The Draw Tite Hitch part # DT58MR that fits your 2022 Tesla Model Y does not void the warranty or affect the safety rating of the vehicle. The federal magnusson-moss warranty act protects you from a dealership who would try to void warranty based on a hitch install. view full answer...
The ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT will be the best option for a no-splice wiring harness for your 2021 Tesla Model Y. The kit will completely bypass the factory wiring. It uses sensors that clamp on to the factory wiring and detect electrical current, so no cutting or splicing will be needed.
I have linked our install video below if you want to take a closer look. view full answer...
For a hitch that fits your 2023 Model Y I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR. It features a bolt-on installation and will be completely hidden with your bumper panel in place.
For wiring, check out the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. This uses zero contact interface sensors so you won't be splicing into the sensitive wiring on your Tesla. This will give you a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights.

I have a couple possible solutions, but I don't think the hitch manufacturers had a 7-way in mind when they designed the hitches. There also is not a lot of space to work with on the 2023 Model Y. As you said, the safety chain attachments are in the way on the # DT58MR, and the cross tube is in the way for the other option from EcoHitch # EH39FR.
I don't have the dimensions of the cutout, but it may still be possible to fit the 7-way to the left or right of the safety chain attachments.... view full answer...
For your 2023 Tesla Model Y I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR.This is a custom fit Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. The hitch features a completely hidden design with the bumper panel in place, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
For wiring, you will need the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. This uses zero-contact interface sensors so no splicing is required. Once installed, you will have a 4-way to power your trailer's... view full answer...
I would be happy to help!
For your sons 2012 Tesla Model Y I recommend the Tekonsha # 119250KIT. It is a universal harness and would require quite a bit of extra work, but is the currently the only option available.
This will pair up perfectly with the EcoHitch Invisible Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH39FR you already purchased.
The only other components needed to tow a trailer are a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin and clip. If you do not already have these they can be purchased all... view full answer...
Just like the Thule Helium Pro, the Thule Apex does not tilt down with bikes loaded. It fact, there is only one hanging bike rack that tilts down with bikes loaded, the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack # SR27041.
This is because there would be too much stress on the cradles - the lower the bikes got the more they'd twist - and because the rack arms would no longer be horizontal and have a place for the bikes to rest on. The Softride is different because the bikes hang vertically.
So to tilt... view full answer...
That would be a problem, yes.
Your Safety Chain Loop # E950 needs to be welded to something that is welded or bolted on to the frame of your tow vehicle. Since a ball mount is secured to the hitch receiver via a hitch pin it isn't safe enough.
Safety chains are supposed to be there as a last resort in a worst-case scenario where your trailer becomes uncoupled from your tow vehicle - this is why the safety chain loop needs to be installed directly to the tow vehicle itself. If for some... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite # DT58MR is fairly similar to the EcoHitch # EH39FR in many respects including the design and installation, but the EcoHitch # EH39FR is made from an alloy of recycled materials where the Draw-Tite is made from steel.
Typically the draw of EcoHitch is their design, which on most vehicles provides a completely hidden hitch for your vehicle - where most other manufacturers don't have completely hidden hitches available. In this case, both the Draw-Tite and EcoHitch mount behind... view full answer...
It does! Since the crossbars on your 2021 Tesla Model Y have a spread of 35-1/2 inches, you can absolutely use the rooftop cargo basket from Thule you asked about:
- Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT
Crossbar spread is measured by manufacturers from center to center, like you did with yours, and the Canyon XT # TH859XT fits crossbar spreads between 20 inches and 37 inches, which is why it will fit your Tesla's factory roof rack.
This is a really nice choice for a rooftop... view full answer...
Yes, so long as your 2022 Tesla Model Y has a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, you can absolutely use the Carpod cargo carrier you asked about, which is the following part number:
- 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid - 2" Hitches # M2205-2201
If you need a hitch the correct fit for your '22 Model Y (all models, including the Long Range) is the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH39FR.
When we installed this hitch on a Model Y we found it was about 5" from the hitch pin hole... view full answer...
The Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR is an excellent selection and will work great with your 2022 Tesla Model Y both in the folded up and flat positions, but I'll go ahead and give you the dimensional numbers so you can verify on your end and have some peace of mind prior to purchasing.
When we installed the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR on a 2022 Model Y we found that this measured 5" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rearmost part of the bumper. According... view full answer...
You can certainly use the Power Grip RV Power Cord Adapter w/ Handles # CAM55175 to plug your 30amp cable running from your travel trailer to the 50 amp outlet in your house. This will more efficiently power your GE air conditioner and allow you more power to run other items in your trailer. view full answer...
The only version of the Kuat NV we carry # NV22B is the one that comes with the hitch lock that has it's lock core perpendicular to the hitch pin like you are wanting. view full answer...
The Inno Ridge Rooftop Cargo Box # INBRA220R-BK will fit the OEM roof rack of your 2021 Tesla Model Y as long as the crossbars are between 20 and 30 inches apart. It looks like your spread is 35 inches though so a different box would be ideal like the # TH6356B would be what you'd want. view full answer...
Hey Leland; thanks for the question and let's start with the accessory you were mentioning, which is the Crossbar SmarT-Slot Kit 2 for Yakima FatCat Ski and Snowboard Carriers # Y03098. This is what is needed to add the T-bolts to both the Yakima FatCat EVO 4 # Y03095 and EVO 6 # Y03096.
That said, I don't know the exact T-slot dimensions of the Tesla Model Y's crossbars. You'll have to measure the T-slots, and I can tell you the T-bolts of the Yakima kit are 1/4" by 1/4". So you can use... view full answer...
Those are a couple of great options you mentioned, but between the RockyMounts WestSlope 3-Bike Rack # RKY10223 and the Kuat Transfer V2 3-Bike Rack # KU24FR, I would definitely go with the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU24FR.
There are a number of reasons for this, including ease of use, clearances, and fit of bikes. Starting with ease of use, while the WestSlope uses a threaded hitch pin that requires you to use a ratchet like # PTW38106-24 to install, with the Transfer V2 you simply slide its... view full answer...
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.
On the other hand if the chains are not properly installed or adjusted they could move around enough to cause you issues. If you ensure you have... view full answer...
