Recommended Brake Controller for 2021 Tesla Model Y
For your 2021 Tesla Model Y I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180. The echo plugs in line with your existing 7-way at the back of your vehicle. It is controlled through your smartphone via Bluetooth. Since this does not require any wiring, it is ideal for an electric vehicle like your Tesla. This is a proportional brake controller so the trailer brakes will activate in proportion to your vehicle's braking action. It also uses a triple-axis accelerometer...

2022 Tesla Model Y Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack
The Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR is a great choice in a bike rack and you will need both the hitch and wiring to utilize the integrated lights on the rack. I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR and the Tekonsha Wiring Harness # 119250KIT for your 2022 Tesla Model Y. The Draw-Tite is a solid choice that remains hidden behind the rear bumper fascia and the wire harness will splice into your OEM wiring. One of the nice things about the Piston Pro...

Recommended Vehicle Wiring Harness For 2021 Tesla Model Y W/ EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Installed
I would be happy to help! For your sons 2012 Tesla Model Y I recommend the Tekonsha # 119250KIT.

Can Light Kit be Added to Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack
You'd potentially be modifying the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 to the point of voiding the warranty but you could use the LED kit part # 98174LED to add the lights and then use the bracket # BK70BB and you'd be set since it sounds like your vehicle has a 4-way installed on it already.

Comparing Draw-Tite and EcoHitch Hitches for a 2021 Tesla Model Y
Thank you for your purchase and for all of the info! The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # DT58MR is still an excellent choice for your 2021 Tesla Model Y and it allows you to replace that removeable fascia so you won't need a hitch cover. The only other trailer hitch available at this time (May 2022) is the EcoHitch # EH39FR. This is also a solid option but it sits at a higher price-point and you install a bracket on the fascia cover so you can still utilize it. So the EcoHitch might stick out...

For a trailer wiring harness 4-way kit that fits your 2022 Tesla Model Y the correct fit is the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT.

Bike Rack Recommendation for Mountain Bikes with Carbon Frames
Since you have carbon framed bikes you'd want to go with a bike rack that only touches the bikes tires so as to protect the delicate frame material. For that I really like the Kuat NV bike racks like the part # BA22B for if you have a 2 inch hitch on your Tesla or the part # BA12B for if you have a 1-1/4 inch hitch. This is a really well made rack that is easy to use, is lighter weight, looks great and only touches the bikes at the tires.

Hitch Mounted Snowboard and Bike Rack Solution for 2021 Tesla Model Y
The solution that is the closest to what you mentioned would be the Yakima Hitchski part # Y02418 which is a board carrier that can carry up to 2 boards that is designed to attach to hanging bike racks like the Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458. There is not a 4-bike platform rack that can carry snowboards as well.

For your 2021 Tesla Model Y that has tire sizes P255/35R21 for the front and P275/35R21 for the rear I would recommend the Konig K-Summit chains part # TH02230K56 for the rear and part # TH02230K55 for the front.

Which Hitch for 2022 Tesla Model Y Is Easier to Remove Rear Knockout Panel for Hitch Access
The EcoHitch # EH39FR for your 2022 Tesla Model Y does provide a much easier solution for removal of the appearance panel for access to the hitch opening compared to the Draw Tite # DT58MR. If you fast-forward to the 25 second mark of the attached install video for the Draw Tite Hitch # DT58MR you can see what it takes to remove the rear trim piece that covers the hitch opening.

Saris Bones vs Thule Apex XT Bike Racks for a 2021 Tesla Model Y
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...

Witch a hitch installed on your 2020 Tesla Model Y like the EcoHitch part # EH39FR the best bike rack really comes down to what you need from the bike rack.
