Tesla Model 3 2017–2023 and Model Y 2020–2024 Accessories: What Fits the Earlier Cars

The short answer: The Model 3 was refreshed for 2024 (the Highland) and the Model Y for 2025 (the Juniper), and Tesla publishes separate owner's manuals for the earlier cars. Many parts follow the same split: most body, trim and filter parts we list for the earlier cars stop at 2023 or 2024, and some interior parts start at 2021. Check the year range on each product page, because a part listed for 2020–2023 isn't promised for a 2024 car. Plenty of parts are shared between the two cars, such as the door and frunk upgrades, screens, chargers and tire tools.

This guide covers the accessories in our collections for the earlier Model 3 (2017–2023) and Model Y (2020–2024): what is made for each car, which years each part is listed for, what the two cars share, and the maintenance Tesla lists in their manuals. Product claims are the sellers', and the Tesla facts come from Tesla's owner's manuals for these cars, linked at the end.

1. Start with your model year

Sellers list most parts by year range, and the ranges don't always match the refresh. Some interior parts start at 2021, and some exterior parts stop at 2023 even though the Model Y wasn't refreshed until 2025. This chart shows the parts with a year range:

If your car is a 2024 Model Y and a part is listed for 2020–2023, ask the seller before you order. Not sure whether you have the earlier car or the refresh? Our Highland and Juniper guides cover the newer cars.

5. Maintenance: what Tesla says to replace

The Maintenance Service Intervals pages of Tesla's 2017–2023 Model 3 and 2020–2024 Model Y manuals list the same basic schedule:

  • Wiper blades: replace every year.
  • Cabin air filter: replace every 2 years.
  • HEPA and carbon filters (Model Y): replace the two HEPA filters and two carbon filters every 3 years.
  • Tires: rotate every 6,250 miles (10,000 km), or sooner if the tread depth differs by 2/32 in (1.5 mm) or more.

6. Floor mats

We list TPE floor and cargo mats for the Model 3 2018–2022, a TPE trunk mat, and 3W sets with their own guides: Model 3 2021–2023 and Model Y 2020–2024. Whatever you choose, the Cleaning pages of both manuals say to make sure the driver's floor mat is securely fastened, so it can't interfere with a pedal, and never to place an extra mat on top of the driver's mat. Mats should rest on the carpet, not on another mat.

How we pick what we list

The products in this guide are from third-party sellers on AliExpress, not made by Tesla, except the 3W mats, which you order from 3W's official store. We look for stores with high positive feedback and read buyer reviews for fit and quality problems. Product claims on our pages are the seller's, and facts about the car come from Tesla's manuals. When you buy through the button on a product page, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.

Frequently asked questions

Do Model 3 2017–2023 accessories fit the Highland?

Mostly not. Exterior parts like the rear window spoiler, body kit and horned mirror covers are listed only up to 2023. A few parts cover both, like the stick-on mirror caps and the hidden mud flaps.

Will a 2020–2023 Model Y part fit a 2024 Model Y?

Not always. The PPF kit, HEPA filters, body kit and license plate bracket are listed only to 2023, so ask the seller before you order one for a 2024 car. Parts listed for 2020–2024 or 2021–2024 do include it.

Do Model Y 2020–2024 accessories fit the Juniper?

Only the ones listed for it, such as the mud flaps, the trunk LED strip, the air mattress and the pet mat. The carbon fiber spoiler, USB hub and phone mount are not for the Juniper.

How often should I change the cabin air filter?

Every 2 years, according to the maintenance pages of both manuals, and on the Model Y 2020–2024, the HEPA and carbon filters every 3 years.
