Drive Like a Pro: The Top 10 Tesla Accessories Every Owner Needs

Tesla has earned its place in the automotive industry and the electric vehicle (EV) segment with a strong lineup of sedans, SUVs, and the notorious Cybertruck. While the technological advancements many Teslas come equipped with enable owners to customize elements of their vehicles, branded accessories can personalize them even further. Yet, the best Tesla accessories go beyond just separating your Tesla from any other on the road. 

The guide below includes the top 10 Tesla accessories every owner needs, from a fitted camping mattress to fitted window shades that protect the interior. As you discover accessories you never knew you needed, don’t forget to add one critical element to your shopping list: a Drift luxury car freshener. Designed to elevate your Tesla’s interior and your senses, these deluxe car fresheners are a must-have accessory that’s well worth the investment. 

Behind-Screen Storage Tray

Regardless of the model, Teslas are known for their expansive infotainment screens, which control almost every aspect of the vehicle. Yet the space behind these large screens can feel wasted unless you install a storage tray that nestles between the dash and the screen back. Many of these trays are made from silicone and can easily be removed for cleaning. 

Tesla Floor Mats

Although Tesla incorporates numerous luxurious elements into the interior space, the carpeting is just as prone to wear and tear as any other vehicle. Protect your Tesla’s carpeting with floor mats designed for year-round use, from carpeted mats to hard plastic or rubber variants. If you want more coverage or customization than the factory floor mats, aftermarket floor mats can make all the difference. 

Premier Car Freshener 

What if you could infuse your Tesla with a premium scented car freshener that’s just as sustainable and eco-friendly? Drift luxury car fresheners feature alder wood, organic stone, and alloy metal infused with fragrance and essential oil blends. These formulations are free from phthalates, parabens, mineral oils, DEA, formaldehyde, petroleum, propylene, dichlorobenzene, and other harsh chemicals. 

In addition, Drift’s exclusive Wood, Stone, and Metal car fresheners are vegan, cruelty-free, and safe for kids and pets. Installing the Wood and Stone car fresheners is simple. Attach the provided visor clip to your driver or passenger visor, and magnetically attach the scent block to it to experience a refreshing scent for up to 30 days. 

Drift’s Metal car freshener attaches to any vent in your car and diffuses the premium scent through the circulating air. You can easily adjust the scent intensity using a sliding tab built into the freshener body. When it’s time to renew the scent, simply detach the metal cover, replace the scent block, reinstall the metal cover, and adjust your scent accordingly. 

Camping Mattress

Yes, you can purchase camping mattresses specifically designed to fit behind the front seats of any Tesla model. These contoured air mattresses fold up and store away until you’re ready to use them, making camping easier for those who can’t afford or don’t want to pull a fifth wheel. Plus, they’re a great way to enjoy the view out of the panoramic roof that Teslas are known for. 

Cybertruck Jumpseats

Whatever your feelings are about the Tesla Cybertruck, the fact is that you can now install two jumpseats onto the back tailgate. Though not necessarily safety rated—as they don’t include grab handles on either side or anything resembling a seatbelt—these jump seats are a must-have for loyal Tesla fans. When not in use, these jumpseats fold up into a suitcase-like footprint that can easily be stored in your garage or the back of the Cybertruck itself. 

Custom Pedal Covers

From the factory, Tesla’s gas and brake pedal covers aren’t necessarily anything to write home about. But with custom pedal covers, you can turn any drab set into a sleek and stylish accent. Most aftermarket pedal covers are made from metal but still feature raised rubber lines for maximum grip. 

Roof and Window Shades

It’s a perk and a curse that Teslas have so much window real estate, especially if you consider the panoramic roof the brand is known for. Roof and window shades ensure your Tesla’s interior doesn’t fade due to the sun’s damaging UV rays and keeps the interior cooler/warmer, depending on the season. If you plan on using the camping mattress we mentioned earlier, these sunshades are also an ideal way to establish some privacy as you catch a few winks. 

Center Console Organizer

A vast center console gives Tesla owners plenty of space to store everything they need, from gum and chapstick to pens, business cards, tissues, charging cables, and more. Aftermarket organizers make it easier to keep everything from piling up into a mess, so you can easily reach in and grab what you need. These organizers are also removable for easy cleaning in case something leaks or melts. 

Camping Tent

What could go better with a camping mattress in your Tesla than a corresponding camping tent? Designed to hug the rear of your Tesla and create a sort of glamping experience, these tents are perfect for spending time outdoors without getting too far away from modern creature comforts. Most Tesla camping tents are only big enough for one or two people, but they’re a must-have if you plan on taking your Tesla around the country. 

Tesla Roof Rack

Don’t let the panoramic roof fool you: Teslas are just as capable of carrying items on their roof as any other vehicle, and for that, you’ll need a set of roof racks. Depending on the design you choose, these roof racks can carry everything from a cargo box to a basket or a bicycle. If you own a Cybertruck, you can also equip the rear bed with roof racks to carry even more gear.
