New Cybertruck owners do not need to install every accessory on delivery day. The useful first-week setup protects the displays you touch constantly, reduces road spray around the wheels, prepares the rear seat for pets without blocking safety hardware, and gives small tools a fixed storage place. This guide puts those upgrades in a practical order.
What current Cybertruck owners are prioritizing
A recent public Cybertruck owner discussion asked which accessories are actually worth buying before delivery. The repeated concerns were not decorative trim. Owners focused on floor and cabin protection, screen protection, mud flaps, pet covers, and items that fit correctly enough to avoid replacing them later.
That is a sensible filter. Start with surfaces and use cases that appear every day, then wait until you have driven the truck long enough to understand the rest. A daily commuter with a dog needs a different setup from a work truck that carries muddy equipment or a Cybertruck used mainly for camping.
- Protect the front and rear displays before scratches or cleaning marks accumulate.
- Add splash control if rain, gravel, snow, or unpaved roads are part of normal driving.
- Prepare the rear seat only for the passengers, pets, or child seats you actually carry.
- Add hidden storage after deciding which small items must remain inside the cabin.
1. Protect both screens before daily fingerprints become daily scrubbing
The Cybertruck cabin relies heavily on its displays, including an 18.5-inch front screen and, on equipped vehicles, a 9.4-inch rear screen. The front display manages core vehicle functions, while the rear display can handle climate, media, navigation, games, and passenger controls. These are high-touch surfaces, especially in family use.
The Cybertruck Front and Rear 9H Tempered Glass Screen Protector Set includes both display sizes and offers Matte or Clear finishes. Choose Clear for a look closer to the original display. Choose Matte when glare and visible fingerprints bother you more than maximum crispness.
Install in a clean, still-air environment before dust settles on the adhesive. Tesla says to use a soft lint-free display cloth for routine cleaning and to enable Controls > Display > Screen Clean Mode before wiping the front screen. Avoid glass cleaner, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, and statically charged cloths, even after a protector is installed.
2. Add mud flaps when the route is harder on the truck than the driveway
Mud flaps make the most sense for owners who regularly encounter wet roads, gravel, road salt, construction areas, snow, or trail access. They will not keep the truck spotless, but they can reduce the direct spray of water, grit, and small debris around the wheel openings and lower body.
The OEM-Style Cybertruck Mud Flaps and Splash Guards use the original mounting points and come as a four-piece front and rear set. The current product selector separates Cybertruck Premium AWD 2024+ from Cybertruck Dual Motor AWD 2026.06+, so choose the vehicle version before checkout rather than assuming every Cybertruck uses the same shape.
Mud flaps reduce spray; they do not replace cleaning. Tesla advises rinsing mud and road salt from the wheel wells, underside, panel seams, and brakes. After an off-road or salted-road drive, removing buildup promptly matters because debris can interfere with vehicle functions and corrosive contamination should not remain on the stainless exterior.
3. Set up the rear seat around the dog, not just the upholstery
A pet cover should protect the rear bench and door panels without blocking seat belts, child-seat anchors, door operation, passenger exits, rear vents, or visibility. Cybertruck has rear climate vents at the back of the center console, so check airflow after the cover and any mesh divider are positioned.
The Tesla Rear Seat Dog Car Seat Cover uses a hammock layout, side flaps, a mesh viewing window, seat anchors, buckle openings, and an anti-slip underside. The current product page uses Standard and Truck size choices instead of a Cybertruck-only molded fit, so compare the selected size with the rear bench and headrest positions before ordering.
After installation, verify that every required buckle and child-seat anchor remains accessible. Attach the included tether to a properly fitted pet harness, never directly to a collar. Tesla's Dog mode helps maintain cabin temperature while the vehicle is parked and lets the owner monitor conditions through the app, but Tesla says it is for short periods and requires active, frequent monitoring nearby. It is not a substitute for secure pet travel while driving.
4. Use hidden storage for small gear, not loose heavy cargo
The center console becomes cluttered quickly when charging adapters, work gloves, cleaning cloths, flashlights, and small tools all compete for one space. Under-seat boxes can move low-priority items out of sight while keeping the console available for things used during a drive.
The Tesla Cybertruck Under-Seat Storage Box is a removable two-piece TPE set for the front seats. Like the mud flaps, it has separate selections for Premium AWD 2024+ and Dual Motor AWD 2026.06+, making that fitment check part of the purchase rather than an afterthought.
Use these boxes for lightweight items that will not leak, overheat, or roll into seat mechanisms. Do not store loose heavy tools where sudden braking could turn them into impact hazards. Slide both seats through their full adjustment range after installation and remove the boxes if they rub wiring, rails, vents, or moving seat components.
What to delay until after the first week
Large electronics, permanent trim changes, full seat covers, and complex powered accessories deserve more time. Tesla warns that some seat covers can interfere with occupancy sensors or airbag deployment, so do not install a full seat cover unless its safety compatibility is clear for the exact seating position and vehicle.
Also delay any accessory that blocks a camera, rear display, air vent, manual door release, seat belt, child-seat anchor, or cabin sensor. Cybertruck configurations can vary by market, manufacture date, and trim. A listing that says “Cybertruck” is not enough when the product wraps tightly around molded panels or electrical components.
The best installation order
- Photograph the cabin and exterior before installation so you can identify pre-existing marks.
- Install the screen protectors in a dust-free space and test touch response on both displays.
- Confirm the exact Cybertruck version, then install the mud flaps and re-check every fastener.
- Fit the dog cover only when you can test buckles, anchors, door movement, rear vents, and headrest straps.
- Install the under-seat boxes, move both front seats through their full range, and listen for rubbing.
- Drive for a week before adding anything else. Real use will reveal the next problem worth solving.

FAQ
Which Cybertruck accessory should I install first?
For most owners, screen protection is the simplest first upgrade because both displays are used constantly. Add mud flaps next if your normal route includes rain, gravel, snow, salt, or unpaved roads.
Should I choose a matte or clear Cybertruck screen protector?
Choose Matte when glare and fingerprints are the bigger problem. Choose Clear when preserving the sharpest factory-like image is more important. Both front and rear sizes should match the Cybertruck displays.
Do Cybertruck mud flaps stop all dirt and stone chips?
No. They reduce direct wheel spray and some debris exposure, but they do not replace cleaning or full surface protection. Rinse mud and road salt from wheel wells, seams, brakes, and the underside after dirty drives.
Can I use a rear dog cover with passengers or a child seat?
Only if the installed cover leaves the required seat belts, child-seat anchors, door controls, exits, and rear vents fully accessible. Remove or reposition it whenever it interferes with passenger restraint routing or a child-seat base.
Do Cybertruck accessories fit every trim and production date?
Not always. The current mud-flap and under-seat storage listings separate Premium AWD 2024+ from Dual Motor AWD 2026.06+. Check the variant, manufacture timing, cabin layout, and product measurements before ordering molded parts.
