Tesla Model Y Juniper Fridge: 3 Real-World Installation Videos

Three creator installations. Real-world fitment. Better answers before you buy.

Shopping for a fridge for the refreshed 2025+ Tesla Model Y—commonly referred to as the Model Y Juniper—raises questions that a specification sheet cannot fully answer.

How does the fridge actually fit inside the vehicle? How much cargo space does it use? What does the installation process involve? And how does a built-in side-well fridge compare with a portable 12V car refrigerator?

Product photos are useful for understanding design and features, but they do not always show scale, installation difficulty or everyday usability inside a real vehicle.

To give Model Y owners a clearer look, TEMAI worked with three Tesla creators who installed and featured TEMAI fridge solutions in their vehicles.

The videos below help answer three different buyer questions:

• Which TEMAI fridge size better matches your needs?
• What does the Glacier Y installation process look like?
• How does the finished fridge fit into the Model Y cargo area?

By viewing more than one installation, you can compare fitment, storage capacity, controls and final appearance before deciding whether the Glacier Y is right for your Model Y.

Meet the TEMAI Glacier Y Fridge

The TEMAI Glacier Y is a 17L fridge designed specifically for the refreshed 2025+ Tesla Model Y.

Instead of sitting on the main cargo floor, it installs inside the left rear cargo side well—an area that would otherwise offer limited usable storage.

This vehicle-specific layout helps preserve the main cargo floor for luggage, groceries, camping equipment and everyday cargo while adding dedicated refrigerated storage inside the vehicle.

Glacier Y vs. Aurora Y03: Which Tesla Model Y Fridge Fits Your Needs?

Video by Technologically Curious

For buyers who are still deciding how much refrigerated storage they need, Ben from Technologically Curious provides the clearest starting point.

His video features two TEMAI fridge options developed for the refreshed Model Y:

TEMAI Glacier Y

The Glacier Y is the larger option, offering 17L of refrigerated storage inside the rear cargo side well. It is intended for owners who want additional space for drinks, groceries, family travel, camping supplies or longer road trips.

TEMAI Aurora Y03

The Aurora Y03 is a compact 3.6L fridge intended for owners who need a smaller cooling space for a limited number of drinks, snacks or personal items.

Rather than comparing specifications in isolation, Ben shows where each fridge installs and how each option changes the way available vehicle space is used.

His video is especially useful for buyers asking:

Do I need the larger 17L Glacier Y, or would a smaller Tesla fridge better match my daily routine?

What You Can See in Ben’s Video

• The installation location of both TEMAI fridge options
• The size difference between Glacier Y and Aurora Y03
• The usable storage space inside each model
• The finished appearance after installation
• How each option uses available space inside the Model Y
• Which type of owner may benefit from each capacity

The comparison does not require every buyer to choose the larger product. Its value is helping Model Y owners understand what they are gaining—and what level of storage they actually need—before placing an order.

Who Should Watch This Video?

Ben’s comparison is most useful for:

• First-time TEMAI customers
• Model Y owners comparing compact and larger-capacity fridge options
• Drivers who primarily need cold drinks during daily commutes
• Families who need additional food and beverage storage
• Owners planning road trips or camping weekends

Glacier Y Installation and Controls in a 2025+ Tesla Model Y

Ben’s video helps viewers compare two different TEMAI fridge options. Robert Rosenfeld’s video takes a closer look at the 17L Glacier Y itself.

This walkthrough is especially useful for Tesla owners who are already interested in the Glacier Y but still want to understand:

• Where the fridge installs
• How the installation process works
• Whether it affects the main cargo floor
• How the controls are accessed
• What the completed installation looks like
• Whether the product matches the refreshed Model Y cargo area

Instead of relying only on specifications and product photography, Robert’s video shows the Glacier Y installed inside an actual refreshed Tesla Model Y.

Which TEMAI Model Y Fridge Is Shown in Robert’s Video?

TEMAI has developed different side-well refrigerators for different generations of the Tesla Model Y.

The earlier 16L TEMAI Model Y Fridge was developed around the rear cargo-side dimensions of the 2020–2024 Tesla Model Y.

The refrigerator shown in Robert’s video is not that earlier model.

Robert demonstrates the newer 17L TEMAI Glacier Y Fridge, which was redesigned specifically around the cargo-side structure of the refreshed 2025+ Tesla Model Y, commonly referred to as the Model Y Juniper.

