Will the Backup Sensors on my 2019 Tesla Model 3 Activate Carrying Thule T2 Bike Rack
Question:
I want to install the stealth rack and Thule Classic 2 bike platform on my 2019 Tesla 3 but I am worried that the rear camera/sensors will go off when I tow my bicycles. I cant find any information on how to turn these sensors off or how to prevent this problem. Thanks for any advice regarding warning alarms etc... that may result when driving with the bicycles on the back of the Tesla 3.

You can install the Stealth Hitch # 391TES317 and use it with your Thule Classic T2, but in all likelihood it's going to set off the backup alarm on your 2019 Tesla Model 3. The good news is that you can simply mute the alarm on your vehicle (there should be a setting for this that can be found in the owner's manual) when you've got the rack attached. It should also be noted that this is extremely common when it comes to vehicles with backup sensors and carrying bike racks, so it's not going to cause an damage.
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to have a look at, as well.
