Hey everyone! I just picked up my new 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland last week and I am absolutely loving the refreshed interior. The ambient lighting and the quieter ride are such a huge upgrade over the older models. However, I am already starting to get a bit nervous about those factory carpet mats. I live in an area where it rains quite a bit and I can already see some dirt and moisture starting to settle into the fibers after only a few days of driving.
I really want to find a solid set of all-weather floor mats that offer full coverage and protection without looking too industrial or out of place in such a modern cabin. I have heard through various groups that the floor dimensions for the Highland refresh are slightly different from the previous 2017-2023 generations, especially in the rear passenger area and around the driver-side dead pedal. I do not want to risk buying a generic set designed for the older Model 3 only to find out they do not sit flush or leave gaps where salt and mud can ruin the underlying carpet.
For those of you who have already taken delivery of your Highland, which floor mats did you end up choosing, and how is the actual fitment around the updated center console and the rear floor area?
Hello, you can take a look at this:
Sooo i remember when i first got into the EV world and just grabbed whatever was on sale... huge mistake. For your situation, i would suggest being super careful about those generic listings on Amazon. I actually tried fitting my old 2021 mats into a friends Highland just to see, and yeah, the dead pedal area is definitely different. If you want that sleek look without the rubbery odor, the 3D MAXpider Kagu All-Weather Floor Liners for 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland are basically the gold standard for fitment and they dont smell like a tire shop. But, since you mentioned heavy rain, you might want to consider the TuxMat All-Weather Floor Mats for 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland instead. They offer way more coverage up the sides - which is crucial cuz salt and liquid can easily creep under the edges of shorter mats. Just make sure whatever you buy explicitly says its for the 2024 refresh. Honestly, some brands are still clearing out old stock and pretending they fit perfectly... they really dont. Make sure to verify the return policy just in case! gl!
@Reply #3 - good point! Honestly that link is a decent starting spot but those Highland dimensions are really the tricky part. Just saw this thread and figured i would chime in since i spent way too long researching this last week. If you want reliability without overpaying, keep these in mind:
yo! congrats on the new highland. seriously, that refresh is so nice... i am lowkey jealous of that ambient lighting. i have been geeked out on the technical specs of the interior changes lately, and youre 100% right to be cautious about the fitment. its not just about aesthetics, its actually a safety thing. if you use mats designed for the 2017-2023 models, the area around the dead pedal wont sit flush, and that can lead to the mat bunching up or interfering with the pedals. definitely dont want that happening while youre on the road! for your budget and that modern look, i think the 3D MAXpider Kagu All-Weather Floor Mats for 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland is probably your best bet. what makes them cool from a technical standpoint is the three-layer construction. the bottom layer has this patented maxpider fiber that grips the carpet like velcro so they literally wont budge. they use XPE material which is way better than cheap rubber because it doesnt have that nasty smell when the cabin gets hot, and it handles spills like a champ. plus, they look more like a fabric texture than a utility truck mat. if you want absolute maximum coverage because of the rain, honestly check out the TuxMat for 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland. they have the highest side walls in the game. i mean, they basically cover every square inch of carpet. some people think they look a bit like a leather sofa, but for keeping mud and salt off your floor, they are top-tier. if those are too pricey for the full set, maybe look at LASFIT All-Weather Floor Mats for 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland as a decent middle-ground option. they are laser-measured specifically for the refreshed floor pan and rear seat rails. anyway, just make sure whatever you buy specifically says its for the highland refresh or 2024 model year specifically. gl with the new ride! peace
