“Confirmed my 65" TV fits in the RAV4 before buying. Would've been stuck at the store.” — Weekend project

Measure smart

What to measure.

Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.

  1. 01The item against the Model 3 trunk opening, the real bottleneck on the sedan
  2. 02Seats-down cargo length, about 72 inches in the Model Y and 64 in the Model 3
  3. 03Whether the item can load through a liftgate versus a trunk lid
  4. 04The frunk capacity for small dense items on either car

Don't make these

Common mistakes.

Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.

  1. ⚠Comparing seats-down cubic feet without checking the Model 3 trunk opening
  2. ⚠Assuming a sedan trunk loads bulky items like a hatch
  3. ⚠Forgetting the frunk adds usable space on both
  4. ⚠Measuring the item without packaging

Frequently asked

Questions we keep getting.

  • Does the Model Y or Model 3 hold more cargo?

    The Model Y, clearly: about 76 cubic feet with the seats down versus about 43 for the Model 3, plus a wide hatch opening the sedan trunk cannot match.

    01

  • Will a bike fit in a Model Y or a Model 3?

    A bike with the front wheel removed fits the Model Y hatch with the seats folded. In the Model 3, the sedan trunk opening usually blocks a bike even with the seats down.

    02

  • Which Tesla is better for moving?

    The Model Y, because the hatch and larger cargo area take bulky items the Model 3 sedan trunk cannot. The Model 3 is fine for boxes and luggage.
