Tesla Model Y for film & TV hire
Updated
You will find 2 listings under Tesla Model Y, dating from 2023 to 2024; their dates offer a useful first comparison when the vehicle needs to fit a specific period. You can explore 2020s through the decade links, putting these choices beside other vehicles from those periods when you are planning the scene’s background. When browsing by category, start with Modern; the vehicles can then be considered alongside the people, props and location that make up the scene. If colour is central to the shot, start by comparing pink (kpmf momentum pink wrap) and white, the shades most often listed among these vehicles, with your wardrobe and location references. This selection includes one listing with photographs from its owner.
The Tesla Model Y is the compact electric SUV that took the brand's saloon formula into a taller, more practical body. Revealed in 2019 and on British roads since 2022, it quickly became one of the most familiar electric cars in the country, which is exactly why it reads so naturally on screen. Cast it as the family car in a contemporary drama, the tech founder's daily driver or the quiet, clean-lined vehicle in a commercial about modern life.
On set, the Model Y brings the practical advantages of an electric car: near-silent movement for dialogue, no exhaust for enclosed locations and a minimalist cabin built around a single central screen. Range and charging need planning on long days, and the owner will advise on both.
CarSeen lists Model Ys from private owners, from standard examples to the fully customised Unicorn Tesla, a pink-wrapped show car built for music videos, fashion and social campaigns.

- Yes. It is quiet, emission-free at the tailpipe and instantly recognisable as a contemporary car, which suits modern drama and commercials.

- It depends on the day's use and the weather. Ask the owner to arrive fully charged and check charging options near the location.
- Can the Model Y's screen be shown on camera?
- Often, by agreement with the owner. Brightness and screen content can usually be adjusted, and branded software may need clearing for commercials.

- Yes. The Unicorn Tesla on CarSeen is a customised show car suited to music videos, fashion and social campaigns, with effects agreed per production.
