Tesla Model 3 Highland Interior Setup Guide — The First 7 Accessories to Buy

Picked up your Tesla Model 3 Highland and wondering where to start with accessories? You're not alone — it's one of the most common questions we get at Tes Accessories. The Highland's completely redesigned interior looks and feels premium straight from the factory, but a few targeted additions from day one will keep it that way for years.

Here are the 7 accessories we recommend buying first — all Highland-specific fitment, all stocked in Melbourne.

1. All-Weather Floor Mats — Do This on Day One

The single most important purchase for any Highland owner. Tesla's stock carpet mats absorb water, trap dirt, and stain within weeks in Australian conditions. The Tesla Model 3 Highland 8-piece TPE floor mat set covers every footwell plus the full boot with laser-measured all-weather protection. Spills hose off in seconds — the carpet underneath stays factory-fresh.

Key thing: pre-Highland and Model Y mats will not fit the Highland's revised footwell geometry. Always confirm Highland-specific fitment before ordering.

2. Armrest Protector — The Armrest Wears Fast

The Highland's centre console armrest lid gets touched hundreds of times a day. Without protection, the leatherette shows wear within 3–6 months of daily use. The Tesla Model 3 Highland armrest protector wraps the lid in waterproof PU leatherette that installs tool-free in under two minutes. Peel off any time — the original surface is untouched.

3. Front Console Storage Box — Stop Things Sliding Around

The Highland's redesigned front console has an open tray that sends keys, cards, and lip balm across the cabin every time you corner. The Highland front console storage box is a Highland-specific ABS organiser with a silicone lining that keeps everything in place and silent. Generic Model 3 inserts don't fit the Highland's updated console geometry.

4. Cup Holder Insert — Stops the Rattle

The Highland's cup holders leave smaller cups wobbling. A custom Highland cup holder insert takes 30 seconds to drop in and eliminates rattles from any cup or can size. Lifts straight out for cleaning.

5. Armrest Privacy Storage Box — Hide Your Valuables

The Highland armrest privacy storage box drops under the centre console armrest to create a hidden compartment for your phone, wallet, and keys. Soft flocked interior prevents scratching and rattling.

6. Trunk Side Storage — Use the Dead Space

The Model 3 Highland boot has an unused recessed area beside the wheel well. The Highland trunk side storage organiser fills that space with a custom TPE compartment — available with a flat cover for a fully level boot floor.

7. Get All 7 in One Go — The Bundle

The Tesla Model 3 Must Have Bundle includes all 7 accessories for $430 — saving over $148 vs buying individually. Everything is Highland-specific, Aus-Stocked, and dispatched from Melbourne within 24 hours.
