Dead pedal options

[beatle]

I'm surprised I didn't find many threads on adding a dead pedal to the newer (2017+) cars. Maybe people don't really miss them. I find it strange that there isn't one in the newer cars, and its omission is especially glaring for those with cream carpet. When I climb into the car, I place my right foot on the dead pedal location.

There are a couple options in the aftermarket, both of them attaching with tape:

Model S Footrest, Dead Pedal

Stainless Steel Footrest or Dead Pedal for the Model S. This beautiful pedal is a great match for the Tesla OEM Stainless Steel Pedals. If you recently bought a new Model S, you may have noticed there isn't a footrest pedal for your left foot. Or if you have an older Model S and you have the...

Since nobody has answered yet. There appear to be a couple options for dead pedals on Amazon. They all use the sticky tape.

On my model 3 I removed the tape from the back of the dead pedal, and instead attached a thick strip of the heavy duty Velcro to the back of the pedal. The Velcro allows you to attach the dead pedal to the carpeting in the footwell (not the floor mats- I got rid of them and got floor mats that don’t have the dead pedal extension). It has been quite secure.

I am hoping to do the same thing when my Model S gets here this weekend.

I think I saw your post when looking for info on securing the pedal. Hook side velcro seems like a better idea for carpet.
