Tesla Roof Racks | Model 3 & Y

Tesla Roof Racks

These Tesla Roof Racks are meant to carry bicycles, ski boxes, canoes or any type of bulky items. Of course, you need the right carrier for your item to transport safely. Like a bicycle carrier for transporting bicycles for example.

The Tesla Roof Racks use T-slots to attach carriers and can carry weight up to 65kg. This allows for highly aero dynamic efficiency. The rack tracks require a 20x20mm T-slot from the carrier.

Locks

The Roof Racks are equipped with locks to enhance security. These locks significantly increase the difficulty of removing and stealing the roof racks from your vehicle. The locking mechanism operates using a key (spare key provided), and a mechanism that secures the screw nut in place when locked. This provides an added layer of protection and ensures the roof racks remain securely attached to your car.

A bit about wind noise

This is the short answer: Tesla cars hardly makes any noise, so wind noise from roof racks are just more apparent than on combustion cars.

Tesla cars have no noisy internal combustion engine and low wind noise due to the high aerodynamic design. The main noise comes from the tires.

The Teslavie Roof Racks, just as the Tesla cars, are highly aerodynamic and hence produce less wind drag and noise than other roof rack models.
