I finally got my delivery date for my new Tesla Model 3 Highland and I’m beyond excited! Since this refresh has some specific changes—like the new rear touchscreen and the lack of stalks—I want to make sure I have the right gear ready from day one. I’m already looking into all-weather floor mats and screen protectors for both the front and back displays, but I’m worried about buying stuff that only fits the older models. I want to keep the interior pristine right away. For those of you who already took delivery, which specific Highland-compatible accessories are actually worth the hype? What are your top 3 'must-buys' I should have waiting in my garage before pickup?
Seconding the recommendation for mud flaps above. This^ Also wanted to add some safety stuff cuz honestly, Tesla lets u down with what they include. I unfortunately had a scary experience with a shop almost denting my battery rail because I didnt have my own jack pads. Seriously, buy the Pigenius Tesla Model 3 Highland Jack Pad Adapters with Storage Case before ur first service. Also, since there is no spare tire, I highkey recommend the Tesla Tire Repair Kit for the sub-trunk. I actually had a flat 2 weeks in and it basically saved me from a long tow. Lastly, I'd swap the wipers for Rain-X Latitude Water Repellency Wiper Blades 26 Inch cuz the factory ones were kinda mid in heavy rain. TL;DR: Safety first! Get jack pads for battery protection, a tire repair kit, and better wipers
Sentry writes kill flash. I'm satisfied with:
1. SAMSUNG T7 Shield 1TB Portable SSD (Pros: IOPS/thermal) vs SanDisk 256GB High Endurance microSDXC (Pro: small).
2. Hansshow 2024 Model 3 Highland Mud Flaps.
Yo, congrats! honestly, these 3 are *essential* for a pristine Highland interior: 1. Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector for 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland Dashboard and Rear Touchscreen — helps with fingerprints.
2. 3D MAXpider KAGU All-Weather Floor Mats for 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland — fit is perfect.
3. Basenor Center Console Organizer Tray for 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland Tbh ur gonna need these day one... basically keeps things organized. good luck!
Similar situation here - I picked up my Highland a few weeks back and went through that exact same "everything must be protected" phase lol. I spent hours browsing forums cuz I was terrified of buying something that only fit the old 2023 models and wasting my money. Just sharing my experience: I almost pulled the trigger on some expensive seat covers, but then I realized the new seats have those cooling vents. I think... someone told me that if you block those, you might actually strain the ventilation fans? Not sure but it made me cautious enough to skip 'em for now. I've tried many different interior mods over the years with my older Teslas, and honestly, sometimes less is more when you want to keep that premium feel. I did end up getting a jack pad kit to keep in the sub-trunk though. In my experience, even some local shops can be a bit careless with the battery rails if they don't have the right pucks, so having my own set makes me feel way safer for future tire rotations. I also grabbed a simple silicone license plate frame because the metal-on-paint rattle from the trunk would've driven me crazy. It was basically a ten-dollar fix that saved my sanity. Iirc, the center console dimensions changed slightly too, so be careful with those "universal" trays. Anyway, it's a HUGE relief once you finally have it in your garage. Just watch out for sellers who just slap "2024" on old inventory... it's a total gamble sometimes. gl with the pickup!!
