If you're picking up a brand new Tesla—whether it's a Cybertruck, Model 3, or Model Y—one of the first accessories I always recommend is a high-quality screen protector. And not just any screen protector: go for the matte version. I've tested both types, and the matte one wins hands down for everyday use.
Tesla's massive central touchscreen is one of the best features of these vehicles, but it also attracts fingerprints like a magnet. Glossy protectors (and the bare screen) show every smudge, making the display look dirty even after a quick wipe. That's where matte screen protectors shine.

Shoutout to the team at Joa for hooking me up with their premium matte screen protector kit for the Tesla Cybertruck. Installation was a breeze—super easy and foolproof, even for the larger Cybertruck screen. I've also slapped these on my previous Model 3 and Model Y, and they perform consistently across all models.
Here's what sets it apart:
They even included a rear screen protector for the Cybertruck, which I'll be installing soon.
| Feature | Glossy Protector | Matte Protector | |------------------|------------------|-----------------| | Fingerprint Visibility | High | Low | | Glare Reduction | Poor | Excellent | | Install Ease | Easy | Super Easy | | Clarity | Good | Great |
Glossy might look shinier at first, but matte is the practical choice for real-world Tesla life.
