Tesla Model Y: Accessing the Cargo Area
To access the cargo area inside the rear trunk, pull up the strap at the rear of the cargo cover. You can then fold the cargo cover forward or remove it from Model Y.

WARNING: When loading cargo, always consider the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) (see Vehicle Loading). The GVWR is the maximum allowable total mass of the vehicle including all passengers, fluids, and cargo.
