- 26 inches on the driver's side and 20 inches on the passenger's side.
Can you fit a longer wiper blade on a 2020–2024 Tesla Model Y?
- Going up one inch usually clears, but it is not free: an oversized driver's blade can overlap the passenger blade at the top of the sweep, or run off the edge of the glass and chatter. The factory sizes are chosen to sweep the maximum area without contact.
What wiper connector does a 2020–2024 Tesla Model Y use?
- Per Tesla's DIY guide: driver 26 in (650 mm), passenger 20 in (500 mm). Tesla OEM beam blades use a Tesla-specific connector. Confirm the aftermarket blade lists Model Y fitment or includes the right adapter. Set wiper service mode from the touchscreen (Controls > Service > Wiper Service Mode) before lifting the arms.. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch.
