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 Semi hauls fresh Cybercab batch as Robotaxi era takes hold
A Tesla Semi was filmed hauling Cybercab units out of Giga Texas for the first time.
A Tesla Semi loaded with Cybercab units was recently filmed leaving Gigafactory Texas, marking what appears to be the first documented delivery run of Tesla’s autonomous two-seater. The footage shows multiple Cybercabs secured on a flatbed trailer being hauled by a production Tesla Semi, a truck rated for a gross combination weight of 82,000 lbs. The location is consistent with Giga Texas in Austin, where Cybercab production has been ramping since February 2026.
The sighting follows a wave of Cybercab activity at the Austin facility. In late April, drone operator Joe Tegtmeyer spotted approximately 60 Cybercabs parked in two organized groups in the factory’s outbound lot, the largest concentration observed to date. Units being staged in an outbound lot is a standard pre-delivery step, and the Semi footage is the logical next frame in that sequence.

This is not the first time Tesla has used its own Semi to move Tesla products. When the Semi was unveiled in 2017, Musk noted it would be used for Tesla’s own operations, and over the years Semi prototypes were spotted carrying cargo ranging from concrete weights to Tesla vehicles being delivered to consumers. In 2023, a Semi was photographed transporting a Cybertruck on a trailer ahead of that vehicle’s delivery launch.
The Cybercab itself was first revealed publicly at Tesla’s “We, Robot” event on October 10, 2024, at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, where 20 pre-production units gave attendees rides around the studio lot. Musk stated at the event that Tesla intends to produce the Cybercab before 2027. The first production unit rolled off the Giga Texas line on February 17, 2026, with Musk posting on X: “Congratulations to the Tesla team on making the first production Cybercab.”
Tesla’s annual production goal is 2 million Cybercabs per year once multiple factories reach full design capacity, with the company targeting a price under $30,000 per unit. Tesla has confirmed plans to expand its robotaxi service to seven cities in the first half of 2026, including Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Las Vegas, building on the unsupervised service already running in Austin. Musk has said he expects robotaxis to cover between a quarter and half of the United States by end of year.
Tesla has taken home the “Overall Loyalty to Make” award from S&P Global Mobility for the fourth consecutive year, reinforcing Tesla owners’ willingness to come back. The 2025 awards are based on S&P Global Mobility’s analysis of 13.6 million new retail vehicle registrations in the U.S. from October 2024 through September 2025. The complete list of 2025 winners includes General Motors for Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer, Tesla for Overall Loyalty to Make, Chevrolet Equinox for Overall Loyalty to Model, Mini for Most Improved Make Loyalty, Subaru for Overall Loyalty to Dealer, and Tesla again for both Ethnic Market Loyalty to Make and Highest Conquest Percentage.
Tesla’s streak in this category started in 2022, and the brand has now won the Highest Conquest Percentage award for six straight years, meaning it keeps pulling buyers away from other brands at a rate no competitor has matched. Tesla’s retention among Asian households reached 63.6% and among Hispanic households 61.9%, rates that significantly outpace national averages for those groups. That breadth of appeal across demographics adds a layer of significance to a win that some might dismiss as routine.
The timing matters too. After several consecutive quarters of decline, Tesla’s share of U.S. EV sales jumped to 59% in Q4 2025. That rebound, arriving just as competitors were flooding the market with new models and incentives, suggests Tesla’s loyalty numbers are not simply the result of limited alternatives. Buyers are still choosing it when they have plenty of other options.
What keeps Tesla owners coming back has a lot to do with the and convenience of charging. The Supercharger network is the most straightforward example. With over 65,000 Superchargers globally, it remains the largest and most reliable fast-charging network in the world, and owners who have built their routines around it face a real practical cost when considering a switch. Competitors have made progress, but the consistency, speed, and availability of Tesla’s network is still the benchmark the rest of the industry is chasing. Then there is the software side. Tesla has built a model where the car you own today is functionally different from the car you bought two years ago, through over-the-air updates that add continuous game-changing improvements such as Full Self-Driving that has moved from a driver-assist feature to an increasingly capable autonomous system. For many Tesla owners, leaving the brand means starting over with a car that will not get meaningfully better over time, and that is a trade-off fewer and fewer are willing to make.

Tesla Cybercab just rolled through Miami inside a glass box
Tesla paraded a Cybercab in a glass display at Miami’s F1 Grand Prix event this week.
Tesla set up an “Autonomy Pop-Up” at Lummus Park in Miami Beach from April 29 through May 3, 2026, embedded within the official F1 Miami Grand Prix Fan Fest. The centerpiece was a Cybertruck towing the Cybercab inside a glass display case marked “Future is Autonomous,” rolling through the beachfront crowd.
Miami is on Tesla’s confirmed list of cities for robotaxi expansion in the first half of 2026, making the promotion a strategic promotion that lays groundwork in a target market.
This was not Tesla’s first time using Miami as a showcase city. In December 2025, Tesla hosted “The Future of Autonomy Visualized” at its Miami Design District showroom, coinciding with Art Basel Miami Beach. That event featured the Cybercab prototype and Optimus robots interacting with attendees. The F1 pop-up this week marks Tesla’s return to Miami and follows a pattern Tesla has been running since early 2026. Just two weeks before Miami, Tesla stationed Optimus at the Tesla Boston Boylston Street showroom on April 19 and 20, directly on the final stretch of the Boston Marathon, letting tens of thousands of runners and spectators meet the robot for free, generating massive earned media at zero advertising cost.

Tesla has confirmed plans to expand its robotaxi service to seven cities in the first half of 2026, including Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Las Vegas, building on the unsupervised service already running in Austin. Musk has said he expects robotaxis to cover between a quarter and half of the United States by end of year. On the production side, Musk told shareholders that the Cybercab manufacturing process could eventually produce up to 5 million vehicles per year, targeting a cycle time of one unit every ten seconds. Scaling robotaxis to 10 million operational units over the next ten years is a key condition of his compensation package, alongside selling 20 million passenger vehicles.
As for the Cybercab’s price, Musk has said buyers will be able to purchase one for under $30,000, with an average operating cost around $0.20 per mile. Whether those numbers hold through full production remains to be seen.
