Just getting my Mach-E next week here in Portland and I am honestly stressed about the interior. My kids are professional mess-makers and with all the rain here I need protection fast. I looked at mats and I am stuck between WeatherTech and 3D MAXpider. People say the 3D ones look nicer but do they actually hold up to real mud? I also saw some screen protectors but heard they might cause glare issues. My budget is $400 max for everything.
What should I prioritize first before the kids ruin it...
Regarding what #3 said about "TuxMat has the best coverage for wet..."
Honestly, I was super disappointed with the 3D MAXpider KAGU All-Weather Custom Fit Floor Mat Black after a winter in the rain. Everyone says they look premium but that texture basically traps the mud in all the tiny grooves. I spent way too much time scrubbing them with a brush. If you want something that actually works for kids, stick with WeatherTech FloorLiner DigitalFit Black. They arent as pretty, but you can just spray them down and be done. I also tried a cheap console wrap that looked like trash within a month. Total waste of money. Here is what I would actually buy first:
Re: "Honestly, I was super disappointed with the 3D..."
TL;DR: TuxMat has the best coverage for wet climates, and a neoprene cover is the cheapest way to save the console. @Reply #2 - good point! Smooth mats are easier to wash, but I found TuxMat All-Weather Floor Mats for Ford Mustang Mach-E to be a better practical choice for Portland weather. They have much higher sidewalls than WeatherTech, so the carpet stays dry even with slushy boots. To stop the console scratches, I use the AOCOROE Center Console Armrest Cover for Mach-E. It is a simple neoprene sleeve that actually looks decent and stays put. If the screen glare is the main issue, look at The EV Shop Matte Screen Protector for Mustang Mach-E instead of glass ones. Total cost for this setup is around $310. I usually check the MachEForum wiki for fitment updates before buying anything new.
