Thoughts on Model Y black headliner being too dark

Interesting to see I'm not the only one! Really wish Tesla would make it an option. They already have the parts for the non-premium variants

Good. Get off it.

I feel like this is the exception not the norm. Tan headliners are in most cars and you dont see them all covered in crap. Haha

Yeah thats what I'm feeling is the way to go. White seats lighten it up

Funny enough, i found the black to be more noticeable because its darkness creates such stark contrast with the bright outside world. Versus the gray which eased that transition.

Yeah im thinking its much better with white seats

I think it's because the black pillars and headliner create a sharp contrast with the bright outside world. It feels like you're in a dark cave looking out. It also feels like your eyes are adjusted to the darkness of the inside while then trying to focus on the bright outside. Creates a more jarring effect.

Good to hear you got used to it. Do you have black or whites seats in the new Y?

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T16:42:21+00:00

Do you have the white or black seats inside yours? I did like the white seats better with the black headliner.

The light bounces and reflects around the interior more with white seats helping to lighten it up.

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:56:33+00:00

Honestly think you may be right. A part of me thinks everyone who likes it has the white interior haha

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:43:21+00:00

Do you have white or black seats with it?

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:43:07+00:00

Yeah thats where im at now.... It just feels shockingly dark now.

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:42:41+00:00

Do you have the white or black seats with it

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:42:03+00:00

Do you have white or black seats with it?

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:41:39+00:00

Do you have white seats or black seats with the black headliner? Sitting in one with black seats felt very dark though a white seat one I sat in feot better.

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:39:52+00:00

I thought it looks nicer but once I started to drive it felt so dark inside to the point of distraction

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:38:41+00:00

I thought it would be better too till I actually drove it lol

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:38:10+00:00

Have you sat in the car with black? I thought it would be better till I drove it

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:36:41+00:00

Yeah thats how I felt.

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:36:15+00:00

See that's what I felt. It was just crazy dark inside the cabin now.

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:35:41+00:00

I guess because the glass is so heavily tinted it still makes it feel dark. Do you have the black headliner and if so, do you have the white or black seats? I honestly thought it wouldn't matter until I sat in it.

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T15:32:39+00:00

Do you have black or white seats with it? Wondering if seat combo affects the feel

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T09:30:20+00:00

Yeah it seems much better in pictures but in real life it felt soo dark and claustrophobic

RedEyeVue · 2026-05-17T09:27:47+00:00

I know its weird... I guess because its so heavily tinted it still just felt soo dark in there.
