Tesla Under-Seat Air Vents: Mesh or ABS Grille?
Small items can slide under a front seat and collect near the HVAC outlet. An accessory covering that opening may help keep loose objects away, but choosing the correct design depends on the car's under-seat vent shape and the cover construction.
What matters when choosing
Flexible mesh and molded ABS grilles are different accessories. The rear-display lower vent is a separate location, and a storage box near the rear console does not replace an air-vent barrier. Always keep airflow and seat movement unobstructed.
