Owning a Tesla Model Y gives you a great driving experience with its electric powertrain, high-tech features and impressive range. But for those who are often on the go, whether for family trips, camping excursions or ski trips, extra cargo space may sometimes be needed. This is where roof boxes come in as a lifesaver. In this article, we'll cover everything you need to know about roof boxes for Tesla Model Y, including tips, recommendations and the benefits of different models.

Why a roof box?

A roof box gives you extra space to store luggage, sports equipment and other accessories without affecting the interior space of your car. This can be particularly useful during longer journeys where you want more space inside the car for passengers and convenience.

Important Factors to Consider

  1. Fit and Assembly: To ensure that the roof box fits securely on your Tesla Model Y, it is important to choose a model that is compatible with your car's roof rails. Make sure the box is easy to assemble and disassemble.
  2. Capacity: Depending on what you plan to load, you need to choose a roof box with sufficient capacity. Roof boxes range in volume from around 300 to 600 litres.
  3. Aerodynamics: A good roof box should be aerodynamic to minimise drag and therefore the impact on your car's range and fuel economy.
  4. Security: Choose a roof box with a robust locking system to protect your belongings while travelling.
