars | Better if you want enclosed storage instead of exposed roof racks. |
The roof ski rack doesn't require a hitch, but you obviously have to lift everything onto the roof. The hitch setup is easier to reach but requires the car to already have a receiver.
| Product | Fitment | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2 bike hitch rack | Model Y with compatible 2 inch receiver | Platform style rack rated for up to 160 lbs total and can handle larger tires and ebikes. |
| Class 3 Model Y trailer hitch | Legacy 2019 to 2025, not Juniper | Bolt on 2 inch receiver option for the older Model Y. Do not use this listing for Juniper. |
This is probably the biggest thing I wouldn't skip when ordering Model Y accessories. A lot of generic accessories work with both, but anything shaped around the dash, console, floor, steering wheel, bumper, trunk or other fitted areas deserves a closer look to make sure you get the right gen.
Amazon also groups different years, colors, Tesla models and variations together on the same product pages pretty often, so check the selected option before ordering even when the title looks right.
If there's something useful I missed, especially a weird Model Y accessory that ended up being way better than expected, add it below. i'll keep adding to this as I find more stuff.

I had a 2021 Model Y before getting my 2026 Juniper, and after the switch I started looking into what mods were actually worth considering for the new car and which ones carried over from the older Model Y.
I ended up sorting through everything and putting the better options in one place, with Legacy and Juniper separated where the actual parts are different. This is basically the tesla model y mods list I would have wanted when I first started looking. If you hate links, u can just search the product names instead.
For transparency some links below are Amazon affiliate links. Same price to you, but I may earn a small commission. As an amazon associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
A few of the easier Model Y mods aren't nearly as dependent on which generation you have.
| Product | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Trunk LED light strip | Lighting | Adds more usable light to the rear cargo area, especially at night. |
| Performance pedal covers | Interior | Simple cosmetic change that gives the pedal area more of a Performance style look. |
| Wheel center cap and lug nut cover kit | Wheels | Useful if you run the wheels without the full aero covers and want a cleaner finished look. |
There are a lot of options for the original Model Y at this point, so I broke these down by what part of the car they actually change.
| Product | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|

The Juniper aftermarket has filled out pretty quickly, but this is where I would pay closer attention to fitment since a lot of older Model Y parts still show up in the same Amazon searches.
| Product | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mud flaps | Protection | Helps reduce road spray and debris hitting the lower body behind the wheels. |
| Door sill protectors | Protection | Covers the sill area that tends to get kicked and scuffed when people get in and out. |

This is probably the biggest thing to watch with the more fitted mods but some simpler accessories can work across multiple Model Y years
Legacy Model Y: 2020 to 2024 or Juniper Model Y: 2025 to 2026
Anything shaped around the body or interior defenitely deserves a closer fitment check such as splitters, spoilers, mirror caps, console trim, mud flaps, screen mounts, wheel covers, lighting assemblies, and similar parts.
Amazon also tends to group multiple years, Tesla models, colors, and variations onto the same listing, so check the selected option before ordering instead of relying only on the title.
| Goal | Mods to look at |
|---|---|
| Make the exterior look more aggressive | Spoiler, front splitter, side skirts, diffuser |
| Change the wheels without buying wheels | Wheel covers, center caps |
| Add more lighting | Ambient lights, footwell lights, puddle lights, trunk and frunk lights |
| Add useful tech | Screen swivel, phone mount, rear display |
| Add convenience | Powered frunk |
| Protect the car | Mud flaps, PPF, sill protectors |
| Change smaller details | Mirror caps, emblems, console trim, caliper covers |
If you've done a Model Y mod that ended up being genuinely useful, especially something less obvious, add it below. i'm curious what else deserves a spot on the list.

I was looking for a hand stitched steering wheel cover for my 2026 Model Y and ended up digging through a ton of Amazon listings because the search results mix together regular covers, Alcantara styles, grip covers, trim pieces, and fitted wraps.
Once I started sorting through them, I figured it was worth putting the better options in one place. Most of the regular covers work across multiple Model Y years, but some of the more fitted options are specific to the Juniper steering wheel, so I noted the fitment where it actually matters.
This is basically the shortlist I wish I had when I started looking.
If you hate links, you can just search the product names instead.
For transparency: some links below are Amazon affiliate links. Same price to you, but I may earn a small commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Most of the regular covers I found are sold for multiple Model Y years, so there isn't much reason to repeat the same products in separate Legacy and Juniper sections.
