Saw that... I bet the actual roof could hold a lot of weight, but the cross bars may not be that strong. Are cross bars normally stronger than that? Couldn't someone make aftermarket bars that hold more?

Indeed it does say 200 lbs for the Tesla cross bars. Weird considering 'exoskeleton' !
"FEATURES: LOAD RATING: 200 LBS"

Just as a comparison.
Rivians says:
"Built sturdy with a sleek design to carry​
250 lbs of gear while driving or​
600 lbs with a full rooftop tent while parked.
* Telescoping fit for roof and bed rail​
* Compatible with a range of Yakima Mounts [ ?? ]​
* One-handed snap-on design"​

Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (I know, I know)
It's basically a generic grid of lashing points. You can put hooks or straps, etc anywhere on the grid to secure goodies.

ETA: It may be the main reason I get the CT. I don't know WTF I would need to put on it, but I want it. want. want. want. :)
Some here it seems.

The divider MOLLE panel for the CT bed solves a nice use case: How to secure propane tanks for the BBQ when taking them for refill.

Now you can just place that 14" from the tailgate, and strap them to the MOLLE panel, upright.

Have tried that in the past... doesn't work all the great! (single point of tie down vs two on either side)
