I bought these floor mats for my Model S and really love them. They're beautiful (at least as beautiful as a set of floor mats can be ;)) and easy to clean. In looking at mats for the Clarity, our choices are limited. I had hoped that 3D MAXpider made them for the Clarity, but no such luck.

However they do make them for the Honda Accord. Does anyone know if the floor area in the Accord is similar to that of the Clarity? Perhaps these would fit?

Tuxmat has a set available for the Clarity as well as the Honda all weather mats that Bob mentioned. I have the Honda set while I wait to see if Weathertech will make a set for the Clarity. The Honda mats look good but coverage is lacking on the driver's side mat and the backseat mat does not cover the middle hump. I'm assuming they don't want the floor mat anywhere near the accelerator pedal due to the possibility of the mat interfering with the pedal.
 
Oem mats have very poor coverage on driver’s side, especially at left front where it doesn’t cover the footrest. Dirt gets past mine to the carpet all the time. Ken7’s link doesn’t look like it will fit although those are great quality mats. Shows a rectangular cut it on left side of driver’s mat.

Yeah, I think you're right Ken. There's a cutout on the left side of the driver's mat that doesn't look like it would make much sense in the Clarity. I think this company also sells a generic mat, but that's a dicey proposition. It's a shame because the set I bought for the Tesla just looks so nice, has great coverage and is so easy to clean. I bought the all weather mats for the Clarity when we bought it, but I'm just not crazy about it.

Off-topic, now that the weather has warmed here in N.Y., we're now seeing 50-52 miles on the EV range. That brings us smiles. :)
 
I got the all weather mats as a throw-in from the sales guy. I am also not really crazy about them as they don't cover nearly as well as I'm used to from previous Weather Tech mats. This is especially true for the back mats. Weather Tech would most likely go all the way from side to side, covering the center. I think I'll be buying the Weather Tech when they finally come out as I'm moving to Tacoma and will need something to keep the rain/mud from ruining the car.

Yes. They have been referenced in previous threads.

Just got a set of Tuxmat. Very nice! Used to have Husky liners. Finish and look with Tuxmat are a lot better, but I don’t know about durability (reviews for other cars seems positive about durability). They fit very well. Could post some pictures later if someone would like to see them.

Here in Michigan we get a pool of slushy salty water/snow on the floor mats in the winter. If there is a gap anywhere in the lip around the edge of a mat, the mess just runs off and under the mat, which is a worst case scenario because then it never dries out. I need a mat with a complete lip around edge. I hope Weathertech or Husky make a set with that feature because I’ve not yet seen others with a full edge lip.

That would be great if you could post some pix. How easy are they to clean?
 
Here are some pictures (didn’t clean the mats...):

Those mats look really nice. Just curious, is it your intention to use them year-round instead of the stock carpet mats that come with the Clarity?

Yes, it is my goal. Summer time it is easy to clean (simple vacuum and hose). Winter time, easy to clean as well and it saves the floor (water, calcium, salt, slush...). I did that with my previous car with Husky liners. Until now, I really prefer the Tuxmat. They don’t feel “hard plastic” and look better.
