TuxMat Floor Liners

You could compare the Model S mats from weathertech and tuxmat, then look at the Model 3 mats from tuxmat - I imagine you can then guess what the Model 3 weathertech mats will be like.
Mine shipped via Fedex. I will have them on Wednesday. Also site shows 30 fill sets available when max added to cart.
there is one real anchor on the drivers side. They installed them - but I think it's velcro or something that attaches to the car carpet and the pin comes through the mat to secure it. They also provide a bunch of clips that attach to the sides of the mats. The clips have a "tongue" that slides under the cars trim to hold them in place. As I may have mentioned - I'm going to add a clip on the inside vertical piece in the drivers area. It's not an issue - but I think it might look a little tidier.

Edit was to use the highlighter as a frame of reference.
Follow up: I left the mat outside in sun and bent. The above picture with highlighter is post being bent. Why would you ship it if you included clips that did not work? Not sure I really care about fitting the flooring. Also not poking a hole in floor till we figure out the fit....
Would you be able to get a shot with the full view of the driver side mat? Based on our in-store install, we found out that the plastic side trim is very tight and doesn't allow the clips to go through, however, the mats fit the curves of the flooring. You can remove the mat first, bend it, and put it back. Also, I noticed that you have not installed the retention hook on the mat as per the photo; please do not forget to install the retention hook.
Please let us know how this works.

Installed the TuxMat's today and very pleased with them. They look much better in person then in the photos. Fit was good. I used 3 clips on the driver side right front corner but probably only needed 1. See picture.
In the past I've bought Weathertech and the main difference is the additional coverage the TuxMat's provide if you live in a snow/wet climate. From a "looks" perspective I think some will like Weathertech and some TuxMat. They really do have a different look and feel to them. The rear mat is particularly nice and provides really great coverage. Hard to see but the mat extends up the base of the back seat.
So with the new mats and yesterday's install of the Jeda wireless pad my car keeps getting better. Now I just need an upgrade from 21.9 to the latest so I can try summon.

How secure are the clips on the driver floor mat?
There are two types. Simple plastic clip plus a retention hook.
TuxMat provided about a dozen of the simple clips. I found no need to use any on the passenger or rear mats. They fit great plus there really isn't a good place to use the clips anyway. I suspect they are standard clips provided for all their mats. (see picture). I did use 3 on the top right driver side mat but could have gotten away with 1 or 2.
The retention hook is plastic with a swivel top that locks the mat. The retention hook itself is hooked into the floors carpet with what can best be described as a sharp nail built into the retention hook that you slide in the carpet. I wasn't thrilled about doing this but it seems to hold very well but lets see what happens in a month or two. Unfortunately Tesla doesn't have any method of holding their small mats down so TuxMat had to be creative. Attached the TuxMat instruction page that will give you an idea of how this works. As I posted earlier they do look very nice and if you live in a snowy or wet climate they should be a good choice.

As a follow up. I worked by folding the mat inside out and steaming it with a clothing steamer. Almost a reverse crease. I think in shipping the back mat was on top of it which really creased it causing it to hit drivers leg. Works great now. Like the mats very much. Especially the rear. Like the look, and it fits my all weather needs.
TuxMat was very helpful and offered to take the mats if I had any concern.

Sorry man ... they're fugly! Looks too lumpy ... need a mat that isn't as ghetto as this
I have the same issue. I sent TuxMat an email. I do not have a clothing steamer so we'll see what the answer is. Are you concerned at all about that middle/back edge "flopping" back over time since it will not be clipped?
All that said, the mats look better in person and appear to have what I would need in nasty weather and protect the carpeting from the dirt and crap from my offspring's cleats and gear. I refuse to be one of those, "you are not getting into my car with those cleats" types of parents. Although I was cringing when my son and his buddy jumped into the back seat after a tournament and grass and mud was all over the floor....I bit my tongue...hard.
Will report back to the group.

Thanks for the detailed write-up and photos. How tight is your driver's side mat? Is the bottom/back right side flush/tight with the left side of the middle console?
Here is a larger and better view of the driver side against the middle console. No gap.
