- Recommended Trailer Hitch and E-Bike Rack for 2020 Tesla Model S
- We can absolutely get your 2020 Tesla Model S set up with a trailer hitch and bike rack for a pair of 50 lb electric bikes, and let's go ahead and start with the bike rack. For that, the best option by far is from EcoHitch:
- EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7201
The reason this EcoHitch is the best option for your Tesla is because it is the only hitch for this vehicle which has a 2 inch receiver, which is important because a 2 inch hitch allows for a much better option...

- The Curt 2-inch trailer hitch part # C45FR is a fit for your 2019 Tesla Model 3 and is by far the best value hitch option out there. It's a new fit at this time (April 2020) so we don't have much feedback on it or an install video.
I did attach an install instructions link that is very detailed and will walk you through the process of the install as well.
You will have to cut a small hole in the lower fascia panel for the hitch opening to fit through which I attached a picture of.

- For your 2018 Tesla Model S the only tire chains we have are the K-Summits part # TH02230K45 which you may have already tried but you should check to make sure they are the K45 size which is correct for all factory tire sizes of your vehicle.
Sometimes you have to manually push the K-Summits all the way up onto the tire and not just let it work its way up onto the tire.

- Thank you for your purchase and for all of the info!
The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # DT58MR is still an excellent choice for your 2021 Tesla Model Y and it allows you to replace that removeable fascia so you won't need a hitch cover. The only other trailer hitch available at this time (May 2022) is the EcoHitch # EH39FR. This is also a solid option but it sits at a higher price-point and you install a bracket on the fascia cover so you can still utilize it. So the EcoHitch might stick out...

view full answer... - Would Thule T2 XTB Bike Rack Fit 2020 Tesla Model 3 with EcoHitch
- Yes the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV will fit great to the EcoHitch you have installed on your 2020 Tesla Model 3. The difference between the XT and the XTB is that the XTB is all black.

view full answer... - Saris Bones vs Thule Apex XT Bike Racks for a 2021 Tesla Model Y
- The only time I would recommend the Saris Bones Hitch 4 Bike Rack # SA884 over the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack # TH9025XT is if the weight of the bike rack was the only factor since the Bones weighs 22 lbs while the Apex XT weighs 35 lbs.
The Apex XT has integrated bike and rack locks as well as an anti-rattle knob which means it's a tool-free installation and you don't have to remember to grab the locks before you leave. The cradles are also spaced apart 7" center to center which is more...

- 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.

view full answer... - Do You Sell A Konig Tire Chain That Will Fit My 2020 Tesla Model 3
- Tesla and Konig/ Pewag have a relationship. In fact, the email I received from the Konig/Pewag representative said they will not warranty or support any Konig snow tire chains not recommended by Tesla. The email said Konig makes snow tire chains specifically for Tesla tires and vehicles and they differ from any retail version of their snow tire chains. Due to this development, I have to say that the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - Easy Fit CU9...

- I will do my best to answer all of your questions!
The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 391TES317 for your 2021 Tesla Model 3 will protrude right around 3-3/4" from the bottom edge of your rear bumper as you can see in the included picture.

view full answer... - Is Lock Needed for Lower Hitch Opening of EcoHitch Stealth Hitch
- While there isn't a locking pin for the lower portion of the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH84GR the good news is this won't be a high-theft item at all for a few reasons. Most people would not assume that it comes off as it appears like a standard hitch, even if they knew it came off they'd have to have the correct size wrench on them to remove it, and even if knew it wouldn't really be of much value to anyone. This is a super specific application which the likelihood of someone...
view full answer... - Recommended Easiest To Install Trailer Hitch for 2022 Tesla Model 3
- The two trailer hitch options for a 2022 Tesla Model 3 are the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # 391TES317 and the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # EH84GR. The install difficulty will be about the same, it's not really challenging but it will take you some time since the bumper cover has to come off, luckily we have a video you can follow along with (see below).

view full answer... - What Type of Lower Fascia Trimming is Required to Install Hitch on 2020 Tesla Model 3
- On the 2018 models it was true that you had to trim a hole in the lower rear fascia. However for your 2020 Tesla Model 3 to install the # EH84GR It is no longer necessary to trim it because they come with a knock out in that location so that the lower hitch opening can attach to the hitch's main crossbeam.
I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out on a similar 2021 Tesla Model 3.
