I'm considering ordering the Tesla Roof Rack for my still-waiting-to-be-delivered MY as I mountain bike a couple times a month and snowboard a couple times per year.
I'm one of those people who leave the roof rack/cross bars on my vehicle all the time because I find it a hassle to remove and reinstall each time I need it. I'd like to know from those who have/had it...
1. How much of a mileage range drop did you observe, on average?
2. Is it noticeably louder driving with it installed?
3. Did it affect the paint where the roof rack rested on (I believe I read somewhere that it comes with PPF that you install on your paint prior to installing the racks)?
4. I have Thule bike mounts -- do you know if the "square" attachments on Thule mounts fit in the groove of the Tesla rack? (I don't know if Thule and Yakima, who makes the Tesla racks, have the same size grooves)
Thanks in advance!
