Must-Have Accessories for Your 2026 Tesla Model Y: An Install & Review Guide
Hello everyone! With a brand new 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range now in the garage, it’s time to dive into the world of essential accessories. As many of you know, the BMW is gone, and the focus has shifted to enhancing this sleek new electric vehicle.
Today, we’re taking a look at a collection of accessories, mostly sourced from Amazon, that are designed to protect, organize, and personalize your Model Y. While this isn’t a sponsored video, I’ll be sharing my honest thoughts and providing links for anything you might want to pick up for your own Tesla.

So, without further ado, let’s explore these must-have additions for the 2026 Tesla Model Y.
1. Leather Shield Ceramic Leather Coating (for White Seats)
Purpose: To protect the pristine white seats of the Tesla Model Y. Details: This is a ceramic leather coating specifically chosen for its protective qualities. The reviewer purchased it based on “really good reviews” and plans to provide a long-term assessment of its worth. Ceramic coatings are known for providing a durable, microscopic barrier against spills, stains, UV rays, and general wear, making maintenance easier and preserving the leather’s appearance.
2. Performance Pedal Set
Purpose: To add a sporty, performance-oriented aesthetic to the pedals. Details: These pedals are designed to resemble those found in the Tesla Performance model. The installation for the accelerator pedal appears to be a simple clip-on process, resulting in a “nice, satisfying click” and a significantly “nicer” look. The brake pedal requires removing the original rubber padding, which can be “a little bit of a pain,” but then clips on securely. This is a quick and impactful visual upgrade.
3. 4-Piece Center Console Organizer Tray
Purpose: To bring much-needed organization to the Tesla’s center console. Details: This comprehensive set includes four distinct pieces: * A main organizer tray that opens. * A piece designed to go behind the center console, potentially for credit card storage. * A small center insert for the cup holders, noted for being “pretty good and easy to clean in case you spill something.” * Two larger trays, which are silicone on top of a plastic base, offering sturdiness and removable silicone inserts for easy cleaning. The reviewer will assess their overall utility after installation.
4. Screen Protectors (for Front and Back Screens)
Purpose: To protect the vital touchscreens from scratches, smudges, and glare. Details: The kit includes screen protectors for both the large front multimedia display and the smaller rear screen. It comes with an installation kit, including cleaning wipes and dust absorber pads. The installation process involves cleaning the screen, peeling the protector, aligning it, pressing it down, and then pushing out any bubbles. The reviewer noted a bit of nervousness during this process, emphasizing the care needed.
5. Car Air Fresheners (Cologne-like Scent)
Purpose: To keep the car smelling fresh and pleasant. Details: These are small, hangable air fresheners with a “cologne-like” scent, specifically noted as resembling “1 Million” by Paco Rabanne. The reviewer expresses a strong liking for these, having used them in previous vehicles, and recommends them for their pleasant aroma.
6. Mud Flaps (by Reeva)
Purpose: To protect the car’s paintwork from mud, rocks, and road debris. Details: These mud flaps come in a box from a brand called “Reeva” (or similar). The kit includes a screwdriver and extra push pins, suggesting that the original pins might not accommodate the added thickness of the mud flaps. While the installation wasn’t fully demonstrated in the video (potentially reserved for a separate, more detailed video), mud flaps are generally considered essential for preventing paint damage, especially on vehicles with wider tires.
7. 3W Floor Mats (Laser Cut)
Purpose: All-weather protection for the vehicle’s interior floors. Details: These floor mats are already installed in the car and are highlighted for their “laser cut” precision, ensuring a “perfect fit.” The set provides extensive coverage for the front, back, trunk, and frunk (front trunk). The reviewer praises their quality, comparing them favorably to more expensive options. A notable feature is a slight opening around the edges, which means water could potentially get underneath, so users should be mindful that they are primarily for preventing scratches and keeping the interior tidy rather than creating a perfectly sealed waterproof layer.
8. Center Console Armrest Cover
Purpose: To protect the center console armrest and match the interior aesthetic. Details: This accessory, which was already installed, is designed to match the Tesla’s white seats, creating a cohesive look. It “fits pretty good” and “latches on just like so,” indicating an easy and secure attachment. It serves as a protective layer for the frequently used armrest area.
Installation Experience: User-Friendly Design
Despite the reviewer not being a “professional installer or customizer,” the overall installation experience for most accessories was described as “really easy,” taking “five maybe 10 minutes” for the entire process. A helpful aspect noted was the presence of QR codes on the product packaging, leading to “how-to installations” videos, which greatly assist users.
Overall Recommendation
Based on this comprehensive review and installation experience, these accessories from various brands (including 3W and those found on Amazon) come highly recommended for 2026 Tesla Model Y owners. They offer practical solutions for protection, organization, and aesthetic enhancement, making the ownership experience more enjoyable and preserving the vehicle’s interior.