The two products are designed for different vehicle generations:

• 2020–2024 Tesla Model Y: 16L TEMAI Model Y Fridge
• 2025+ refreshed Tesla Model Y / Model Y Juniper: 17L TEMAI Glacier Y Fridge

Although the earlier 16L model may physically fit some refreshed Model Y vehicles with visible gaps or differences in fitment, it was not developed specifically for the updated cargo-side structure.

For the cleanest and most vehicle-specific fit in a refreshed Model Y, customers should choose the 17L Glacier Y.

Always confirm your Model Y generation before placing an order.

Where Does the Glacier Y Install?

The Glacier Y installs inside the left rear cargo side well of the refreshed 2025+ Tesla Model Y.

This recessed area sits beside the main cargo floor and normally provides limited practical storage for larger items.

Instead of placing a portable refrigerator on the central trunk floor, the Glacier Y uses this side-well space to add 17L of refrigerated storage.

Its installation location helps preserve the primary cargo area for:

• Luggage
• Grocery bags
• Camping equipment
• Sports gear
• Strollers
• Road-trip supplies
• Everyday cargo

Robert’s video provides a useful sense of scale by showing how the refrigerator sits inside the side well and how it relates to the surrounding trim and cargo floor.

How Is the Glacier Y Installed?

The Glacier Y uses a vehicle-specific, multi-step installation system developed for the left rear cargo side well of the refreshed Model Y.

The installation process generally includes four main stages.

Step 1: Connect the Power Module

The power module connects the refrigerator to the vehicle’s rear low-voltage power outlet.

The power plug should be inserted fully and securely into the socket, with the cable positioned correctly to help prevent a loose or intermittent connection.

Step 2: Position the Lower Housing

The lower housing is placed inside the left rear cargo side well.

It should be inserted at the correct angle and adjusted until it sits properly within the available vehicle space.

Step 3: Slide the Refrigerator Into Place

The Glacier Y main unit slides into the lower housing.

Its quick-install structure is designed to guide the refrigerator into position and secure it during normal vehicle use.

Step 4: Install the Surrounding Trim

The final trim component is installed around the refrigerator to complete the vehicle-specific appearance.

Once installation is complete, the refrigerator remains accessible from the rear cargo area without occupying the central trunk floor.

The installation does not require permanent modification to the vehicle body. No drilling or cutting of the vehicle structure is required.

The Glacier Y is designed to remain installed during everyday use, but it can still be removed when cleaning, inspection, or maintenance is needed.

What Should You Look for During the Installation?

As you watch Robert’s original video, pay attention to the following details.

Lower-Housing Position

Observe how the lower housing is angled and positioned inside the left rear cargo side well.

Correct positioning is important because the housing determines how securely the refrigerator sits inside the vehicle.

Refrigerator Alignment

Watch how the Glacier Y slides into the lower housing and aligns with the surrounding cargo trim.

Main Cargo-Floor Clearance

Notice that the refrigerator uses the side-well area rather than sitting on the primary cargo floor.

Lid Access

Check how the lid opens after installation and whether the refrigerator remains easy to access from the rear of the vehicle.

Power Connection

Look at how the power cable is routed and how the plug connects to the vehicle’s low-voltage power outlet.

Completed Appearance

View the final installation from multiple angles to understand how the 17L refrigerator fits into the updated Model Y cargo area.

Does the Glacier Y Take Up Trunk Space?

The Glacier Y occupies the left rear cargo side well, but it is designed to avoid taking over the main cargo floor.

That distinction is important.

A conventional portable 12V refrigerator usually sits:

• On the main cargo floor
• Inside the lower trunk compartment
• Behind a passenger seat
• Beside luggage or camping equipment

Depending on its size, a portable refrigerator may need to be secured while driving or removed when additional cargo space is required.

The Glacier Y uses a different layout.

By placing the refrigerator inside the rear side well, it adds refrigerated storage while helping keep the main cargo floor available for normal loading.

The most accurate way to describe this benefit is:

The Glacier Y adds 17L of refrigerated storage without occupying the primary cargo floor.

It should not be described as taking up no vehicle space, because it does use the rear cargo side well.

How Do You Control the Glacier Y Fridge?

The Glacier Y can be controlled directly from the refrigerator or through the TEMAI app.

Physical Rotary Control

A rotary control on the refrigerator allows owners to:

• Turn the unit on or off
• Adjust the target temperature
• Change operating modes
• Check the current operating status

This physical control is useful when standing near the refrigerator and avoids the need to open an app for every basic adjustment.

TEMAI App Control

The Glacier Y also supports Bluetooth connection to the TEMAI app.

Through the app, users can monitor and adjust compatible refrigerator settings from a connected smartphone.

The combination of physical and app-based control gives owners flexibility depending on where they are and how they prefer to manage the refrigerator.

