Expert Answers about Tesla Model Y


  • Hitch Mounted Snowboard and Bike Rack Solution for 2021 Tesla Model Y
  • The solution that is the closest to what you mentioned would be the Yakima Hitchski part # Y02418 which is a board carrier that can carry up to 2 boards that is designed to attach to hanging bike racks like the Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458. There is not a 4-bike platform rack that can carry snowboards as well. If you were in need of a hitch for your 2021 Tesla Model Y the Draw Tite hitch part # DT58MR is a fit and would be a great option.

  • 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...

  • While there is no assurance that there will be no damage to the wheels when using the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains part # TH2004205117 I can tell you that when installed and adjusted properly I have not seen any issues with this. These are as you said a confirmed fit for your 2020 Tesla Model Y with the 255/40R20 tires.

  • Does Draw Tite Hitch for 2023 Tesla Model Y Have Capacity for E-Bike Rack
  • The tongue weight rating of a hitch is the same thing as it's vertical load limit. But sometimes hitches are made for vehicles and they end up having more capacity than the vehicle like in this case with the Draw Tite hitch # DT58MR which fits your 2023 Tesla Model Y. So you'd be limited to carrying up to 160 lbs. For an e-bike rack the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 is a really nice rack. It's not too heavy, works with the alernative frame styles of e-bikes and also comes with a ramp...

  • Snow Chain Recommendation 2002 Ford F-350 315/75-16 Tire Size
  • I attached a link to a page that has all of the tire chains we offer for the tire size 315/75-16 that you have on your 2002 Ford F-350 but the ones I really like are the Konig chains part # KON74FR which are easy to install, provide great traction, and will last a long time.
