What Accessories Does the Tesla Model 3 Highland Actually Need? (Honest Owner's Answer)
The Tesla Model 3 Highland needs three accessories from day one: all-weather floor mats, a centre console organiser, and a cup holder insert. Beyond those, what you add depends on how you use the car. This is the honest answer from Tes Accessories, an Australian Tesla accessories retailer that tests every product on a real right-hand drive Highland before listing it.
Why Does the Tesla Model 3 Highland Need Different Accessories to the Pre-2024 Model 3?
The 2024 Highland is not just a refresh. Tesla redesigned the dashboard, the centre console, the armrest position, and the door trim. Almost every accessory designed for the 2019 to 2023 Model 3 does not fit the Highland correctly. Every product in the Tes Accessories range is verified for the 2024+ Highland specifically — not carried over from the old lineup.
- Pre-2024 floor mats leave gaps at the edges because the Highland's footwells are shaped differently
- Console organisers for the older Model 3 do not fit the Highland's wider, lower tray
- Armrest storage boxes from the pre-Highland era sit at the wrong height
Always confirm Highland or 2024+ compatibility before buying. Tes Accessories lists the exact model years on every product page.
What Are the Must-Have Tesla Model 3 Highland Accessories?
Three categories cover what the Highland genuinely needs on day one.
Floor protection
The Highland's carpet is light-coloured and shows dirt quickly. Australian conditions are particularly hard on unprotected carpet: gravel driveways, beach sand, muddy boots, and wet winters do real damage within months. The Tes Accessories TPE floor mats are the highest-impact first purchase for any Highland owner.
The 8-piece set ($270) covers front footwells, rear footwells, the centre tunnel, and the boot in one purchase. If you want to start smaller, the 6-piece set ($245) covers the interior cabin without the boot liner.
Custom-fit for the 2024+ Highland. Raised edges, hydrophobic TPE, covers front, rear, tunnel, and boot.

Centre console organisation
The Highland's lower console area is minimal by design. The result looks clean but leaves gaps in daily-use storage. Two Tes Accessories products address this directly: the armrest privacy storage box ($44.95) and the centre console screen storage box with tissue holder ($62.51). If budget means picking one, start with the armrest box — higher-traffic spot, noticeably cheaper.
Adds a hidden, lined compartment in the armrest zone. Custom-fit for the 2024+ Highland console.

Cup holder grip
The Highland's cup holders have smooth sides. Taller water bottles and takeaway cups rattle and tip under cornering. The Tes Accessories silicone cup holder insert ($17.95) grips drinks from the inside, absorbs vibration, and fixes the problem permanently. Cheapest item on this page. Works from the first drive.
Stops bottles rattling and tipping. Silicone, vibration-absorbing, remove-and-rinse clean.

See the Products Before You Buy
A real look at how Tes Accessories products fit in the Highland's interior — because fitment is everything.
What Should You Add in the First Month?
Armrest protector ($34.95)
The Highland's armrest uses a soft-touch material that shows scuffs within months of daily use. The Tes Accessories armrest protector covers that surface before the damage starts. $34.95, installs in under 2 minutes. Waiting until wear appears means living with it or paying for a detailer to try to restore it.
Mud flaps ($53.62)
The Highland's wheel arch design throws spray and stone chips onto the lower body panels. The Tes Accessories dedicated TPE mud flaps intercept that before it reaches the paint. Worth adding early if you drive on gravel or park near construction sites.
Prevents scuffing on the Highland's soft-touch armrest before the damage starts. Custom-fit. Peel-and-stick install.

What Tesla Model 3 Highland Accessories Are Not Worth Buying?
Tes Accessories only lists products that fit correctly and solve real problems. Here is what we would tell you to skip.
- Universal floor mats: they will not reach the edges of the Highland's footwells. Not worth the savings.
- Third-party wireless chargers: the Highland has a built-in wireless charger. Aftermarket units add bulk without improving function.
- Seat covers for most owners: the Highland's seats are durable and wipe clean. Covers hide good factory material and are often uncomfortable. Only worth it if you have dogs or young children.
- Interior carbon fibre-look wraps: the Highland's interior is already well-designed. Most aftermarket wraps look cheap in person.
