• In regards to the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # EH84GR which is a fit for a 2020 Tesla Model 3, the hardware captured inside the hitch that secures the bumper won't really pose a risk of corrosion as the hole is larger than the bolt so there will be space in between the bumper beam and bolt.
