The Tesla Model Y is built for adventure — generous space, a panoramic glass roof, and the power to take on long road trips comfortably. But when it comes to roof racks, the Model Y demands precision. With the widest glass roof in the Tesla lineup, the rack must match Tesla’s engineering exactly.
Here’s your complete, accurate, practical guide.
Official Tesla Model Y OEM Roof Rack Part Number
An example from a verified manual: 1541277-00-B
(Earlier/later revisions may exist.)
This is a valid Tesla-issued number for a roof rack kit.
Why It’s Impossible to Visually Confirm a Tesla Y Rack
Like the Model 3:
- No part number is stamped anywhere
- No engraving is used
- Towers, clamps, and bars are unmarked
So visual inspection alone won’t confirm OEM status.
If you own a Model 3 instead, see our Tesla Model 3 OEM roof rack guide.
How to Verify a Model Y Rack Is Genuine OEM
Ask for:
- A photo of the Tesla roof rack manual
- Tesla invoice or order confirmation
- Footpack/tower photos (real OEM is very distinctive)
- Packaging image (optional but helpful)
If the documentation matches Tesla’s format, you’re safe.
Why Aftermarket Roof Racks can be a problem on the Model Y
The Model Y’s massive roof panel magnifies any flaws in clamp angle, pressure, or torque.
Common issues seen from aftermarket roof rack setups:
- roof flex
- noisy airflow
- clamp movement
- uneven load bearing
- glass-edge stress
- reduced efficiency
OEM exists for a reason — to keep everything predictable and safe.
