Bed Textile Mat for Cybertruck launches in Tesla Shop

As my friend pointed out, this likely makes a nice welcome mat for a rooftop tent

I took the plunge and ordered one. I have the EVBase vault mat en route and plan to keep one of them. I also just got the OEM vault divider and plan to figure out which mat works best with it. Will report back next week sometime!

I don’t understand the appeal of this product offering.

transportation of delicate goods. It'd be sick for not scratching up a surfboard.

Can't say I see the value proposition, but the same is true for most Tesla branded accessories. They seem like a money grab lol.

Was thinking about this exact use case for surfboards! And 100% agree on the money grabbing ?

At least one potential advantage of the OEM mat would be moisture evaporation / airflow. My vault leaked for the first time only a little bit after a downpour the other night and since I keep my truck outside, wondering if the OEM mat would allow moisture to evaporate vs the solid evbase mat

Same material as their textile interior mats. Similar to an outdoor carpet. Can be hosed off. Exactly what I was looking for. Ordered.

Textile? To each their own I guess.

Yea, this is for using the vault like an SUV back storage. A "truck" bed would pretty much never have a cloth mat, unless it was for camping, and due to the rear window unfortunately not rolling down camping in the vault is out without significant sacrifices.

How does this work with the storage containers?

Cool, but I’d rather have the rubber-ish bed liner (like the ones the all weather floor mats are made of), which I do and like.

But, the Tesla Shop really needs to improve their product descriptions. They never answer the most basic questions. Like, for this mat, is the underside rubber or something to prevent the mat from sliding around when you drag a heavy item (like a plastic container) across it?

People who carry around an assortment of canvas bags like medic kits, climbing gear, etc.

wish they specified if this will work with the cargo divider. tried to use 3rd party with the divider and it was too tight would make it jam in.

hoping this is the perfect amount of clearance.

The cargo divider has a feature to allow use with most any bed mat. Both sides of the divider’s bottom bar have two-piece rubber feet, each held on by two screws and washers. The washers are important and easy to miss because they stay in and must be dug out of the bottom rubber section and reinstalled on the crews. You remove the feet and take off the bottom layer, which is removable for this purpose. After taking off the bottom layer of the “feet”, put back the upper layer, reinstall the screws and washers, and you gain 1/4” of clearance for the mat. Tesla thought of everything.

Tried this with almost any other mat and while it will technically fit it’s so snug that I almost have to force the divider out.

Haven’t seen one thin enough to really work with it smoothly.

Did you remove the rubber foot on the divider? You have two choices - removing one layer gives a quarter inch added space, and removing the foot entirely would be over 1/2 inch. There’s no mat that would impair that.

I’ll double check but pretty sure I removed the entire rubber pad.

Based on comments above, I may have a newer version of the divider, with two options for making more space for a mat. I ordered my divider two weeks ago and my truck was delivered last week, so everything is probably at a next level of Tesla engineering compared to stuff from a year ago.

Did you try to take the feet off the cargo divider
