Review: Tesla Model S Trunk Organizer for Your Junk in the Trunk

One of the greatest benefits of owning a Tesla Model S beyond the fact that it’s electric, has amazing performance, and seats seven is being able to store tons of cargo in its spacious interior. There’s a front trunk also known as the “frunk” with ample storage space, along with a huge trunk large enough to store a full-sized bicycle. But with all that space comes the challenge of being able to organize and secure loose items so that they don’t rattle or shift when the car’s in motion.
The new Trunk Organizer for Model S by EVannex was intended to do just that. I recently had the opportunity to pick one up and test it out. Here’s what I thought of it.
Trunk Foot Well Space
The Model S trunk has a hidden gem in the form of extra storage space in the foot well of the trunk seating area. This area is designated as the third row for seating young children assuming one purchased the optional foldaway seats. Since the Model S does not have an exhaust system or muffler beneath the vehicle, Tesla was able to provide a rear foot well which also doubles as a storage area for the child seats when tucked away.
However, if you didn’t pick up the optional child seats like me, you’re left with an empty footwell that inevitably ends up collecting … stuff.
Mine contains a mixture of cleaning supplies, charging cables, adapters, tire maintenance items, things for walking the dog, the list goes on. Finding anything within this section generally requires a lot of digging around. Putting it back is just as painful as I’m often left shuffling items around and repositioning them in a way that allows the top cover to mount flush.
I’ve often thought about how to solve the problem by using various tote type boxes but never found anything to my liking.
EVannex Trunk Organizer for Model S
The ROLA Trunk Organizer is an aftermarket product carried by EVannex but also sold on Amazon that’s designed to help one organize their stuff within the Model S trunk footwell.
The product comes in a long flat box and simply pops open to form the organizer. The process couldn’t have been simpler.
The organizer has a number of nice features:
- It folds completely flat and locks into position when needed
- The dividers are completely removable and attach securely with velcro on the sides and bottom
- There is a mesh pocket running along the front and back of the organizer for smaller objects
- There are handles on each end to help with lifting and carrying the organizer
- The sides, dividers and bottom are sturdy
Installation
Installation was super-easy — the hardest part was clearing out all my crap from the footwell. After that you simply pop it open and drop it into the foot well. Be sure to angle the organizer when initially placing it into the footwell as it’s a snug and near perfect fit. Once in place you can straighten it back out.
Those who purchased the premium sound system will have the area to the left and right of the organizer filled with subwoofers. But for those of us that didn’t, there is extra storage space to be found – perfect for storing taller objects such as windshield washer fluid bottles.
Prior to installing the trunk organizer, I often encountered the issue where items stored in the side pockets would slide into my belongings stashed in the footwell. That’s because there’s no divider between each section. Having the trunk organizer in place alleviated this issue as items would butt up against each respective side of the organizer itself.
What I liked about the organizer is the removable dividers that can be positioned to fit your needs depending on the number and types of items being stowed. Thanks to the velcro attachment, securing it in various configurations was a simple process. I ended up compartmentalizing by theme. One section was for cleaning supplies, another for charging, and one was for tire related products.
One of my concerns when I first saw the dividers was their height. I wasn’t sure if the footwell cover would be able to sit flush but luckily I found it to be a near perfect fit. I kept my all-weather Tesla mat installed on the bottom of the footwell just in case something leaked, and even with that in place the footwell cover closed flush.
All in all, I’m quite happy with the ROLA trunk organizer and glad I got it.

Tesla Model S Plaid battles China’s 1500 hp monster Nurburgring monster, with surprising results
There is just something about Tesla’s tuning and refinement that makes raw specs seem not as game-changing.

The Tesla Model S Plaid has been around for some time. Today, it is no longer the world’s quickest four-door electric sedan, nor is it the most powerful. As per a recent video from motoring YouTube channel Carwow, however, it seems like the Model S Plaid is still more than a match for some of its newer and more powerful rivals.
The monster from China
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is nothing short of a monster. Just like the Model S Plaid, it features three motors. It also has 1,548 hp and 1,770 Nm of torque. It’s All Wheel Drive and weighs a hefty 2,360 kg. The vehicle, which costs just about the equivalent of £55,000, has been recorded setting an insane 7:04.957 at the Nurburgring, surpassing the previous record held by the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT.
For all intents and purposes, the Model S Plaid looked outgunned in Carwow’s test. The Model S Plaid is no slouch with its three motors that produce 1,020 hp and 1,420 Nm of torque. It’s also a bit lighter at 2,190 kg despite its larger size. However, as the Carwow host pointed out, the Model S Plaid holds a 7:25.231 record in the Nurburgring. Compared to the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra’s record, the Model S Plaid’s lap time is notably slower.
Real-world tests
As could be seen in Carwow’s drag races, however, Tesla’s tech wizardry with the Model S Plaid is still hard to beat. The two vehicles competed in nine races, and the older Model S Plaid actually beat its newer, more powerful counterpart from China several times. At one point in the race, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra hit its power limit due to its battery’s temperature, but the Model S Plaid was still going strong.
The Model S Plaid was first teased five years ago, in September 2020 during Tesla’s Battery Day. Since then, cars like the Lucid Air Sapphire and the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra have been released, surpassing its specs. But just like the Model Y ended up being the better all-rounder compared to the BYD Sealion 7 and the MG IM6, there is just something about Tesla’s tuning and refinement that makes raw specs seem not as game-changing.