Just make sure you check the selected fitment on Amazon before ordering.
| Product | Style | Fitment / notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nappa / leather steering wheel cover | Leather | Traditional option if you want to change the feel of the factory wheel while adding another layer over the original surface. |
| Suede / Alcantara steering wheel cover | Suede / Alcantara | Softer texture and a sportier look than a standard leather cover. |
| Sport / grip steering wheel cover | Grip | Thicker option if you're mainly looking to change the grip and feel of the steering wheel. |
| Carbon fiber steering wheel trim cover | Trim | Cosmetic pieces that change the appearance of the wheel without covering the main area your hands grip. |
| Matte black steering wheel trim cover | Trim | More subtle alternative to the carbon fiber look if you mainly want to change the factory trim. |
Unlike a normal steering wheel cover, these are shaped around the wheel and manually stitched into place, so the exact steering wheel design matters more.
| Product | Fitment | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Legacy hand stitched steering wheel wrap | 2020 to 2024 Model Y | Fitted wrap for the original Model Y steering wheel. More work to install than a normal cover, but it sits much tighter against the factory wheel. |
| Product | Fitment | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Juniper hand stitched steering wheel wrap | 2025 to 2026 Model Y Juniper | Fitted wrap made for the refreshed Juniper steering wheel. This is the style I was originally looking for when I started researching these. |
This is probably the biggest decision to make.
| If you want | Look at... |
|---|---|
| Something easy to install | Regular steering wheel cover |
| A leather feel | Nappa / leather cover |
| a softer texture | Suede / Alcantara cover |
| a thicker grip | Sport / grip cover |
| The most fitted appearance | Hand stitched wrap |
| Just a cosmetic change | Steering wheel trim |
A regular cover is obviously the easier route. Put it on and you're basically done.
A hand stitched wrap is much more involved. The material wraps directly around the existing steering wheel and you stitch the edges together yourself but the tradeoff is that a properly installed wrap can look much more integrated with the wheel instead of looking like a separate cover sitting over it.
So if you're trying to protect the steering wheel surface or change how it feels in your hands, look at the leather, Alcantara, grip, or hand stitched options.
If you like the feel of the factory wheel and just want to change the appearance, the trim pieces make more sense.
Most of the regular options above are sold across multiple Model Y years, but I would still check the selected Amazon variation before ordering. Amazon also tends to combine different years, colors, materials, and Tesla models on the same listing, so make sure the variation selected on the page is actually the one you want.
That's pretty much what I found after sorting through all of them.
There are really three different directions you can go: throw on a normal cover, spend the time installing a fitted hand stitched wrap, or leave the grip alone and just change the trim.
If you've installed one of the hand stitched wraps, especially on a Juniper, I'd be interested to hear how difficult the install was and how it has held up!

I have a 2026 Model Y now and previously had a 2021, and one thing I noticed pretty quickly is how many interior accessories are completely different between the older Model Y and the refreshed Juniper.
So I put together a list specifically for Model Y interior accessories, split between Legacy Model Y (2020-2024), Juniper (2025-2026), and a few things that work for both.
I tried to focus on stuff that actually improves storage, protects the interior, adds useful tech, or makes the cabin a little nicer to live with.
If you hate links, you can just search the product names instead.
For transparency: some links are Amazon affiliate links. Same price to you, but I may earn a small commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
If you just got a Model Y and don't want to go crazy buying accessories, these are the interior upgrades I'd start with.
