I went with these about two years ago and have used a number of times (roofbox, transporting wood etc.). They’ve given me no problems and I would recommend.

A alternative, I would recommend installing a tow hitch and use a bicycle carrier.
Because Tesla have a glass roof, I would not recommend putting anything on the roof.

Found this online for MY, I have my reservations, it seems to be adhesive mounted roof rails on the glass roof. Any thoughts?

Would not trust that when it gets hot and the adhesive becomes a bit liquid... I prefer a more permanent fixture!Found this online for MY, I have my reservations, it seems to be adhesive mounted roof rails on the glass roof. Any thoughts?

Correct. The roof bars attach to a metal bracket under the glass and rest on the metal parts on the sides of the roof. Depending on the fitment of the glass, the roof bars may not even touch the glass.

This is right, the roof bar doesn't touch the glass, as a test you can slide a credit card underneath:
I have Tesla bars, but I use them to carry stuff like tubs or conduits, or plywood who would otherwise not fit inside the car.
However, I would not put any bicycles on the roof from previous bad experiences...
One time at night, on an hotel parking lot, I hit a branch of a tree and the fork of my bike made a big dent in my roof.
You cannot use underground parking lots if you need to got shopping or use some Superchargers located inside a building.
Also bicycle mounted on the roof will strongly decrease your range when driving on freeway.

I use a roof box with the bars and it’s not so bad. The car is is so low the added height from the roof box doesn’t make it any taller than a big SUV. There is some impact on range, but it’s not horrific.

I was providing additional information. The OP may choose to take it or leave it.
