3W vs TuxMat for Model Y.
3Ylist pick: Juniper Premium/Performance — 3W Thorex (#1). 2020–2024 Model Y — TuxMat (#1; currently unavailable on Amazon, so buy it from TuxMat). 2026 Standard Juniper — LASFIT (neither 3W nor TuxMat in this duel).
3Ylist pick: Juniper Premium/Performance — 3W Thorex (#1). 2020–2024 Model Y — TuxMat (#1; currently unavailable on Amazon, so buy it from TuxMat). 2026 Standard Juniper — LASFIT (neither 3W nor TuxMat in this duel).
Best for: 3W: one-box floor + cargo (frunk/trunk/sub-trunk), high Amazon volume, Juniper Premium/Performance, or the 9-piece cargo kit for the Original Model Y. TuxMat: tallest floor sidewalls when spill/snow height matters more than cargo-in-box.
Why the flip: On the mats rankings, Juniper crowns 3W Thorex Best Overall; the Original Model Y crowns TuxMat. TuxMat’s Amazon listings are unavailable right now, so buy TuxMat from its own site. Same brands, different floors, so don’t mix generations.
Does not fit: 2026 Standard (3W titles say Not Standard; TuxMat Juniper is 5-seat AWD path). Juniper ≠ 2020–early 2025. Highland 3 is not a Model Y mat.
Last verified: Aug 13, 2026 (ranking prices/reviews)
One duel. Two generations. Buy the floor you actually have. Juniper (2025–26) is not 2020–2024 Model Y (2020–early 2025). Cheap TPE cargo kit is 3W; high sidewalls are TuxMat.

Choose 3W if / Choose TuxMat if
| Choose 3W if | Choose TuxMat if |
|---|---|
| You want frunk / trunk / sub-trunk in the same buy (Juniper Thorex for Premium/Performance, or the 9-piece kit for the Original Model Y). | Spill / snow height on the floor matters more than cargo-in-box. |
| You trust high Amazon volume and one-box TPE simplicity. | You accept floor-only and will buy cargo separate (or skip cargo). |
| Juniper Premium or Performance (not 2026 Standard). | Buy the right model: Juniper is TuxMat 8930; the Original Model Y is 8571. |
Fitment first. Then coverage, then whether the reviews exist. Prices and Amazon ratings seen Aug 13, 2026 on the ranking cards. A “fits 2020–2026 Model Y” listing is usually wrong.
Juniper Model Y (2025–26) — 3W vs TuxMat
| 3W Thorex | TuxMat | |
|---|---|---|
| Ranking | #1 Best Overall — Prem/Perf. Evidence: Strong. | #3. Highest sidewalls. Evidence: Moderate. |
| Who it’s for | Premium or Performance Juniper who want floor + cargo in one box. Not 2026 Standard. | Owners who want the tallest floor walls. Floor path — not a one-box cargo kit. |
| What to buy | Thorex full cargo set on Amazon. The cheaper 3W listing is a different set without the Thorex cargo pieces. | TuxMat model 8930 (5-seat AWD Juniper). Currently unavailable on Amazon, so buy it from TuxMat. Not model 8571. |
| Coverage | Floor + frunk + trunk + sub-trunk. | 1st + 2nd row floor. Tall sidewalls. Cargo/frunk not in this floor kit. |
| Look | TPE tub look. Not a factory carpet match. | Custom high-wall floor mats. |
| Price (Aug 13, 2026) | about $256 | about $229.80 brand / ~$230 Amazon |
| Reviews | 4.7 from 1,579 | 4.2 from 26 — thin vs 3W |
| Fit caveats | Not for Standard. Not 2020–2024 Model Y. Do not mix with the cheaper Juniper 3W listing. | 5-seat AWD path on the ranking. Skip Standard, 7-seat, or RWD unless that exact car is listed. Not a Highland 3 mat. |
| Buy |
Verdict. Most Juniper Premium/Performance owners: 3W Thorex, with floor and cargo in one box and the ranking #1. Pick TuxMat when sidewall height on the floor beats cargo-in-box. Standard: see LASFIT below — not this pair.
