3D MAXpider KAGU Cargo Liner for Tesla Model 3 Highland 2024–2026

Wet grocery bags, sandy sports gear and dirty shoes can turn the Model 3's carpeted trunk into a cleaning job. The 3D MAXpider KAGU cargo liner puts a shaped, wipe-clean layer over the main cargo floor. Its appeal is straightforward: coverage that follows the trunk's contours, raised edges that help manage small messes and backing designed to hold the liner against carpet.

This is one black upper rear-trunk liner, part M1TL0701309, for the refreshed 2024–2026 Tesla Model 3 Highland. It is not a multi-piece kit for every storage compartment. That distinction is worth checking before you buy.

What this cargo liner covers—and what it leaves out

The KAGU is shaped for the main upper trunk floor. Compared with a basic flat mat, its molded perimeter is intended to keep loose dirt, damp gear and minor drips within the lined area rather than letting them immediately reach the carpet. That makes it relevant to drivers who often carry groceries, strollers or outdoor equipment.

Coverage stops at the main floor. This purchase does not include a liner for the lower storage well beneath it, the frunk or the rear seatbacks. If you frequently fold the rear seats for bulky cargo, you may also want seatback protection. And while the liner's surface is waterproof, an open-edged trunk liner cannot seal off a large spill or stop liquid that flows over its raised sides.

Why KAGU's layered design is useful

The surface is thermoplastic rubber (TPR), selected for a water-resistant, easy-care finish. Beneath it, the KAGU design uses an XPE foam layer and a MAXpider fiber backing. Rather than using hard spikes, that bottom layer is designed to grip the original trunk carpet. The three-layer construction is more relevant to everyday use than a long list of material names: a cleanable top, some structure underneath and less opportunity for a loose mat to wander.

It is still important to lay the liner flat and check its position after installation. Grip can differ when the cargo floor is covered by another mat or a non-carpet surface. There is also no reason to assume the liner will hold cargo in place: luggage and heavy items still need to be loaded and secured appropriately.

Will the foldable liner get in the way of the subtrunk?

The Model 3 has a storage compartment below the main rear cargo floor, so access matters. 3D MAXpider describes the KAGU cargo-liner design as foldable for access to storage. That is a practical feature if you occasionally lift the floor panel to retrieve charging accessories or other items.

Foldable does not necessarily mean hands-free access. You may still have to lift or fold part of the liner along with the floor panel. If the subtrunk is something you open every day, look closely at the listing's installation and folding photos. Remember that this liner stays on the upper floor; it does not protect the compartment underneath.

Check the Highland generation, not just the Model 3 name

The selected part, M1TL0701309, is listed for the 2024–2026 Model 3 Highland. The 2024 refresh matters because the trunk's shape and trim details are not interchangeable with every earlier Model 3. This is also not a Model Y cargo mat. Verify your vehicle's generation and rear-floor layout before ordering, especially if the car was imported or manufactured around a model change.

If an Amazon page groups several liners under one listing, confirm that the chosen variation is the black, one-piece upper rear cargo liner rather than a lower-trunk piece or a full floor-mat set. Do not infer fitment from a generic brand photo.

Reasons to choose it—and reasons to pass

This KAGU liner makes sense if protecting the carpet is a priority and you want something more tailored than a universal mat. The raised perimeter, cleanable surface and carpet-gripping backing are useful together, particularly when the trunk is used often for wet or messy loads.

There are trade-offs. A molded liner is a more specialized purchase than a simple flat mat, and its coverage is limited to one surface. It does not make the trunk spillproof or protect the upright seatbacks. If your existing mat already handles the occasional grocery run, the extra expense may not add much. If you need comprehensive protection for the lower storage well too, budget for a separate liner rather than assuming this one covers both.

For maintenance, 3D MAXpider recommends wiping the surface down or rinsing it and drying it. Remove the liner for a deeper clean, let it dry before putting it back and occasionally clear any trapped grit from the carpet below.

Before you check the Amazon offer

Use these four checks to avoid ordering a different product from the one described here:

• Car: Tesla Model 3 Highland, model year 2024, 2025 or 2026.
• Part: 3D MAXpider KAGU, black, M1TL0701309; the catalog's selected Amazon ASIN is B0CY3PHPD2.
• Included coverage: one upper rear-trunk liner, not a subtrunk, frunk or seatback kit.
• Storage access: the folding arrangement works for how often you lift the lower cargo-floor panel.

Review the current listing photos, exact variation and return terms before ordering. Price and availability can change and should be checked on the retailer's current offer.

The bottom line

For a 2024–2026 Model 3 Highland owner who regularly carries wet, dusty or dirty items, the 3D MAXpider KAGU is a sensible way to protect the main trunk floor without relying on a loose universal mat. The main decision is not whether it has enough features; it is whether upper-trunk-only protection matches what you need.
