TapTes Floor Mat Bundle + Frunk Mat
These all-weather floor mats are the best budget-friendly alternative to the popular 3DMaxpider mats. They’re made with a waterproof TPE material that is odorless and non-toxic. The mats are comfortable for long drives and have raised edges to protect from dirt and spills and are lightweight, making them easy to remove for cleaning.
You definitely want to protect the most important part of the interior which is the touchscreen, and this screen protector from Spigen is a must if you want to get a perfect fail-proof fit when installing it. It has a matte anti-glare finish with fingerprint resistance.
Center Console Trays
3-piece tray set comes with a center Console Tray, an Armrest Storage Box Tray, and an Armrest Hidden Storage Box for optimal organization for all the small items you keep in your car.
Moldable Glue
My preferred position for Autopilot/FSD is to put my hand at the bottom of the steering wheel on either side but doing this for long periods of time is uncomfortable on my finger because the inside of the wheel is sharp. This moldable glue smooths out the surface to make it comfortable.
Paint Protection Film
Since electric vehicles have very small grilles compared to gas cars, it leaves the front paint more susceptible to rock chips and paint damage so for both my Model 3 and Model Y I took them into a professional auto detailing shop to get PPF installed for long lasting paint protection.
Cable Holder/Organizer
This cable holder/organizer is more affordable than Tesla’s version and is easy to install. Use it to wrap the excess cable around and as a place to hold the charger for a more organized home charging setup.
Cleaning Kit
Biodegradable nontoxic cleaners from TesBros include exterior car wash shampoo, exterior waterless wash, glass cleaner, and all purpose interior cleaner which is safe to use on all Tesla surfaces/fabrics to keep your Tesla looking great.
Safety Tool
Model Y rear doors do not have an easily accessible manual door open latch like the front doors so in the case of an emergency with power loss you’ll want this Resqme 2-in-1 safety & survival tool that allows you to cut a jammed seatbelt and to break a side window.
Camera Covers
All Teslas have interior cabin cameras that are used for monitoring drivers for Full Self Driving, but if you don’t have FSD and want to maximize privacy then these camera covers allow you to quickly block/unblock the camera.
Sunshade
This has two layers of light blocking fabric for maximal light & heat insulation in hot weather and is custom fit for the Model 3/Y. It stays in place with a simple velcro strap and by flipping down the sun visors.
DeskWedge (10% discount code: SLYE)
Place this inside your steering wheel opening and it gives you a small sturdy surface that will allow you to type on a laptop. It also fits nicely into the center console area for storage when not in use.
Go20 Portable Cooler ($50 discount code AndyCooler)
This electric cooler can be plugged into a 12v socket and act as a mini fridge to keep things cold without ice. It has dual temperature controls, and it fits nicely in the Model Y sub trunk area so this is great if you camp or tailgate a lot.
Self Inflating Mattress ($10 discount code: AndySIM)
This was designed to fit the shape of the Model Y & can fit in the Model Y sub trunk area or frunk. It sleeps 2 adults, self-inflates in under 3 minutes, and comes with a rechargeable air pump to add extra air when inflating or to help deflate the mattress.

Tesmanian floor mats are probably the best Tesla floor mats for under $150. They are custom designed to maximize protection of the floors from spills, stains, dirt, snow, and more. They’re made of premium quality odorless material that’s BPA free, non-Toxic, and environmentally friendly. The mats are strong and durable in all weather conditions, and the best part is they’re very easy to clean with just a quick spray down from a hose.
The Model Y and newer Model 3s already have wireless charging, but the Jeda pad provides an upgraded wireless charging experience. It’s fast, has a grippy high-quality surface that’s resistant to scratches, and fits perfectly in the console area to provide vertical and horizontal charging for up to 3 devices. Jeda’s other product is a 6-in-1 USB hub that allows you to use up to six different devices for charging and data purposes. It has three front USB-A ports and two USB-C ports. One of the USB-A ports is located inside a special compartment with a magnetic lid to help hide your Dashcam Sentry Mode storage device which is a lifesaver if someone ever breaks into your Tesla they won’t be able to take the USB drive because they won’t be able to see it.
