SEMA Highlights: 3W Floor Mats and Tesla Talks with Industry Pros
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you caught my recent live stream from the SEMA show, you know it was a chill vibe packed with exciting reveals, industry chats, and even a giveaway tease. For those who missed it, I've got you covered with this blog post recapping the highlights. We're diving into the 3W All-Weather Floor Mat booth, some cool new products, and conversations with fellow Tesla enthusiasts. Let's jump in!
A Sneak Peek at SEMA and the 3W Booth
SEMA is always a blast, and this year was no exception. I streamed live from inside the convention center, giving you all a first look at the 3W booth. The connection was a bit spotty (convention centers, am I right?), but we powered through. The booth featured my red Tesla Model Y Launch Edition, decked out with Unplugged Performance UP05 wheels, a matte PPF wrap from FlexiShield, and tinted windows all around.
3W isn't just about floor mats anymore—they've expanded their lineup with innovative accessories that make perfect sense for Tesla owners. I walked around the booth, showcasing everything from their classic all-weather mats to brand-new additions. And yes, I mentioned the promo code Dennis35 for 35% off—because who doesn't love a deal?
New Products from 3W: Beyond the Basics
3W has leveled up! Their Pro Edition floor mats now come in fresh colors and designs, like a motorsport-inspired black with yellow striping or vibrant green and purple options with metal plates for that premium feel. These aren't just stuck-on details; the accents are molded right in for durability.
But the real stars? The new accessories:
- Door Sill Protectors: These three-piece protectors guard against scuffs and dirt, especially useful for off-roaders or anyone with messy passengers.
- Child Seat Mats: A genius under-seat mat to catch spills and crumbs—perfect for families.
- Trunk and Frunk Liners: Full coverage for the Model Y, including lower compartments.
They even have options for other vehicles like the Toyota Tacoma. Everything fits like OEM but with better value, lifetime warranties, and that all-weather TPU material. If you're shopping, hit up their site with my code for the full kit at OEM prices.
Oh, and they're teasing more colors (fingers crossed for red to match my Model Y) and even non-auto items like foldable chairs and picnic tables. 3W is branching out!
Chatting with Tesla Pros: G from DIY Rap Club and Josh from Cheap Teslas
The stream got even better with surprise guests dropping by.
First up was G from Tesbros, now rebranding to DIY Rap Club. We talked about their shift to broader vehicle coverage, including Rivian and Jeep Wrangler PPF kits. G shared why they're expanding: to capture the multi-vehicle owners in the Tesla community. He's even rocking a Jeep 4xe now! We geeked out over DIY paint protection film, colored wraps (Nardo Gray forever), and their templated kits that make installation a breeze. Pro tip: Their full matte stealth kits can save you thousands compared to shops.
Then, Josh from Cheap Teslas joined. (Fun fact: I bought my Model 3 from him!) We discussed the used Tesla market post-tax credit changes. Sales have slowed in the sub-$25K range, but higher-end models with warranties are holding strong. Josh is launching EV Parts Plug, a one-stop shop for EV mods, drawing from his background in performance parts. Expect discounts, custom builds, and eventually a showroom with installs.
These chats were gold—real insights into Tesla trends, like the Model Y Standard Range's reception and predictions for price drops.
Giveaway Tease and SEMA Vibes
To keep things fun, I promised a giveaway if we hit 50 likes: a set of 3W all-weather floor mats! We didn't quite reach it during the stream, but stay tuned to my channel for future giveaways. SEMA is massive—tires, wraps, off-road gear everywhere. I spotted cool booths like Tuli roof racks and Method Race Wheels nearby.
I'm selling my Launch Edition Model Y after the show (it's already spoken for) to make way for a Model Y Performance in Diamond Black. Decisions ahead: stealth wrap or glossy clear? Let me know in the comments!