2020–2024 Model Y — 3W vs TuxMat
| TuxMat | 3W Thorex | |
|---|---|---|
| Ranking | #1 Best Overall. Evidence: Moderate + manufacturer-verified fitment. | #2. Evidence: Strong. Cargo-kit alternative. |
| Who it’s for | Pre-Juniper 5-seat Y who want the high-sidewall floor pick. | 5-seat pre-Juniper who want the 9-piece floor + cargo set. Not Juniper. |
| What to buy | TuxMat model 8571 (1st + 2nd row) for the 2020–early 2025 5-seat. Currently unavailable on Amazon, so buy it from TuxMat. Not Juniper model 8930. | Thorex 9-piece set for 2020–early 2025, on Amazon. Not the Juniper Thorex listing. |
| Coverage | 1st + 2nd row floor. High sidewalls. No frunk/cargo in this kit. | 9-piece 5-seat floor + cargo. 2020 Y: revised mount only. |
| Look | Custom high-wall floor mats. | TPE tub look. Not a factory carpet match. |
| Price (Aug 13, 2026) | ~$229.80 Amazon and tuxmat.com | Amazon ~$226.99 |
| Reviews | Brand/Amazon path on the ranking card — buy 8571 and confirm pre-Juniper. | 4.7 from 1,622 — Amazon groups this with other 3W Model Y listings. Confirm the pre-Juniper 5-seat full set. |
| Fit caveats | 5-seat only. Not 7-seat (that’s 8612 on the brand site). Not Highland 3. If your 2025 Y is a Juniper, skip this card. | 5-seat only. Not Juniper. Do not mix with Juniper 3W listings. |
| Buy |
Verdict. Most 2020–2024 Model Y owners: TuxMat, ranking #1 for the pre-refresh floor. It’s currently unavailable on Amazon, so buy it from TuxMat. 3W Thorex 9-piece (4.7 from 1,622) is the in-stock cargo-kit alternative. Don’t buy Juniper mats for a pre-refresh Model Y.
FINAL PICK by generation
| Generation | FINAL PICK | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Juniper Prem/Perf (2025–26) | 3W Thorex | Ranking #1. TuxMat #3 if sidewall height wins (currently unavailable on Amazon). |
| 2020–2024 Model Y (2020–early 2025) | TuxMat | Ranking #1; currently unavailable on Amazon, so buy from TuxMat. 3W Thorex 9-piece is the #2 cargo alternative. |
| 2026 Standard Juniper | LASFIT full set | Neither 3W listing fits. TuxMat Juniper is 5-seat AWD path — not this duel. |
| Highland Model 3 | Not this Model Y duel | TuxMat Highland is on the mats ranking; no verified 3W Highland listing for a 3W↔TuxMat pair. Not a Model Y mat. |
One-liner: Most Juniper Premium/Performance owners: 3W Thorex. Most 2020–2024 Model Y owners: TuxMat (currently unavailable on Amazon, so buy direct). Standard Juniper: LASFIT, not this duel.
Also in the market (not the URL duel)
WeatherTech and 3D MAXpider still show up in buyer searches. They are not the 3W↔TuxMat answer — demoted here so the URL matches the page.
- WeatherTech (Juniper): FloorLiner HP, floor only, about $279, four Amazon reviews when last checked — wait for volume, or buy because you already trust the brand. Amazon
- 3D MAXpider Kagu (Juniper): Factory-look carbon; front + rear sold separate (~$142.99 + ~$76.99). Thin proof. Not Highland 3 mats for a Y.
- WeatherTech / MAXpider (2020–2024): Floor sets on the Original Model Y ranking. Confirm your year; they don’t fit Juniper. Details stay on the mats ranking.
- Tesla OEM liners: Floor only with the Tesla logo — see OEM mats vs 3W.
