Been using mine for almost 2 years now without any issue with heat even in the middle of summer. I have 7 seater so the sub trunk cover has openings on both sides. I find that's enough ventilation.
WARNING: Do not buy this cooler if you have a 5 seater Model Y. The cooler is too tall by about an inch and the subtrunk cover will sit on the cooler instead of on the surrounding risers. I'm assuming it worked for the original poster because on closer inspection he seems to have a 7 seater with a different subtrunk or associated cover.
Check out the youtube channel for HoboTech. He covers a lot of DC related stuff, Solar generators, invertors, batteries, DC battery powered HVAC units, DC battery dual zone frigs.
Not all of it might fit where you want it but some of these DC frig's blow away others in terms of cooling performance, efficiency, build quality, features, waterproofing ratings for outdoor use, warranty.
But if all you care about is size maybe skip his channel.

The thing looks amazing and I saw on Facebook they answered some questions about the tight fit and ventilation and they replied that it was engineered with that in mind and the clearance was acceptable.
The problem I see is that I think the 12v in the Model Y shuts off when the car goes to sleep… possibly that can be avoided if climate is set to stay on, but I haven’t researched that much.
Edit: Apparently Camp Mode solves that issue.

Travel cooler/fridge
Has anyone found a decent cooler style fridge (not the tiny little rear console one - way too small). Soon after we (hope) to get our MYLR, we will leave AZ for ME for the summer and want to have a fridge option that can run DC with a low draw in the car but also go AC in a hotel/bnb at night...

I bought the one from Costco. It's cheap and seems to work well so far.
That’s not powered though, right?Just using sentry works too.

The one I linked claims it can do subzero ( Fahrenheit) temperatures!
Yes it's a powered compressor based refrigerator. The setting goes down to -4F. I put a temperature sensor in there for a couple of hours and it went down to around 0F. I would guess it would have dropped a few degrees if I left it overnight.
First time poster. I bought this little guy for some road trips. Freezes and cools. I leave on Sentry mode to keep the 12\16v outlets running. Also makes for a nice center console in the back seats. Will most likely recover it in black alcatera to blend in better. I used double-sided velcro used for wrapping wires and hoses to grab the carpet down from the trunk, over the seat, and to the carpet in the footwell. The velcro is fuzzy-side up. Industrial velcro is stuck to the underside of the cooler(hook side). Also incuded tear-down pics. Was curious on the compressor design.

There are some out there that can be configured with one just the one cavity or you can split into two and the best part is each can have its own temp. I’m sure it can’t be to wildly different but depending on what you’re bringing it could be helpful. And it’s smart enough to know you removed the divider.
And since some are also battery powered some new models also have direct solar input so you can keep it topped offed and still cooling when not plugged into the car.
Loads of fancy options if you look enough.

Thread on reddit says the trunk cover doesn't sit flush over this. Is that your experience? Seems odd if they designed it that way.
It contradicts other photos of the fridge sitting flush, so I'm wondering if the reddit poster's 5 seater Model Y, being made in China, has a smaller subtrunk.
From the video on this aliexpress page (Link), the fridge has an interesting/smart design where it vents out the back when the cover is on. The 5 seat subtrunk cover leaves a gap all along its rear by design, so taking advantage of that could work really well.
