Nothing kills the confidence of a late-evening ride faster than a weak, yellow beam that barely reveals the pothole three feet in front of your tire.

Protecting the pristine carpet of your Tesla Model 3 trunk feels like a losing battle the moment you load a leaking grocery bag or muddy hiking boots.
