I’d like to have a concealed carry option for a handgun safe within easy reach of the driver’s seat. Are there any specifically made for the center console? If not have you installed a reliable safe that doesn’t interfere with legroom? What brand/model fits best. Only need a single gun option. Thank you.

Admittedly I did not review the below, but the thread linked appears to be the most active thread for Model 3 firearm storage; given the similarities between the models, I am sure the information contained within the thread (if any) should apply to Model Y.

Wow... how dangerous is it in the US that you need a gun everywhere you go?
OP needs it to protect himself/herself against ICEing.
Very, nowadays there even are shootings on the freeways (not a daily occurrence, but getting close.) I guess that's why Tesla come up with the bulletproof Cybertruck. Hmmm.... bulletproof CT, biodefense Model S, "fall-out shelter" game.... what's Tesla's thinking? WW3?
Not really all that dangerous and likely the concealed carry will never be used. But why does that matter? On the slim chance they may need it those that choose to carry prefer to be prepared. I also have carried a roadside assistance kit in my car for over 3 decades that I have never had a use for.
There's a ton of room under the drivers seat. I have a Vaultek LifePod I keep under there with no issues.
This issue brings up the next obvious question: Does an effective self defense laser exceed the acceptable C rate of the LR battery?
Thanks, Louanne, for pointing this thread out to me. The thread unfortunately doesn’t provide practical advice for quick access to the driver. I have a handgun safe under my seat to secure my firearms when I am leaving them in the car. There are quick release safes (based on biometrics) for the center consoles of some cars - specifically built for those cars - that give access at a moment’s notice. I am wondering if those are adaptable to the Model Y, or if there is a generic quick release safe perhaps that bolts to the center console or some part of the seat or driver’s side door and can be accessed without others observing what you are doing?
Just a friendly Canadian who doesn’t understand American gun culture. Good luck
It is akin to having an emergency roadside kit in your trunk. You'll likely never use it, and hopefully won't need to, but if something were to happen where you needed it you'll be thankful you brought it with you.

Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it
I have a CCP however rarely use it. The reality of carrying a weapon is you or someone else are more likely to be hurt in a accident with it than need it to save your life.
Simply untrue. When I said being prepared I didn't just mean having the firearm with them, I meant understand and train with the tool as well.
Agree, a weapon in a car equal a whole lot of potential liabilities, but is rarely useful. Most shootings are over within seconds, unlikely enough time for one to reach in, unlock the box, get it loaded....etc.

Does it make sense to store it in a safe?
I mean it takes some time to unlock it and grab it in a street shootout.