What Temperature Settings Does the Glacier Y Support?

The Glacier Y supports separate cooling and warming ranges.

• Cooling range: −6°C to 20°C / approximately 21°F to 68°F
• Warming range: 30°C to 50°C / approximately 86°F to 122°F

Cooling and warming should be presented as separate operating functions rather than one continuous temperature range.

The refrigerator also supports ECO, Normal, and MAX operating modes for different performance and energy-use preferences.

Actual cooling or warming performance can vary depending on:

• Ambient temperature
• Vehicle power availability
• Selected operating mode
• Starting temperature of the contents
• How frequently the lid is opened
• How much food or drink is stored inside

Everyday Uses for the Glacier Y

The Glacier Y is designed for more than keeping a few drinks cold.

Its 17L capacity can support a variety of everyday and travel situations, including:

• Daily commuting
• Grocery shopping
• Family road trips
• Weekend camping
• Outdoor events
• Long-distance travel
• Charging stops
• Work-related driving

Owners can use the compartment for suitable drinks, snacks, groceries, and travel food while keeping the main trunk available for other cargo.

Highly temperature-sensitive items should only be stored when the user has confirmed that the selected operating temperature and vehicle power conditions meet the item’s storage requirements.

Why Choose a Side-Well Fridge Instead of a Portable Cooler?

A portable cooler can be useful for owners who need to move one refrigerator between multiple vehicles.

However, a traditional portable cooler normally needs to be:

• Loaded before a trip
• Positioned on the cargo floor
• Secured against movement
• Unloaded after use
• Stored elsewhere when not needed

The Glacier Y is intended for Model Y owners who prefer a vehicle-specific solution that can remain ready inside the vehicle.

Because it stays in the side-well area during normal use, refrigerated storage is available without loading and securing a separate cooler before every trip.

This can be particularly convenient for owners who regularly carry groceries, drinks, road-trip supplies, or family travel items.

Creator Spotlight #3: Gjeebs

How Does the Glacier Y Fit in Another Model Y Juniper?

Robert’s video focuses on installation steps and controls. Gjeebs’ video provides another opportunity to evaluate the Glacier Y’s proportions, cargo-side fitment, accessibility, and completed appearance.

This additional installation is valuable because vehicle-specific accessories are difficult to judge from only one camera angle or one presentation style.

Seeing the same 17L Glacier Y inside another refreshed Model Y helps buyers determine whether its size and placement match their expectations.

Why Watch a Second Glacier Y Installation?

Product dimensions can tell you the refrigerator’s measurements, but they do not always communicate how large the product will appear inside the vehicle.

Different camera positions, lighting conditions, and filming styles can reveal details that may not be obvious in a single video.

A second installation can help answer questions such as:

• Does the refrigerator sit evenly inside the side well?
• Does it protrude into the main cargo area?
• Is the lid easy to reach?
• How large does the 17L fridge appear inside the trunk?
• Does the fit look consistent in another vehicle?
• How much of the primary cargo floor remains available?

Gjeebs’ video provides another visual reference for these questions.

Which Glacier Y Version Is Shown in Gjeebs’ Video?

The product shown is the 17L Glacier Y developed for the refreshed 2025+ Tesla Model Y.

It should not be confused with the earlier 16L TEMAI side-well refrigerator developed for 2020–2024 Model Y vehicles.

The 17L Glacier Y was redesigned around the updated rear cargo-side structure of the refreshed Model Y.

This distinction is important because the two generations have different fitment requirements.

What Should You Examine in Gjeebs’ Video?

Rear Side-Well Fitment

Observe how the refrigerator sits inside the left rear cargo side well and follows the available vehicle space.

Main Cargo-Floor Access

Check how much of the central cargo floor remains available after installation.

Lid Accessibility

See how the refrigerator opens and how easily the compartment can be reached from the rear of the vehicle.

Refrigerator Proportions

Compare the size of the refrigerator with the trunk opening, surrounding trim, and main cargo floor.

This helps show how the 17L capacity translates into physical space inside the vehicle.

Trim Alignment

Look at the relationship between the refrigerator, installation trim, and nearby cargo-side panels.

Completed Appearance

View the final installation from another angle and decide whether the vehicle-specific design matches your expectations.

Does the Glacier Y Look Like a Built-In Accessory?

The Glacier Y is designed around a specific location inside the refreshed Model Y, giving it a cleaner and more integrated appearance than a universal portable cooler placed on the trunk floor.