One of the first things you should get is a center console wrap. Like many Tesla owners, I’m not a fan of the glossy piano black surface of the center console. It’s a dust and fingerprint magnet so a quick and easy fix is to install a center console wrap. They come in many different finishes, but I prefer the plain matte black because it matches the rest of the black interior perfectly. With some patience you can install it in just a few minutes.
The touch screen is the brain of your Tesla so you need to protect it at all costs. This screen protector comes in two different options: a matte finish for reducing glare or crystal clear if you prefer to not alter the way the screen looks. I actually have the crystal clear version on my Model 3, but my buddy David has the matte anti-glare version on his Model Y. Either one you choose, it’s a must have for protection.
As much as I love Tesla’s 15” touch screen I still like to use my phone for certain things like Waze navigation and Spotify because Tesla’s Spotify app is still very lackluster. So in order to safely use my phone while driving I got this magnetic phone holder that mounts to the display using a non-residue adhesive, and it works pretty well. It comes with a slim magnet that sticks to the back of your phone case, and you can mount it vertically or horizontally. I mounted mine vertically, and it allows me to safely use my phone while driving instead of putting it down in the console area. And it does a good job at keeping the phone held securely in place without moving around even when turning and speeding up. It also really comes in handy if you drive Uber or Lyft.
Once you get your Model Y or Model 3 you’ll quickly realize that many of the passengers will be confused on how to open the door from the inside. These simple labels that show an open door icon will save you from having to explain which button to press to every single rider when they are getting out. I think Tesla is rumored to actually put these on their doors at some point, but for now these are a quick & easy fix.
This 303 protectant spray works wonders at giving your dash and glove box surfaces a nice smooth matte finish to help protect them from scratching or scuffing easily. It’s not made to remove scratches, but rather you should spray it on as a preventative measure. However, I did scratch my dash before putting this stuff on, and when I did put it on it helped clear the scratches almost completely.
If your Tesla isn’t extremely dirty I love to use this all-in-one waterless wash and wax kit from AeroCosmetics which comes with its own microfiber towels. This gives the car a very nice shine, and like the name suggests it doesn’t use any water. However, you can choose to use water with it if the car needs more of a deeper clean.
For cleaning the interior I use CarGuys Super Cleaner which is an all-purpose multi-surface cleaning spray that works great on pretty much the entire interior except for glass. But it’s great for cleaning all surfaces of the seats, the inside of the doors, along with the armrest surface and even the console wrap too. It comes with a microfiber cloth so you just spray it on the cloth then wipe down the interior. I keep this in my trunk for quick clean ups as well.
For cleaning the touch screen display David got this All-In-One Screen Cleaner tool that has a soft micro-fiber cleaning surface on all sides, but it also has an integrated spray so you can quickly spray and wipe to clean the screen. This is especially handy during these times of trying to stay as healthy as possible because the cleaning solution inside is anti-bacterial, and is fully compatible with screen protectors.
For the deepest clean I recommend either a 2-bucket car wash kit from Amazon or what I have which is a GreenWorks electric pressure washer. As long as it’s below 1900 PSI it should be safe to use on a car’s paint. I have the 1700 PSI model, but you can also get 1500 PSI. It comes with two different spray heads depending on your needs. I like to use the 40 degree head unless I have a lot of bugs to get off the front bumper then I’ll use the 20 degree head. It comes with its own soap applicator bottle which I fill up with this Karcher biodegradable wash and wax soap, and it does a pretty decent job for a touch-less wash while not harming the environment.
These cool puddle lights that illuminate the ground with the Tesla “T” logo when you open the car door at night. They come with a special wedge tool to assist with removal of factory lighting so anyone should be able to do it themselves.
