Fitment nuance per vehicle
Tesla Model 3
The Model 3 is a saloon, not a hatch - the rear opening is small and the boot cannot swallow tall items even with the seats down, so a roof box or towbar-mounted carrier is often the right accessory rather than a boot organiser. The 2024 Highland refresh removed the indicator and gear stalks - all steering, wiper and gear controls sit on the wheel or the touchscreen, and universal steering-wheel accessories can obscure the capacitive indicator buttons.
Tesla Model Y
The Model Y has a 117 L frunk (front boot) plus a 117 L underfloor well behind the boot - accessory boot organisers sized to the visible floor completely miss both, so buy Model-Y-specific frunk and well liners to use that hidden capacity. All controls (including glovebox, wipers, mirrors) route through the central touchscreen; steering-wheel accessories with capacitive-blocking materials can trigger 'hands off' warnings.
