Why 3W Floor Mats Beat Tesla OEM for Model Y: A Side-by-Side Comparison
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you've been following my channel, you know I'm a huge fan of 3W all-weather floor mats. I've got them in my Model Y, Model X, Cybertruck, and even my old Model 3. They're available for all Tesla models, and today, I'm diving deep into why I always go with 3W over the official Tesla OEM mats. We'll unbox, compare, and I'll even share a special giveaway at the end. Let's get into it!
Unboxing the 3W Standard and Pro Versions
First up, let's talk packaging. The 3W boxes are sturdy with handles for easy carrying, and they're wrapped well to protect against shipping damage. Inside, you'll find thoughtful extras like an air freshener and an installation guide – nice touches that show they care.
The standard version covers the first and second rows. It's compact, flexible, and made from high-quality TPE material. The raised edges are a standout feature, especially how they extend under the seats to capture more dirt and spills. The second-row mat has particularly high sides for maximum protection.
Now, the Pro version takes it up a notch. For a bit more, you get a full set including driver and passenger mats with kick plates, second-row mat, trunk mat, frunk mat, under-trunk storage mat, and even a back seat protector. The design integrates a subtle Model Y logo, and it's all about that premium fit and finish.

Comparing 3W to Tesla OEM Mats
Tesla's OEM all-weather mats cost around $240 for just three pieces: driver, passenger, and second row. They're nice, with a clean design and that iconic Tesla logo, but you're paying a premium "Tesla tax" for minimal extras.
Standard 3W vs. OEM
- Driver Side: The 3W has a grid pattern that traps dirt better, while the OEM's grooves might collect grime that's hard to clean.
- Passenger Side: 3W extends further under the seat, preventing debris from falling into hard-to-reach areas – the OEM cuts off short.
- Second Row: 3W offers more coverage and raised edges, going deeper under the seats. The OEM is simpler but less protective.
Overall, the 3W standard set feels more thoughtful and durable for everyday use.
Pro 3W vs. OEM
The Pro version is an even better match for OEM in design, with added kick plates and a sleeker look. But here's the kicker: For about $227 after my promo code (retail around $350), you get 10 pieces – including trunk, frunk, and protectors – versus Tesla's three for $240. That's insane value!
I've tested tons of brands like 3D Mats USA and Tasmanian, and 3W is hands-down the best for fit, quality, and price.
Installed and In Action
I already have the Pro set in my Model Y, and it fits perfectly. The kick plates protect against scuffs, the trunk mat handles Home Depot hauls without a hitch, and the back seat protector saves the upholstery when loading gear. No slipping, no gaps – just seamless protection.
