  • Can Single Zero Contact Module On ZCI Vehicle Wiring Harness 119250KIT Be Replaced?
  • The zero contact modules on the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT you were looking at are not replaceable, and if one were to go bad you would need to replace the entire harness. My contact at Tekonsha mentioned first making sure that the module in question is pointing the correct way or else point wrong way, and then making sure the module is connected to the correct wire. You can test if it is the correct wire by removing the module you think is not working and...

  • Can I Fit the Thule Hitching Post Pro 4 Bike Rack on a 2021 Tesla Model Y
  • Yes, you can use the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR and it will do a good job for you. You're likely going to need bike frame adapter bars for the kids' bikes and for any other bikes that have aggressive step through frames; for those you can use the # 64005. I also recommend getting the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock # THSTL2 and the Thule Cable Lock # TH538XT to secure your bikes. I've linked a review video of these parts for you to check out, as well.

  • Will The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR Fit a 2020 Tesla Model Y?
  • Thank you for bringing this to our attention, I do see the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR will fit your 2020 Tesla Model Y. This information is provided to us both from Draw-Tite and reviews we have received confirming fitment on the 2020 model year as well. I do recommend installing the Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which can be used to connect to small trailers or to add Auxiliary Lights...

  • Comparing Draw-Tite and EcoHitch Hitches for a 2021 Tesla Model Y
  • 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...

  • Has EcoHitch for 2015 Tesla Model S P85D had Galvanic Corrosion Issue Fixed
  • Yes, the EcoHitch Stealth part # 306-X7201 comes with washers that were designed to prevent galvanic corrosion due to dissimilar metals between the hitch material and the body/frame material of your 2015 Tesla Model S so you would not need to worry about that!

  • Correct Konig CG-9 Tire Size for 2022 Tesla Model 3 235/40-19
  • While Tesla would have a good idea on what tire chains would fit their vehicles Konig would have the most accurate fit info as all they do is fit tire chains to tire sizes. Unless Tesla came out and had a special reason for the 103 # TH00023103 (which is not something we've ever seen a manufacturer do) I would stick with what Konig recommends with the 102 size which I just confirmed as a fit for your tire size of 235/40-19 with the part # TH00023102.

  • Does Yakima MegaWarrior Cargo Basket Fit 2021 Tesla Model Y Factory Roof Rack
  • I checked with Yakima for you, and can verify that yes, the MegaWarrior will fit your 2021 Tesla Model Y with a factory roof rack; the correct part number for this cargo basket is the following: - Yakima MegaWarrior Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07080 The MegaWarrior # Y07080 does have two parts that telescope into each other to put the basket together, but the way it mounts to your fixed crossbars are with a clamp that can be positioned at different points on the basket, which is why...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Can Hole Cut in 2020 Tesla Model 3 be Covered When Not In Use
  • A hole does get cut in the lower fascia of your 2020 Tesla Model 3 to install the EcoHitch # 306-X7373 but we offer a cover for the hole that you can use when the hitch isn't in use. For that you'd just need the part # 306-XA2002. I attached a picture of what it looks like installed for you to check out as well. I attached an install video for the hitch and a review video for the cover for you to check out as well.

  • Actual Tongue Weight Rating of Trailer Hitch for 2021 Tesla Model Y
  • The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver part # EH39FR which is a fit for a 2021 Tesla Model Y has a 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight rating. That said, these ratings are for the hitch only which is tested separately of the vehicle. You'll have to verify the trailer and tongue weight capacity of the vehicle in the owner's manual and abide by the lowest rated component whether it's the hitch or vehicle. In most cases, the hitches are rated for more than the vehicle.

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Gordo 2 Bike Carrier Fit a 2019 Tesla Model 3
  • I do have an excellent trunk mount bike rack option for a 2019 Tesla Model 3 but the Hollywood Racks Gordo 2 Bike Carrier part # HRG2 is not a fit. Instead, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack part # Y02634 which is an excellent lightweight option. There is not a limit on wheelbase length but so long as you are under the 35 lb weight capacity you should be fine.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2 Aventon Aventure Step-Through E-Bikes
  • For your two Aventon Aventure fat tire ebikes, I recommend the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack item # Y36FR as it will meet all your requirements. The maximum weight capacity is 66 lbs per bike, it has a 2" hitch for connection to your 2" receiver. The loading ramp is included and can be stored on the rack itself during use. While it is a little more difficult to load the wider tire bikes since the ramp is narrow you can still use it. You can secure your bikes in place by the seat posts since...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2017 Tesla Model S
  • We can get your 2017 Tesla Model S set up with a trailer hitch receiver for towing your jet ski trailer, and the best option for a hitch that fits your '17 Model S is from EcoHitch: - EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7201 The EcoHitch # 306-X7201 is the best because it is totally concealed, with the hitch hidden behind your bumper, and a removable receiver so when you aren't using the hitch your Tesla completely retains its factory appearance.

  • 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.

  • Correct Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Tesla Model 3
  • The correct Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2020 Tesla Model 3 is part # C45FR. I checked with Curt to confirm this for you. It looks like the side plates have been redesigned to better accommodate the new model so you won't have any issues with this hitch. It has the 2" receiver tube opening so you'll have a larger selection of bike racks and cargo carriers to choose from. I have attached a list with some options below such as the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack part # KU74FR which...

  • 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...

For that reason you will be able to use the Replacement T-Slot Mounting Hardware for Yakima FatCat and Whispbar Ski Carriers # 8860085 to mount your Yakima ski carrier to your factory crossbars' T-slots.
