My contact did say that the Tesla rear bumper has quite a bit of tolerance from the factory, so it's something they occasionally see but more often there's enough clearance available to hook up safety chains.

  • To install the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack # Y02637 on your 2018 Tesla Model S you will just need to make the Joe Measurement 14-7/8" and then change the hooks to anchor mode - the straps are long enough though and won't need to be exchanged for longer ones.
