Aerodynamic Profile and Quiet Cruising
The Yakima FatCat 4 Evo has been purposefully sculpted to complement the clean, minimalist lines of modern electric vehicles. Aerodynamics play a vital role in every journey, and this carrier minimises wind resistance and buffeting through its low-profile, contoured shape. The result is an exceptionally quiet ride, ensuring cabin tranquillity remains undisturbed even at motorway cruising speeds.
Unlike bulky traditional ski holders that compromise the vehicle's refined silhouette, the FatCat 4 Evo adds a sleek, contemporary touch to your Tesla's roofline. Paired with genuine Tesla roof bars or universal crossbars from our premium exterior range, it forms a cohesive and purposeful travel system ready for alpine conditions.
Generous Capacity for Winter Sports Enthusiasts
Despite its low and streamlined form factor, the carrier delivers comprehensive utility for serious winter sports enthusiasts. The internal span accommodates up to four pairs of powder skis with widths up to 136 mm, or two complete snowboards mounted securely side by side. Soft, protective rubber padding lines the clamping surfaces, cushioning your equipment against vibrations and preventing surface scratches during transit.
Whether heading out for a day of downhill carving or an extended holiday in the mountains, the Yakima FatCat 4 Evo ensures your skis and snowboards travel securely on the roof, leaving the entire cabin and lower luggage space free for passengers and luggage.

Anodised Black Aluminium Craftsmanship
Constructed using high-grade aluminium finished with a durable silver anodised black treatment, the FatCat 4 Evo combines lightweight strength with exceptional weather resistance. This premium anodised finish provides robust protection against road salt, freezing temperatures, grit, and driving moisture, ensuring the carrier maintains its lustrous aesthetic over repeated winter seasons.
Every hinge, mount, and locking mechanism has been developed to handle harsh winter climates without seizing or degrading. The sophisticated dark finish harmonises effortlessly with Tesla factory window trim and dark glass canopies, reinforcing an understated, factory-level look.
Comprehensive Tesla Fitment and Crossbar Compatibility
Engineered for universal versatility, the FatCat 4 Evo fits almost all roof racks, bars, and rails seamlessly. It is fully compatible across the Tesla vehicle family, providing an uncompromising fit on the Model 3 spanning all production iterations from early models to the latest Highland variants, as well as the Model Y across standard and Juniper series. It also mounts effortlessly to roof racks equipped on the Model S and Model X.
The intelligent clamping system adapts directly to aerodynamic, round, and square crossbars without requiring bespoke adapters. This broad compatibility makes swapping the carrier between different family vehicles or upgrading between vehicle models completely seamless.
Swift Tool-Free Installation and Glove-Friendly Operation
Time in freezing temperatures should be spent on the slopes rather than assembling hardware. The Yakima FatCat 4 Evo features a clever mounting design that allows you to install the entire rack onto your roof bars within ten minutes, without the use of hand tools. The hardware clamps down firmly, providing absolute stability and confidence over long distances.
Loading and unloading gear in freezing conditions is made effortless by the oversized release push button. Thoughtfully dimensioned for operation while wearing thick ski mittens or winter gloves, the latch pops open smoothly and securely clicks shut. For complete peace of mind when leaving your vehicle unattended at the ski lodge, integrated SKS (Same Key System) locks physically secure your gear inside the carrier.
Maintenance and Season Care
Maintaining your ski carrier is straightforward and preserves its smooth mechanical operation season after season. Following exposure to gritted roads or salt spray, rinse the aluminium body and rubber contact strips with clean water to prevent abrasive buildup. Ensure moving hinges and lock cylinders remain clear of ice and road debris before storage.
When the ski season draws to a close, the tool-free mechanism permits complete removal in minutes. Storing the carrier in a dry, covered space will keep the rubber supple and the anodised finish in immaculate condition, ensuring your Tesla Supreme winter gear remains primed for your next alpine expedition.
