Tesla Model Y and Model 3 Screen Sizes by Generation

If you take one thing from this hub, take this page. The single most expensive mistake in buying a Tesla screen protector is assuming your model year determines your display size. On the Model Y it does not: the trim does, and two sizes are sold side by side as 2025 and 2026 cars.

The full table

How to confirm your own car in two minutes

1. Open the Tesla app or your Tesla account and look at the order details for the vehicle. The trim is named there, and trim determines display size on the Juniper.
2. If you bought used and have the window sticker, the trim is on it.
3. Look in the back of the center console. A rear screen means you have the 16-inch front display on a Model Y, or you have a Highland.
4. Check the vehicle's own specifications or software menu, which reports hardware details.
5. If all of that fails, measure the display diagonally in inches. A 15-inch and a 16-inch panel differ by enough to be unambiguous.

Why the 16-inch panel is not just bigger

The 16-inch display changed aspect ratio as well as size — from 16:10 to 16:9 — and raised resolution from 1920 x 1200 to 2560 x 1440. That means a 16-inch protector is a different shape, not merely a scaled-up 15.4-inch one. It also means a matte finish on the 16-inch panel discards more detail than it does on the lower-resolution screens, which is a genuine reason to prefer clear glass on those trims.

Which page to go to next

• 15-inch: Model Y 2020-2024 or Model 3 2017-2023.
• 15.4-inch: Model 3 Highland or the 15.4-inch section of the Juniper page.
• 16-inch: Juniper Premium and Performance or Model Y L.
• 8-inch rear: rear screen protectors.

The right protector for each size

Once you know your display size from the table above, this is the product that matches it. Confirm the size against your own car first — this is the category where a model year is not enough.

Overall8.2/ 10 — our editorial score, not a lab test

What works

• The thinnest glass in this group, which is the main variable in how much the touch layer is affected
• Covers the 15-inch panel that the newer 15.4-inch parts will not fit
• Cheap enough to treat as consumable

What does not

• No alignment frame
• A general accessory brand rather than a Tesla specialist, so fitment support is thinner

Manufacturer specifications

• 0.33mm tempered glass
• Cut for the 15-inch display used by the 2020-2024 Model Y and 2017-2023 Model 3
• Marketed as anti-scratch and bubble-free

Model Y Premium, Performance and the Model Y L. This is the size most listings silently get wrong, because the badge on the trunk does not tell you which screen is inside.

What works

• One of the few parts that explicitly addresses the 16-inch panel instead of pretending every Juniper is 15.4-inch

• If you have an RWD or AWD Juniper this is the wrong part entirely

Manufacturer specifications

• Includes an 8-inch rear screen cover
• 9H tempered glass; sold in single and two-pack listings
