Glass roof roof racks tesla.

The japanese conglomerate s withdrawal comes as tesla again tries to ramp production of its sleek solar roof product and nears a deadline to meet certain staffing requirements. Tesla s solar roof integrates active solar shingle tiles that can produce solar energy with inactive shingles to create a roof that produces solar energy without any actual solar panels. Like we said above tesla estimates that a 2 000 ft roof will come with 10 kw of solar generating potential inside the glass tiles. But in practice the amount of solar energy your roof can generate depends on the direction it faces and its shape.

Model s roof rack glass roof was designed and engineered from the ground up for maximum aerodynamic efficiency minimal interior noise and impact to range. Tesla s active solar shingles cost 2 85 per watt while the inactive shingles cost 5 60 per square foot. Tesla model 3 roof rack options when the tesla model 3 first came out there were no commercially available roof racks even from tesla. I imagine there are some threaded holes or some other way to couple the rack towers to the metal part of the roof without touching the glass.

However all model 3 vehicles have mounting points underneath weatherstripping that runs along the edge of the glass roof as in seen in these images. Pure speculation on my part yes. The glass roof. The way i interpret those arrows is that they are pointing to specific attachment locations presently hidden from view in the groove next to the glass.
