How to get the right Model Y manual

  1. Find your VIN on the driver's side of the dashboard or the door jamb label, and decode it below to confirm the model year and trim.
  2. Open the official Tesla owner site and choose the Model Y.
  3. Select your model year. If the site asks for a VIN, use it so the manual matches your exact equipment.
  4. Download the owner's manual plus any separate guides for navigation, infotainment, warranty and maintenance.
  5. Save the PDF to your phone so it's there when you're in the car without signal.

Questions

Where can I get the Tesla Model Y owner's manual?

This page hosts Tesla's official owner's manual PDFs for the 2025 Model Y, copied from tesla.com. Open one to read it in your browser, download it or print it. For other years, use the official owner site (tesla.com).

Is the manual the same for every Model Y year?

No. Manuals are written for each model year and the Model Y spans 2020–2026. Equipment, infotainment and maintenance intervals change between years and generations, so always use the edition for your year.

How do I check recalls on a Tesla Model Y?

Use the recall checker on this page, which searches NHTSA's recall database by model year. Recalls apply to specific VINs, so confirm with a Tesla dealer or at nhtsa.gov/recalls using your 17 character VIN.
