Tesla Model 3 Highland Accessories Review

After purchasing a Tesla Model 3 Highland, accessories would be a great way to upgrade your Model 3 interior. In the market, there are plenty of accessories available, including Tesla official products or other third-party brands.

Since getting my 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland, I've purchased several essential accessories that improve safety, driving comfort, and convenience. In this post, I'll share the products I bought along with my user experience and reviews.

Model 3 All-Weather Interior Liners

The Model 3 All-Weather Interior Liners are official Tesla accessories priced at $225 USD. The mats fit the car's interior perfectly and come with velcro strips on the underside, so there are virtually no sliding issues.

According to Tesla's specifications, these mats are made from 100% recyclable materials and are free of cadmium, lead, latex, and PVC. This is especially important for families with children or pets, as the absence of harmful heavy metals ensures everyone's safety. Additionally, since they're PVC-free, these floor mats have almost no odor, keeping the cabin air fresh and clean.

However, after using them for over couple month, I found they get dirty incredibly easily, every time you get in the car, footprints show up everywhere and are super noticeable. When you try to remove the mats for cleaning, the Velcro is so sticky that it actually separates from the mat and stays stuck to the carpet underneath.

Model 3 All-Weather Rear Trunk Liner

The Model 3 All-Weather Rear Trunk Liner is an official Tesla accessory priced at $125 USD. It uses the same material as the Interior Liners but doesn't come with Velcro strips.

The quality is great, but it's a bit pricey. When the trunk is full, it's difficult to lift the liner to access the rear storage well. I think it would be better if the mat had fold lines or creases to make opening the rear well easier.

Model 3 All-Weather Front Trunk and Rear Well Liner

All the All-Weather Mats are made from the same material. The Front Trunk Liner priced at $80 USD and the Rear Well Liner at $65 USD.

If you want all your mats to have the same material and consistent look, the official Tesla mats would be a good choice. Based on my friend's experience, third-party mats also offer excellent quality and are less expensive than Tesla's official ones.

Center Console Trays and Cupholder

The center console tray is one of the must-have accessories. I'd go for the Jowua center console tray instead of Tesla's official option. Tesla's official center console tray is made of flocked material, which is difficult to clean.

The Jowua center console tray and cupholder liners are made of silicone, so they're super easy to clean, just rinse with water. The tray's compartment design is way more practical than Tesla's official version, you can easily store coins or cards, and it's cheaper too.

Trunk Storage Bins

Trunk Storage Bins are a nice-to-have accessory, and I'd recommend going with third-party options. They're great for storing small items and come with a cover that matches Tesla's flocked material, making everything look more cohesive and tidy.

Mud Flaps

Mud flaps are essential accessories for me. They protect the Model 3's side paint from chips and scratches, even though many people skip them because they're worried about affecting the car's appearance.

Since mud flaps are consumable items that need replacing over time, I'd recommend going with third-party options, and they're much cheaper too. Tesla does sell official mud flaps, but they only offer front mud flaps for the Model 3 Highland.

Installing mud flaps is really easy. The Model 3 comes with the screw holes already there, so it's just a matter of screwing them in tight.

Projection Lights

Projection Lights are official Tesla accessories that project the TESLA onto the ground when you open the doors at night. It's one of those cool tech touches that adds a premium feel to your car.

Screen Protector

Screen protectors safeguard both the front and rear screens in your Tesla. I originally thought they weren't necessary since I figured I'd never scratch or bump the screens. But after going camping, I realized just how important screen protection really is. When camping, I often had to climb from the front seats to the back, and I kept accidentally hitting or scratching the screens.

Tyre Inflator

I always carry a tire inflator with me because it just makes me feel better about being on the road. I use an electric version for the car and a trusty manual pump for the bike.

For my Model 3, I'm using the Michelin programmable rapid tire inflator which I bought on Costco Taiwan Online. It runs off the car's 12V cigarette lighter and it pumps up tires very fast. Before heading out, I always make sure my Model 3's tire pressure is at Tesla's recommended 42 psi.

Wiper

Tesla's wipers are super annoying in light rain, so I swapped them out the same day I picked up my Model 3. Now I'm using Michelin HydroEdge wiper blades that I got from Costco Taiwan.

According to Tesla's official documentation, the Model 3 uses 26-inch and 19-inch wipers, but I found that 26-inch and 18-inch wipers actually fit better.
