Tesla Model 3/Y Carbon Fiber Reading Light Trim vs Tesla Model 3 & Y Carbon Fiber Console Overlay
These are two different upgrades, not two versions of one. The reading light trim is a small, real carbon fiber accent for the front and rear light housings; the console overlay is a larger dry molded carbon piece that covers the top and side panels around the center console. Buy the reading light trim if you want a subtle, low-commitment touch of carbon. Buy the console overlay if you want the high-traffic center area to read as carbon every time you get in. Owners of both types report the adhesive-backed overlays hold well when the surface is cleaned first, and that fit is the main thing to check on your model year.
- Choose the reading light trim if you want a genuine carbon fiber accent on a small, visible spot with minimal installation effort.
- Choose the console overlay if you want the center console's top and side panels covered in dry molded carbon fiber for a larger visual change.
