Picking up a new Tesla is a great feeling. The cabin is clean, the screen looks huge, and for the first few days you probably want to keep everyting spotless.
Then real life starts. Coffee goes in the cupholder. Keys and cards disappear into the centre console. Shoes bring in water, salt, and dirt. None of this is a big problem, but a few simple accessories can make the car much easier to live with.
If you just bought a New Model Y or Model 3 Highland, these are the five upgrades we would start with.
1. Protect the screens before they get scratched
The centre screen gets touched all day. It picks up fingerprints quickly, and one small scratch can be hard to ignore once you notice it.
Our 15.4-inch Front & Rear Screen Protector Set includes clear tempered glass for both the front display and the rear passenger screen. It helps protect the glass without making the display look dull or changing how it feels to use.
This set is made for the New Model Y (2025+) and Model 3 Highland (2024+). Check your screen size before ordering, just to be sure.
2. Stop the centre console from becoming a junk drawer
Tesla gives you plenty of storage, but the deep centre console can get messy fast. Sunglasses, charging cables, coins, and parking cards all end up sitting on top of each other.
The Smoked Clear Console Organizer Set adds two fitted trays with black silicone liners. Small things stay seperated and easy to reach, while the larger space underneath is still available.
It is a small change, but it makes the whole front cabin feel more orgnaized.
3. Get floor mats that can handle bad weather
Factory carpet looks nice until the first rainy day. If you drive through snow, slush, sand, or road salt, fitted floor protection is one of the best early upgrades you can make.
For the New Model Y Juniper (2025+), take a look at the Model Y TPE + Carpet Floor Mat Set. Model 3 Highland owners can choose the Model 3 TPE + Carpet Floor Mat Set.
Both sets combine durable TPE trays with removable carpet layers. You get a clean look for normal driving, plus solid protection when the weather gets ugly. They are also much easier to clean than the carpet in the car.
4. Protect the trunk before the first big grocery run
The trunk and frunk are some of the most useful parts of a Tesla. They are also where wet bags, sports gear, groceries, and muddy shoes usually go.
The three-piece cargo mat sets cover the front trunk, rear trunk, and lower cargo storage area. Choose the Model Y Front & Rear Cargo Mat Set for the New Model Y Juniper, or the Model 3 Front & Rear Cargo Mat Set for Model 3 Highland.
It is much less stressful to load the car when you know the original surfaces are covered.
5. Put your phone where you can actually see it
The Tesla screen handles most driving tasks, but your phone is still useful for calls, music, parking apps, and quick stops.
The Magnetic Phone Mount with Dash Base keeps your phone in view without blocking the centre display. The fitted base looks tidy and does not feel like a random universal mount stuck to the car.
It works with the New Model Y (2025+) and Model 3 Highland (2024+), and it is one of those upgrades you end up using every day.
You do not need to buy everything on day one
Start with the parts that solve a real problem for you. If you park outside, floor and cargo mats may come first. If you drive with kids, screen protection and storage trays will probably save you more headaches. And if your console is already full of loose cables, you know what to fix.
The best Tesla accesories are not the flashy ones. They are the simple pieces that protect the car and make daily driving feel easier.