500-mile test proves why Tesla Model Y still humiliates rivals in Europe
On paper, the BYD Sealion 7 and MG IM6 promised standout capabilities against the Model Y.

BYD is seeing a lot of momentum in Europe, so much so that mainstream media has taken every opportunity to argue that the Chinese automaker has beaten Tesla in the region. But while BYD sales this year in Europe are rising and Tesla’s registrations remain challenged, the raw capabilities of vehicles like the Model Y are difficult to deny.
This was highlighted in a 500-mile challenge by What Car? magazine, which showed that the new Tesla Model Y is more efficient, cheaper to run, and more reliable than rivals like the BYD Sealion 7, and even the nearly 400 KW-charging MG IM6.
Range and charging promises
On paper, the BYD Sealion 7 and MG IM6 promised standout capabilities against the Model Y. The Sealion 7 had more estimated range and the IM6 promised significantly faster charging. When faced with real-world conditions, however, it was still the Model Y that proved superior.
During the 500-mile test, the BYD nearly failed to reach a charging stop, arriving with less range than its display projected, as noted in a CarUp report. MG fared better, but its charging speeds never reached its promised nearly-400 kW charging speed. Tesla’s Model Y, by comparison, managed energy calculations precisely and arrived at each stop without issue.
Tesla leads in areas that matter
Charging times from 25% to 80% showed that the MG was the fastest at 17 minutes, while Tesla and BYD were close at 28 and 29 minutes, respectively. Overall efficiency and cost told a different story, however. The Model Y consumed 19.4 kWh per 100 km, compared to 22.2 for MG and 23.9 for BYD. Over the full trip, Tesla’s charging costs totaled just £82 thanks to its supercharger network, far below BYD’s £130 and MG’s £119.
What Car? Magazine’s testers concluded that despite BYD’s rapid sales growth and the MG IM6’s seriously impressive charging speeds, Tesla remains the more compelling real-world choice. The Model Y just offers stability, efficiency, and a proven charging infrastructure through its Supercharging network. And as per the magazine’s hosts, the Model Y is even the cheapest car to own among the three that were tested.

Tesla Cybertruck slapped with world’s least intimidating ticket, and it’s pure cringe
One cannot help but cringe and feel second-hand embarrassment at the idea of a person just driving around with a stack of these babies.

A Cybertruck parked at Stanford Shopping Center in California was recently hit with what might be the most try-hard piece of paper ever slipped under a wiper blade: a “fake citation” accusing the driver of supporting a “fascist car.”
The note, shared on X by Tesla staff program manager Ryan Torres, quickly made the rounds on X, where it quickly gained attention as an example of how not to protest.
The world’s least intimidating ticket
According to the citation, the supposed “violation” was “driving a fascist car.” The remedial action? Take the bus, call an Uber, or ride a bike. The note also dubbed Elon Musk a “chainsaw-wielding Nazi billionaire.” Now, protests against Tesla and Elon Musk have become commonplace this year, but one cannot help but cringe and feel second-hand embarrassment at the idea of a person just driving around with a stack of fake anti-Tesla/Musk citations.
Torres pointed out the irony himself in his post on X. Tesla currently employs over 140,000 Americans, and SpaceX has put the U.S. firmly back at the top of space technology. As Torres put it, maybe the person behind the world’s least intimidating ticket should “read a book on innovation before vandalizing” other people’s property.
Peak performative clownery
Not to mention that the fake ticket’s logic collapses under its own weight. EVs like the Cybertruck are literally designed to reduce emissions, not “destroy the economy.” If anything, Tesla has bolstered the United States’ economy by fueling jobs in engineering, manufacturing, and clean energy. It’s not the first time a Tesla has been the target of vandalism or politically charged notes, but this one stands out for sheer cringe value.
Torres summed it up neatly: “Peak clownery.” On that point, at least, the citation earns full marks. In a way, though, perhaps cringe fake tickets are not as bad as the literal firebombs that were being thrown at Tesla stores and cars earlier this year because some critics were gleefully misinformed about Elon Musk.
