355 mm front and 335 mm rear. Measure before ordering if the vehicle may have a towing or performance brake package.

Anything special about servicing the brakes on a 2020–2024 Tesla Model Y?

355 mm front / 335 mm rear ventilated rotors on all trims (Performance gets red calipers, same rotor diameters per the service manual). Electronic parking brake. Rear pads need brake service mode from the touchscreen. Regenerative braking means pads often last 100k+ mi but can seize from disuse in salty climates; Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating calipers every 12 months / 12,500 mi where roads are salted..
