"You can tell me." vs "You could tell me yesterday."

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'You could tell me yesterday' implies a past possibility that the person did not tell you yesterday. 'You can tell me' is a present possibility, indicating that the person has the ability to tell you something. The choice between the two depends on whether you are referring to a past or present situation.
