Best Cargo Box for 2018 Tesla Model 3 with Least Amount of Front Overhang
Question:
I know the common problem with mounting points for roof boxes is that they sit too far back and interfere with the trunk opening. I am encountering the opposite problem on my Tesla Model 3 with the OEM Tesla roof rack installed because the crossbars sit so far forward on the vehicle that my existing roof box Yakima Rocketbox Pro 11 significantly overhangs the windshield. Im concerned about aerodynamics affecting the driving range, but also lift and stress on the roof rack. I know most boxes have tracks to adjust the clamp position my Rocketbox does and the picture below is with them as far forward as possible. Are there any boxes that can be positioned very far backwards? The Tesla OEM crossbars are set at 28inch apart OC.

I have the perfect cargo box for your in the Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box part # INBRM660WH. I went out to our warehouse for you and measured from the center of the forward-most mounting clamp while slide to the front of the box to the front edge of the box and came back with only 18". Therefore, the Inno Wedge 660 will not have near as much overhang as the Yakima RocketBox Pro 11 Rooftop Cargo Box that you have now. The Inno Wedge 660 also has a much more aerodynamic design as you can see the attached photo because the front edge of the box dips down more. The white color will also be a near perfect match for your 2018 Tesla Model 3.
