EQ 001 - Tuxmats after 2 years, trash or good?
Рет қаралды 57,528
Күн бұрынEV-olution Quickies is a new series that answers viewer questions, gives updates on previous videos and product reviews, and more. In this video I answer a viewer question about what the Tuxmat car mats look like after two years of use and two Québec winters; I show you how I clean them and what they look like once cleaned up. Are they still like new or complete trash?
Please feel free to share this video in EV forums and Facebook groups!
I hope you like this new series; it should allow me to release videos more frequently and still be able to produce my regular EV-olution Show videos.

I just ordered a set of these for my 2023 Subaru Outback Touring XT. They are expensive, but I am very impressed with the overall quality and durability of these mats. They literally looked brand new after cleaning. Compared to typical OEM floor mats that don't even begin to cover the most exposed areas (dead pedal, behind brake/accelerator pedals), these are in a different league. Can't wait to get mine installed.

I purchased the tux matts a bit after my comment, they work amazing!!! 100% worth $200 American , it was a bit pricey but it’s amazing quality, I didn’t use any of the pins to hold it down it place , just the ones that come stock in the car that attached to the Matt, I do not worry about getting the stock carpet dirty ! I would recommend if you work with dirty and stone to vacuum or remove any small items that would rub against the Matt. The Matt is very very very tough but just in case!

Thanks for the video. Those Tuxmats are holding up well. I owned a Ford F150 for 17 years and with 201,400 miles on the odometer, the inside looked tired. Luckily, when I first bought the truck, I installed seat covers and carpeted floor mats. Before selling it, i pulled out the mats and seat covers. The carpets looked new, with the usual leaves and crumbs around the edges. With the exception of a small tear on the outer edge of the driver's seat caused by constant in-and-out abuse, and a hole where my right heel wore through the carpet and left a dark area beneath, the interior looked new. I should have replaced those mats at 150,000 miles. I like the looks of the Tuxmats but carpet underfoot sure adds to the luxury feeling. Since my car came with low coverage floor mats, I'm thinking I could install Tuxmat for protection then put the existing mats on top to keep my feet happy, then pull those out when camping or heading to the snow. I'm in California. We have to drive to the snow. How to keep the carpet mats from slipping? I could install snaps or use velcro. I'm obviously in design phase here. Anyway, thanks again for the video.

Allo Andre. Great video to show how the mats hold up. When I saw the driver side retainer hole in the bottom of the mat I thought the carpet would be stained under it. Being in Ontario I can get alot of snow and salt in my vehicle as well. Do you do anything special in the winter to collect the melted snow so it doesn't get too deep and try leak through the hole?
@EV-olution 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much. The mats keep everything in them and if I were to let lots of snow accumulate and melt, the lock hole would probably leak, but I have always had a habit (35 years of doing this) of sitting in the car first, with my feet outside, then banging my feet together to get most of the snow off, then I pivot my feet into the car. This way, the small amount of snow melt evaporates from the heater. If I were not to do this then I my alternative would be to occasionally use a bath towel to absorb and remove the water accumulation that would normally accumulate in the mat. Also to note, Tuxmat now ships these mats with a plug to cover the lock hole. I never got one since I bought ours before the plug was available.

I have had the Tux Mats for over a year now, both in my eSoul and eNero. I have had issues with the passenger side mat in the Nero sliding forward and I wish the same mechanism that was on the drivers side to hold it in place was available for the passenger side. Funny that I do not have the same issue with my eSoul. But outside of that, I am very happy with the purchase. On another note, for the Soul, I was able to get a mat for behind the rear seat but not for the Nero. I had to purchase the back Nero mat from Weather Tech. Strange. BTW, I like the EQ format. Cheers

@@EV-olution You wrote on Jun 29, 2019: I am really happy that I found this thread. The clicking noise and ”dirty brake” noise are present on my Niro EV during lower speed acceleration and deceleration, but were not present until a few weeks ago; I thought I was going insane. I will be contacting my dealer and will direct them to this thread. Thank you very much for all of the posts here.

Other than the text bubble, you didn't comment in the video on what you thought about the Tuxmats after 2 years, and if you'd do it all over again.
@EV-olution 5 ай бұрын
Correct. This EQ episode, as stated at 00:55, is to answer a viewer question about what they look like after 2 years of use. I have several Tuxmat videos (yes, I like them that much 😎) where I explain how much I like and recommend them. If you are interested in hearing my full opinion, then I suggest the latest Tuxmat video I made because there is a new Tuxmat version, so I reviewed them: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZibrNR2xsrUkqc.html

Are Tuxmats like the WeatherTech floormats for KIA?
@EV-olution 3 жыл бұрын
Tuxmat is another brand of aftermarket car mats. I have had Weathertech mats in my previous cars, but the Tuxmat mats protect much better and I think they look much better. I use them all year long. I have 2 older videos about them if you are interested. They are in my Product Review playlist here: kzfaq.info/sun/PL9MtbqtkE-2pmih9w5qN_dlDXgMtye8-z

@@Ct-eh1kv les Tuxmat protègent mieux que les Weathertech, mais il est certain que la surface plus molle ne serait pas bon pour des souliers à crampons. Depuis environ 1 an Weathertech ont créé la gamme Weathertech HP, qui semble couvrir comme les Tuxmat, donc à voir s'ils sont aussi bon pour protéger la voiture.

This is an older video and I sold my Niro EV, but after 3 years they were still like new and my carpets were also like new. I bought a Kia EV6 and got the new version of the Tuxmats. I made a new video about them last year. You may want to check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atminKiTuK3Jhac.html

Wow these fit like a glove and look good after two years. One of the things I asked for when I bought my bolt was weather tech mats. They are a little too rigid but ok. I had to trim odd places of the rear mat because they stuck out enough to trip my kids and interfere with the driver seat move front & back. Lief from Winnipeg 🫡

I really appreciate you taking the time to watch so many of my videos. Thank you very much. If Tuxmat interests you then you should check out 2 other videos I made about them. The original 2019 unboxing, installation and Weathertech comparison video, and my new 2022 Tuxmat review with my EV6 because the mats have changes since 2019. Tuxmat offer better coverage than Weathertech and I am very happy with my new Tuxmats as well. Thanks again.

They don't bother me at all. In both this installation and in my EV6, with the new version of the mats (I have a video about them), I only have 2 clips for the driver side. I only take them out two times per year for the full washing and the clips take 2 seconds to undo. If you remove the mats regularly then I can see it being more of a hassle, but they are in my car all year round

These types of comments are generally from haters, trolls, or the competition of the product being reviewed. It is possible that the person is an actual consumer who was not satisfied with the Tuxmat product, but a lack of reply usually indicates otherwise. FYI, I bought 3 sets for 3 of our cars and have zero regrets with Tuxmat. You may be interested in seeing what the new versions look like. I have a newer video that shows them because I bought a set when I changed my Niro EV for the Kia EV6. You can see the video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZibrNR2xsrUkqc.html
