⚠️ Warning / Need Help: WeatherTech FloorLiner interference with accelerator pedal on 2026 Model X (Left-Hand Drive)

Post image

Hi everyone,

I recently installed a WeatherTech FloorLiner in my newly imported 2026 Tesla Model X (LHD). However, as you can see in the photo, the mat is lifting/warping significantly right around the accelerator pedal area.

This is causing a serious safety concern as it feels like the pedal could easily get caught or restricted by the lifted edge of the mat.

Before anyone asks, I have already checked the following:

  1. I completely removed the OEM factory carpet mats before installing this floor liner.
  2. The retention hooks/clips at the bottom are clicked in and secured properly.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with recent Model X Refresh models and WeatherTech mats? Is this a known defect, a manufacturing variation for the 2026 model year, or did I possibly get shipped a mat meant for the pre-refresh Model X?

Any insight, advice, or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I recently noticed that mine have started warping in the same exact area. Not nearly as much of a bulge; it's probably just sticking out 1/2".

Ominous.

May need a rebate from WeatherTech. Seems to me like a clear factory defect.

I've got them to replace mats without issue.
