For a long time, the Tesla Model Y was delivered without a trunk cover as standard. The part is now included in Tesla's scope of delivery, but it was a long way to get there - which has produced numerous different Model Y versions.
Find out which ones they are and what you can do if you don't yet have a Model Y parcel shelf here.
Tesla Model Y parcel shelf: For a long time, in-house designs dominated
It is unclear whether Tesla omitted the tray at the beginning for reasons of cost, pragmatism or conviction. The fact is that many early buyers of the Model Y did not get one. Those who attached importance to it, for example for privacy or noise insulation, often had to either rely on covers from third-party suppliers or try their own design.
Luckily, this is no longer necessary today. If your Model Y is still missing a parcel shelf, you will find it at us . Please note, however, that the Teslabs trunk cover is only compatible with Model Ys produced in Shanghai before May 2022.
Cover from the manufacturer since mid-2022
Probably also due to pressure from German and European customers, Tesla has since equipped all Model Ys from Shanghai with a parcel shelf. A few months earlier, models with a trunk lid were already sighted on the Asian market. Model Ys produced in Grünheide, Germany, were equipped with the storage compartment almost from the start.
Model Y trunk cover now in its second version
The trunk cover initially introduced by the US car manufacturer was in three parts and, if you read user reports , rather unusable. For this reason, a second four-part version is now used in new Model Ys.
However, it is said to occurthat some of the remaining old covers are still being used. There is probably no guarantee, which means that there is no reason for complaint.
The situation is different if the steering wheel in the new Model Y is crooked and vibrations occur - which is probably not that rare.
