Ordering new Model Y?

Relative to US production and delivery only: I have surmised if it’s being built, it will have all the updates. If the model you choose from inventory doesn’t have a black headliner, you may not get the latest. I’ve seen all the listing now include the color of the headliner and that should be your indication.

Go through the stock listed as already available in inventory. The ones that say Dark Headliner are the new ones with the 16" screens. For example - this one should have the 16" screen - [https://www.tesla.com/my/order/7SAY230\_866fa40e0dfc57acc73b9c20edbabc0a?range=50&titleStatus=new&redirect=no#overview](https://www.tesla.com/my/order/7SAY230_866fa40e0dfc57acc73b9c20edbabc0a?range=50&titleStatus=new&redirect=no#overview) This one probably does not - [https://www.tesla.com/my/order/7SAY264\_571c60621432f19632f6ea258a6d0b9c?range=50&titleStatus=new&redirect=no#overview](https://www.tesla.com/my/order/7SAY264_571c60621432f19632f6ea258a6d0b9c?range=50&titleStatus=new&redirect=no#overview) I'm surprised the Tesla sales rep doesn't know this.

You are 100% Guarantee or check inventory

Thank you, this is what I was looking for! The person helping at the store was pretty clueless about it.

I ordered Feb 15 and took delivery March 6th. I got the dark headliner and the new 16" screen. On March 3rd, Tesla posted on social media saying "Dark mode engaged - Model Y Premium & Performance now come with black headliner & larger 16" center display" Unless you're buying from inventory, as another commenter has pointed out, you should get the new stuff.

Just want to point out the 0.99% APR incentive may not be available going this route. New production vehicles should get the black headliner and new screen.

hmm...I'd say the insight is more like the sales rep didn't know something that they should know by now.

Same thing happened with me. Person had no clue about upgrades. Definitely check the inventory yourself like StormTrooper said. That’s how I got mine!

Maybe just one data point. I ordered on 2/25 Premium RWD in CA, got the black headliner and bigger screen.

I ordered last week and picked up this week. Premium RWD, came with 16” and it indicated “dark headliner”. Good luck!

Is the new screen noticeably better, other than being a half inch bigger?

Sales advisors know nothing

They don’t have good training and know only as much as the average customer.

Dallas had one on site. Placed my order Monday and picked it up yesterday. My rep said all the models now will have it.

I took delivery yesterday (Mar 11) and it had the larger screen and black headliner.

It’s also a higher resolution, so sharper text and images. Think Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro. Air is very nice and sharp, pro is sharper.

What else is new besides black headliner and bigger screen?

That was all that I’m aware of

Apparently there’s a new chip HW4.5 which I thought was interesting 🧐

I was told by the rep that the new builds have the black headliner and larger screen. If you get one without black headliner it’s the older spec with the smaller screen.

“Premium black interior” is the keyword although if you’re ordering new from the website this is the only option.

I took delivery of a 2026 Premium AWD Model Y on February 6th that was built in January 2026 at Fremont. It came with the larger 16” screen and black headliner. I also noticed that the lighted button inside the frunk that is in the earlier Juniper Model Y is no longer there.