This rear seat pet cover helps protect the seat and floor from pet damage and stains. It’s foldable and easily fits in any of the storage compartments in the Model Y, and it also fits the Model 3.
The Model Y tow hitch from Tesla can be a little expensive so if you want to save money and do the install yourself, you can get this tow hitch from Teslarati which is only around $320, and it comes with step by step instructions for installing it yourself. They also have one for the Model 3.
Neither the Model Y nor the Model 3 come with a spare tire so if you travel a lot you may want to get this spare tire kit by Modern Spare. It comes with a carrying case and all the tools you need to put the spare tire on if you ever find yourself needing one. They make them for the Model 3 and Model Y.
If you want some high quality air fresheners to keep your Tesla smelling good check out Scent Wedge. They’re made from real wood infused with all natural ingredients and fit perfectly in the vent area and offer some very nice refreshing scents. They recently just came out with a new product called Desk Wedge which is also made of wood and gives you a place to put your laptop or tablet when you’re parked so you can get some work done which comes in handy if you’re Supercharging. It also fits nicely into the center console area for storage.
Last but not least, if you want a nice foldable mattress for your Model 3 or Model Y check out TesMat. I don’t own one of these yet but I plan to get one soon. It’s the only one I’ve found that looks comfortable enough that also folds and fits into the sub trunk area. Definitely handy for camping.
For all you current & soon-to-be owners, these are my favorite accessories for the Tesla Model 3!
303 Protectant Spray (Amazon)
One of the first things you should do is protect the dash & glove box in your Model 3. These surfaces can scratch & scuff easily so I highly recommend this 303 protectant spray. I scratched my dash about a month after getting my car and after a lot of research I found this spray which cleared it up while giving the whole dash a nice protective smooth finish.
Webcam Covers (Amazon)
The Model 3 interior camera isn’t active at this time, but if you don’t want a camera on you at all times even if it is supposedly inactive, get some webcam covers. They’re affordable and go on easily so you can feel more at ease with your privacy, and when Tesla enables the camera in the future you can easily slide the cover to reveal the camera then slide it back as needed.
Jeda Wireless Charging Pad & USB Hub
The Jeda wireless charging pad lets you charge your phone without having to physically dock it onto a charging port. It has 3 areas that can wirelessly charge your phone: two portrait areas + a landscape area. It has a nice non-slip rubber surface. Jeda USB hub features two USB-A ports that the wireless charging pad plugs into and it also has two USB-C ports, but the best feature is the hidden compartment that has a USB port for your DashCam flash drive.
PNY Flash Drive (Amazon) or SanDisk SSD (Amazon)
For your DashCam, you want at least a 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive. This one is affordable and has worked perfectly since v10. It’s fast enough to record the Sentry Mode clips. Some people prefer an SSD for more storage and faster performance. This 500GB SanDisk SSD is the best value in my opinion. Either one that you choose will fit just fine in the Jeda USB hub compartment.
Screen Protector (Amazon)
I chose to get the HD clarity version screen protector for the 15” center display instead of the matte version. It’s easy to install and it’s hard to even notice that there’s a screen protector installed. My screen protector actually did its job. Something fell on my screen and luckily only damaged the screen protector and not my actual display.
Cordless Radar Detector (Amazon) + Mount (Amazon)
The Escort Solo S4 radar detector alerts me when police speed radars are nearby. Since getting this radar detector I haven’t gotten pulled over. I chose this because it’s wireless & runs off AA batteries which last quite a long time. I got this smartphone mount & turned it into a mount for my radar detector, and it works well. It stays tucked away behind the display.
Fat Gecko Camera Mount (Amazon)
This is how I film my videos in my Model 3. It’s a strong & sturdy camera mount that has dual suction cups and holds my GH5 paired with a fairly lens without any issues. If you have a lighter camera setup you can get this instead which is cheaper but doesn’t hold as much weight. But I’ve mounted my G85 camera on it and it worked just fine.
