The Tesla Model Y window sticker — build, options & years
The Tesla Model Y ran from 2020–2026. Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, including its electric range and MPGe rating.
Which year's sticker do I need? Any Tesla Model Y VIN works — ForCar reads the exact model year automatically. On owner data the cleanest years are 2021, 2022, 2023; the most-complained-about are 2020, 2025, 2026. For year-by-year recalls, MPG and safety, see the full Tesla Model Y VIN decoder.
What the Tesla Model Y sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Model Y, latest tested year 2026:
The label also prints an estimated $550 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles. EPA files the Model Y under Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker. Electric models are rated in MPGe — miles per gallon of energy equivalent, with 321 miles of EPA range.
How the Model Y's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2020 to 2026. Worth checking before you compare a Model Y sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 17 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
Safety ratings printed on the label
The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the Model Y sticker carries as of its 2026 rating:
Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.

Where to find the VIN on a Tesla Model Y
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Model Y, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Tesla Model Y all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Tesla Model Y whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
