I love these roof racks! So much better than the Model S Whisbars. Virtually zero wind noise until I put my bicycle and a surfboard/padding on then its like a hurricane as expected.
They are so well designed than despite being tightened down so tight that it can't possibly budge, I can slide a credit card between the rack plastic and the glass on the roof. It is definitely not putting any direct pressure on the glass, though if you tightened it to absurdity it might but I'm not going to be the one to test this.
It fits fairly far forward in the downward slope of the roof so even if you could figure a way to put on a different rack, the downward slope would wreak havoc with wind noise and drag. You would need a way to adjust the angle. I believe the model 3 Yakima's have this adjustment capability but I do not like the way the Yakima's go over the chrome above the window and could potentially damage the chrome strip or the window glass itself when it self seals when closing the door. Plus they are 100.00 more. My advice is to wait for the Tesla's to become available again.
I plan to just keep them on given the lack of wind noise and measurable increase in wh/m. I see absolutely no increase, and I like the way they look. I have also take them off and put them back on in less than 10 minutes, and with practice I think I could get it down to 5 minutes....But I'm going to just leave them on.