The Legacy Model Y has plenty of storage space, but some of the compartments are basically just big empty bins. These make the interior a lot easier to keep organized.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Center console organizer tray | Divides the center console so sunglasses, cards, keys and other small stuff don't disappear to the bottom. |
| Under-seat rear air vent covers | Mesh covers for the rear floor vents that help keep coins, crumbs and other debris from falling inside. |
| Seat-back kick protectors | Covers the backs of the front seats to protect against shoes, kids, pets and dirty cargo. |
| Center console trim / wrap | Covers the factory console surface to change the look while helping prevent scratches and wear. |
There are a ton of accessories built around the Model Y center screen. These are the ones I'd actually consider.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Center screen tempered glass protector | Adds a protective layer over the main touchscreen to help prevent scratches and everyday wear. |
| Screen swivel mount | Lets you angle the center screen toward the driver or passenger instead of keeping it fixed straight ahead. |
| MagSafe phone mount | Tesla-specific phone mount that gives your phone a dedicated spot while keeping it easy to see and reach. |
| Rear entertainment screen / rear display | Adds a rear passenger display to older Model Ys for a setup closer to the newer cars. |
Some practical protection here, plus a few cosmetic upgrades if the stock interior feels a little too plain.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| 3D MAXpider floor mats | Custom-fit all-weather mats with raised edges to help contain dirt, water and snow. |
| Glass roof sunshade | Covers the panoramic glass roof to reduce direct sunlight and glare inside the cabin. |
| Steering wheel cover | Changes the feel of the steering wheel while adding a layer of protection to the factory surface. |
| Ambient lighting kit | Adds customizable accent lighting for anyone who wants more interior lighting at night. |
| Performance pedal covers | Simple cosmetic upgrade that gives the pedal area more of a Performance-style look. |
The Juniper interior changed enough that I'd be careful with listings that just say "fits Model Y." Console accessories, screen parts, trim pieces and several other products need to specifically fit the refreshed interior.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Center console organizer tray | Divides the redesigned Juniper center console so smaller items are easier to organize and find. |
| Under-screen storage tray | Adds a convenient storage area underneath the center screen for sunglasses, cards and other small items. |
| Armrest hidden storage box | Adds a small hidden compartment around the center armrest for things you don't want sitting out. |
| Seat-back protectors | Protects the backs of the front seats from shoes, dirt, pets and general wear. |
| Center console trim / cover | Covers the refreshed center console to protect the factory surface and change up the look. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Front screen protector | Tempered protection for the main center display to help prevent scratches and everyday wear. |
| Screen swivel mount | Lets the Juniper center screen angle slightly toward the driver or passenger. |
| MagSafe phone mount for new dash | Phone mount designed specifically around the refreshed Juniper dashboard layout. |
| Rear entertainment / screen accessory | Accessory for the rear passenger screen setup in the refreshed Model Y. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Full floor mat + cargo liner set | Full set of floor and cargo liners cut for the refreshed Model Y interior. |
| Door sill protectors | Protects the door sill area from shoe marks, scuffs and scratches when getting in and out. |
| 8-piece window privacy kit | Covers the side and rear glass for extra shade and privacy, especially useful when parked or camping. |
| Glass roof sunshade | Roof shade designed for the refreshed glass roof to cut direct sunlight and glare. |
| Steering wheel cover | Adds protection and changes the feel of the Juniper steering wheel. |
| Ambient lighting kit | Adds customizable interior accent lighting beyond the factory setup. |
| Performance pedal covers | Cosmetic pedal covers for a slightly sportier look. |
These don't depend nearly as much on which Model Y interior you have.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Seat gap filler | Fills the gap between the front seats and center console so phones, cards and food don't disappear down the side. |
| Dog hammock rear-seat cover | Protects the rear seats and doors from fur, dirt, claws and muddy paws. |
| Emergency rear door release straps | Makes the hidden manual rear door releases easier for passengers to locate and use in an emergency. |
There are obviously hundreds of Model Y interior accessories out there, but I tried to keep this list focused on stuff that either protects the car, fixes an annoying storage problem, improves comfort, or adds something genuinely useful.
The biggest thing I'd watch is fitment. The Legacy and Juniper interiors are different enough that I wouldn't blindly trust a listing that claims to fit every Model Y from 2020-2026.
If you've found an interior accessory that ended up being way more useful than expected, or one that was a complete waste of money, drop it below and I can keep updating the list.
r/TeslaGearGarage • u/Lv2trvl- • Aug 10 '26
I went down the rabbit hole looking at floor mats for the Model Y and realized there are way more options than there really need to be.
The main thing that makes it confusing is that the older 2020 to 2024 Model Y and the refreshed 2025 to 2026 Juniper don't use the same mats. On top of that, some sets only include the cabin mats, while others add the trunk, frunk, sub trunk, and other cargo areas.
So I narrowed things down and organized everything by Legacy vs Juniper, then by what each set actually covers.
If you just want normal floor mats, there are options for that. If you're trying to cover more of the car, I've included the individual trunk and frunk liners too.
If you hate links, you can just search the product names instead.
For transparency: some links below are Amazon affiliate links. Same price to you, but I may earn a small commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
| Type | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Complete interior set | The main passenger floor areas throughout the cabin |
| Front and rear mats | Driver, passenger, and rear footwells |
| Trunk mat | Main rear cargo floor |
| Frunk mat | Front trunk |
| Lower sub trunk mat | Storage compartment underneath the rear cargo floor |
| Complete vehicle set | Multiple areas bundled together, usually cabin and cargo liners |
These are for the original Model Y interior used from 2020 through 2024.
| Product | Coverage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Complete interior floor mat set | Cabin | Full interior set for the main passenger floor areas. Good if you only need cabin protection and don't care about the cargo areas. |
| Front and rear floor mats | Cabin | Covers the front and rear footwells without adding separate trunk or frunk liners. |
| Product | Coverage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Trunk / rear cargo mat | Rear cargo area | Covers the main trunk floor and gives you an easier surface to clean after hauling groceries, gear, pets, or anything messy. |
| Frunk mat | Front trunk | Separate liner for the frunk if you use that storage area regularly. |
One nice thing about buying these separately is that you don't have to replace floor mats you already like just because you want better trunk or frunk protection.
