Expert Answers about Tesla Model 3


  • Does Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch with Towing Kit for 2020 Tesla Model 3 Work with Trailer Mode
  • The Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch with Towing Kit part # 391TES317T for a 2020 Tesla Model 3 contains a wiring harness which installs by splicing into the tail light circuits on the vehicle. It would not interact with the Tesla Trailer Mode. That said, there would be no affect on this program with the above wiring harness and it would still work as normal. The mode can be engaged manually though in-dash settings. I have attached for you below what all the program does per the manufacturer. Some...

  • Can Brake Controller be Installed on a 2020 Tesla Model 3
  • It is possible to connect a brake controller to your 2020 Tesla Model 3. Since Tesla doesn't recommend towing with the Model 3 your best option is the Curt Echo # C51180 because it only need the basic lighting functions and 12V power for operation. This connects to your Apple or Android smart device via Bluetooth and that's how you change the settings. I've attached a review video for you to check out. Now to complete your towing setup I recommend using the Stealth Hitches Kit # 391TES317T...

  • Stealth Hitch for a 2023 Tesla Model 3
  • I just spoke with my rep at Stealth Hitches. He told me they have not confirmed that the item # 391TES317 fits the 2023 Model 3 at their development facility yet. They have had a few installers state they completed the install successfully. Also, based on their development teams research, they do believe the item # 391TES317 will fit the 2023 because there have been no major changes to the vehicle from 2022 to 2023, like you pointed out.

  • Which Stealth Hitch Fits on a 2021 Tesla Model 3 With Only 3 Bolt Holes
  • You are correct that Tesla has removed one of the bolt holes where a hitch would be installed, but there is a new bracket that is available for this hitch that does address the change for the 2021 Model 3. You will still order the same # 391TES317 (for accessories only) or # 391TES317T (for towing and accessories) that is listed as a fit for your vehicle but new brackets are included. I've linked an installation video of this part for you to have a look at, as well.

  • 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 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...

  • Will the Thule Force XT XXL # TH6359B Fit on my Tesla Model 3?
  • When deciding if the Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft # TH6359B fits the factory roof rack on your 2018 Tesla Model 3, there are a couple things to consider. First off, I recommend measuring the width and height of your crossbars. Since the # TH6359B is compatible with crossbars that do not exceed 3-5/16 inches wide x 1-1/2 inches tall, it is important to confirm that your crossbars fit within these parameters. This requirement is the same for the Thule Force XT XL Rooftop...

  • Compatibility of EcoHitch Stealth Hitch Reciever # EH84GR on 2017 Model 3
  • The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # EH84GR is not a confirmed fit for the 2017 Tesla Model 3. For your trailer wiring, I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT which will not require splicing but will simply capture the wire signal by clamping onto the outside of the insulation of the wire and using an integrated sensor. The power for the converter is drawn directly from the...

  • The Pewag Servo RS Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # PWRS76 are a fit for size 235/45-18 tires, which are found on many models of 2018 Tesla Model 3.

  • Comparing Thule Canyon XT vs Yakima OffGrid Roof Basket for 2020 Tesla Model 3
  • As a petite 5'2" Ecuadorian girl, I can totally relate, so I'm happy to make a recommendation! Based on my research, your 2020 Tesla Model 3 factory roof rack system has a crossbar spread of 28 inches. This means that both the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT and the Yakima OffGrid # Y07138 are compatible with the factory rack on your Model 3. Both roof baskets have the capability to accept a variety of roof mounted accessories. The Yakima OffGrid actually has two adjustable accessory bars, which...

  • Does the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier 195125 Have a Maximum Wheel/Tire Diameter
  • The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 holds virtually all wheels with a lug nut circle up to 8". The wheel diameter does not matter. The tire diameter and sidewall also do not matter. The only possible exception is deep dish or dually-style wheels which would require you to use the # RM-195225. The only requirement is that the distance between the bolt holes across from each other on the wheel does not exceed that 8" limit. The review video for the spare tire carrier shows this...

  • Will Roadmaster RM-076 High/Low Adapter Clear Rear Bumper of 2022 Tesla Model 3
  • We haven't yet installed the EcoHitch # EH84GR on a 2022 Tesla Model 3 yet, so I can't say for certain what kind of clearance you need, but you can take a measurement on your own and compare it to the # RM-076 high/low adapter to determine if it'll clear the rear bumper and how far it'll extend rearward. You'll need to take a measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole in the receiver of your EcoHitch rearward until the rearmost part of the back bumper is cleared, as shown in the...

  • Determining If Any Rear Suspensions Enhancement Will Fit 2018 Tesla Model 3
  • At this time there is not a suspension enhancement option confirmed to fit your vehicle but there might still be an option. What you will need to do is measure the distance between the coils in the center of your rear coil springs. Depending on the distance between the coils there may be a Coil SumoSprings option such as the # CSS-1125R which will fit. This option installs in between your center coils and stiffens up the springs to keep your vehicle from sagging when towing a trailer....

  • The correct Stealth Hitches that fits your 2022 Tesla Model 3 is part # 391TES317 if you plan on only using the hitch for accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier, or the part # 391TES317T if you plan on using the hitch for towing as well. The receiver that comes with the Stealth Hitches has been tested and approved for the lighter duty of accessories which is why the Stealth Hitches ball mount kit is needed for towing.
