Must-have interior accessories for a new Subaru Solterra owner?

Question

So i finally got my Solterra last Tuesday and honestly im already kinda losing my mind with how quickly the interior is getting trashed. I love the car but man Subaru really dropped the ball on the piano black finish around the shifter its like a magnet for every single piece of dust and fingerprint in the universe and i havent even had it a week yet. Its driving me crazy looking at it under the sunlight. Also the storage situation is just weird? There is that big open space underneath the console but everything just slides around down there whenever i take a turn or hit a bump. Im really frustrated because i spent a lot of money on this thing and it already feels messy and cluttered and i just want it to stay nice since i live in Washington and the rain means mud is getting everywhere.

I need to find some solid interior upgrades like ASAP before the winter really hits and things get even worse. Here is what i am looking for:

floor mats that actually fit and dont look like cheap rubber but can handle mud

some kind of cover or wrap for that shiny black plastic so i dont have to wipe it every 5 minutes

organizers for that weird bridge console thing underneath so my sunglasses and chargers arent flying everywhere

seat covers that dont look tacky because i have a golden retriever who thinks the back seat is his personal mud pit

Budget is around 400 bucks for now but i can go a bit higher if the quality is actually there. I really want stuff that looks like it belongs in the car not some cheap universal junk from amazon that smells like chemicals for three weeks. Does anyone actually make stuff specifically for the Solterra yet or am i stuck using bZ4X parts? I heard they are basically the same car but i dont want to order something and have it not fit right because of some tiny detail. Its just so annoying having a brand new electric car that feels like a disaster zone already... what are you guys using to keep things organized and clean?

I've tried both vinyl and hard shells for that trim. The Yidatun Carbon Fiber Center Console Cover for Subaru Solterra is better than a wrap because it wont peel, though it only comes in one finish. For the dog, Meadowlark Dog Seat Cover for SUV beats basic hammocks since its waterproof and stays anchored, though it takes longer to install. bZ4X parts are a 1:1 match... dont stress the fitment.

Late to this but be careful with moisture trapping in Washington. I found cheap covers often cause mildew issues. The WeatherTech FloorLiner HP for Subaru Solterra is a better bet because the TPE material is more stable. Precise fit. Also, look at Covercraft SeatSaver Custom Seat Covers for Subaru Solterra. They use a breathable polycotton that lets upholstery dry out after a rainy dog walk. It wont smell like chemicals.

I would suggest the TuxMat Floor Mats for Subaru Solterra for mud protection. You might want to consider the Musology Console Organizer Tray for Subaru Solterra for that bridge console area.
