Once installed, it never needs to come out. It sits seamlessly inside your car, perfectly matched to your interior — available in beige or black for the Juniper, and black for the YL. It looks like it came from the factory.

100% Blackout — Not All Sunshades Are Equal
This is where most clip-in sunshades fall short. Those aftermarket clip-in shades still allow UV rays and light to filter into the cabin — they reduce glare but don't eliminate it.
This electric retracting sunshade is different: the snug, precision fit creates a complete seal against the glass roof, delivering 100% blackout when fully closed.
No light. No UV. No heat transfer through the glass.
For Australian drivers, this matters enormously. The Tesla Model Y's panoramic glass roof is stunning, but under a Brisbane or Sydney summer sun it can turn your cabin into a greenhouse within minutes. A 100% blackout fit means that heat has nowhere to go — it stays outside where it belongs.
A Real Thermal Barrier for Australian Conditions
Beyond comfort, the thermal efficiency benefits are significant. Because the sunshade creates a genuine heat barrier between the glass roof and your cabin:
- Your Tesla's air conditioning doesn't have to work as hard to cool the cabin
- In winter, warm air doesn't escape through the glass roof
- Your climate system maintains temperature more efficiently
- Less energy is drawn from the battery to compensate for heat gain or loss
This is a meaningful real-world benefit — especially in Queensland and other hot Australian states where the sun is relentless for months at a time.
Clip-in shades simply can't deliver this because they don't seal against the glass.
What Makes This Sunshade Different?
Most sunshades are a compromise — you either block all the light or remove the shade entirely. This one gives you complete control.
You can let in as little or as much light as you want, adjusting the position to suit the time of day, the angle of the sun, or simply your mood.
But the real standout feature is the built-in LED lighting with voice activation. Using simple, easy-to-navigate voice commands, you can:
- Customise the LED light colour and brightness
- Turn the lights on or off entirely
- Set the ambiance to match your drive
The LED strips are designed to complement Tesla's own inbuilt ambient lighting, adding a layer of personalisation that makes your cabin feel truly unique.

One-Touch Manual Override
Not in the mood for voice commands? No problem. The sunshade includes a one-touch button for manual open and close, so you always have instant, simple control regardless of whether you're using voice activation or not.
Seamless Fit for Tesla Model Y YL and Juniper
This sunshade is engineered specifically for the Tesla Model Y YL 6-Seater and Tesla Model Y Juniper. It integrates cleanly into the roofline without modification, and the colour-matched finish — beige or black for Juniper, black for YL — means it blends into your interior rather than standing out as an afterthought.
Once it's in, it stays in. There's no seasonal removal, no storage hassle, and no compromise on the clean look of your Tesla's interior.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a 100% blackout sunshade?
Yes. Unlike clip-in sunshades that still allow UV and light into the cabin, this electric retracting sunshade has a snug, precision fit against the glass roof that delivers complete 100% blackout when fully closed — no light, no UV, no heat transfer.
How does it compare to clip-in sunshades?
Clip-in shades reduce glare but don't seal against the glass, so UV and heat still enter the cabin. This sunshade creates a genuine thermal barrier — meaning your Tesla's air conditioning and heating work less hard, preserving battery range and improving cabin comfort.
How difficult is installation?
Installation takes approximately one hour and is very manageable with two people. A full installation manual is available on our website to guide you through every step.
No specialist tools or workshop visit is required.
Does the LED sunshade fit the Tesla Model Y YL 6-Seater?
Yes. The sunshade is available in black to match the YL interior and is designed to fit seamlessly without modification.
What colours is the sunshade available in?
It comes in beige or black for the Tesla Model Y Juniper, and black for the Tesla Model Y YL 6-Seater.
Does it need to be removed seasonally?
No. Once installed, it stays in permanently. It's designed to live in the car and integrates cleanly with the roofline.
How do the voice commands work?
The voice activation uses simple, easy-to-navigate commands to control the LED lights — including colour, brightness, and on/off.
There's also a one-touch manual button for instant control without voice.
Does the LED lighting match Tesla's ambient lighting?
Yes. The LED strips are designed to complement Tesla's inbuilt LED ambient lighting strips, so the effect feels cohesive and factory-fitted.
Will it help with battery efficiency?
Yes. By acting as a thermal barrier, the sunshade reduces the load on your Tesla's climate system — meaning less battery energy is used to maintain cabin temperature in both hot and cold conditions.
Can I control how much light comes through?
Absolutely. The electric retracting mechanism lets you adjust the shade position to allow as little or as much natural light as you prefer — from fully open to 100% blackout.
