Question:
What is the best way to carry a bike rack on 2020 Tesla Model 3? Is a hitch a good idea for this particular car?

Expert Reply:
A trailer hitch, the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH84GR, is definitely the best way to carry a bike rack on your 2020 Tesla Model 3 because it is going to be the sturdiest, most secure way to carry any type of bike a rack can handle.
The EcoHitch Stealth has a 2 inch receiver which is completely removable so if you want to make it look like you don't even have a hitch on when you aren't carrying your bike rack, you can just remove the receiver and pop on the Undercover Access Hole Cover for EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-XA2002. I've added a link to a video install showing the hitch being installed on a Tesla for you to take a look at.
For a bike rack, since the Tesla is relatively low to the ground, I strongly recommend using a bike rack that has a rise in the shank to ensure clearance. For that the best option is the Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F for a 2-bike rack or # SA4026F for a 4-bike version, and I have added links to video reviews of both racks for you to check out as well.
I have added links to video reviews of both racks, as well as a link to our entire selection of bike racks that will fit in a 2 inch receiver for you to check out.