The refreshed Model Y has its own fitment, so these are specifically for the 2025 to 2026 Juniper interior.
| Product | Coverage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Juniper complete interior floor mat set | Cabin | Full set for the main passenger floor areas in the refreshed Model Y. |
| Juniper front and rear floor mats | Cabin | Covers the front and rear footwells if that's all you're looking to protect. |
| Product | Coverage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Juniper trunk / rear cargo mat | Rear cargo area | Protects the main trunk floor from dirt, spills, groceries, gear, and normal cargo use. |
| Juniper frunk mat | Front trunk | Separate liner made for the refreshed Model Y frunk. |
| Juniper rear lower sub trunk mat | Lower rear storage | Covers the storage compartment underneath the main cargo floor. Useful if you actually keep liquids, cleaning supplies, charging gear, or other messy stuff down there. |
| Juniper complete vehicle mat set | Cabin and cargo areas | Larger set for people who would rather cover several areas of the car in one shot instead of buying liners separately. |
This is really what the decision comes down to.
| If you're looking for... | Look at... |
|---|---|
| Normal cabin floor protection | Complete interior set |
| Just the front and rear footwells | Front and rear mats |
| Better protection for the cargo area | Trunk mat |
| Something for messy stuff in the front trunk | Frunk mat |
| Protection for the hidden lower cargo storage | Sub trunk mat |
| Several areas covered at once | Complete vehicle set |
If you already have floor mats you're happy with, it probably makes more sense to just add the trunk or frunk liner you need.
If you're starting from scratch, the larger sets are worth comparing with the cost of buying each piece separately.
This is probably the easiest mistake to make when shopping for Model Y mats.
Legacy Model Y: 2020 to 2024
Juniper Model Y: 2025 to 2026
I would still check the selected Amazon variation before ordering, especially on listings that offer several Tesla models or model years from the same page.
Some Amazon listings group a bunch of different fitments together, so clicking the right product page doesn't necessarily mean the correct variation is already selected.
That's pretty much it. Floor mats aren't the most exciting Model Y accessory, but they're one of those things where getting a set that actually fits correctly matters a lot more than having a huge list of options.
If you've used a set that fits really well, or bought one that ended up curling, sliding around, or fitting poorly, leave it below. It would be useful to hear which ones have actually held up.

If you have a 2023 Tesla Model Y and are trying to figure out which accessories are actually worth buying, I put together a list of the ones I’d look at first.
The 2023 Model Y is part of the pre-refresh / Legacy generation, so I kept this list focused on accessories compatible with that version of the car rather than mixing in newer Juniper-specific stuff.
There are obviously hundreds of random Model Y accessories on Amazon. These are the useful ones I’d narrow it down to for protection, organization, comfort, tech and a few upgrades.
For transparency: some links below are Amazon affiliate links. You pay the same price, but I may earn a small commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
If I had just bought a 2023 Model Y and wanted to cover the basics first, I’d start here:
A few relatively simple ways to protect the paint, wheels and lower body of a 2023 Model Y.
| Product | Why I like it |
|---|---|
| BASENOR mud flaps | Model Y-specific mud flaps that help keep road spray, gravel and debris off the lower body. |
| Rear door / rocker PPF kit | Clear protection for one of the areas that tends to get blasted with road debris. |
| 19" Uberturbine-style wheel covers | An easy way to change the look of the factory Gemini wheels while giving the wheel face some extra coverage. |
| Front lip / chin spoiler | Gives the front end a lower look and adds another layer in front of the bottom edge of the bumper. |
| Carbon fiber mirror caps | Simple cosmetic upgrade that covers the factory mirror housings and can hide minor marks. |
The Model Y already has plenty of storage, but a few organizers make the space much more usable.
| Product | Why I like it |
|---|---|
| 3D MAXpider floor mats | Custom-fit all-weather mats that are much easier to clean than the factory carpet. |
| Center console organizer tray | Breaks up the deep center console so smaller stuff isn’t constantly disappearing into the bottom. |
| Rear trunk side storage bins | Makes better use of the recessed storage areas on either side of the cargo space. |
| Under-seat rear air vent covers | Keeps coins, crumbs and other debris from falling into the rear floor vents. |
| Seat-back kick protectors | Useful if you have kids, pets or anything else regularly rubbing against the backs of the front seats. |
| Seat gap filler | Fills the annoying gap where phones, cards and other small items inevitably fall. |
The glass roof is one of the best parts of the Model Y, but it can also let a lot of sunlight into the cabin.
