This can't possibly be the way this is supposed to fit. 2023 Model 3 RWD

You are not the first one https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModel3/comments/1k5p1a6/the_frunk_all_weather_liner_isnt_supposed_to_look/

Maybe it’s for a Highlander version? I went with Weathertech this time. More $$$ but higher quality

CaliDude75 2026-01-12 22:27

Did you lay it out in the sun to soften up a little? I’d say if you (carefully) hit it with a heat gun, it might smooth out.

Heat gun wont fix this; you ordered the wrong one. Use the app/website and navigate over to the "2017-2023 | Model 3 All-Weather Front Trunk Liner" then note that there's a selection between "Front Trunk - Beaded Basin" and "Front Trunk - Smooth Basin". You want the smooth one. See pics on the listing that show the difference between the "Smooth basin" and "Beaded Basin".

They used to make the Tesla oem one I believe, don’t know if they still do

Make sure you search for the right year when buying aftermarket mats

Strong_Foundation227 2026-01-12 23:01

There can be only one.

dreadstardread 2026-01-12 23:03

Maybe you bought the version for the pre facelift Model 3 18-20.

Fantastic-Army-7671 2026-01-12 23:12

Is this the correct year? My old 2018 model 3 front mat didn’t fit in the frunk of my brothers 2023

Special-Ad-6555 2026-01-12 23:25

This is the way! Weathertech makes FANTASTIC products!

AlternatinCurrently 2026-01-12 23:35

Duncan, is that you?

xxtremlockxx 2026-01-12 23:39

Directly through Tesla, this is listed as the 2017-2023

xxtremlockxx 2026-01-12 23:40

Directly from Tesla listed as 2017-2023

xxtremlockxx 2026-01-12 23:40

Ahhhhh, that's it. Thank you!

Fantastic-Army-7671 2026-01-12 23:41

hmm weird, i had a carpet front mat, but im the frunks are different since the 2018 had hooks and the 2023 does not, so maybe the footprint of them is also different

Fantastic-Army-7671 2026-01-12 23:43

looking at the tesla webiste you need to select smooth basin or grooved, you must of selected the wrong one. They likely list it as 2018-2023 since they might of changed over mid year

csbsju_guyyy 2026-01-13 02:10

Yes there is a difference between the years, a blanket 2017-2023 will have fitment issues depending on which it was designed for

Legitimate_Manner641 2026-01-13 06:00

Exact same thing happened on my 2023 M3 P and I ordered it through the app through Tesla for my model year!

filmagnoli 2026-01-13 12:04

Ok, you need a hair dryer to get the material to relax and get to it’s intended form. Will take you about 5-10min most likely. They don’t usually ship them flat lol 😂 Good luck, I’ve done a number of them, you’ll be good to go in no time. Ah, read another comment below .. yes, if you ordered the wrong mat, then no, a heat gun or hair dryer will not fix the issue.

[deleted] 2026-01-13 13:24

Haha can I buy this one from u

xxtremlockxx 2026-01-13 19:08

Sorry, already did a return with Tesla

SuicideG-59 2026-01-14 03:05

Hey that's me lol. For a second there I thought OP was using my picture for this post 😂

Primary_Elk765 2026-01-14 16:35

The 2018 to 2020 frunk is a bit bigger than the 2021 and afterwards due to the lack of the heat pump. You're going to have to order from a different site to get the correct one.

Elon can't sell Tesla made in China here, but he sure can sell OEM mats made for the China Tesla here.

gre-0021 2026-01-15 07:36

You don’t say! I was under the impression it fit like a glove! No use trying to pull the wool over your eyes!

[deleted] 2026-01-15 09:54

Temu makes them better

Novel_Employer_1798 2026-01-15 16:33

Mine too!

Presence_Academic 2026-01-19 12:38

What about when ordering after market items other than mats?

CAMMARMANN 2026-01-26 21:20

Usually they are grouped in years like “2017-2021 model 3”and so on. Just search the year there’s slight changes on all the interior too.

Presence_Academic 2026-01-26 22:02

Problem is it was the OJ Simpson signature edition.
