Thx! Here is the ebay link. Liked this style over the other options out there. Pretty quick delivery (~10 days)...
Aluminum Alloy Foot Rest Pedal Pad Non-Slip Non Drill for Tesla Model X | eBay
Had to do it....added the dead pedal also.
Is your mounting method to the carpet on the X there using the tape provided? Does it hold well? (On Model S there is a plastic piece there with same shape so easy to tape on). Looks nice!

"Performance Pedals" ???? That's funny. A real marketing term. I'm sure you get better "performance" with a different pedal
Actually, they're called Performance Pedals since the Performance version comes with them stock.
I added these pedals to my S, plus the spoiler, and the chrome inserts for both the frunk and trunk, R187 turbine rims, all of which are a replication of these things on the P version. Some people also buy the "P" decal to complete the non-Performance to performance upgrade but that goes too far for me -- then you do need an actual increase in performance to add that decal (at least without the embarrassment I would feel in adding it). All of these other things are just the "looks" side of the performance upgrade so they do relate to performance in that sense but not in relation to actual performance.

Yes. Mounted/secured with the supplied tape. Holds better than I thought. It's truly decorative and doesn't move. I also like it because the carpet will probably degrade/wear over time.
It's does look pretty cool...Thx

Very nice. The finish of the dead pedal looks different from the others. Is that simply due to the lighting?

I just did the install also using the top fit brand on amazon. Looks the same but the accelerator pedal has 5 rubber strips vs the 3 in the pic above.
Install is exactly as described previously. It was a complete pain in the butt but looks great.
I had sore finger tips for a few hours.
I thought the brake pedal was just as difficult to install as the accelerator, with the added butt spanking everytime you pushed down on the brake.

I actually got the accelerator in the first try, but the brake took forever
I loled so hard at this

I got mine in too! Did it all by myself, hubby’s job is to hold the door.
I think it helps to have small fingers. Took me around 10mins.
Brake pad- get top corners on first, then use both index fingers to really stretch the sides out as far as you can, move downward as you keep stretching then stretch some more as you go over bottom corners.
Acceleration pad- get top right and bottom right corners to fit snug first, with one hand hold down right bottom corner as you use another hand to stretch and fit left top corner, now you have 3 corners on use one hand to hold all 3 corners then use other hand to stretch and fit the last bottom left corner.
Hope this helps
My hands are not big but yeah, this was a bit of a pain and I was cursing under my breath, etc. to get it to fit right.
The door closing on me constantly didn't help either...lol. I should have had my wife around to keep the door open but as I mentioned, I actually installed mine on my own in the parking structure of a shopping mall because I was early for a dinner appointment. At one point I was frustrated enough to consider just not doing the install and doing it later at home but I already had the rubber brake cover off and decided to just power through it.
I think with the brake, it was getting that last corner in that was tough.
For the accelerator, I pretty much did as you wrote.
And maybe using a hair dryer would help. I have a heat gun at home but don't think you should use it as it will probably melt the rubber.

Isn't it obvious you got the performance model? Everyone knows 5 is better than 3.
Here is the official link to the manual for pedal installation.
I used a water based lube so it dries fast, do not buy something fancy just next to the condoms you can find the cheap brand x stuff

With the MX / Tesla sharing parts with Mercedes Benz, I was wondering if anyone can give me the relative dimensions of the these pedals and the pedals in the car w/o the covers. If they are the same, then the AMG one would be an awesome choice as well. I had a set on my C55 and have installed them for friends with C/E/S-Classes.
Check them out here on amazon via: http://amzn.to/2n9yFNj
The dimensions of the AMG style pedals are:
Gas Pedal: 5 33/64" x 1 31/32" (14cm x 5cm)
Brake Pedal : 3 5/32" x 4 23/32" (8cm x 12cm)

just installed this a couple of days ago.. it took literally 30 seconds per pedal.. here is the trick: hook the one side of the pedal cover, and use all your fingers and peel back the lip and put it around the pedal in one shot. putting one corner on and working your way around the pedal was not a good method in my opinion. I hooked the accelerator from the bottom, and the brake from the top. good luck all !!
