Guides

Answers, not a brochure

24 guides on the questions Model Y and Model 3 owners actually type into a search box — including the ones with answers a seller would rather you did not read.

Hands fitting an accessory inside a car cabin

The roundups on this site tell you what to buy. These guides tell you whether to buy at all, what the thing you are considering actually does, and what the seller is not going to volunteer. That is a deliberate split: a page whose job is to rank six products is the wrong place to explain that Tesla advises against putting a film on the touchscreen in the first place.

Three of them do more work than the rest. The screen protector warranty guide sets out Tesla's own documented position and what it means for a claim, because the honest answer to “should I fit one?” is not a product recommendation. The frunk dimensions page exists because the frunk changed shape between generations and nobody publishes the numbers in a form you can shop with. And the heat-reduction explainer unpacks where sunshade temperature claims come from, which matters because a figure measured on a dash surface in direct sun is not the same claim as a cabin air temperature and sellers rarely say which one they mean.

Where a guide has a product recommendation that genuinely follows from its advice, it carries one — after the section that establishes what to look for, never before. Where it does not, it does not. A page about fixing an under-seat vent rattle has nothing to sell you, and bolting a tenuous product onto it would cost more trust than the click is worth.

Just bought the car

What to buy in the first week, in order, for each generation — and what to skip until you have lived with the car for a month.

Mats and liners

Whether mats come with the car, what they cost, how to clean them, and whether mud flaps earn their place.

Sunshades and cabin heat

What a roof shade actually does to cabin temperature, how the heat numbers are arrived at, and how to fit one without a fight.

Screens and the warranty question

Tesla advises against touchscreen films. What that means in practice, and how to decide with the manufacturer's own position in front of you.

Console, frunk and storage

Real dimensions, what fits where, cup-holder inserts, under-seat space, and the rattle that is not a fault.

Living with it

Kids, a third row, and what happens when something does not fit and you need to send it back.

Buying for someone else

Written for the person who does not own the car and does not want to learn five generations of fitment before a birthday.

About this site

Do you get paid to recommend these products?

We earn a commission when you buy through a link here, and that is the site's only income. No brand pays to appear on this site, to rank higher once it does, or to have a downside removed from its review. Every pick carries at least one stated weakness for exactly that reason.

Have you used the products you recommend?

No, and we say so on every page. The specifications on this site are the manufacturer's own published claims, linked to the page they came from. Our scores are editorial judgments about fitment scope, published materials and coverage breadth — not measurements. If that is not the kind of source you want, a hands-on review from someone who owns the part is a reasonable thing to go looking for, and we would rather tell you that than pretend.

Why is there no price on the page?

Because a price we copied down weeks ago is worse than no price at all — it is a number you might act on that is no longer true. Every buy button sends you to Amazon to see what the product costs right now. When live price data is switched on for this site, figures will appear alongside the date they were checked, and anything older than 48 hours will disappear by itself.

Why only the Model Y and Model 3?

Because the depth is the point. Covering two cars across five generations is what makes it possible to tell you that a 2025 Model Y Performance takes a 16-inch screen protector while a 2025 Model Y RWD takes a 15.4-inch one. A site covering every EV on sale cannot hold that level of detail, which is why most of them say “fits Tesla Model Y” and leave you to find out.

A guide here is out of date. What now?

Email us and we will fix it. These cars change without announcement, and a page that was right in October can be wrong by March. Each page carries the date it was last reviewed so you can judge for yourself how current it is, and corrections from owners are the most useful mail we get.
