Will the Thule Force XT XXL # TH6359B Fit on my Tesla Model 3?
Question:
Hello, Im looking for a cargo box for my 2018 Tesla Model 3 and considering the Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Black AeroSkin Item # TH6359B. Can you please let me know if this will fit on the Tesla Model 3? I have already ordered the OEM Tesla Model Roof Rack Im also considering the Thule Motion XT XL, but I like that the Thule Force XT XXL has 22 cu ft of storage space vs. 18 cu ft with the Motion XL. Id be curious to get your opinion on these two cargo boxes for a Tesla Model 3.

When deciding if the Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft # TH6359B fits the factory roof rack on your 2018 Tesla Model 3, there are a couple things to consider.
First off, I recommend measuring the width and height of your crossbars. Since the # TH6359B is compatible with crossbars that do not exceed 3-5/16 inches wide x 1-1/2 inches tall, it is important to confirm that your crossbars fit within these parameters. This requirement is the same for the Thule Force XT XL Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft # TH6358B.
Secondly, we need to consider bar spread. This is the space between the crossbars on your rack. For both models of boxes, you need to have a bar spread between 23-5/8 inches and 35-7/8 inches long in order for the clamps to be positioned correctly with the crossbars.
With these measurements, you can know for sure if either the # TH6359B or the # TH6358B fit your 2018 Tesla Model 3.