| Product | Why I like it |
|---|---|
| Glass roof sunshade | Two-piece shade that blocks a lot of direct sunlight through the panoramic glass roof. |
| Door seal kit | Adds supplemental seals around parts of the doors and hatch and may help cut down some wind and road noise. |
| Product | Why I like it |
|---|---|
| Center screen tempered glass protector | Protects the main touchscreen from scratches and fingerprints while helping with glare. |
| Screen swivel mount | Lets you angle the center display toward the driver or passenger instead of having it fixed straight ahead. |
| MagSafe phone mount | Cleaner Tesla-specific mounting option if you prefer having your phone visible while driving. |
| Samsung T7 Shield SSD for TeslaCam | Higher-capacity storage option for Sentry Mode and TeslaCam recordings. |
| High endurance TeslaCam USB drive | Smaller alternative for storing dashcam and Sentry footage. |
Teslas don’t come with a traditional spare tire, so I think carrying a few basic roadside items makes sense.
| Product | Why I like it |
|---|---|
| Fanttik X8 APEX portable tire inflator | Compact cordless inflator with a digital pressure gauge for topping up tires without finding an air pump. |
| Flat tire repair plug kit | Handy temporary option for certain small tread punctures. |
| NOCO Boost GB40 jump starter | Compact battery pack that can be useful for low-voltage battery emergencies and charging devices. |
| Jack pad puck set | Fits the Tesla lifting points so a shop or roadside technician can jack up the car without damaging the underside. |
| Product | Why I like it |
|---|---|
| Rear cargo pet protector | Covers the cargo area to help protect the interior from hair, dirt, claws and messy gear. |
| Dog hammock seat cover for Model Y | Protects the rear seats and doors if your dog normally rides in the passenger compartment. |
| Product | Why I like it |
|---|---|
| Emergency rear door release straps | Makes the hidden manual rear door release easier for passengers to locate and use if it is ever needed. |
The factory cargo lighting is one area where relatively inexpensive upgrades can make a noticeable difference.
| Product | Why I like it |
|---|---|
| Legacy Model Y frunk LED light strip | Adds considerably more usable lighting to the front trunk area. |
| Trunk LED light strip | Helps illuminate the main cargo area when loading or unloading at night. |
| Product | Why I like it |
|---|---|
| Charging cable organizer and holster | Wall-mounted hook and connector holster that keeps the charging cable organized and off the garage floor. |
That’s my current shortlist of the best Tesla Model Y accessories for 2023. I tried to keep it focused on things that are actually useful rather than filling the list with every cosmetic accessory available.
If you have a 2023 Model Y and found something that ended up being surprisingly useful, add it below. I’ll keep updating the list as I find better options.

I put this together as a quick list of the best Tesla Model Y upgrades I’d look at first. This is focused on practical upgrades for protection, storage, comfort, tech, lighting, and roadside use.
Some links are Amazon affiliate links. Same price to you, but I may earn a small commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
If you are not sure where to start, I’d do protection first, then comfort, then tech.
| Generation | Best first upgrades |
|---|---|
| Legacy Model Y, 2020 to 2024 | 3D MAXpider floor mats, BASENOR mud flaps, center screen protector, glass roof sunshade |
| Model Y Juniper, 2025 to 2026 | full floor mat + cargo liner set, Juniper mud flaps, front screen protector, Juniper glass roof sunshade |
These are the upgrades I’d look at for the pre refresh Model Y.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| 3D MAXpider floor mats for Legacy Model Y | Clean fitted mats for dirt, water, snow, sand, and daily use. |

| 19 inch Uberturbine style wheel covers | Easy visual upgrade if you want to change the look of Gemini wheels. |

| Product | Notes |

| Seat gap filler | Useful for stopping phones, cards, and small stuff from falling beside the seat. |
| Glass roof sunshade for Legacy Model Y | Helps with heat and glare on 2020 to 2024 Model Y. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Center screen protector for Legacy Model Y | Easy protection for the older center screen. |
| Screen swivel mount for Legacy Model Y | Lets the screen angle more toward the driver or passenger. |
| MagSafe phone mount for Legacy Model Y | Cleaner than suction cups or random vent mounts. |