Appropriate descriptions include:

• Clean, vehicle-specific appearance
• Integrated side-well installation
• Built-in-style cargo-area design
• Custom fit for the refreshed Model Y

The Glacier Y should not be described as:

• A Tesla factory refrigerator
• A Tesla OEM fridge
• An official Tesla refrigerator
• A factory-installed component
• A Tesla-endorsed accessory

TEMAI is an independent third-party automotive accessories brand and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Tesla.

How Practical Is the Glacier Y for Everyday Use?

Because the Glacier Y is designed to remain installed inside the side well, owners can use it during ordinary drives as well as longer trips.

Potential use cases include:

• Keeping drinks available during daily commutes
• Carrying suitable groceries after shopping
• Packing snacks for family travel
• Preparing food and drinks for road trips
• Supporting weekend outdoor activities
• Keeping the main cargo floor open for luggage
• Adding refrigerated storage during charging stops

The Glacier Y is intended to become part of the vehicle’s everyday storage system rather than an accessory that must be loaded only for occasional trips.

What Can You See in Gjeebs’ Video?

Gjeebs’ original video shows:

• The 17L Glacier Y installed in another refreshed Model Y
• Rear cargo side-well positioning
• The refrigerator’s proportions inside the trunk

Why More Model Y Owners Are Choosing a Side-Well Refrigerator

The Glacier Y is not simply another portable 12V car refrigerator. It was developed around the way owners use the cargo area of the refreshed 2025+ Tesla Model Y.

A conventional portable fridge normally sits on the main cargo floor, inside the lower trunk compartment, or behind a passenger seat. Depending on its size, it may need to be secured while driving and removed whenever additional cargo space is required.

The 17L Glacier Y takes a different approach.

It installs inside the left rear cargo side well, converting a recessed area into dedicated refrigerated storage while helping preserve the primary cargo floor for luggage, groceries, camping equipment, strollers, and other everyday items.

For many owners, that means they do not have to choose between carrying a refrigerator and keeping the main trunk available.

Once installed and connected to vehicle power, the Glacier Y can remain ready for:

• Daily commuting
• Grocery runs
• Family road trips
• Weekend camping
• Outdoor events
• Long-distance travel
• Charging stops
• Work-related driving

The main benefit is not simply that the refrigerator is inside the vehicle. It is that the product was designed for a specific cargo-side location rather than placed loosely on the trunk floor.

Built-In Side-Well Fridge vs. Portable 12V Car Fridge

Both types of refrigerator can be useful, but they serve different priorities.

A Portable 12V Refrigerator May Be Better If You:

• Need to move one refrigerator between multiple vehicles
• Want to use the fridge outside the car
• Prefer a product that requires no vehicle-specific installation
• Need a larger freestanding refrigerator for extended camping
• Do not mind using part of the main cargo floor

The Glacier Y May Be Better If You:

• Own a refreshed 2025+ Tesla Model Y
• Want a vehicle-specific installation
• Prefer to preserve the primary cargo floor
• Want refrigerated storage ready for regular use
• Frequently carry luggage, groceries, or family equipment
• Prefer a cleaner cargo-area layout
• Need both cooling and warming functions

The Glacier Y is not designed to replace every portable refrigerator. It is intended for Model Y owners who value integrated storage, daily convenience, and a more efficient use of the rear cargo area.

What Can the 17L Glacier Y Actually Hold?

Capacity numbers can be difficult to visualize.

Instead of asking whether 17 liters is enough in general, it is more useful to consider what you normally carry during daily driving, grocery runs, and road trips.

Depending on the size, shape, and packaging of the items, the Glacier Y can hold approximately:

• 12 bottles at 520 mL each
• 20 cans at 330 mL each
• 30 bottles at 200 mL each
• 32 medium-sized lemons

These examples are intended to illustrate capacity. Actual storage will vary depending on packaging, container shape, arrangement, and the amount of space needed for airflow.

Everyday Storage Ideas

The Glacier Y can be used for suitable items such as:

• Bottled water
• Canned beverages
• Soft drinks
• Juice
• Sandwiches
• Meal-prep containers
• Fresh fruit
• Pre-chilled groceries
• Snacks that may soften in hot weather
• Picnic supplies
• Food and drinks for road trips

Owners should continue to follow normal food-safety guidance and check the actual interior temperature before storing perishable items.

The Glacier Y is not a certified medical refrigerator and should not be relied on for medication, vaccines, or other products that require a strictly controlled cold chain.

It should also not be assumed to maintain conventionally frozen food at standard freezer-storage temperatures. Its minimum cooling setting is approximately −6°C / 21°F, and real-world performance can vary with ambient temperature, vehicle power, operating mode, and lid-opening frequency.
