Expert Reply:

The bumper beam on your 2023 Tesla Model Y being replaced by the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR should not affect your vehicle warranty. The design is similar to the factory receiver Tesla installs on their vehicle from the factory. The only way I can see it voiding your warranty is if you were using the receiver in a manner that exceeds the factory towing capability from Tesla and caused damage to the vehicle.