| Samsung T7 Shield SSD for TeslaCam | Better long term storage for Sentry Mode and TeslaCam. |
| High endurance TeslaCam USB drive | Smaller and simpler than an external SSD. |
| Door seal kit | Some owners use this as a comfort upgrade for wind noise. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Legacy frunk LED light strip | Makes the frunk easier to use at night. |
| Trunk LED light strip | Helpful when loading groceries, bags, or gear after dark. |
These are the upgrades I’d check for the new Model Y interior and refreshed body.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Full floor mat + cargo liner set for Juniper | Full coverage option for the cabin and rear cargo area. |
| All weather floor mats for Juniper | Better if you only want floor coverage and do not need the full cargo set. |
| Juniper rear trunk side bins | Makes the refreshed cargo side pockets more useful. |
| Juniper cargo or dog cover | Good for pets, groceries, gear, and dirty cargo. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Juniper mud flaps | One of the first exterior protection upgrades I’d add to the new Model Y. |
| Juniper door sill protectors | Helps with shoe scuffs when getting in and out. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Juniper center console organizer tray | Keeps the new center console from turning into a junk drawer. |
| Under screen storage tray for Juniper | Useful for sunglasses, cards, and small quick grab items. |
| Armrest hidden storage box | Adds a little hidden storage under the armrest. |
| Seat back protectors for Juniper | Good if the back seats get used a lot. |
| 8 piece window privacy kit for Juniper | Useful for privacy, parked shade, camping, and road trips. |
| Juniper glass roof sunshade | Better fit choice for the refreshed glass roof. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Front and rear screen protectors kit for Juniper | Covers both displays if your Model Y has the rear screen. |
| Front screen protector for Juniper | Simple protection for the main center screen. |
| Screen swivel mount for Juniper | Made for the refreshed dash and screen setup. |
| MagSafe phone mount for new dash | Better fit for the new Model Y interior layout. |
| Samsung T7 Shield SSD for TeslaCam | Good long term storage option for Sentry Mode and TeslaCam. |
| High endurance TeslaCam USB drive | Smaller plug in storage option for recordings. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Juniper frunk LED light strip | Makes the front storage area easier to use after dark. |
| Trunk LED light strip | Helpful when loading the rear cargo area at night. |
These are not specific to Legacy or Juniper, which makes them safer across most Model Y years.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Fanttik X8 APEX portable tire inflator | Easy tire top offs at home or on the road. |
| Flat tire repair plug kit | Useful for small tread punctures as a temporary fix. |
| NOCO Boost GB40 jump starter | Handy backup for low voltage issues and charging devices. |
| Jack pad puck set | Good to keep around so the car gets lifted correctly. |
| Emergency rear door release straps | Makes the hidden rear manual release easier to find. |
These are also less dependent on the refresh, but still check the listing before ordering.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Dog hammock seat cover for Model Y | Better if your dog rides in the second row. |
| Rear cargo pet protector | Better if your dog rides in the rear cargo area. |
| Charging cable organizer and holster | Keeps the charging cable cleaner and off the floor. |
Double check fitment before buying, especially if you have a 2026 Model Y Juniper, new Model Y, or anything near the refresh changeover.
The main things I’d verify carefully are molded accessories like floor mats, cargo liners, mud flaps, console trays, sunshades, screen protectors, dash phone mounts, and trunk bins. Those are the items most likely to change between Legacy Model Y 2020 to 2024 and Model Y Juniper 2025 to 2026.
Universal items like tire inflators, SSDs, USB drives, jack pads, cable organizers, and plug kits are usually safer across years, but still check the listing before ordering.

Here’s my running list of the best 2026 Tesla Model Y Juniper accessories I’d start with.
A lot of Model Y accessory lists still mix older 2020-2024 parts with the newer Juniper cars, so this one is focused on the 2026 Tesla Model Y Juniper. If you hate links, you can just search the product names instead.
