1. Do You Actually Need Floor Mats for the Tesla Model 3 Highland?
Yes, and this is the one accessory that pays for itself fast. The Highland's interior is noticeably cleaner and more refined than the pre-refresh Model 3, and the factory carpet shows dirt quickly. Australian conditions make this worse: gravel driveways, beach sand, muddy dog paws, and wet winters do damage that a generic mat cannot stop.
The 8-piece TPE full set is the one to get. It covers front footwells, rear footwells, the centre tunnel, and the boot, with raised edges that contain spills rather than letting them seep into the carpet underneath. Tes Accessories carries both the 6-piece and 8-piece sets, both laser-scanned for the 2024+ Highland's exact dimensions.
- 3D laser-scanned for the Highland's exact footwell profile
- Raised lip retains spills and mud rather than letting them spread
- TPE material: hydrophobic, odourless, flexible at low temperatures
- Hose-clean in minutes
- Boot liner included in the 8-piece set
Worth it? Absolutely. The floor mats are the highest-impact first purchase for any Highland owner.
Complete all-weather coverage. Custom-fit for the 2024+ Highland. Aus-Stocked, dispatches from Melbourne.

2. Is the Armrest Storage Box Worth It for the Model 3 Highland?
The Highland redesigned the centre console, but left the armrest area with limited practical storage. The Tes Accessories armrest privacy storage box clips into that zone and adds a flocked-lined compartment for cards, coins, garage remotes, and anything else that currently disappears into the main tray.
- Custom-fit for the Highland console layout (not compatible with pre-2024 Model 3)
- Flocked interior lining protects items and stops rattling
- Hinged lid for privacy and security on corners
- Tool-free install in under 2 minutes
Worth it? Yes. At $44.95 it is one of the best-value upgrades in the Highland range.
Adds a hidden, lined compartment in the armrest zone. Custom-fit for the 2024+ Highland console.

3. Do Mud Flaps Make a Difference on the Tesla Model 3 Highland?
More than people expect. The Highland's aerodynamic wheel arch design throws road spray onto the sills and lower body panels. Mud flaps intercept that debris before it hits the paint. In Australia, stone chips from gravel roads and highway driving are a more pressing concern than road salt.
- Dedicated TPE moulding for the Highland's wheel arch profile
- Front and rear set in one purchase
- No drilling — clips to existing bolt points
- No measurable impact on range at highway speeds
Worth it? Yes if you drive on unsealed roads or park on gravel. Borderline in a purely urban setting, but at $53.62 it is easy to justify either way.
Dedicated fit for the Highland's wheel arches. No drilling. Protects lower panels from stone chips and spray.

4. What Does the Centre Console Screen Storage Box Actually Do?
The Highland moved several controls behind the touchscreen, which left the physical console space under the screen visible and frequently used. The Tes Accessories centre console screen storage box fills that space with a dual-function unit: storage below and a tissue holder built into the side.
- Clips in without adhesive
- Holds a standard travel tissue packet on the side
- Compatible with the wireless charging pad (does not block access)
- Matte black matches Highland interior trim
Worth it? Yes. It solves a real gap created by the Highland's redesigned lower console.
Turns dead under-screen space into functional storage. No adhesive, no drilling. Fits Model 3 Highland and Model Y Juniper.

5. Is an Armrest Protector Necessary on the Model 3 Highland?
The Highland's centre armrest uses a soft-touch material that looks excellent on day one and starts showing scuffs within a few months of regular use. The Tes Accessories armrest protector covers that surface before the damage starts. At $34.95 it costs less than a detail job to restore scuffed soft-touch trim.
- Custom-fit to the Highland armrest dimensions
- Peel-and-stick adhesive backing
- Machine washable
- Black finish matches factory trim
Worth it? Yes. Cover it in the first month before the wear starts.
Prevents scuffing on the Highland's soft-touch armrest. Custom-fit. Installs without tools.

6. How Useful Is the Trunk Side Storage Organizer?
The Model 3 Highland has a clean boot, but the side walls are effectively wasted space. The Tes Accessories trunk side storage organizer clips into that dead zone without adhesive and creates pockets for your EV charging cable, a first-aid kit, shopping bags, or anything else you carry regularly. It does not reduce boot floor space at all.
- Clips to existing boot trim. No permanent modification.
- Available with or without a cover
- ABS shell with fabric-lined pockets
- Left and right sides covered
Worth it? Yes if you regularly carry gear. Skip it if the boot is mostly empty.
7. Is the Cup Holder Insert Worth Buying for the Highland?
The easiest first purchase on the list. The Highland's cup holders have smooth sides, so taller bottles and takeaway cups rattle and tip on corners. The Tes Accessories silicone insert grips drinks from the inside and absorbs vibration. At $17.95, it is nearly risk-free to try.
- Fits standard water bottles, takeaway cups, and drink bottles
- Silicone: absorbs vibration, stops rattling
- Remove and rinse to clean
- Black to match Highland interior
Worth it? Yes. It is the cheapest item on this list and it fixes a daily annoyance.
Stops bottles rattling in the Highland's smooth-sided cup holders. Silicone, remove-and-rinse clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Tesla Model 3 Highland accessories the same as pre-2024 Model 3 accessories?
No. The Highland refresh (2024+) has a different interior layout, updated console structure, and a new armrest position. Accessories designed for the 2019 to 2023 Model 3 will not fit correctly. Always confirm Highland or 2024+ compatibility before you order.
Do aftermarket accessories void the Tesla warranty in Australia?
No. Under Australian Consumer Law, fitting reversible aftermarket accessories does not void your Tesla warranty. Every accessory sold by Tes Accessories is tool-free and leaves no permanent marks on the vehicle.
What is the first Tesla Model 3 Highland accessory I should buy?
Floor mats. They protect the most surface area, are the hardest damage to undo once the carpet is stained, and the 8-piece set covers everything from footwells to boot in one purchase. If budget is tight, start with the Tes Accessories 6-piece set ($245) and add a boot liner later.
Do Tes Accessories products fit right-hand drive Australian Model 3 Highland?
Yes. Every product in the Tes Accessories range is verified for Australian right-hand drive configuration before listing. If a product does not fit your exact model and year, Tes Accessories will replace it or refund it.
