What is the point of trunk liners?

[Mach1E]

I thought it is an option. They offer that option for 240 extra......

240 extra is for the rubber mats for the front, rear and cargo area (kit) with the Mach E logo.

You get the carpet ones standard.

If you now place an order for the interior protection package (rubber mats), then you'll receive the car with those installed in lieu of the carpet mats.

So if folks want both versions for some reason, it might be best to order without the package (thus receiving carpeted mats) and then get the foot well and/or cargo area mats separately.

I can’t believe I just read 8 pages of this thread; I clearly ran out of reading material in the grumpy thread.

I‘m also impressed that OP has managed to stay serious while it has been 50-2 (rmoore came to his defense) making a joke of the question.

I think there should be more discussion about how golf clubs and electric push cart work with the liner. They definitely get wet and full of grass and sand (my electric cart has been known to get loose and spin around in a sand trap. Looks like the Three Stooges spinning on its side.)

Obviously, I bought the liner. Make that 51-2.

I had my car delivered this week.

I ordered the interior protection package.

It comes wrapped up in plastic and cardboard in the cargo area. It’s up to the dealer to install them.

It also came with carpeted mats.

If your car comes with the rubber mats installed, your dealer did it and took out the carpeted ones. Ask the dealer for the carpet mats as well.

For 2022 MY, carpet mats are included only when IPP is not ordered.

I entered this thread thinking I didn't need a liner, and OP convinced me that I do.

I entered this thread because I read everything else on the interwebs and thought to myself, I can help. So here goes: I have a liner so I don’t get microscopic carpet fibers in my pickleballs when they fall out of the bag. Those fibers affect my serve negatively.

Interesting. I have to admit that the carpeted mats for my Audi are stored away somewhere but at some point I’ll sell the car and given that the rubber ones are pretty worn now would throw in the carpet ones when I sell. Is there an option to purchase the OEM MME ones as an add on?

Yes, you can buy the OEM rubber mats as an accessory. Though, there are also a lot of other custom fit mat options for the MME at this point.

Doing my part to keep this thread going. I read the first few posts when the thread was born because I couldn’t believe a thread existed about "trunk liners". Coming here once a day during my morning coffee I kept seeing this thread popping up but never came back. Here we are, 8 pages in. Wow, and doing my part to get this thread to 9 pages.

When I was on page 6 or so, I was deeply resentful about the 10 minutes of my life spent reading this that could have been used to do, well, literally anything else. Now, my morbid fascination has me glued to my IPad, waiting to see how many pages this thread can go. OP, we owe you.

I hear you and feel the same way. I’m going to hijack this thread. What is the point of a windshield? Does everyone use theirs especially now that there is a recall? I’m thinking of taking mine down…maybe replace with a transparent tarp which ironically would make a pretty good trunk liner

Got it...get the trunk liner for the pickle-balls and condoms

Good summary. ????

At $240 the Interior Protection Package includes the custom rubber floor mats and the trunk liner. It is a good value. I have the carpet mats still in plastic sitting in my garage. I will sell them to you for $100

Seriously though, I will always go with the rubber floor mats and trunk liner on all my vehicles at that price. You don't have to make a decision to haul a bag of manure, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that you could have a spill from groceries in the rear, or a bottle of shampoo, or something else one day. It's cheap insurance and its a lot more convenient than driving around with a tarp in the rear. If I find myself somewhere needing to use the mobile charger one day, it's not going to kill me to remove the liner to get to it (I bought the FCCS so the mobile charger use would be emergency use only for me).

My Select MME (purchased at a dealership) did not come with the Mach-E rubber mats so I ordered a set asap. Why? Because the rain here in the Pacific NW makes for muddy feet and fallen leaves being tracked into my new car after a trip to the pumpkin patch with my teens. Oh, and then there’s the occasional snowstorm up here—salt and dirt on rubber boots after a hike or whatever. Lastly, I golf and play in a men’s baseball league. We play in the rain up this way so wet gear loaded into the bag of my MME is not a good look. Just sayin…

Bottom line: some of us have a lifestyle (and weather patterns) that make having rubber mats nothing short of a necessity.
