Footrest carpet problem

[AndrewGR]

On my previous model 3 the Velcro like backing on the carpet was effective at holding the carpet over the footrest in position. On my model Y, the carpet sticks much less well and the carpet over the footrest tends to move under the brake pedal. Very annoying. Have others had this problem, and if so, has anyone found an effective solution? Driving carpet tacks into the floor doesn’t seem like a good solution!

I have the same problem. I changed to all season matts for the winter so solved it that way.

No asnwer I'm afraid, although I know what you mean. I've always thought it might be an issue on both our M3 and now the MY, but in practice it never has been and I only get reminded when I vacuum the mats.

I have the same issue on my Y. I reported it to Tesla while my car was in for an unrelated repair but they said there was no issue!

Mine did it until I repositioned the mat slightly. No issues since

You might be able to add additional Velcro with adhesive backing.

Mine had a flappy footrest appendage when it was delivered but a slight readjustment of the mat (lifting and pulling it back a little at the left corner) has made it sit properly ever since.

The way it was installed by Tesla was shite and led to the flappy bit hanging diagonal somehow. I just pulled it out and reinstalled it, making sure the flap was actually lined up properly and it’s been fine since

Thanks for all your replies. I have tried repositioning but without success so far. Since some have had some success with this, I will persist a little longer. I’ve considered the self adhesive Velcro option, but wondered whether it would be possible to successfully get Velcro to stick to the fitted flooring. It’s strange that it wasn’t a problem in the 3 even though the materials seem to be the same.

I had the same issue with my Model 3 - but it's not really an issue once you position the mat correctly. It was a bit annoying to have to reposition the mat when I took delivery of the MY though.

Just adjusting didn’t work for me until I pulled the whole thing out and put it back in again lined up correctly if that’s any help.

In the UK, with all the rain, you may need some all-weather mats.

In both the M3 and the Y, my carpets have been caked with mud and have got wet. They clean up well when vacuumed and even better with a wash! But nothing seems to make the MY driver’s mat stick in place as well as the M3 one did. I think something has changed - whether the carpet backing or the fixed floor matting or both I don’t know.

 

[khyros]

I think newer m3/my carpet mats are different, slightly thinner and worse quality. Only noticed when I drove a Fremont m3 loaner last month

 

[yessuz]

Superglue?

 

[Mrklaw]

M3 but Yes! all the damn time. Tends to stay in place when driving but most of the time I get into the car the damn thing has flopped under the brake pedal. Infuriating

Totally agree. Seems to be how I get in / out of the car puts pressure on the mat.

I plan to move to all weather mats as it’s diving me nuts.

Well had the problem on the 3 but after enough adjustment it can stick in place, the Y seems to be doing the same now too!
