IMHO Tuxmats don't look cheap - they are feel like foamy rubber rather than the standard thin hard rubber mats typically used in cars, and yes they have a textured finish; actually I think it looks better than the typical hard rubber. To each his own. But what we like about them is that they fill the foot areas, including up the driver's left foot rest and have more than 1-inch lip all around (including all across the on-piece mat in back) instead of typical floor mats with a quarter-inch lip, so hard acceleration is not going to slosh all the melted salty slush back onto the carpets. I haven't looked at the other mats mentioned, but if they are as good, by all means go ahead. We looked at the Tesla store ones and decided they looked like something meant for California drizzle not Great White salt slush.
