It does! Since the crossbars on your 2021 Tesla Model Y have a spread of 35-1/2 inches, you can absolutely use the rooftop cargo basket from Thule you asked about:

- Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT

Crossbar spread is measured by manufacturers from center to center, like you did with yours, and the Canyon XT # TH859XT fits crossbar spreads between 20 inches and 37 inches, which is why it will fit your Tesla's factory roof rack.

This is a really nice choice for a rooftop basket because at 49 inches long and 40 inches wide it gives you a lot of cargo space relative to other baskets, is easy to install on your rack with just the use of its clamps, and has a wind fairing in front so it is quieter than other baskets. You can also lock it to your roof rack if you like by adding lock cylinders, the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400.
