Is There A Totally Hidden Hitch Available For A 2021 Tesla Model 3 To Carry A Bike Rack?
Question:
So I think hitches are ugly. With that being said, I need to get one for my new 2021 Tesla Model 3 so I can carry my bike rack. I was originally looking at switching to a trunk mount option and getting rid of my platform rack, that I actually got from you guys, but I really don't like them either and don't want to mess the bumper up. Is there a hitch that will be completely hidden after installing it? Like 100% invisible. Probably asking too much, but one can hope I guess.

Actually, we do have an option for your 2021 Tesla Model 3 that will be 100% hidden when not in use. If you take a look at the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391TES317, it will be exactly what you are looking for. It gives you 350 pounds of carrying capacity, which will be perfect for your Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH83JV. When not in use though, you can actually remove the receiver tube and store it in your vehicle or with your bike rack. This means it will be completely invisible when you aren't using it. Installing this will require you to cut a section out of an under-body panel, but the instructions actually include a template for doing this, so it definitely makes it a lot easier. I included an install video of this being put on a 2021 Model 3 as well. For what you requested, this will be perfect.
