Liners do - my rubber floor MATS do not cover the dead pedal area.

Dead pedal - dead in 2020
- Thread starter XLR82XS
- Start date
Most likely post-September production - begin 20MY production. I have a 2019 with a plastic dead pedal.
My car has a production stamp of 10/19, an MY19 vin number, and a dead pedal. It's possible at some point in the last couple of weeks they retooled the line to remove the dead pedal (and frunk hooks per another thread) to coincide with the shift in vin numbers that they don't advertise or price on, but is it likely?

Where? Where can I look at a 2020? Are you suggesting I drive over an hr and a half to look at an absent dead pedal? How about someone just posts a darn picture.
Here's a picture of the weather liners without the dead pedal, very sad:

I just took delivery of a new Model 3 last week. It is indeed a 2020. So much so that there was a discrepancy with the VIN (which resolved as a 2020 model on the insurance carrier system and the DMV) and Tesla's delivery paperwork which said 2019. They went and changed it. There is no dead pedal, just carpet and here is a picture. I saw some (somewhat) sarcastic posts above with LMGTFY...however all the hits I am getting so far are for metal plates that attach with tape, and they are made with the version with the plastic dead pedal. If anyone has suggestions on link to products for this new and "improved" version, I'd love to know thank you. I have the all weather mats. The liners don't go up all the way either.

Gotta cut costs somewhere! 
If anyone is interested, I will do a straight* trade of my 2018 P3D+ with dead pedal, frunk hooks, frunk mat, and mobile charging cable with 2 adapters, for your "bare bones" 2020 P3D+... I paid far more for mine, but I'm willing to do a straight* trade
*Aftermarket accessories not included, with the exception of the full PPF, chrome delete, and 3M crystalline window tint.
*Also, I'm kidding. I will not trade anyone. I like my rarely used frunk mat, and frunk hooks too much.

What's odd is the need for a new front left factory mat design to cover the dead pedal area. So they added cost to remove cost? Are the Bean Counters out of control? There must be something substantial added in the mix that warrants this level of decontent and price adjustment to the premium trims (homelink, hooks, front mat, dead pedal, pocket lights, nema1450, +$'s)
Thanks for the photo. I'm sure an aftermarket manufacturer will release a 2020 dead pedal soon.

Yes I wonder what this will look like on the performance. Wasn’t there an aluminum dead pedal for the MP3

My Model 3 Performance (Nov 2018 build date) does not have an aluminum dead pedal. Mine is just rubber. I had a 2008 VW R32 and it was similar. Aluminum brake and accelerator pedal and black rubber for the dead pedal...

ok i've been passively watching this thread and this is just asinine. i hope there was an actual, technical reason for removing the dead pedal. i've yet to get any response from elon or tesla on any of my social media posts so i doubt asking will get you anywhere.

This "cover" attaches to the existing dead pedal. The hard plastic pedal has been removed or covered with carpeting - the floor mat splits and lies on top. I don't think the popular cover plates would attach firmly to the carpet with adhesive tape and would require a new mat.
Adding, this is perfectly fine if you go with the 3D Maxpider rubber mats as they cover the dead pedal anyway.

I've seen people complain that the dead pedal sticks out too far...
Model 3, pedal space to rest left foot?
