Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit on 2021 Tesla Model 3

Question

Question:

Hello - will the Ecohitch fit the 2021 Model 3? I do not see it listed as an option and I am not aware of any major changes in the rear bumper design from the 2020 model. Thank you,

Good question, and while we do have a hitch that fits your 2021 Tesla Model 3, I reached out to EcoHitch who confirmed the hitch you asked about isn't a fit for the '21 Model 3. They mentioned that while the two model years were similar, the chassis configuration is slightly different in that there are a different number of bolt holes from '20 to '21 where the hitches install.

There is a hitch designed to fit the 2021 Tesla Model 3 though, and is very similar, from Stealth Hitches. It is completely hidden and has a receiver or ball mount you can remove when it isn't in use, so your Tesla completely retains its factory look. You can choose from one that comes with just a receiver for an accessory like a bike rack, or one that comes with that as well as a ball mount and wiring if you plan on doing some towing:

- Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391TES317

- Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver with Towing Kit # 391TES317T
