It’s been great. I’ve been throwing bikes and skis up there and haven’t had a single issue.

$1,275. Roof rack is a separate purchase from shop.tesla.com (even for people who don't need the retrofit kit).

After just under a year of back and forth, I did finally get the retrofit installed on my August, 2017 production Model S at the Chicago service center. The correct part ended up being MS FGR ROOF RACK RETROFIT KIT(1497747-00-A) and the total cost was $825 (see photo of invoice). After I got my...

I have a 2017 Model S with AP2.5. Made an appointment 2 weeks ago to have the MCU2 upgrade installed today. Got a text message from Tesla yesterday saying they have to cancel the appointment and order the part and will reschedule once it arrives (why don’t they order parts when the appointment...

How'd your retrofit go? I took my car in yesterday to have the retrofit finally performed (after 11 months of waiting). The person who checked me in said that the parts had arrived, so we'll see if it gets installed this time.

Good luck!

Are you sure those are the only parts needed? The service center in Chicago told me the entire glass roof would be replaced with a piece that is narrower. I'm on month 8 of "waiting for parts" to have my retrofit completed. I basically don't believe it's ever going to happen now.

Did someone snag this from you yet?

Sadly, no. There have been many problems. I arrived at the service center at my scheduled appointment time and told the person who checked me in what service I was there for. They seemed confused and didn’t know what I was talking about. I was used to this, because I’ve gone through it many...

My appointment to have the retrofit installed is Tuesday. I can post an update after it’s done.

I had the same experience. After weeks of back and forth a local service center got more info from HQ. The retrofit involves replacing the glass roof with newer components. The only visual difference is that the newer glass is narrower. The quote I was given for the install was $265.58 and the...

I have two Sea Sucker talons that I use for mountain bikes and I have never had a single issue with them. No, I have never had any cracked glass. I've driven in windy weather (gusts up to ~25mph) on the highway.

It was in stock for only a few days before it was sold out. Keep in mind that it is only compatible with Model S cars produced after February 10, 2019. If you have a car older than that, you will need to contact service to have your vehicle retrofit. That's one thing you can knock out while...

How did the road noise on your new Michelin Primacy MXM4 tries compare to your Goodyear Eagle Touring OEM tires?

Actually neither Lansing nor Marshall locations are at a Meijer.
