- Can I do it? Well let's see...
Richard very kindly bought a roof rack for me for my M3 so that I can transport my Kayak or SUP; the one condition being that he film me fitting it.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not one for those practical tasks and indeed have a few DIY disasters to my name.
Having said that fitting a roof rack is not really too complicated or difficult but the team here still thought I would be the most likely to make a hash of it and perhaps generate a few smiles along the way.
Were they right?
Well I guess you will have to watch to find out.
Hope it is useful to see how this roof rack is fitted and keep an eye out for an efficiency test when we have the chance.

This was a gem to watch. Instructions that say simply are always bad and the simple part never is!
Holy cow, I recently bought a Roof Rack for the Model 3, but haven't assembled it. Thank's for sharing the video!
Very helpful ! great content idea !!! Thanks for taking the time to do this.
so glad i'm not the only inept DIYer. great film
Hi Richard, please could you do a video on headlight alignment specifically the model 3, although it’s extremely easy to adjust it’s not so easy to get right as even when I took it to Tesla to sort out it was still way too low. I know it shows how to measure in the manual but you have to have your car way too far back! As you have so many Tesla’s there you could go less far back and take an average measurement 🙏🏻🤞🏼
Fun to watch and very useful
Excellent! Great fun to watch. And the Allen Key is named after the Allen Company in the USA who used to supply them. Bit like "Hoover" and "Thermos" the trade name has become a generic one.
the Unbraco or Hex key is what we use in scandinavia , NONE use allen key here . Unbraco is the correct term for scandinavia
Evening and great demo and see you Friday for collection.
Interesting video guys
Can you do a trip to a France on the Ferry to test and give feedback on a) alarm settings on the boat b) how to adjust headlights c) charging abroad …..d) all your usual excellent insights 👍🙏
Nice Buzz Lineup⚡️⚡️
Wow I have done this twice. On a 3 and a Y. This guy makes it look 4x harder then it is.
17:58 next video idea: Tesla strap-on review
Nice, can you do the front mud flaps next? I’ve still got those in a bag 8 months after car collection 😊
🤣same here!!!
Hi Richard and gang, I love your videos. Great content and style, entertaining too - I always learn something. An episode on roof rack fitting is a very good idea. That said, the long speeded up sections did my head in, a bit like motion sickness. Also the inclusion of bits of film clips to highlight something, like “don’t do that!”, is a big turn off, for me anyway. That sort of thing spoils the natural production style you usually adopt. Apologies for this mini rant but usually I am your number one fan. Keep up the good work and do please stick to your usual adorable style.
Same procedure with the Y?
We take a box on the roof of the Wife’s ICE to go skiing (we also take the bloomin kitchen sink!). Clearly the bars and box would destroy the range, but it would be worth considering suitability for long distance trips (17.5 hrs Norwich to Salzburg).
Hi Richard, Have you fitted a cluster display?
Although there’s nothing in the Tesla manual, I understand that you can’t use a trunk mounted bike rack on a Model 3. Does the trunk (aka lift-gate) bend or is it simply subject to scratching, or something else? For me, it would be easier than lifting a 30 pound bike onto the roof. In the US, Tesla won’t place a trailer hitch on a Model 3. Thanks.
As a follow-up to this, I asked a Tesla service technician about this when he was out fixing another problem with my Model 3. He said a trunk mountain bike rack is perfectly safe. In fact, he said he preferred them to the roof mounted rack as he said he seen the roof glass crack at times with the latter. I used a Allen bike rack with only one bike on a recent road trip. No damage noted.YMMV.
Not a Tesla owner, when Joe finished fitting the roof rails, I needed darkened room to de-stress😂
I've seen a few of these on teslas and wondered how they went on... Now I know 😊. Not sure I like the idea of it being wedged under the glass
And this is why I have a tow bar and bike carrier rather than roof bars 😝
Allan key 👍
From the build up I thought he was going to make a right pigs ear of the whole thing. But really he looked ok. Let's hope it doesn't fall off. 😊
Evening guys
Big thanks to Joe for finding my house keys yesterday.
Interesting, but now I am sure it is a too big of a hassle to mount those roof bars so I would prefer to use my trailer (even though I need to empty it first) rather than mounting roof bars
It ain't. Took me 15 minutes. Will Take 5cnext time. Those glass markings were hard ti see at first but easy now.
How much increase of consumption ?
I did a road trip from London to Gibraltar last year, and then again this year, except this year I had the roof bars and a bike mounted on the roof. Over the 3,000 miles of driving, there was no discernible difference in efficiency. Both trips I averaged around 240Wh/mile in a 2022 Model 3 RWD.
I would not fit one of those on mine .
I can't look at this!
I'm really glad I have no need for a roof rack. I'd be waiting for the horrible crack of that glass roof.
Had these on my Model 3. They look good, but if you're carrying anything other than a bicycle on the rack, they're pretty much worthless. Very flimsy and not enough span for for carrying a kayak.
😂
Wtf…imagine our friend buy ikea furniture? He would eat, sleep and sit on the floor
Who drove into a space forward? Ruined the vibe!
I don’t know why people want to be comedians when producing instructional videos. A review of the components would have been helpful. The interspersing of the extraneous videos was not comic relief, it was distracting. Sigh.
You’ve been hacked again 😳
