Why Every Tesla Owner Needs a Matte Screen Protector (Cybertruck, Model 3 & Y Review)
If you're picking up a brand new Tesla—whether it's a Cybertruck, Model 3, or Model Y—one of the first accessories I always recommend is a high-quality screen protector. And not just any screen protector: go for the matte version. I've tested both types, and the matte one wins hands down for everyday use.
The Fingerprint Problem Every Tesla Driver Faces
Tesla's massive central touchscreen is one of the best features of these vehicles, but it also attracts fingerprints like a magnet. Glossy protectors (and the bare screen) show every smudge, making the display look dirty even after a quick wipe. That's where matte screen protectors shine.

My Hands-On Experience with Joa's Matte Screen Protector
Shoutout to the team at Joa for hooking me up with their premium matte screen protector kit for the Tesla Cybertruck. Installation was a breeze—super easy and foolproof, even for the larger Cybertruck screen. I've also slapped these on my previous Model 3 and Model Y, and they perform consistently across all models.
Here's what sets it apart:
- Fingerprint Resistance: Check this out—I pressed my finger right on the screen, and you barely see it! No more distracting smudges during navigation or streaming.
- Crystal Clear Visibility: Doesn't compromise on clarity. The matte texture reduces glare too, perfect for sunny drives.
- Full Kit Included: Comes with everything you need—protector, applicator tools, cleaning wipes—for a bubble-free install.
They even included a rear screen protector for the Cybertruck, which I'll be installing soon.
Glossy vs. Matte: Why I Only Recommend Matte
| Feature | Glossy Protector | Matte Protector |
|---|---|---|
| Fingerprint Visibility | High | Low |
| Glare Reduction | Poor | Excellent |
| Install Ease | Easy | Super Easy |
| Clarity | Good | Great |
Glossy might look shinier at first, but matte is the practical choice for real-world Tesla life.
