The Draw-Tite # DT58MR and EcoHitch # EH39FR that will fit your 2021 Tesla Model Y have very little weight difference. The # EH39FR will weigh 35 pounds shipped, and the # DT58MR will be slightly lighter at 32 pounds shipped.

Between the two, however, I would go with the Draw-Tite # DT58MR. This is due to the higher tongue weight capacity, but I do suggest double checking how much tongue weight your Model Y is actually rated to handle.

As a side note, if you will ever pull a trailer or use an accessory with lights, it is a good idea to install the Tekonsha # 119250KIT at the same time as the hitch install. This will require access to several of the same places the hitch does, so two birds one stone.