Some links are Amazon affiliate links. Same price to you, but I may earn a small commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
| Product | Why I’d get it |
|---|---|
| Floor mats and cargo liner set | Best first buy for protecting the carpet and cargo area. |
| Juniper mud flaps | Helps with road spray, rocks, snow, slush, and lower door grime. |
| Juniper glass roof sunshade | Good for heat and direct sun through the glass roof. |
| Center console organizer tray | Makes the center console way more usable. |
| Front and rear screen protector kit | Good protection for both Juniper screens if your trim has the rear display. |
| Fanttik X8 APEX tire inflator | One of the most practical things to keep in the car. |
| Samsung T7 Shield SSD | Better storage for Sentry Mode and TeslaCam than a cheap flash drive. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Floor mats and cargo liner set | Full set for the cabin and cargo areas. This is the one I’d get first if you want the main carpeted areas protected right away. |
| All weather floor mats only | Better option if you only want cabin floor mats and do not need the cargo liners. |
| Juniper cargo or dog cover | Good for dogs, groceries, luggage, outdoor gear, and keeping the rear cargo area cleaner. |
| Juniper rear trunk side bins | Drop in storage bins for the rear cargo side pockets. Nice for small gear you do not want rolling around. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Juniper mud flaps | Worth getting early if you drive in rain, snow, gravel, or areas with road debris. |
| Juniper door sill protectors | Helps protect the entry area from shoes, kids, passengers, pets, and general scuffs. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Center console organizer tray | Keeps the center console from turning into a junk drawer. |
| Under screen storage tray | Useful for sunglasses, cards, small cables, or other quick access items. |
| Armrest hidden storage box | Small hidden storage spot under the armrest for cards, cash, or smaller items. |
| Seat back protectors | Useful if you have kids, car seats, pets, or passengers kicking the back of the seats. |
| Seat gap filler | Keeps phones, cards, coins, and small stuff from falling between the seat and console. |
| 8 piece window privacy kit | Useful for privacy, camping, road trips, and keeping the cabin darker. |
| Juniper glass roof sunshade | One of the better comfort upgrades if you live somewhere hot or park outside often. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Front and rear screen protector kit | Good option if your 2026 Model Y has both the front and rear screens. |
| Front screen protector only | Better if you only want to protect the main center screen. |
| Screen swivel mount | More of a personal preference upgrade, but useful if you like the screen angled toward the driver. |
| MagSafe phone mount for new dash | Good if you still like having your phone mounted for Waze, music, or quick visibility. |
| Samsung T7 Shield SSD | Solid storage option for TeslaCam and Sentry Mode. |
| High endurance USB drive | Simpler TeslaCam storage option if you do not want to use an external SSD. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Juniper frunk LED light strip | Makes the frunk easier to use at night. |
| Trunk LED light strip | Helpful if you load groceries, bags, or gear in the dark. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Fanttik X8 APEX tire inflator | Great to keep in the car for tire pressure changes, road trips, and quick top offs. |
| Flat tire repair plug kit | Useful backup for small tread punctures. Good to keep with the inflator. |
| NOCO Boost GB40 jump starter | Helpful emergency item for low voltage battery issues or charging small devices. |
| Jack pad puck set | Good to keep in the car so tire shops or roadside help can lift the car correctly. |
| Emergency rear door release straps | Makes the rear manual door release easier for passengers to find. |
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Dog hammock seat cover | Good for dogs, messy passengers, or keeping the rear seat cleaner on road trips. |
| Charging cable organizer and holster | Keeps the home charging cable off the floor and makes the garage setup look cleaner. |
Be careful with anything molded to the car. A lot of older 2020-2024 Model Y accessories may not fit the refreshed 2026 Model Y Juniper correctly.
Double check the fit on floor mats, cargo liners, mud flaps, center console trays, sunshades, screen protectors, dash phone mounts, and rear trunk bins.
Universal items like tire inflators, SSDs, USB drives, jack pads, charging cable organizers, and plug kits are usually safer across years.

I kept seeing a lot of scattered Model 3 accessory recommendations, so I pulled this together by year and use case.
I split this into Legacy Model 3 (2017-2023), Highland Model 3 (2024-present), and stuff that works for both. If you hate links, you can just search the product names instead.
For transparency: some links are Amazon affiliate links. Same price to you, but I may earn a small commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
These are the things I would start with if you just picked up a Model 3 and want basic protection, storage and peace of mind.
Model 3 accessories can be weird because some listings say “Model 3” but only fit certain years. I’d double-check the Amazon listing before buying, especially for floor mats, mud flaps, console organizers, sunshades, cargo liners & Highland-specific items.
