This dynamic content delivery ensures you receive the most accurate and up-to-date information for your Tesla Model Y owner's manual.

While this PDF contains all possible information, remember that your in-vehicle manual will only display the sections pertinent to your specific Model Y.
What Owners Should Know
Tesla does not provide physical copies of the owner's manual. The primary and most accurate source of information for your vehicle is the digital manual accessible via the touchscreen. The content is tailored to your vehicle's configuration, including its specific equipment, electrical systems, and infotainment components.
This digital format ensures that any updates or changes to features are immediately reflected in your in-vehicle manual, providing you with the most current information available for your 2021-2024 Tesla Model Y owner's manual.
