Frequently asked questions

Look at the front. A full-width light bar across the nose means it is a 2025-or-later Juniper; separate headlight units mean 2020-2024. For certainty, open the driver's door and read the jamb sticker, which carries the manufacture month and year — anything built from January 2025 is a Juniper. That date is more reliable than the model year on a registration document, because Tesla's production changes do not line up with calendar years.

Almost certainly not. The 2025 refresh changed the footwell shape, the cargo floor and the frunk tub, so mats, liners and frunk organizers all have to be bought for the specific generation. A driver's mat cut for the older car can sit proud of the dead pedal in a Juniper, which is the one accessory failure that is a safety issue rather than an annoyance.

The 2020-2024 Model Y and the 2017-2023 Model 3 use a 15-inch display. The Model 3 Highland and the Juniper Model Y in RWD and AWD trim use 15.4 inches. Model Y Premium and Performance, and the Model Y L, use 16 inches at 2560 x 1440. The Highland also adds an 8-inch rear screen the earlier Model 3 never had. This is the one category where trim matters more than model year — two 2025 Model Ys can take incompatible screen protectors.

Tesla's own owner documentation advises against applying films or protectors to the touchscreen, and damage traced to an aftermarket protector or its adhesive can be treated as owner-caused rather than a warranty defect. That is not the same as a blanket statement that fitting one voids your warranty, and we lay out exactly what the documented position is — and is not — on the screen protector warranty guide before any page on this site recommends a product.

The cars ship with basic carpeted mats, not all-weather liners. Whether that is enough depends entirely on where you drive: in a dry climate the factory mats are genuinely fine for years, and in a region with salted winter roads they are the first thing owners replace. We cover what the car comes with and what the upgrade actually buys you on the dedicated guide.

For most owners in a hot climate, yes — more than most accessories in this category. The glass roof is the largest single source of cabin heat gain in these cars, and a fitted shade addresses it directly. The honest caveat is that temperature-reduction figures quoted by sellers vary wildly in what they measure: a surface temperature on a dash in direct sun is a different claim from cabin air temperature. We unpack where those numbers come from rather than repeating them.

In order: all-weather footwell mats if you live anywhere with weather, a roof sunshade if you live anywhere hot, and a console organizer if the open tray bothers you. That is genuinely it for the first week. Screen protectors, door sills, seat-back protectors and frunk organizers are all worth considering after you have lived with the car for a month and know which of them solves a problem you actually have. We publish a first-accessories guide per generation.

No, and we say so on every page. The specifications here are the manufacturer's published claims, linked to the page they came from. Our scores are editorial judgments about fitment scope, published materials and coverage breadth — not measurements. If you want a hands-on review of a specific part from someone who owns it, that is a reasonable thing to go looking for, and we would rather tell you that than pretend to be it.

Because the reasoning is published and checkable. The selection criteria are on the methodology page in priority order, every specification links to its source, every product carries at least one stated downside, and we recommend products we earn nothing on where those are the better buy. You can disagree with a pick here and point at exactly which criterion we weighted differently from you. That is a different kind of trust from testing claims, and on a new site it is the honest kind available.

Because a price copied down weeks ago is worse than no price: it is a number you might act on that is no longer true. Every buy button sends you to Amazon to see the current price. When live price data is enabled for this site, figures will appear with the date they were checked, and anything older than 48 hours disappears automatically rather than quietly aging on the page.

Same reason. Those numbers move constantly, and a snapshot presented as current is a small inaccuracy that compounds across ninety pages. If the retailer's rating matters to your decision, it is one click away and it will be the live figure rather than ours.

Affiliate commission on qualifying purchases, and nothing else. No sponsored posts, no paid placements, no brand has ever paid to appear here or to rank higher once it did. Commission rate is not one of the selection criteria, and where a cheaper product at a retailer that pays us less is the better buy, it is the pick. The affiliate disclosure page sets out the whole arrangement.

Because the depth is the entire value. Covering two cars across five generations is what makes it possible to say that a 2025 Model Y RWD takes a 15.4-inch screen protector while a 2025 Model Y Performance takes a 16-inch one. A site covering every EV on sale cannot hold that detail, which is why most of them write 'fits Tesla Model Y' and leave you to discover the rest after it arrives.

Not covered, and not planned. Nor are wheels, wraps, charging hardware, performance modifications or dashcams. Stating what a site does not do is more useful than implying it does everything — if you are shopping for a Cybertruck bed accessory, this is not the site, and you should know that in one sentence rather than after three clicks.

Some, and fewer than the marketing suggests. The six-seat Model Y L reached the United States in July 2026, and its longer wheelbase, third row and captain's-chair second row mean the rear floor, cargo floor and seat backs are all unique. A standard five-seat Model Y part is a guess rather than a fit. Each category here carries a short fitment note for the L saying what genuinely exists and what does not yet, instead of selling you a part for a different car.

Email us and we will fix it. Material errors are corrected in place with a dated note rather than edited quietly, and corrections from owners are the first mail we read. Every page shows the date it was last reviewed so you can judge how current it is before you act on it.

No to both. There is one author and there are no guest posts, sponsored articles or link insertions available at any price. Mail about those is not answered — which is worth stating plainly, because it is most of the mail a site like this receives.
