Expert Answers about Tesla Model Y


  • Hitch Mounted Snowboard and Bike Rack Solution for 2021 Tesla Model Y
  • The solution that is the closest to what you mentioned would be the Yakima Hitchski part # Y02418 which is a board carrier that can carry up to 2 boards that is designed to attach to hanging bike racks like the Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458. There is not a 4-bike platform rack that can carry snowboards as well. If you were in need of a hitch for your 2021 Tesla Model Y the Draw Tite hitch part # DT58MR is a fit and would be a great option.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2023 Tesla Model Y with OEM Hitch Receiver
  • I do have a great bike rack recommendation that's not only functional but it also compliments the sleek look of your 2023 Tesla Model Y: - Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack # BA22B Kuat has done amazing work with this rack with how easy it is to use and the types of bikes it can accommodate as it can handle up to 60 lb bikes with up to 3.0" wide tires (5.0" tires with the Phat Bike Adapter Kit # APBK). We even have the Access Ramp # ANVBRB as an add-on to help make loading and unloading your...

  • Can Light Kit be Added to Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack
  • You'd potentially be modifying the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 to the point of voiding the warranty but you could use the LED kit part # 98174LED to add the lights and then use the bracket # BK70BB and you'd be set since it sounds like your vehicle has a 4-way installed on it already.

  • Will the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains Scratch my Rims/Wheels During Use
  • While there is no assurance that there will be no damage to the wheels when using the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains part # TH2004205117 I can tell you that when installed and adjusted properly I have not seen any issues with this. These are as you said a confirmed fit for your 2020 Tesla Model Y with the 255/40R20 tires. On the other hand if the chains are not properly installed or adjusted they could move around enough to cause you issues. If you ensure you have...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for 2021 Tesla Model Y
  • For your 2021 Tesla Model Y I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180. The echo plugs in line with your existing 7-way at the back of your vehicle. It is controlled through your smartphone via Bluetooth. Since this does not require any wiring, it is ideal for an electric vehicle like your Tesla. This is a proportional brake controller so the trailer brakes will activate in proportion to your vehicle's braking action. It also uses a triple-axis accelerometer...

  • When using the 1 Bike Add-On for RockyMounts MonoRail Solo # RKY10005 with the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo Bike Rack # RKY10007 the weight capacity is 60 lbs per bike. You'd want to take out the battery of your 65 lb e-bike like you mentioned.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver And Wiring Recommendation For 2021 Tesla Model Y
  • I definitely have a recommendation for you to add both a trailer hitch receiver and wiring for your 2021 Tesla Model Y so you can haul your Wave Runner. The hitch I recommend is from Draw-Tite and the wiring harness from Tekonsha, with the correct fits for your '21 Model Y being the following: - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR - ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT I really like the Draw-Tite due to its superior strength, as it has a 3,500 lb...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2022 Tesla Model Y
  • For a trailer wiring harness 4-way kit that fits your 2022 Tesla Model Y the correct fit is the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT. If you needed a trailer hitch too the EcoHitch part # EH39FR would be a really great option.

  • Recommended 3-4 Bike Rack for 2021 Tesla Model Y
  • The bike rack I recommend for a 2021 Tesla Model Y is the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes part # NV22G-NA22G. The Kuat NV is a top of the line rack with tons of great feature like bike stand, locking cables for security, easy tire mount installation, and a super nice powder coated finish. It allows you to carry up to four bike but can be broken down into a two bike rack as well. It's made mostly of aluminum to help save weight and provide better rust and corrosion resistance. It also...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2020 Tesla Model Y
  • Witch a hitch installed on your 2020 Tesla Model Y like the EcoHitch part # EH39FR the best bike rack really comes down to what you need from the bike rack. Which that comes down to how many bikes you plan to carry and what kind of bikes they are. One of my favorites is the Thule T2 part # TH83JV which is very easy to load, only touches the bikes at the tires, and can fold up when not in use.

  • 2022 Tesla Model Y Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack
  • The Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR is a great choice in a bike rack and you will need both the hitch and wiring to utilize the integrated lights on the rack. I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR and the Tekonsha Wiring Harness # 119250KIT for your 2022 Tesla Model Y. The Draw-Tite is a solid choice that remains hidden behind the rear bumper fascia and the wire harness will splice into your OEM wiring. One of the nice things about the Piston Pro...

  • Recommended Tongue Weight Scale For Trailer With Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch FA92-00-040
  • To check your trailer's tongue weight for using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 4,500 lbs GTW, 450 lbs TW # FA92-00-0450 I recommend the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044 as it can either be used in the coupler before hooking up the trailer, or can be added to your jacks foot to measure tongue weight after it is hooked up. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Kuat Transfer V2 3-Bike Rack vs. RockyMounts WestSlope 3-Bike Rack
  • Those are a couple of great options you mentioned, but between the RockyMounts WestSlope 3-Bike Rack # RKY10223 and the Kuat Transfer V2 3-Bike Rack # KU24FR, I would definitely go with the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU24FR. There are a number of reasons for this, including ease of use, clearances, and fit of bikes. Starting with ease of use, while the WestSlope uses a threaded hitch pin that requires you to use a ratchet like # PTW38106-24 to install, with the Transfer V2 you simply slide its...

  • Ski/Snowboard Rack Recommendation for 2023 Tesla Model 7 with OEM Crossbars
  • I checked with Yakima and their FatCat Evo part # Y03095 is a confirmed fit for the OEM crossbars of your 2023 Tesla Model Y. It has a spacer setup built into it that allows you to raise one side to accommodate tall bindings like it sounds like you have. Overall the rack is very easy to install/remove and load/unload.

  • Recommended 4 Bike Platform Rack For 2021 Tesla Model Y
  • The Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # SA4026F is a very high quality bike rack with a lot of nice features, such as the tilting mechanism to allow access to the trunk on most vehicles. This carrier weighs 63lbs, so if you are worried that you won't have much more weight that can be added due to the low vertical load limit on your OEM hitch, then a better option may be the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # HR4000 which only weighs 42lbs....

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2023 Tesla Model Y
  • For a hitch that fits your 2023 Model Y I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR. It features a bolt-on installation and will be completely hidden with your bumper panel in place. For wiring, check out the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. This uses zero contact interface sensors so you won't be splicing into the sensitive wiring on your Tesla. This will give you a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights. I have attached some installation...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Mountain Bikes with Carbon Frames
  • Since you have carbon framed bikes you'd want to go with a bike rack that only touches the bikes tires so as to protect the delicate frame material. For that I really like the Kuat NV bike racks like the part # BA22B for if you have a 2 inch hitch on your Tesla or the part # BA12B for if you have a 1-1/4 inch hitch. This is a really well made rack that is easy to use, is lighter weight, looks great and only touches the bikes at the tires.

  • Recommended Tire Chains For a 2023 Tesla Model Y with 255/40R20 Tires
  • I recommend the Konig Tire Chains # TH2004205117 for your 2023 Tesla Model Y. These will fit your 255/40R20 tires and are self tensioning so you will not need additional tensioners. I have linked a product video below showing how easy these tire chains are to install.

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 2021 Tesla Model Y with 21 inch Wheels
  • For your 2021 Tesla Model Y that has tire sizes P255/35R21 for the front and P275/35R21 for the rear I would recommend the Konig K-Summit chains part # TH02230K56 for the rear and part # TH02230K55 for the front. What's unique about these chains is that they do not require any inner tire sidewall clearance, they install easily, provide great traction, have rim protection, and will last a long time so they are by far your best option.
