Your owners manual for your 2023 Tesla Model X specifically states when carrying any hitch mounted vertical load within 24" of the hitch receiver the maximum load is 120lbs. They do point out this is separate from the maximum tongue weight capacity of 500lbs with their 2" receiver installed and towing a trailer.

When we have listed tongue weights, the tongue weight rating is the weight that a hitch can handle vertically pressing down on the receiver.

The tongue weight of your vehicle and hitch will also apply in the same manner when it comes to carrying bikes on a bike rack. You will want to refer to the tongue weight capacity in your owner's manual for the most accurate information, but the Draw-Tite # 76143 has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 750-lbs, so you'd be able to put that much combined weight in bikes and a bike rack using the hitch (which would take some pretty heavy bikes!). view full answer...

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76143 which is a fit for a 2020 Tesla Model X has a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs so that is the amount of weight you carry with a bike rack and bikes, cargo carrier with cargo, or on the trailer tongue. That said, the vehicle is likely rated lower so you may want to check with the manufacturer to see what weight they recommend for the trailer tongue if applicable. That said, I don't think a four bike rack would be out of the question... view full answer...
I checked with our vendors and as of 04/27 the only hitch available for the 2023 Tesla Model X is the Draw-Tite item # 76143. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Tesla with included hardware. It does not have a removable receiver so you wouldn't need to use the magnetic accessory. However, there will still need to be a hole cut in the removable panel for the 2" receiver.
