Thanks for the info! So Tesla put in the mounts, but no one have developed a rack yet? I'm not sure about trusting my carbon fibre bikes to suction cups.There are mounting points for the glass roof in the weatherstrip area. (see the < )

Or use a suction cup set up, but you could just wait for Tesla or Thule to figure it out.

Here is a Tesla testing:
Agreed. I am sure that Thule is working on a rack system.Thanks for the info! So Tesla put in the mounts, but no one have developed a rack yet? I'm not sure about trusting my carbon fibre bikes to suction cups.
I'm sure Tesla will offer a factory option you can buy from the online store. It's just not available yet.Thanks for the info! So Tesla put in the mounts, but no one have developed a rack yet? I'm not sure about trusting my carbon fibre bikes to suction cups.
I actually had a sea sucker roof rack I used for hauling my longboards. Eventually 2 of the suction cups failed. They are expensive to replace when they go down and quite frankly, the warranty is crap. Only one year, which I assure you they will fail after one year. An additional mount will cost you between 50-70 dollars each depending on the size. Not a very good product for the cost. But they are the only game in town for cars without rack mounts. Still safer than soft racks too.I need to haul my longboard, hopefully they have a solution soon. Using the suction cups sounds dangerous
Most sales people do not know anything more than what we hear on the forum. Sometimes they know even less..2 Tesla sales people have said that racks will only connect in to the Model 3 on the solid roof version (not glass roof). I see the photo above, but anybody hear anything different lately direct from a Tesla person? At the very least, bundling the glass roof with the premium package is a product management "miss" due to this rack issue.
Thanks, this is very helpful. My current setup is Yakima skyline so I really need just the landing pad "feet pack" but I am relieved to hear that Yakima (and Thule) are actively working on it.I attended the Sea Otter Classic today at Laguna Seca Raceway outside of Monterey. For those who don't know, it's an annual collection of bicycle races for all ability levels, as well as a way for manufacturers to showcase their latest stuff. Some of my findings.
1) The Seasucker system is a "vacuum mount" system that is a lot more sturdy than you'd think it would be for "suction cups." I've seen them over the years, and they've really got a few nice setups.
2) I spoke with Yakima about their Model S racks. They are making what are now Tesla-branded roof racks for the Model S. (It used to be Whispbar, a company that Yakima bought a few years back, and has since folded them into their own product line).
3) Maybe of most interest to you, Yakima also stated that they are testing their Tesla Model 3 racks. I didn't hear anything about dates, but it appears that they are working directly with Tesla.
4) My time talking with Thule was mainly about potentially getting a new set of "feet" for my current Thule rack system, so that I could install it on my Model S. They do have such fitting available.
Cheers!
yet on the model s, you had to get the pano roof for roof racks. i think model 3 glass roof does have roof rack capability, hopefully will see in the future2 Tesla sales people have said that racks will only connect in to the Model 3 on the solid roof version (not glass roof).

These things take time. For one thing they may not have started development until recently. Even if they started a while ago, they have to create prototypes and test them under a variety of conditions including different load types, wind conditions, etc.FYI all, got this from Yakima support today: "I've spoken with our Automotive Team and we are in the design phase for the Model 3 roof rack. We are looking at a January 2019 time frame."
Not sure why it takes well over a year to design a roof rack...