Tesla Stats app
If you have an Android or want a free alternative check out Tezlab but I chose Tesla Stats app because it was the only third party Tesla app that showed up. It gives you interesting data on your Model 3 including rated range estimates & driving efficiency. You can compare your stats with other Model 3 owners & view helpful charts about how much money you saved compared to driving a gas car. It also has some helpful things like showing if all the doors are closed.
ScentWedge(Use code “Slye” for 10% off)
This is an all-natural air freshener specifically made for the Model 3. I love that it’s not an overwhelming artificial fragrance. The item & aroma are both subtle. It fits nicely into the small gap on the dash so it’s very minimal and out of sight. All the ingredients are natural, sustainably sourced, and cruelty-free.
Oscar & Hamish Luggage
Premium luggage sets specifically designed for the Model 3. Hand made in England, and it fits the Model 3 frunk perfectly. They have a bag set for the frunk and a bag set for the lower compartment of the trunk. If you want spacious high quality bags designed specifically for the Model 3 frunk and trunk this is a good option.
Waterless Car Wash/Wax (Amazon)
This has a perfect 5-star rating on Amazon and was recommended to me by a fellow Tesla owner. The kit comes with everything you need including microfiber towels. You can use it with or without water. In less than 30 minutes you can have a clean & shiny Model 3.
Microfiber Bug Sponge (Amazon)
The Model 3 front end is a bug magnet. This Viking microfiber bug scrubber helps get the bugs off when washing the car. It has a mesh microfiber design that’s strong yet safe to use on the car’s clear coat. Plus it’s washable & reusable.
All Purpose Cleaner (Amazon)
CarGuys Super Cleaner is one of the best all-purpose cleaners and works great for the Model 3 interior. It can clean pretty much any surface except glass. You can use it on the dash, seats, steering wheel, middle console – almost anything inside the Model 3. It also comes with its own microfiber towel.
All-Weather Floor Mats (Amazon)
These ToughPro all-weather floor mats for under $100 will come in handy if you ever have passengers riding in your car. They are cut perfectly for the Model 3 and fit nicely on top of the existing floor mats or you can use them on their own if you’d like. They’re low maintenance & easy to clean.
Cordless Hand Vacuum (Amazon)
Another must-have for keeping the interior clean is a cordless hand vacuum. This rechargeable Black & Decker is very affordable and good enough for most car cleanups.
Matte Black Console Wrap (Amazon)
The Model 3 center console is extremely glossy & a fingerprint/dust magnet. To fix this I got this awesome DIY matte black console wrap kit. The install took about 1 hour and was fairly easy but it did take some patience. Totally worth it though and I love the way it looks and feels now.
Collapsible Sunshade (Amazon)
As an owner of a fully electric vehicle you’ll want to minimize battery usage and this foldable sunshade helps with that. It folds into a small circle & comes with a convenient holder. It blocks the heat from the sun which helps avoid battery drain from the fan kicking on.
Smart Home Lock (Amazon)
The August Smart Home Lock lets you turn your existing door lock into a “smart” lock. With the Model 3, your smartphone is basically your key so to get rid of your keys altogether you’ll want a smart home lock. This one has worked great for me. It has an app so you can lock/unlock your door via Bluetooth.
Bonus products for Aero wheel owners:
Aero Wheel Cap Kit
If your Model 3 has the standard 18″ wheels you’ll want the Tesla Aero wheel cap kit to show off the nice rims underneath.
Suction Cup (Amazon)
If you get the cap kit you’ll also want this suction cup. It helps tremendously when removing the center cap from your wheel when you want to put the Aeros back on.
Wheel Touch-up Paint (Amazon)
If you have the standard 18″ wheels at some point you’ll probably experience curb rash. For a quick fix get this Dupli-Color Dark Shadow Gray touch up paint. It matches the rim color almost perfectly. It’s not a complete 100% fix for curb rash but it does make it look way less noticeable.
