The Tesla winter mat isn\u2019t the one you use in July. Between snow stuck to your soles, road salt and meltwater building up, the original carpet quickly suffers, and the damp eventually causes the windows to mist up. Here\u2019s how to fit the floor and boot to get through the season unscathed.<\/p>\n

Tesla winter floor mats: why the carpet is no longer enough<\/h2>\n

Carpet absorbs moisture. Every journey leaves behind a bit of salt water that seeps in, doesn\u2019t dry properly in a car parked in the cold, and leaves white rings that are difficult to remove. Worse still, the trapped dampness evaporates into the cabin and causes the windscreen to mist up when you start the engine. A waterproof Tesla winter mat with raised edges keeps the water on the surface: you can empty it in ten seconds instead of letting it rot the floor.<\/p>\n

3D or PVC: two solutions to the same problem<\/h2>\n

The 3D mats for all generations of the Model Y<\/a> (\u20ac149.90) are moulded to the exact shape of the floor, with high edges that also cover the sides of the centre console. PVC mats for the Model Y (\u20ac109.90) offer a more economical, easy-to-rinse option. The 3D mats appeal to those who keep their cars for a long time, whilst the PVC ones suit those looking for a seasonal solution to be removed in the spring. In both cases, choose a model that secures to the anchor points: a mat that slips under the pedal poses a real risk, as highlighted by securite-routiere.gouv.fr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The boot: winter\u2019s forgotten space<\/h2>\n

Skis, boots, wet shopping bags: the boot gets just as wet as the passenger compartment. The full boot protection for the Model Y<\/a> (\u20ac64.90) covers the floor, sides and loading sill \u2013 the areas where salt causes the most damage. A simple tray isn\u2019t always enough: water seeps in through the sides and pools in the under-boot area, where it can remain for weeks without you noticing. Don\u2019t forget the front boot either \u2013 it\u2019s ideal for storing your ice scraper and gloves without getting the rest of the boot wet. You\u2019ll find our organisation tips in the article on Tesla Model Y storage solutions.<\/p>\n

Seats and bench: adding extra protection<\/h2>\n

Water doesn\u2019t stop at the floor: wet ski suits and coats can also leave marks on the upholstery. A waterproof cover on the front seats and a rear bench cover for children complement a well-chosen Tesla winter mat. For dogs returning from a walk in the snow, the same principle applies to the entire rear bench. Details of the options can be found in our article on Tesla seat covers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
