I do have a couple options for you. We do not have any roof racks that are confirmed to fit the Tesla Model Y's, but I see that Tesla does offer a roof rack themselves. The size and weight of your kayak also limit your options, but I have an option for both if you have a roof rack or do not.

If you have the Tesla roof rack, your best option is going to be the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier # LR54FR. This rack can support a kayak weighing up to 175 lbs. and a width between 28" and 47-1/2" which will work for your 120 lb. 37" wide kayak.

If you do not have a roof rack, your best option is going to be the Malone HandiRack Universal Fit Roof Rack # MPG452. This is the only option without a roof rack that can support both the weight and width of your kayak.

The other thing you will want to do is to check the owners manual of your Tesla Model Y and ensure that your roof is rated for 120 lbs. or more.
