Expert Answers about Tesla Model X


  • Wireless Brake Controller that is Compatible with Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuators
  • While the Prodigy RF brake controller # 90250 is not compatible with electric over hydraulic brake actuators we do have the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 that is compatible and would be a really great option. The install of this is even easier than the RF as all you have to do is plug it into your 7-way and then sync it to your smart phone. I attached a review video for this controller for you to check out as well. I also attached a help article on adding electric over hydraulic brakes...

  • Roof Rack For 2017 Tesla Model X to Carry Kayaks
  • I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars part # 298-SX6000B for the Tesla Model X. The SeaSucker bars attach to the Tesla's roof with 6 vacuum cups and allow you to carry your kayaks when it's time to go kayaking. When you are done with your adventure you can remove the rack and easily remove for storage so the rack is not always on your roof compared to other roof racks that can be difficult to remove and reinstall. The SeaSucker brand is the only roof rack that works on the Tesla Model X's...

  • Can the MaxxTow # MT70034 Clevis be Used to a Tow Trailer with a Lunette Ring
  • As long as your trailer equipped with a lunette ring is within the 5,000 lb weight limit of the MaxxTow # MT70034 and your lunette ring fits within the tangs of the clevis hitch (see attached photos) you can definitely use this with a lunette ring. Please note that your lunette ring can't be more then 2-1/2" thick. You will also need a hitch pin & clip like part # PC3 or a locking hitch pin like part # e98880, as well as the clevis pin itself like part # CP20.

  • Mounting Deka Vented Battery Box on Trailer
  • The Deka Battery Box # DW03188, which is for Group U1 batteries, is designed to be mounted with a surface under it, as the mounting hardware is used to put a strap through it and hold the box that way. You would need to fabricate your own surface in the space you showed in your photo and mount it to that surface with the provided hardware. I've attached a link to an installation video for you to check out that shows how this box was designed to be mounted.

  • Thread size
  • Kuat and bike rack manufacturers don't like to give that info out but will if needed. Reason being they don't want people trying to use their locks and hitch pins on bike racks they weren't tested on since that's typically why people ask. What bike rack do you have? There might be a better option available.

  • Hollywood Rack E-Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying Two RadRover E-Bikes
  • Yes, this is just what you need. Hollywood Racks makes this rack specifically for the heavier E-bikes like your RadRovers with the part # HLY84FR which has an 80 lb per bike capacity and has wider wheel hoops to allow fat bikes up to 5" wide to fit too right out of the box. This will work with a 2" hitch. If you happen to have a 1-1/4" hitch, then you could go with the HLY74FR instead.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Telsa Model X
  • I checked with our vendors and as of 04/27 the only hitch available for the 2023 Tesla Model X is the Draw-Tite item # 76143. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Tesla with included hardware. It does not have a removable receiver so you wouldn't need to use the magnetic accessory. However, there will still need to be a hole cut in the removable panel for the 2" receiver. I have linked the installation instructions below. You will also need a wiring kit but there are none available...

  • Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2017 Tesla Model X with Hitch Installed
  • The best solution we have to carry cargo and a bike rack with a 2017 Tesla Model X that has a hitch installed like the Draw Tite part # 76143 is with a combination bike rack and cargo carrier like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Platform Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier # HR1450Z-85 which is a 2 bike rack that has a cargo carrier that mounts behind it. I attached a review video for this for more info as well. There aren't any trunk mounted bike racks that fit your vehicle.

  • 4-Bike Rack Capable of Carrying Four 70lb. E-Bikes
  • We only have one option that can support 4 e-bikes weighing 70 lbs. each. That is the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # LGA77FR, paired with the 2-Bike Add-On for Lets Go Aero V-Lectric Electric Bike Rack # LGA94FR. The bikes and racks will weigh a total of 390 lbs., so you will want to ensure that the hitch on your Tesla can handle that much tongue weight.

  • Recommended Tire Chains For A 2016 Tesla Model X With 265/50R19 Tires
  • The K67's are recommended because they are Class-S Compatible which means they're low-profile to fit the minimal spacing you have between the tire and wheel well. It does have different clips to match the size of your lug nuts for a snug fit but you can just avoid this mounting style by going with another Class-S tire chain like the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - Easy Fit SUV - Size 265 # th04115265. This self-tensioning snow chain can be...

  • Installation of Aftermarket Hitch on 2016 Tesla Model X With Factory Hitch
  • The Draw-Tite # 76143 that fits your 2016 Tesla Model X is not designed to be installed with the factory hitch. To install the Draw-Tite you would need to first have your factory hitch removed, and then the Draw-Tite installed; this hitch has been rated as a difficult install (a 10 on the 1-10 scale Draw-Tite uses) so I strongly recommend having professionals install the hitch. For wiring which will give you a 4-way connector and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring...

  • Recommended Hitch and Sway Control for a 2023 Tesla Model X
  • Like you said the use of a weight distribution system depends on the vehicle specifications. I checked with Tesla and they do not recommend the use of one due to the unibody construction. Weight distribution systems transfer a portion of the weight of the trailer to the vehicle. A bumpy road will transfer a lot of stress into the unibody of the Model X. The reason that's considered detrimental is that the entire body will bend and twist repeatedly, and could eventually fail. While the...

  • Weight of the Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike Rack Part # S63380
  • The Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike Rack part # S63380 has a shipping weight of 35 lbs which means the actual weight is around 30 lbs. In order to use this bike rack on your 2017 Tesla Model X you will need a trailer hitch and for that I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76143 if you do not already have one.

  • Vertical Load Limit On A 2020 Tesla Model X
  • It seems that you're talking about tongue weight as it is the downward force or the "vertical load" on the hitch. 120lbs is way to light to be the gross trailer weight rating. That being said, the Draw-Tite # 76143 2 inch hitch will fit your 2020 Tesla Model X. It has a gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs. This is how heavy your trailer can be to tow. It has a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs (Downward vertical force on hitch). This hitch is a lot stronger and can handle heavier accessories...

  • Will Yakima Swing EXO Storage System fit 2023 Tesla Model X and 2022 Audi Q7
  • Hey Bernie, yeah as long as the vehicle has a 2 inch hitch installed on it the Yakima Exo Swing Away Storage System part # Y44ZR will fit and work great. If you need a hitch for the 2023 Tesla Model X you'd want the Draw Tite part # 76143 and for the 2022 Audi Q7 part # C13277 would work awesome.

  • Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Towing Capacity of 2018 Tesla Model X
  • It is possible to upgrade the hitch on your 2018 Tesla Model X with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit part # 76143 which rated for 5,000 lbs gross towing weight however you are only as strong as your weakest component and in this case that would be the vehicle itself. I took a look at the online owner's manual for the 2018 Tesla Model X and according to Tesla the loaded weight of a trailer towed by the model X with 245/45R19 or 275/45R20 tires should never exceed...
