Carpet vs all weather floor mats, and which ones?

[The_Observer]

Hey guys/gals,

Had my Model 3 for a month now, totally forgot about floor mats and now it's getting a bit dirty. That being said, I live in SoCal, so it doesn't really rain too much, and I don't really plan to use it in the dirt often, should I still go ahead and order all weather floor mats anyway? Or would carpet ones be good enough? What do you guys think?

I have seen Maxpider all weather floor mats, they do look pretty nice for sure, but for that price... I am not too sure if that's worth it. Are there any lower cost alternatives that are just as good? Thanks all.

Carpet wears down and looks funky with age, so I like having mats. However, while it snows here, I didn't want my car looking like the wife's Subaru, so shied away from those super heavy duty, deep-sided ones and went with these from Evannex - EVANNEX All-Weather Floor Mats for Tesla Model 3 I like the look, and they're nice in the trunk/frunk too.

I bought and use the Maxspider rubber mats and use during winter. They are really nice and have a nice fit. But I live in an area with snow and ice and anymore folks use a literal mountain of salt on sidewalks even in the most modest of snow or icing events. The rubber mats handle this fine and are easily washed off. Then I switch back to the original carpet mats in summer once the salt has gone away.

I live in Los Angeles too, and don't like the look of all weather mats. I ordered these carpet mats on Amazon. They arrive later this week and I don't pick up y car until later today. I will let you know what I think when I get them.

These fit very well and have velcro on the bottom to keep them in place. Happy with this purchase.

When we headed into winter of 2018-2019, we bought the Tesla rubber mats. I took out the carpet ones that came with the car, and stored them in the flat box the rubber ones arrived in. And somehow we never got around to putting the carpet ones back for summer. So I guess I'm saying that we've been very happy with the Tesla mats, or else that I'm lazy and forgetful. They're definitely easier to clean--hose 'em down if they're bad enough (remove from car first!).

Just received a complete set of the weathertech mats front, second row and cargo trunk. Trunk mat is great, nice fit, but am not liking the mats. We're in Northern California and though it does rain, it's not epic. Thinking of returning them and ordering the replacement carpet mats that @schmluss noted above...
@schmluss are you still liking your mats? Thanks
Anyone else had that same inkling?

I bought a set of these. They look like the 3DMaxspider ones but not at that ripoff price. Overall pretty good.
