Hello all.

‘22 model y.
I already have a Thule bike carrier (x3) but the previous family bus had roof rails.

The tesla does not.

Anyone using a set of fixed mount roof bars they’d care to recommend?

Lease car. I have spoken to the lease company and have it in writing that they “don’t care” what I put on.

But yes, noted.

Yakima are making some but they aren't available until mid-June. Some stories of broken glass roofs so I went for the Tesla option and got them to fit it as an insurance policy (£70). It's expensive, but I wanted the fallback should the worst happen.
I bought some. Looked ok.
Before I fitted them I had a call to send them back. Too easy to fit wrong and break the roof. The conversation had was that I would not have been liable if that had happened.

So, still no bars.
Might buy another estate car.

Odd that Tesla told you not to fit them though - what else are you supposed to do?
Sorry. I was unclear.
The supplier of the 3rd party roof bars called me and told me not to use them.