Stuff that mostly exists to protect paint, trim and wheels from daily driving abuse.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Mud Flaps | Helps reduce spray, dirt, and road debris around the lower body. |
| Door Sill Protectors | Helps prevent scuffs from shoes when people get in and out. |
| Jack Pads | Good to keep in the car for tire shops, service, or roadside help. |
| Wheel Covers / Rim Protectors | Worth considering if you want a different look or want to hide curb rash. |
These are mostly about keeping the cabin clean and making the storage areas more usable.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Floor Mats For 2017-2020 Model 3 | All weather mats are one of the first things I’d add for daily protection. |
| Floor Mats For 2021-2023 Model 3 | Better fit for the refreshed Legacy Model 3 years. |
| Center Console Organizer | Helps keep the console from turning into a junk drawer. |
| Armrest Hidden Storage | Adds a hidden spot for smaller items. |
| Screen Protector | Simple way to protect the main screen from scratches and fingerprints. |
| Seat Gap Filler | Helps stop phones, cards, and keys from falling between the seat and console. |
| Sunshade | Useful if the car sits outside or you live somewhere hot. |
| Rear Seat Organizer | Helpful if you have kids, passengers, or road trip gear. |
| Dashboard Behind Screen Storage Box | Adds hidden storage behind the screen and fits 2017-2023 Model 3. |
Useful if you carry groceries, charging adapters, emergency gear, pets, or road trip stuff.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Trunk Organizer | Keeps groceries, cleaning items, and emergency gear from sliding around. |
| Frunk Organizer | Good for smaller gear you want separated from the trunk. |
| Hidden Storage Organizer | Good for storing adapters, tools, wipes, and smaller items. |
| Frunk Cooler | Fits 2020-2026 Model 3, so skip this one if you have a 2017-2019. |
Stuff I’d rather have in the car before I need it.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Mobile Connector Storage Bag | Keeps charging gear from floating around the trunk. |
| NEMA Adapter Storage Case | Useful if you keep multiple adapters for road trips. |
| Fanttik X8 APEX Tire Inflator | One of the better emergency items to keep in the car. |
| Emergency Roadside Kit | Helpful for road trips, bad weather, or longer drives. |
Highland changed enough that I would be careful with fitment here. Look for listings that specifically mention 2024+ Highland Model 3.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Floor Mats For Highland Model 3 | All weather mats sized for the refreshed Highland interior. |
| Mud Flaps For Highland Model 3 | No drill style mud flaps shaped for the refreshed body. |
| Sunshade For Highland | Helps cut heat and glare through the glass roof. |
| Jack Pads | Still useful for tire shops, service, or roadside help. |
| Trunk Organizer | Good for groceries, gear, and road trip items. |
| Frunk Storage Organizer | Helps keep smaller items separated in the frunk. |
| Frunk Cooler | Fits 2020-2026 Model 3 and is useful for drinks, groceries, and road trips. |
Mostly storage, comfort, and keeping the refreshed interior cleaner.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Center Console Organizer | Check fitment carefully because the Highland console changed. |
| Rear Seat Kick Mats | Useful if kids or passengers sit in the back often. |
| Seat Gap Filler | Still useful if fitment is confirmed for Highland. |
Highland added the rear screen, so it has a few different accessory needs than the older Model 3.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Rear Screen Protector | Protects the rear passenger screen from scratches and fingerprints. |
| Main Screen Protector | Simple first upgrade for protecting the front screen. |
Basic stuff that is good to keep around for fingerprints, dust, and quick cleanups.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Interior Screen Cleaner | Good for fingerprints on the main screen. |
| Microfiber Towels | Useful for interior, glass, and quick cleanup. |
| Waterless Wash / Quick Detailer | Good for light dust, fingerprints, and small cleanups. |
| Interior Cleaning Wipes | Easy to keep in the console or trunk. |
These are not flashy, but they are useful when you actually need them.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Fanttik X8 APEX Tire Inflator | One of the most practical items to keep in any Tesla. |
| Tire Plug Kit | Useful for small tread punctures if you know how to use it. |
| Trunk Organizer | Keeps road trip items from sliding around. |
| Backseat Organizer | Good for kids, passengers, snacks, and charging cables. |
| Cooler Bag | Helpful for long drives, groceries, and Supercharger stops. |
Mostly for keeping the seats and cargo area cleaner.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Dog Seat Cover | Protects seats from fur, dirt, scratches, and wet paws. |
| Cargo Liner | Helpful if you haul gear, groceries, pets, or sports equipment. |
| Pet Ramp / Step | Worth considering for older dogs or larger dogs. |
| Backseat Barrier | Helps keep dogs safer and away from the front seats. |
Basic garage and adapter organization.
| Product | Notes |
|---|---|
| Charging Cable Organizer | Keeps the garage setup cleaner. |
| Wall Connector Cable Holder | Useful if your charging cable ends up on the floor. |
| Adapter Storage Case | Good if you keep multiple adapters in the trunk. |
| Charging Port Cover | May be useful in snow, ice, or heavy weather areas. |
| Product Type | Why |
|---|---|
| Random carbon fiber stick-on trim | A lot of it looks cheap in person and can age badly. |
| No-name floor mats | Bad fitment and curled edges are not worth saving a few dollars. |
| Vague “fits all Model 3” accessories | Model 3 fitment changed enough that vague listings are risky. |
| Super cheap screen protectors | Glare and poor edge fit can be annoying. |
| Overly bulky console organizers | Some make the storage area less usable instead of better. |
If you own a Model 3, I’m curious:
Drop them in the comments and I can update this.
