  1. 3W all-weather floor mats + cargo liner (Amazon): the 10-piece Juniper set. Mud, snow and spills start on day one. Driving a Model Y L? 3W’s new six-seater set sold out at launch; we’ll update when it’s back.

  2. REEVAA mud flaps (set of 4) (Amazon): front and rear, no drilling. More options in our exterior protection guide.
  3. Spigen vent MagSafe mount (Amazon): clip-on vent mount for the Juniper, Model Y L and Model 3 Highland. We use a MagBak, which sells only on its own site. Made for Juniper vents; not for the Performance trim.
  4. Spigen EZ Fit 16″ screen protector (Amazon): matte glass for 16″ screens (2026 Premium, Performance and Model Y L). Check which screen you have.
  5. Samsung T7 Shield portable SSD (1TB) (Amazon): a rugged drive for Sentry Mode and dashcam footage. USB-C, and it works with the factory port. Sentry storage guide. We use the 2TB (caught on a good deal), but the 1TB is plenty for most families.
  6. Spigen door pocket trash can (Amazon): a real bin that drops into the driver-side door pocket (Juniper Premium, Performance and Model Y L). Read our full review.
  7. Spigen console + armrest organizer (2-pack) (Amazon): one tray for the center console, one for the armrest bin. Fits Juniper Premium, Performance and Model Y L.
  8. Fanttik V8 Mate cordless vacuum (Fanttik) (also on Amazon): the one we use. Small enough to live in the car, with a hose for seat tracks and crumbs. (our review)
  9. Fanttik X9 APEX tire inflator (Fanttik) (also on Amazon): the Model Y has no spare tire.
  10. Rear air vent covers (2-pack) (Amazon): the ones we use. Mesh covers that snap over the rear floor vents so dropped Cheerios, crayons and small toys don’t end up inside. Universal fit for Model 3 and Model Y, 2019 to 2026. (our guide)

Bonus: Spigen lifting jack pads (4-pack + case) (Amazon): protect the car’s lift points when it goes on a jack or a shop lift. We keep ours in the sub-trunk, just in case.

Driving a Model 3? Most of this page is for the Model Y. See our Model 3 Highland accessories guide: 22 picks, each verified for the 2024+ Model 3.

How to use this list. These are the picks we’d start with. Our full guides label each one as owner-tested (we own it and use it in our own 2026 Model Y) or researched (vetted by specs and owner reports, not tested by us yet). We don’t show prices because they change, so check the current price when you click through. Not sure a pick fits your car? The 2025 and newer Juniper uses different parts than the 2020–2024 Model Y, so start with our fit finder.
